If God is Merciful, Why Eternal Hell? (2019-04-18) #

0:00:00 why am I talking about contract and why
0:00:02 why my dad made that up that version the
0:00:04 reason is this there is something which
0:00:07 unifies yes Western saw and Islamic
0:00:11 thought and it is the idea of contract
0:00:13 it is the idea of contract the Quran
0:00:17 says er you a lady named Oh Bulbul are
0:00:19 quotes o you who believe
0:00:22 to fill the contracts and in liberal
0:00:26 theory one of the underpinning things is
0:00:28 God make sure that you fulfill the
0:00:30 contract because it's so obvious that
0:00:35 chaos would ensue listen carefully chaos
0:00:39 would ensue if contracts are not abided
0:00:42 by imagine you have peace treaties
0:00:45 between countries and they're revoked
0:00:47 straight away because contracts are not
0:00:48 respected contracts are important on
0:00:53 everyone's world view on our world view
0:00:56 and on their world view why is that
0:00:59 important because imagine listen
0:01:04 carefully what is the consequence
0:01:07 according to them of rupturing a
0:01:12 contract yeah you can have anarchy but
0:01:16 usually the law has in place legal
0:01:19 consequences yes if the law hasn't quit
0:01:21 and place legal consequences which can
0:01:23 range from prison sentence to finding to
0:01:25 death in the case of treason the idea
0:01:28 that there should be a consequence
0:01:30 attached to a severing of a contract is
0:01:33 universally understood almost except
0:01:35 with anarchists and other people right I
0:01:38 imagine this imagine we as human beings
0:01:41 are severing a contract with the
0:01:48 ultimate source of protection wait a
0:01:51 minute stay that one more time I don't
0:01:54 know how you made that diversion and you
0:01:55 came back and what you're talking about
0:01:57 the ultimate source of protection we
0:02:00 believe is Allah he provides the
0:02:03 ultimate source of protection so isn't
0:02:08 it the same logic to suppose to
0:02:11 postulate to submit to say
0:02:13 if you break the contract that was
0:02:17 initially in place some it's up and that
0:02:21 you agreed upon and the prime model
0:02:23 sales if you sell that contract there
0:02:27 should be a consequence and it's within
0:02:32 the rights of the source of protection
0:02:37 to remove that protection from you
0:02:45 that's why the question that's usually
0:02:47 postulated in these discussions is if
0:02:51 God is so merciful then why does hell
0:02:55 exists why is he putting the people in
0:02:57 the Hellfire
0:02:59 what kind of merciful God is that he
0:03:01 putting their people in the Hellfire
0:03:02 what kind of Justice is that the
0:03:06 Hellfire is an ultimate manifestation of
0:03:12 the removal of a large protection from
0:03:17 humans see the whole time
0:03:20 the Hellfire is an ultimate
0:03:23 manifestation of the removal of a large
0:03:28 protection from human beings and since
0:03:34 we agree on the premise that's
0:03:40 consequentially justifiable to say that
0:03:46 protection should no longer be afforded
0:03:48 to those who serve Allah contracts then
0:03:52 what more contracts more problematic to
0:03:56 sever than the one who is providing for
0:03:58 you in all aspects and domains and
0:04:01 spheres of life the answer to that
0:04:05 question is the people that don't
0:04:10 understand the Hellfire and the
0:04:12 punishment therein are those same people
0:04:15 that don't understand the severity of
0:04:19 the contract and they have agreed to and
0:04:22 that they were reminded off
0:04:26 in this world so you see it all makes
0:04:33 sense now
0:04:34 but someone may argue someone may argue
0:04:38 and say but hold on no problem I
0:04:41 understand this concept I understand yes
0:04:46 that if you sever the contract there
0:04:49 should be consequences
0:04:51 yeah if you sever the contract there
0:04:54 should be consequences from this
0:04:56 perspective God is within his rights to
0:04:59 give you those consequences
0:05:03 so what then about proportionality for
0:05:08 instance if someone was a Kaffir for
0:05:11 this believer someone who severed the
0:05:13 contract because ways it is believer at
0:05:16 this believer if someone kasev literally
0:05:21 means kuffara from the farmer the farmer
0:05:25 because he's literally covering the
0:05:28 truth like the seeds you coat it with
0:05:32 soil and the truth you're covering it
0:05:35 with falsehood and that is the ultimate
0:05:37 manifestation of the severing of the
0:05:40 contract well the question of
0:05:43 proportionality will come into play
0:05:44 because they'll say ok if they were
0:05:46 disbelievers for three years or five
0:05:49 years or ten years or twenty years then
0:05:52 why should they be in the Hellfire
0:05:53 forever
0:05:54 and this is a lack of proportionality
0:05:59 yes this is a lack of proportionality
0:06:02 well we say to that who told you that
0:06:09 times did all be treated equally and
0:06:12 sins should be connected to time
0:06:15 inextricably let me give an example and
0:06:17 this brother of mine codable andalusi we
0:06:22 were discussing this he was giving me
0:06:23 these pointers was a really good example
0:06:25 he gave I like to give him credit for
0:06:28 that he said for example if someone
0:06:31 takes out a knife and he stabs someone
0:06:35 goes straight for the jugular and kills
0:06:38 the person in three
0:06:39 seconds yes if someone does that in
0:06:43 three seconds should they be punished
0:06:47 for three seconds on this logic they
0:06:52 should be why not three seconds the only
0:06:56 were transgressing for three seconds so
0:06:58 go into prison for three seconds or do
0:07:01 this we'll go to the Hellfire for three
0:07:02 seconds no clearly there's a problem
0:07:04 with equating time here so the idea is
0:07:09 or the association of partners with
0:07:14 Allah is valued so epistemic Lehi and
0:07:19 the ranking of crimes because is the
0:07:23 ultimate it is the ultimate rupturing of
0:07:28 the most important contracts by even
0:07:31 doing it for one second even believing
0:07:35 in that and doing it for one second it's
0:07:38 conceivable for one second two seconds
0:07:41 five seconds and you die upon it and
0:07:44 although your last five seconds that you
0:07:46 will be in eternal punishment in the
0:07:49 Hellfire and that is logically
0:07:51 rationally justifiable on both
0:07:55 worldviews because to understand Allah
0:08:03 and for hate we must understand shift
0:08:08 and how dark and horrible and evil and
0:08:14 grotesque and disgusting this crime is
0:08:22 out there someone redirects their
0:08:30 veneration
0:08:31 they love their or their hope their
0:08:38 faith
0:08:40 from the one who is offering all sorts
0:08:44 of health and also says a protection
0:08:46 from fear who is a loss of a Noah to
0:08:49 Allah this is the most problematic and
0:08:54 egregious and the most vile of crimes
0:08:59 any human being could do well success
0:09:02 was the murder was the rape there's
0:09:06 nothing worse than that
0:09:08 why is murder on because it's an
0:09:12 ultimate violation of someone's right to
0:09:16 life why is rape run because it's an
0:09:22 ultimate violation of a man or a woman's
0:09:26 right to dignity and to decision-making
0:09:29 in sexual intercourse so why is
0:09:36 wrong because it's an ultimate
0:09:39 redirection it's an ultimate redirection
0:09:46 of all of the attitudes the beliefs and
0:09:51 the actions that should be positions to
0:09:58 the one who allows them to be positioned
0:10:00 to anything in the first place to other
0:10:03 than him it's the worst kind of
0:10:07 oppression shirk is the worst kind of
0:10:11 oppression
