Why did god create mankind? (part 4 of four)

 Contradicting the purpose of Advent

The Gravest sin

To contradict the reason of 1’s advent is then the greatest evil that a man or women can dedicate.  Abdullaah mentioned that he requested god’s messenger (peace be upon him) which sin is the gravest in god’s sight and he replied,

“to ascribe a accomplice to god, despite the fact that he created you.” (saheeh al-bukhari)

Worshipping others besides god, known as shirk in arabic, is the most effective unforgivable sin.  If a man or women dies with out repenting from his or her sins, god may additionally forgive all their sins, besides shirk.  On this regard, god stated:

“honestly god will not forgive the worship of others except him, however he forgives sins less than that to whomever he desires.” (quran 4:116)

Worshipping others besides god basically entails giving the attributes of the creator to his introduction.  Every sect or religion does this in their own specific way.  A small but very vocal institution of humans down via the a while have certainly denied god’s existence.  To justify their rejection of the creator, they had been obliged to make the illogical declare that this world has no starting.  Their claim is illogical due to the fact all the observable components of the sector have beginnings in time, consequently it's far most effective reasonable to count on the sum of the elements to even have a beginning.  It is also only logical to expect that anything precipitated the arena to come back into existence could not were part of the arena nor ought to it have a starting just like the global.  The atheist assertion that the world has no beginning way that the problem which makes up the universe is eternal.  This is a declaration of shirk, wherein god’s characteristic of being without starting is given to his advent.  The numbers of actual atheists have historically continually been quite small because, no matter their claims, they instinctively recognize that god does exist.  That is, in spite of a long time of communist indoctrination, the general public of russians and chinese language continued to agree with in god.  The almighty writer talked about this phenomenon, saying:

“and they denied [the signs] wrongfully and arrogantly, although inside themselves they had been satisfied of them.” (quran 27:14)

To atheists and materialists, life has no cause beyond the success in their goals.  Consequently, their desires additionally emerge as the god which they obey and submit to as opposed to the one real god.  In the quran, god stated:

“have you ever visible the one who takes his desires as his god?” (quran 25:forty three, 45:23)

Christians gave prophet jesus christ the attributes of the author through first making him co-eternal with god, then by way of making him a character of god whom they titled ‘god the son.’  hindus, however, accept as true with that god has become guy in many a long time, via incarnations called avatars, after which they divided god’s attributes between 3 gods, brahma the writer, vishnu the preserver and shiva the destroyer.

Love of god

Shirk additionally happens while people love, agree with or fear the advent more than god.  Within the last revelation, god said:

“there are amongst guys folks that worship others except god as equals to him.  They love them as best god need to be loved.  But individuals who believe have a stronger love for god.” (quran 2:a hundred sixty five)

When these and different similar feelings are directed greater strongly to the introduction, they motive people to disobey god in a attempt to thrill different human beings.  But, only god deserves a complete human emotional dedication, for it's far he by myself who ought to be cherished and feared over all creation.  Anas ibn maalik narrated that the prophet (peace be upon him) said:

“whoever possesses [the following] three traits has tasted the sweetness of religion: he who loves god and his messenger notably else; he who loves some other individual for god’s sake by myself; and he who hates to return to disbelief after god has rescued him as he hates to be thrown right into a hearth.” (as-suyooti)

All of the motives for which people love different humans or love other created beings are reasons to like god extra than his advent.  Human beings love life and success, and dislike loss of life and failure.  Since god is the last supply of lifestyles and achievement, he deserves the whole love and devotion of mankind.  Humans additionally love individuals who gain them and assist them whilst they may be in want.  In view that all advantage (7:188) and assist (three:126) come from god, he should be cherished in particular else.

“if you try to be counted god’s benefits, you may now not be capable of upload them up.” (quran 16:18)

However, the ultimate love which human beings ought to sense for god need to no longer be reduced to the common denominator of their emotional love for creation.  Just as the love human beings experience for animals must now not be the same as what they sense for other people, the love of god ought to transcend the love people experience in the direction of every other.

This isn't an abstract concept, due to the fact human love of different human beings also implies obedience.  This is, if a cherished one requests that something be executed, humans will strive to do it according to the level of their love for that character.

The love of god ought to additionally be expressed in the love of those whom god loves.  It is unbelievable that one that loves god could hate those whom god loves and love the ones whom he hates.
