Question:What is the difference between justice and intercession, and is there a connection between them? Does intercession contradict divine justice?
Answer:In the name of Allah, intercession is when someone who has the right of intercession requests from Allah, the Exalted, to pardon the sins of certain believers. Divine justice, on the other hand, means not holding anyone accountable for what they do not deserve. Allah is the Guide.
Question:It is known that Allah Almighty is just, and believing in this is a necessity. However, we have some inquiries that we hope to clarify about this issue, which is that some people are born in a religiously committed environment, so that they have a big opportunity to be religiously committed and others are born in a corrupt environment, so the opportunity of their commitment is less, either due to the lack of religious awareness or because of the strong influence of the corruption on them. our questions are as follows: 1-Does Allah hold the two groups to account with the same scale? Is this considered just? 2-In case Allah uses different scales for the two groups, kindly explain this difference. 3-Does Allah Almighty give another opportunity to the second group after death to compensate the opportunity difference which is granted to the first group?
Answer:In the name of Allah, 1-Allah holds everyone account on the basis of his ability for the commitment to obedience and disobedience. It is not fair to use the same scale for both groups. Allah knows best. 2-This difference is caused because of the difference in the environment, lineage and parents. Allah afflicts His worshippers with special afflictions and He rewards them on that as per their circumstances and environment. Allah knows best. 3-It is narrated that man is given another opportunity on the Judgment Day to choose the between good or bad according to his own will if Islam does not reach him or he was not able to recognize Islam or other reasons in the worldly life. Allah knows best.
Question:It is said that Islam did not force humans to choose it. So, why did it declare war on disbelievers? Was choosing Islam the result of war?
Answer:In the name of Allah, be informed my son that Allah (SWT) says “There is to compulsion in religion”. This means religion is heart belief; a thing which cannot be acquired but by satisfaction and no one can force another to believe in something in his heart. Yet, the outer deeds is the only thing can be forced to someone such as speaking, acting and the like. So, this is the answer regarding what you heard. Islam does not order us to apply sharia to the whole mankind because Allah has created them and put a law like any other manmade laws. Each country has a law which, when legislated, has to be followed by everybody. It is the same case; Allah has created people and put a law for them. this law is the best one and the most truthful one as it is from One who Created man and He know everything and that is why this law has to be applied under the authority of Allah (SWT). Allah knows best and He is the All-Guide
Question:I a punishment is inflicted on a country or village, it will include everybody whether believer of atheist even if there is a nation that enjoins good and forbids evil, as we now see the random killing and bombings that cause the disbelievers and believer to die. Is all of this part of Allah’s justice?
Answer:In the name of Allah, my son, be informed that the affliction sometimes overgeneralizes on both the believer and the disbeliever if it is to come because of the disobedients’ actions. However, for the believer, what he suffers is to raise his level in heaven by forgiving his sins (if he is not infallible), but if he is a wicked person, he deserves that and he experiences the consequences of his sins. If the wicked person does not deserve this, then this torture is to reduce the one which he will get in the Judgment Day. Consequently, the heavenly justice is not doubtful and not questionable either. Allah knows best and He is the All-Guide.
Question:Imam Ali (PBUH) says ((I swear to Allah that what I am most concerned about you is in Barzakh)). Is there intercession in Barzakh (Interstice) or not?
Answer:In the name of Allah, yes there are narrations which prove that there is intercession for some people in Al-Barzakh, but not for all. Allah knows best.
Question:Why did Allah create angels to write our deeds, one on the left side and another on the right, and He does not need them as he is the All-Hearer and All-Knower in everything.
Answer:In the name of Allah, my son, be advised that Allah surely wanted the issues to be on a system. He created all the angels to fulfill the system in which humans are tempted to have virtues and leave sins. There are many other rationales, one of which is that all of us know that Allah knows what we don whether privately of publicly and he is able to do anything, but we are trying to hide ourselves when behaving badly and Allah has made the angels as witnesses on our deeds.
Question:What is the ruling of someone who does not believe in the following principles: 1.To think that justice is an attribute to Allah, but not a principle. 2.Resurrection is one of the principles
Answer:/ In the name of Allah, believing that Allah is just and does not oppress is one of the sect principles. Anyone who does not believe in this is not Shiite and not a follower of Ahlulbait (as) even if he is a Muslim, monotheist and believing in prophethood and resurrection. Allah is the All-Guide.
