~~Guidance is for those who WANT to be GUIDED~~

 بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 Say: O disbelievers! I worship not that which ye worship; Nor worship ye that which I worship. And I shall not worship that which ye worship. Nor will ye worship that which I worship. Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion 

The last verse of the above surah al Kafiroon has always intrigued  me a bit. It seems that as a last resort when the disbelievers became so staunch in their own corrupt beliefs, God just said Ok fine, tell them to stick with there own religion if that’s what they want.  This seems to be the tone of the Holy Quran at a few more places where God just says that let the misguided remain misguided, no help shall ever reach them.   It made me wonder what would have made God adopt this tone? And then I experienced the reason myself. There are people in this world who are so biased towards their own beliefs that their concepts don’t budge even when they are confronted with the open truth. No matter how much you try to convince them out of their ways, they go on becoming stronger in their own beliefs. It hurts! It hurts when you care about someone and teach him/her the virtue and in return get a blatant refusal without any logic or reason. God loves His creation, God loves His Prophet (Saw) and the Prophet loves his ummah. How much our misguided acts and above all OUR REFUSAL TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH hurts God and our Prophet? Maybe this was the reason that God had to adopt the tone. A few more examples: As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom. [2:6-7] 

Is it ever so, that, when there cometh unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not, ye grow arrogant, and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay? And they say: Our hearts are hardened. Nay, but Allah hath cursed them for their unbelief. Little is that which they believe. [2:87-88] 

Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He bringeth them out of darkness into light. As for those who disbelieve, their patrons are false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness. Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein. [2:57]

The purpose of discussing it in my first post: I plan to share verses from the Quran which have inspired me to judge my right from my wrong. I merely need to show that these inspiration shall only be for those who WANT to be inspired. For those who JUST DO NOT want to accept the truth, the posts shall certainly not benefit. If any of my posts under the topic doesn’t make one think…well then one should judge for himself! Verses from Surah Yaseen that made me cry when I first read themAlready hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not. Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff-necked. And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not. Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not. Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward.
