Most people will not accept the truth

[ZeeshanParvez]

And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away - then know that Allah only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient.


[Qur'aan 5:49]



"And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient"



Most people are rebellious, disobedient, and submerged in disbelief.



They oppose the truth and turn away from it.



They are outside the boundaries of Islamic legislation, Religion, and intellect.



And in this is consolation for the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) for their refusal to accept the truth which he brought.

The verse quoted accurately describes the environment during the time of Mohammed. Many did not follow what had been revealed to them, but followed their inclinations or traditions. When traditions diverge from what God has revealed, then it is better to investigate the tradition.

Best regards.

I feel a kindred spirit in you. History? anthropology? myth and lore? I get the feeling you also find all these things to be of personal interest :) if so, I am pleased to find another on this forum who I can bounce with, God willing.

Welcome to IB forum btw, Walter,

Yes it does describe the environment of that time but it also describes the environment of the current times too. Same words, repeating the same message, unchanged, with practice still true to what's taught, still the world resists...

It's better to investigate the Quran as it claims to be uncorrupted rather than to investigate tradition.

The problem doesn't only lies there, the real problem is this :
Many people think they have the ultimate truth!
By having this kind of mentality, they want to control the life of people and they feel joyful by doing it.

[Asiyah3]

Knowing that the hearts are in Allah's control and assuming the best of others it is upon us to deliver the truth, patiently calling them without ever losing hope. They held it impossible that Umar ibn al-Khattab would become a Muslim and see who he turned to be (ra).
