The Creator's Mercy

If Allah loves His slaves according to Islam, why does He not permit them to adopt the individualism methodology? [304] Individualism considers the individual's interests a fundamental issue that must be achieved before the interests of the state and the communities, while they oppose any external interference in one's own interests by society or institutions such as the government.

There are many verses in the Qur’an that refer to Allah's mercy and His love for His slaves. However, the love of Allah Almighty for His slave is different from the slaves' love for one another. This is because according to human standards, love is a need that the lover finds with the loved one. Whereas, Allah Almighty does not need us; rather, His love for us is that of favor and mercy. It is love of the Strong for the weak, love of the Self-Sufficient for the needy, love of the Able for the helpless, and love of the Great for the insignificant, a love that is based on wisdom.

Do we allow our children to do whatever they like on the pretext of loving them? Do we allow our little children to throw themselves from the window or play with exposed electric wires on the pretext of loving them?

It is impossible to allow one to make decisions based on his personal interest and pleasure, or to make him the main focus of attention and to give precedence to his personal interests over that of the state and the influence of society and religion; giving him permission to change his sex and do whatever he wishes and act and dress the way he likes in public on the pretext that the street belongs to all.

If one lives with a group of people in the same shared house, could he accept the idea that any of his housemates does something loathsome, such as answering the call of nature in the living room, arguing that the house belongs to all of them? Could he accept to live in such a house without rules or standards regulating it? Absolute freedom turns man into an ugly creature, and it has been undoubtedly proven that he is incapable of handling such freedom.

Individualism can not be an alternative entity to the collective entity, regardless of the individual's power or authority. Members of the society are of various classes that complement one another and cannot dispense with one another. Some of them being soldiers, doctors, nurses, and judges. How could any of them give precedence to his personal interest over that of others to achieve his own happiness and be the main focus of attention?!

By giving full rein to one's instincts, one becomes a slave to such instincts; however, Allah wants him to be the master of his own instincts. Allah wants man to be rational and wise and to know how to control his instincts without suppressing them; rather, directing them to promote his soul and elevate his self.

When a father obliges his children to allocate some time for study, despite their desire to only play, to obtain an academic degree in the future, is he considered a cruel father on account of this?

If the Creator is merciful to His slaves, then why does He not accept the tendencies of someone who is homosexual?

Allah Almighty said:

{And [We sent] Lot, when he said to his people, “Do you commit such a shameful act that nobody has ever done before you? For you approach men lustfully instead of women; you are but a transgressing people.” The only reply his people gave was to say, “Drive them out of your town, for they are people who keep themselves pure!”} [305] Surat al-A‘rāf: 80-82.

This verse confirms the fact that homosexuality is not genetic and has nothing to do with the human genetic code because the people of Lūt were the first to practice this type of immorality. This corresponds with the most extensive scientific study affirming that homosexuality has nothing to do with genes. [306] "Mawsū‘at al-Kahīl lil-I‘jāz fil-Qur’ān wa as-Sunnah" https://kaheel7.net/?p=15851

Should we accept the thief's tendency to stealing? It is a tendency as well but in both cases they are abnormal tendencies, and is transgression against the human natural disposition and against nature that must be redressed.

Allah created man and guided him to the right path and gave him a free will to choose either the path of goodness or the path of evildoing.

Allah Almighty said:

{And We have shown him the two ways [of right and wrong]?} [307] Surat al-Balad: 10.

Hence, communities that forbid homosexuality rarely suffer from such sexual perversion, whereas communities that allow and encourage such an attitude contain a high rate of homosexuals. This indicates the fact that the environment and the surrounding doctrines are what determine man's probable tendency to homosexuality.

Man's entity changes every moment based on the satellite channels he watches, his use of technology, or his fanaticism in favor of a football team for instance. In fact, globalization has turned him into a complicated human being. The traitor is deemed as someone with a viewpoint, the gay is deemed as someone with a normal attitude and has attained legal competency to participate in public discussions; rather, we are required to support him and reconcile with him. Dominance now belongs to whoever possesses technology. So, if the gay is the one who owns the means of power, he will impose his convictions on others, the thing that would lead man to ruin his relationship with his own self, his society, and his Creator. Since individualism is directly related to sexual perversion, therefore, the human natural disposition, to which humanity belongs, has vanished and the one-family concept has collapsed. This is why the West has started to offer solutions to get rid of individualism because proceeding with this concept will lead to losing the gains that were achieved by modern man just as the family concept was lost. Consequently, the West has been suffering until today from the decreasing number of the society members, the thing that has led them to open their doors in an endeavor to attract immigrants. So, believing in Allah and respecting the laws of the universe that He has created for us along with adhering to His commands and avoiding His prohibitions are the only way to attain happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.
