Has Allah made a righteous judgment that the world should be destroyed because of sin?

Has everyone born deserved distruction?

So when Allah judges man does he righteously condemn us all or will Allah overlook his own righteous judgment and spare Muslims?

Update:

Ankaboot, Have you not read your Quran?

Q.16:61. If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour).

Q.35:45. If Allah were to punish men according to what they deserve. He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: when their Term expires, verily Allah has in His sight all His Servants.

Update 2:

If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature.. this means ALL creatures doesn't it?

Update 3:

So my friend these ayats are not in your Arabic Quran? I believe they are.

Update 4:

Ankaboot, is it unloving for me to ask this question? The Quran says this, I quote the Quran and ask you, a Muslim concerning your holy book and rather than answer you take it as an insult that I quote your Allah.

Update 5:

Ankaboot, I quote two separate ayats from two separate surahs. It seems rather clear. If I am misquoting the Quran please share with me how this could be.

Update 6:

Heartbreak, These ayats say that all of us deserve destruction. There surely will be a day of judgment according to the Quran.. I am asking... will Allah then destroy us all if he has already judged that this is what we deserve? If not then was this judgement incorrect?

Update 7:

Muhammad, you accuse me of hate because I quote Allah and ask a question? Why is this question offending you? Allah says all of us deserve destruction, it is in your Quran, if this is true then what is the answer? Is this correct and if so does that not mean that Allah will do as he says is good? If this is not correct... then is there a problem with the Quran.

Update 8:

M Javed Iqbal, May I suggest to you the teachings of the true Jesus Christ?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

Update 9:

Muhammad, your Allah has purposely mislead me to burn me in his fiery hell, and for asking a fair question concerning his word? I thank God that he is not the true God of Abraham who answers our questions and provides the answer through his own flesh and blood. God is love my friend he is not hateful and it is his desire that we should not perish but have everlasting life.

Update 10:

VisibleNinjaInvisibleSignPost

Amen my brother, God has provided the answer.

Update 11:

Life Guru, If all men are worthy of destruction and that is the judgment of a righteous God.. what then is the answer? The Good News, is that though all men have sinned, God has provided the answer to sin in death, through his own flesh and blood. Jesus has indeed overcome temptation, sin and death as a man under the law that through his righteousness, atonement and resurrection we can be made new and joined to God which is eternal life.

Update 12:

Muhammad, Have I misquoted your Allah? He says ALL men deserve destruction..ALL.

Now either your Allah gives us according to what he says we deserve or your Allah goes against his own righteous judgment. Where are you seeing a loophole?

Update 13:

When Allah says ALL men deserve distruction, are you seeing yourself as an exception? There are some people that are not included in this ayat? If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature.. this means ALL creatures doesn't it?

Update 14:

Muhammad, I completely understand, there is a respite before the judgment and then the judgment.

Now this ayat says all living deserve destruction.. no doubt that is what Allah sees as a righteous judgment... so when this day of judgment comes.. I would think it is either your destruction.. or Allah goes against what he says is righteous. Either this ayat is true or it is wrong. It can't be both a righteous judgment and wrong.. you can't have it both true and not true.

Update 15:

Muhammad please finish the ayat, if Allah were to punish (All the men who are wrong doers,)

Then there would not be left on the earth a living creature?

Update 16:

Muhammad, while I have yet to find a single English translation that uses the word SUCH here..

It does not change the meaning.. the subject here is MAN and if he does not leave on the earth SUCH as a single creature.. the subject is man.. and SUCH a creature is also man. So you still have no MAN left on the earth, note your translation does not change this. The added (to wrong doers) is not the actual words of Allah and actually makes no sense in English. The wrong doers is simply describing MEN

Q.16:61. If Allah were to punish MEN for their wrong-doing. He would not leave, on the (earth), SUCH a single living creature. SUCH here would not describe the wrong doers which is not even written.. but describes the word MEN. Which we agree from the context are wrong doers.

You still end up with the same meaning.. If Allah were to punish man for their wrong doing.. (SIN)

There would be any left on the earth.

Update 17:

Muhammad, I'm sure you are not intentionaly twisting this to fit your mindset.. the fact is you are not able to accept it as it is written because it disagrees with your religion.

Update 18:

Your translation is not different from the English, the word SUCH does not change the meaning.

    The Bible is the true and inspired words of God Jesus is the only way to heaven. But if you choose to believe that the Bible is God's Word then I can show you the verses that prove that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Heaven is where God the Father is. Here are some verses stating that Christ is the only way to heaven:

    John 14:6 [Jesus speaking] "I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man cometh unto the father, but by me".

    Acts 4:12 [Peter telling the crowd about Jesus] "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

    1 John 2:23 "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."

    Romans 5:21 "That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."

    1 John 5:11 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."

    John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. {18} He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

    Jesus is the only way to go into the presence of God. God is sinless and cannot allow sin in His presence because it would stain Him. For example, if you have twelve eggs that are fresh, you have a perfectly fresh dozen eggs. But if you take one out and put in a rotten egg, then you no longer have a perfectly fresh dozen eggs. You have twelve eggs but the dozen is polluted. It is the same with God. He is perfect. If anyone who is not perfect comes into His presence, His perfection is sullied. He cannot and will not allow that to happen.

    The Bible tells us that the payment we must make for sin is death. If we sin we must die to pay for that sin. There is no work we can do on this earth to make up for our sins. We are doomed. Like the verse above says, we are already condemned.

    The Bible says, in Hebrews 9:22, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." In other words, only the death and spilling of the blood of a substitute victim will allow our sins to be forgiven. In the Old Testament they killed bulls and goats and the blood shed by the animals gave temporary forgiveness and the sacrifices had to be made over and over. But Jesus, the perfect, sinless Son of God gave his life and shed His blood for the remission of sins. He became our substitute victim. If we believe that He did that we are forgiven by the blood He shed. Jesus died on the cross, shedding His own blood for the world. But unlike the bulls and goats, Jesus died and God raised Him from the dead. He is alive today, now, this very second. His blood no longer needs to be shed. He died and shed His blood once for all and His blood never needs to be spilled again like the blood of the bulls and goats.

    No one else has shed His blood for us, not Mohammed, not Buddha, not anyone. And not one of the founders of any religion is alive today. Only Christ, who founded Christianity, is alive today. He is the only one to shed His blood for all and then be raised from the death. He is the only way to get to heaven. There is no other. The Bible says so. If you have chosen to believe the Bible, it is the Bible that tells us Jesus is the only way.

  • 9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:

    “There is no one righteous, not even one;

    11 there is no one who understands;

    there is no one who seeks God.

    12 All have turned away,

    they have together become worthless;

    there is no one who does good,

    not even one.”[b]

    13 “Their throats are open graves;

    their tongues practice deceit.”[c]

    “The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d]

    14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e]

    15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;

    16 ruin and misery mark their ways,

    17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f]

    18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g]

    19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

    Righteousness Through Faith

    21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[i] through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

    27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

    [b] Romans 3:12 Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Eccles. 7:20

    [c] Romans 3:13 Psalm 5:9

    [d] Romans 3:13 Psalm 140:3

    [e] Romans 3:14 Psalm 10:7 (see Septuagint)

    [f] Romans 3:17 Isaiah 59:7,8

    [g] Romans 3:18 Psalm 36:1

    [h] Romans 3:22 Or through the faithfulness of

    [i] Romans 3:25 The Greek for sacrifice of atonement refers to the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant (see Lev. 16:15,16).

    Allah has sent 124,000 prophets to warn people and has given them

    a lease of life of 70~100 years. He does not punish them during their

    life time, generally. People commit sins and make mistakes, but are

    given time to repent and correct themselves till they are alive.

    Towards the end of time, God Almighty will send Christ son of Mary

    to enable them to believe in One and the Only God and follow His

    covenant. Those people who follow Christ will earn salvation and will

    be sent to paradise. So God Almighty is Kind, Caring & Loving, no

    matter what you say.

    you came again with the same question and at the end nothing. as you have already made your mind and hate is filled in your heart against ISLAM.

    Edit

    Muslims are not obliged to admonish to people like you, who have already made their mind and Allah swt. Has blocked their minds.

    36:8. We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).

    36:9. And We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further, We have covered them up; so that they cannot see.

    36:10. The same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe.

    Edit2

    Christians always fail to differentiate Love from justice, When sin is deliberately committed and one feel proud of it, it turns to a crime, sin is forgivable but a crime is not.

    Allah swt. is All Kind and All-Merciful for sinners but All-Just for criminals.

    Edit 3

    try to learn different between law of contradiction and law of dualism

    difference between survival and sustainability

    Allah swt. is the Sustainer of all the worlds and responsible of its maintenance, growth and continuity, there is a specific time for punishment, when it is best time as per wisdom and sustainable Approach of All Mighty HE will not leave any injustice unpunished ultimately..

    Edit 4

    Check the right meaning as per Arabic, it is All Criminals, not all men. Those who are not wrong doers, are exempted and will be sent to Paradise.

    edit 5

    [If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing] ,

    means

    if Allah were to punish All the men who are wrong doers, on their wrong (if any)...

    Edit 6

    In Arabic Alaehaa is used that means, from/on those or such, if you add the word SUCH the meaning is right. (maa taraka alaehaa min daa'ba'tan)..

    Q.16:61. If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), SUCH a single living creature: but He gives them (to wrong doers) respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour).

    [SUCH a single living creature or any single creature among those]

    POINT TO BE NOTED

    in start of the verse Allah used the word Men as a group of all kinds of people, and after differentiating the wrong doers from men, Allah did not call them men, but creatures, means wrong doers are looking like men but they are identity free living creatures, not eqvilant to men.

    Edit

    translation must be read with Arabic, take my translation as I know Arabic I'm living in Saudia for last 12 years, ask a person who who knows Arabic well, that my translation is going in minute clerifications which other translators neglect, is right??

    "...And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers."

    however , Allah is not going to punish all people , he saves the people who do righteousness , and punishes those who have done evil.

    In order for Allah to Judge anyone, righteous or not, He would have to exist. He is a fantasy at best or a demon at worst.
