The name of God thread.

[Angrboda]

The hadiths of Ahlulbayt (as) emphasize that the name of God is hidden in many ways despite it being what gives light to all things.  While those who guard believe in that which has been hidden, which other verses show is the sign and proof, which is the reminder and name of God, which is the leader and guide.

There is legitimate question, if it's a book of guidance, why aren't all humans following it. So after briefly mentioning some traits of the guided people, it goes on to mention, traits of those who vehemently oppose guidance and disbelieve in proofs after it's been shown to them.

The question if Mohammad or the Guides after him are at all to be blamed for the misguidance, it says, "as for those who disbelieve,  whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe."

They are in state where as God "put on their hearts a seal, and on their hearing, and for them is a great punishment."

In these verses alone, it can be interpreted there is no hope for a disbeliever after has disbelieved, but other verses in Quran show, that God will forgive disbelievers if they cease their opposition and accept the proofs of God and follow his guidance.

This is saying however, warning them doesn't avail them anymore, it's a decision they have to make for themselves.  Warning them about dangers or their fate won't change their minds.

So, in other words, you believe that the book is true and skeptics are wrong because you believe the book is true.

Well, I can't argue with that!
