[quote][quote]This is a hypothetical question and we are assuming that suicide bomber thought his action was correct. After all none of us has perfect knowledge and we can never even achieve perfect knowledge.

Let me ask same question from a different perspective. When a judge declares verdict in court to settle a dispute between two parties, if his verdict is correct he will be rewarded. However, if he has reached a wrong verdict, with good intention though, will he be punished?

I believe he will still be rewarded because his intention was good. Similarly, if a suicide bomber blows himself up, killing innocent people in the process, he will still be rewarded despite his horrific act because his intention was right. We are making an assumption here that both judge and suicide bomber have taken respective actions after thorough research and they are convinced their actions are correct. God has promised us that he will not hold us responsible for something we do not know. &quot;Allah does not lay a responsibility on anyone beyond his capacity&quot;. Quran (2:286)

OK 
[quote]and we are assuming that suicide bomber thought his action was correct.[/quote] 
This is also true for all crimes, the guilty always thought what he/she is going to do is correct. Only either courts or the conscious of the guilty make him realize that the act done was wrong. Unfortunately, in your case the guilty has no chance to realize his mistake in this world. [quote]After all none of us has perfect knowledge and we can never even achieve perfect knowledge[/quote] You don’t need to have a' perfect knowledge' to know that killing of innocents is wrong. Moreover, doing something without 'proper' knowledge is bad. [quote]Let me ask same question from a different perspective.

You are killing someone with love and he has no right to know why he is being killed and you suppose he is not going to go against you as a witness in the court if he is allowed to do so after death.

[/quote] Which human or divine law you are talking about ,which has a provision of 'reward' rather than 'punishment' for the guilty of unintentional murder or murder with a good intention .Any example? [quote] We are making an assumption here that both judge and suicide bomber have taken respective actions after thorough research and they are convinced their actions are correct. [/quote] Do you think the judge will expect or accept this arguement from accuse '' me lord,I killed innocents just to please you''. This comment is certainly reflecting the ''good intention'' you are going to prove him right. What would you expect from a judge who is being 'accused' by the accuse in the court by saying so. Will he be happy? [quote]God has promised us that he will not hold us responsible for something we do not know. &quot;Allah does not lay a responsibility on anyone beyond his capacity&quot;. Quran (2:286) [/quote] Thanks for your interest in quran and posting this ayah. This is the exact answer god might give to the bomber i.e why did you do such a thing which was beyond your capacity?[/size=2][/quote]
