[quote]Salam, Point-I, - “But it never says that Allah will not accept late prayers, does it? So if a believer does late prayers and he/she has good intentions, so I pray that Allah may accept their late prayers”. Answer:- Almighty God says that Salat should be offered at SPECIFIC TIME. So the concept of Late Prayer (Kaza Namaj) is non-quranic. My belief is that Almighty Allah will not accept any non-quranic concept/idea regarding religion from any one. Almighty God says in His quran that “THE SALAT ARE DECREED FOR THE BELIEVERS AT SPECIFIC TIMES”(4:103). So no question will arise for LATE PRAYER because it is DECREED by Almighty God that we must offer our salat at its SPECIFIC TIME. We cannot make any religious rule/laws. We cannot say that praying late prayer is Islamic, because our only religious source/law is the Quran and IT says that we should offer our salat at its specific time. When God says that salat should be offered at specific time then it will illogical to think that we can offer it outside its mentioned time!! Almighty Allah can not accept any religious idea which is derived from another source besides the only source i.e. Quran for ours. He says in the Quran that we should not accept any other source as source of law(religious) beside Quran. Point – II, You said that “Allah grants prayers and requests from everyone. That is what His attribute of Rahman means”. Could you please give me any reference from Quran that Almighty Allah responds or grants prayers of disbelievers? You also said “If a bad person asks God that he wants to steal a diamond or kill someone's father, then Allah may accept his prayer and help him get his way. If someone wishes you harm, then Allah may accept their prayer and hurt you - in Urdu we call it 'nazr lug jana'”. Is it your own thinking? Quran does not support your thinking brother. If yes, then could you please give me any reference from the Quran in support of your belief? Also brother you could not yet to comment on my previous points, which were as follows; “How is the misguiding by Satan different from the misguiding of Allah then”? “If Allah can misguide a girl to fornicate as in this case , how is that different from Satan”? Now please look my belief as follows; "Say, ‘The Truth is from your Lord’: Let him who will, believe; and let him who will, reject…" (18:29, Yusuf Ali) Now if Allah gives the freedom to accept or reject His guidance as is absolutely clear from the above verse, how can He also say that whomever He guides no one can misguide and whomever He misguides no one can guide? Clearly, these are two contradictory statements and Allah is beyond contradiction (4:82). There is nothing in the Quran which will lead to doubt (2:2, 32:2). Does Allah personally misguide anyone? Most Muslims have one scapegoat which they always use when they are faced with such situations. They say, "Allah can do anything. He has unlimited power and control over everything and everyone." If that is the case, then why did Allah send His Book of guidance to us? Why did He send all His messengers? Why did our Prophet (S) face so many enemies in daily life as well as in the battlefields? Why did he (S) and the sahaba (R) suffer so much throughout their lives, for the sake of Allah? Allah has all the powers and he can do anything! He could have directly punished all the enemies of the Prophet (S)- but He didn’t. Instead, He ordered them to fight the enemies of Islam; to go to battlefields; and give their lives if need be- so much so, that they were warned that those who would try to run away from the battlefield will go directly to Hell (8:16). Secondly, if Allah does anything (e.g. send anyone to Hell or Heaven as he pleases, give wealth or poverty to anyone, dignity or poverty to anyone, etc.), then why do human beings have to be held accountable for their deeds. It doesn’t seem fair and just or even logical to send someone to Hell if Allah misguided him or her. So is it not our duty to pause and seriously reflect on these extremely important questions impacting our lives—here as well as in the hereafter? "Does Allah Misguide Anyone," can be cast as "Does the Quran Misguide Anyone?" This is because Allah has said whatever he had to say to humanity in its finality, totality, and completeness is in the Quran (6:115, 6:38, 10:37, 5:48). There will not come any other book from Allah, nor any other prophet from Allah after our last prophet (S) as declared by Allah in the Quran (33:40). Therefore, our relationship to Allah is only through His book, the Quran and nothing else. Allah tells us the Quran was sent to guide and give glad tidings to the momineen (2:97). Those who will follow the Quran will benefit from it; those who will not, will suffer the consequences (10:108). Those who will follow it will be guided, and no one can misguide them, and those who will not follow it, will be misguided, and no one can guide them. It is our choice whether or not to follow the Quran and after our choice is made, we get what we deserve. It is our choice which data to enter into the computer, and based on that, we get the right or wrong answer (guidance or misguidance). We cannot say the manufacturer magically chooses who will get right and who will get wrong answers. This is up to the person, and how he or she uses the computer. In the same way, Allah does not magically choose who will be guided or misguided, rather it is up to the person to choose the Quran as his guidance. If he chooses the Quran, he will be guided. If he chooses anything else, he will be misguided and no one can guide him. Thus; "Whoever follows the Quran will be guided by Allah, and no one can misguide, and whoever does not follow the Quran, will not be guided by Allah, and no one can guide." Allah does not directly do things for us; we have to do ourselves and follow his laws. Allah does not change our condition until we change our selves (i.e., change our psychology, mental attitudes and behavior) (13:11). This is my understanding. Minara[/quote]
