Jihad Against Terrorism
Assalamualaikum.
If you knew there was snake in a hole, would you ever put your hand into that hole? Never, right? If you were 100% certain that a poisonous snake resided in that hole and it would strike the moment you put your hand in there, would you ever put your hand into the hole. If all the people in the world came together and told you and tried to convince you to put your hand into the hole you would not have done it.
If you were only 10% certain you probably would have done it. If you were 50% certain it would take more convincing but eventually you would have succumbed. If you were 90% certain it would really take something extraordinary for you to do it. But if you were 100% certain that there was nothing to gain from and only loss of life if you put your hand into that hole you would never do it. Ever.
In the same way the fact that we, Thiests, commit sin despite our belief in God and in the Day of Judgement proves that although we believe in both in principle our certainity in our belief is less and far less that 100%.
That is the philosophy of sin. That is why we sin. It is simple logic and I hope you understand it.
The remedy ... well I will get to that remedy after everyone understands the above.
