Please explain this "contradiction"
« on: February 25, 2016, 05:56:16 PM »
As-salamu alaykum.

Can you please brothers and sisters explain to me this "contradiction"? I know there is no contradiction in the Quran, but when I saw a verse in surah Ar-Rahman, instantly a question came into my mind, and when I searched for it on google, I found skeptics consider this as a contradiction.

55:39 says that we won't be questioned in the Day of Judgment:

55:39
For, on that Day, neither man nor jinn will be questioned about his sins.

However, in 7:6 and 102:8, we see references of God's questioning:

7:6
Then shall We question those to whom Our message was sent and those through whom We sent it

102:8
Then on that Day you shall be questioned about your worldly favours.


I am confused.

Also consider 15:92,

15:92
by your Lord, We shall question them all

Dear Sword,

I see no contradiction in these verses, in my opinion, the verses that you quote apart from 55:39 are letting us know about questioning of a particular kind.
here are common questioning words: why? when? how? who? did you...? where?
Apart from 55:39 all the questionings can be of why? and did you?
for verse 55:39 the questionings of type how? when? where? and who? are useless as all the deeds will be displayed before jinn and men and they will be witness over themselves. So need to question something already evident and exposed!

Hope that helps!

Dear maverick83pk,

May peace be upon you, brother.

Thank you for reply. I understand what you are saying. I have also found two links on the internet which present, although in a bit different way, the same view that you have kindly shared.

Here are the links:

1) http://www.understanding-islam.com/q-and-a/sources-of-islam/questioning-on-judgment-day-a-contradiction-in-the-qur-an-6111

2) http://www.islammuslims.com/article/discussion_q_a/discussion_forums/tafseer_of_the_verse_so_on_that_day_no_question_will_be_asked_of_man_or_jinn_as_to_his_sin_ar_rahmaan_55_39


May Allah guide us all.

Offline good logic

Peace Sword.

55:41  also gives you the answer l:
55:41
(This is because) the guilty will be recognized by their looks; they will be taken by the forelocks and the feet.
يُعرَفُ المُجرِمونَ بِسيمٰهُم فَيُؤخَذُ بِالنَّوٰصى وَالأَقدامِ


GOD bless you.
Peace
