Mu’tazila sect (15th part)
Prelude: Human life has two Dimensions:
1. The worldly Dimension.
2. The afterlife Dimension
All the deeds that Human does in this world, will see the results and consequences either in this world or remain for the Hereafter. There are two rulings in the case of committing a great sin; A ruling that is related to that person’s world and a ruling that is related to his hereafter.
In the previous Article, we expressed his (Great sinner) worldly ruling with reasons, and in this article, we want to express his ruling of the hereafter according to the opinions and theories of the groups.
The most important topics in this part of the article include the views of the Sunnis and the Al-Jammah, as well as the views of the Mu’tazila’s and their reasons.
The verdict of the perpetrator of the great sin in the Hereafter
There are various and different views on the ruling of the perpetrator of the great sin, and this issue is one of the important issues that has involved the Islamic thought, and in order to know what it is like for groups and religions: He enters heaven, we will study and research it.
In order to make the issue clear and its position clearer, in this section we try to express the views of other groups than the Mu’tazila’s:
The View of Mor’jaeh sect:
By examining the opinion of the Mor’jaeh group on this issue, it was found that they believe in punishment for the perpetrators of major sins.
Amadi explains this when presenting their views on this issue as follows: And worship, no one deserves reward, so despite faith and committing sin and transgression, he does not deserve punishment. Some Morjaeh say that his slips will not be punished in the Hereafter; “Rather, he is punished in the world by the flow of pains, sufferings, calamities and financial, life-threatening and loss of Property.”
The View of the Khawarij:
Sect of Khawarij have been very intense in this matter and consider the sinner as an infidel and a permanent deserving of the fire of hell; Because every sin is great for them and the perpetrator is in Hell forever and he will be punished like the disbelievers, and this is the opinion and Views that the scholars quote from the Khawarij.
Allama Bazdavi writes in this regard: “The Khawarij say: committing a minor and a great sin, when they leave the world without repentance, they will remain in hell forever and will be punished like infidels; “Because a person commits a sin, whether he is a minor or a great man.”
Imam Razi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: “Other groups of Khawarij agree that a servant becomes an infidel by committing a sin, and they consider Hazrat Osman and Hazrat Ali (as) infidels.” Of course, this is according to their views and opinions about faith, unlike Abadiyya among the Khawarij, who consider the perpetrator of a great sin an infidel.
The View of the Mu’tazila’s sect:
By referring to the Mu’tazila’s, we find that all the groups of the Mu’tazila’s – Including Basra and Kufis Mu’tazila – agree on the necessity of punishment for committing a great sin, and this punishment and can be removed by only one of the “two things”: by repentance or with to do Worship that is Greater than sin.
Judge Abdul Jabbar writes in this regard: It is clear that whenever one of us hurts another person, then he apologizes to him properly, he has done it by doing so, he has revoked the reproach that he deserved, to the point that he could not condemn him after that for the one who was wronged. And to remember badly, and this is the ruling in repentance along with the eagle and punishment.
“This sentence is in remorse and regret.” The second issue is that the obedience and worship of the perpetrators of the great sin should be more than his sins. Judge Abdul Jabbar writes in this regard: “Obedience that is greater than sin and sin is effective in abolishing punishment; Because its state in this case is the same as the state of one who does evil to another and breaks the head of his pen and then gives him a lot of wealth in return, then this person is not deserving of the crime he committed and the many gifts he has given to him, So this is our problem, so these two forms are effective in resolving and abolishing punishment and punishment; “As they have an effect on the reward.”
