Doctor's Misconception About Quranic Fear

“In one of the discussions with my doctor, he said that the first impression he got from Quran is that God wants to scare people and threaten men to worship. He gave examples of hell and burning in fire, etc. He said that a man should have a loving relationship with God and not one based in fear. Maulana, please guide me for its appropriate answer.”Asked by ذیشان یوسف, حیدرآباد

ji Maulana, agla sawal aaya hai Mr. Zeeshan Yusuf ka Hyderabad se. unhon ne likha hai: "in one of the discussions with my doctor, he said that first impression he got from Quran is that God wants to scare people and threaten man to worship. he gave examples of hell and burning in fire, etcetera. he said that a man should have loving relationship with God and not the one based on fear. Maulana, please guide me for its appropriate answer." dekhiye, yeh ek cheez ko bure dhang se explain karna hai. masla fear ka ya hell ka nahin hai. masla yeh hai ke Khuda ka takhleeqi mansooba kya hai? creation

plan of God kya hai? woh is is se juri hui baat ke Khuda ne jab banaya hai duniya ko to yeh testing ground hai. to Khuda select kar raha hai, select ek selection Khuda ke paas ho raha hai. kaun is test mein poora hua, kaun poora nahin hua? jo poora hoga, us ke paradise hai, purana woh hell hai. is ke to woh to Khuda ne yani bataya hai, woh jis ko aap kehte hain ke threat diya hai. threat nahin diya hai balkeh bataya hai ke ke kya hai takhleeqi mansooba aur kya hone wala hai.

to batane ko aap threat keh rahe hain, galat is ko ek bura naam de rahe hain. yani Khuda ne jo cheez bator waqea batayi hai, us ko aap keh rahe hain threat. threat ki baat nahin hai. agar agar agar aap ko traffic police kahe ke agar galat tareeqe se chalavoge gaadi, gaadi to accident ho jayega, to kahin threat hua? agar traffic police wala kahin khada hua hai, woh kahe ke tum agar galat gaadi chalavoge to accident ho jayega, mar jaoge, to yeh threat nahin hai. yeh yeh ek baat hai, us ko bataya us ne. aise hi Quran mein jo hai, woh ek baat hai, woh batayi gayi hai. woh threat ko kehte hain, aap us ko woh threat nahin hai, simply woh information hai.
