    why do we punish murderers?

    if time of death is specified by Allah then why do we punish murderers? they person who got murdered who have died anyway?

    also i have heard ghamidi sahab said Natural disasters are to remind people death. then why do we consider terrorists bad people? they constantly remind us death?

    The time of death is in the knowledge of Allah. His knowledge does not make it happen.

    Anything or anyone who reminds us of death makes us conscious that we are going to die one day and meet our Lord. It does not mean that things are not bad in their effects.

    “And when their time arrives, they cannot delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it.”

    No. time is written and no one can delay or advance it. So why can’t a murderer use the argument that his time was up he would have died anyway.

    If Allah were to punish people ˹immediately˺ for their wrongdoing, He would not have left a single living being on earth. But He delays them for an appointed term. And when their time arrives, they cannot delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it

    “Ge delays them” idk the quran never means what it actually means according to you.

    Allah says he delays them for an appointed time but apparently he has no influence according to you? he can’t delay them, that’s what you saying?

    This is about nations. When their time comes, they are destroyed after being given ample time to reconsider their behaviour against Haq. However, individuals are left to the factors of cause and effect. They die the ways they die. People have been made responsible for their actions.

    And it is not [possible] for one to die except by the permission of Allah at a decree determined. (3:145).

    But never will Allah delay a soul when its time has come. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do. (63:11).

    what about these. Allah is stating clearly that a time is determined for every soul? and who won’t delay it when it comes?

    They say, ‘If there was anything we could have done in the matter, some of us would not have been killed right here.’ Say, ‘Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their deathbeds.

    al imran 154.
