>>>>>>>>> There are few more "Set questions" pops up time to time trying to support atheist philosophy.
It is a good question and a question preceded by some thoughts.
Just wanted to share a point here that, Allah chose who He will punish and when He will punish. As per scriptures of Islam, punishment in afterlife is a guaranteed things for criminals in afterlife. Sometime Allah delivers some sort of preview in this world as well.
Also sometimes Allah punish some good people for minor sins to free him/her from all sins before they met their Maker.
So while this is a good question, Islam does NOT say punishment will be delivered in this life.
Again just a clarification to those who are not familier with the concept of next life or ever lasting life in Islam.
I find it wonderful. He thought - Allah could not impose such an unfair rule on the poor people.
[ Source: Al Qurán 2:286 ]
But those who attain to faith and do righteous deeds - [and] We do not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear - they are destined for paradise, therein to abide,
[ Source: Al Qurán 7:42 ]
(Asad) [In all these respects,] let him who has ample means spend in accordance with [15] his amplitude; and let him whose means of subsistence are scanty spend in accordance with what God has given him: God does not burden any human being with more than He has given him - [and it may well be that] God will grant, after hardship, ease. -
[ source: Al Qurán 65:7 ]
He was not a Namazi; he was breaking Roza in public.
>>>>>>> This part may not be forgiven from Islamic stand point, for Muslims it is mandatory to offer Namaz/salat. Again people are asked to pray in bed if they are not able to get up for physical limitation.
Just explaining where Islam stands on this.
The Rickshow-puller was not showing any obedience to the supernatural power, even after the death of his daughter. He did not change at all even after the death of his daughter.
>>>>>>> yes, it is not uncommon to see such people among us.
Shalom!

I do not see this story as emphasizing the supernatural power at all. The Rickshow-puller was not showing any obedience to the supernatural power, even after the death of his daughter. He did not change at all even after the death of his daughter.

Re: [mukto-mona] Fw: blog
Where was the supernatural power when, for example, the butcher of East Bengal/Baluchistan, Tikka Khan, led the most heinous crimes on innocent humanity? Tikka actually led a life of royalty after the heinous crimes. There are plenty of other examples in the world where the supernatural power (God) has not punished serious criminals.
>>>>>>>> In the holy Qurán said, Allah does not put any burden on his creation that he/she cannot bear. If a rickshaw puller cannot fast because of some physical limitations but sincere in his faith, Allah may forgive him for it.
(Asad) God does not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear:
The life of this Rickshaw-puller tells so many lessons, in many ways. He raised the question - how a poor day-laborer, who is pulling his cart in the scorching sun with all his might, can fast. How could Allah ask of a Rickshaw-puller to work without food and drinking water? He was asking all the right questions, and was making all the right decisions without going to a Mollah. I find it wonderful. He thought - Allah could not impose such an unfair rule on the poor people. He said – Allah will understand why he was not fasting, even though Mullahs will not. I find it fascinating.
He was not a Namazi; he was breaking Roza in public. I saw the death totally differently also. I thought – she must have eaten so much, for the first time in her life that her stomach could not tolerate. But, the fact that even after such a loss, the Rickshaw-puller did not submit to supernatural power, and started to smoke in public again. He was thinking that - no one will rebuke him at least at that moment.

What! Beautiful story! 'Sangraksan Karun' (archive/preserve it)! Really!!
No, this rubbish is not worth archiving in mukto-mona. A poor rickshaw-puller getting most severely punished by the supernatural power for a little deviation from morality! Where was the supernatural power when, for example, the butcher of East Bengal/Baluchistan, Tikka Khan, led the most heinous crimes on innocent humanity? Tikka actually led a life of royalty after the heinous crimes. There are plenty of other examples in the world where the supernatural power (God) has not punished serious criminals.
The thought of punishments/rewards by God, the supernatural power, is not rational. I would not encourage it. I would encourage punishments of crimes and shunning of immorality to be done by real human systems. I would encourage the human systems to do the right things.
