4:17 Quran

Hello,
I do not think it is without having a knowledge for it because remember that people who became mushrik because of samiriyy got forgiven by God. However, they knew that this was a sin. Therefore, it is not without knowing
Peace -
We have 2 examples from the same case one - Allah returned (taabe) to Aadem, and the other - Allah cursed Iblees. Why?
They both disobeyed Allah, but not for the same reason. Aadem was in self-delusion by sheyTaan, he tought that he's more worth then recognized. On the other hand, Iblees thought that he's better then Aadem. Aadem wanted to be better (melek or of khaalidoon), but Iblees didn't want to be better, he wanted to be better then Aadem. Iblees took himself as a reference level, and Aadem took himself. Their state is very similar.
Aadem was proud of himself, but Iblees was arrogant.
If we, for example, hit somebody trying to defend us (in defensive war, for example) or somebody else (as Moosaa did), even if we kill him, we should expect to get forgiveness if we repent soon after. But if we hit somebody for hating him or thinking that we're in any way better then him - we probably won't get it. If somebody do something against our honor and we react cause of our honor, it's not the same as if we start hating that person and react out of hatred made.
Jaahiliyya is a state of pride, which should be clear from 3333, if we think about how most of the women, especially pretty ones, showing themselves in all ages.
