Can a muslim rejoice at the death of someone ?

Peace jm. From the quran i think 52 and 58 are relevent;
'Dont let the dislike of a people make you unjust'...
From common-sense/experience/history it can be very dangerous to hate or wish for a bad end for someone...We have jails to contain wrongdoers...Hate can breed intolerance,unfounded agression and destruction...Do you think the world needs more of this hate?...Look at iraq,palestine,sudan,rwanda etc,etc... o
In the quran is there any example of any prophet (except noah o.) praying or wishing for the destruction of people that were wrong-doers?...Wouldnt it be better to 'contain' the persistent wrong-doers,and/or teach them how to behave respectfully?
Peace all. ps;Did moses wish the destruction of pharoah and hate him?... Or did moses preach to him and try to make him see the error of his ways? -
If it?s a tyrant like Saddam Hussein I see no reason not to throw a party. P

I feel sorry for all humans that don't free themselves from their self-made prison of illusions. To kill somebody is only, because they want to kill you or harm you with reasons that are based on those illusions. So that is the only reason some people must die, direct self-defense or indirect selfdefense. So i would never rejoice over somebody's death, nobody's...

Not even Saddam Husseins?

I feel sad for him that he wasted his life on his illusions and caused so many harm to others with it, so i would not rejoice for his death, no.... But people like him should be put to death, so people can feel their struggle was not for nothing and to sooth people's agony that they suffered because of him. There is a huge difference between not rejoicing and knowing he deserves death....

This is my opinion sugar, it is not meant to say that if you rejoice you are wrong.......You must follow your own thinking. i just shared my opinion, nothing more....

Peace be upon you,
No one deserves death, only the wicked charatcer of a person deserves "death". You reap what you sow, if you wish death on others, especially having never personally met a person, then others may wish death on you, possibly having the wrong idea about you. When Noah stated not to leave a single rejector, that means to bring all of them to righteousness, not murder them all. If we murder all the antagonists in life, where will the test come from? Should you not be tested like those before you?
A "muslim" wishes for his worse enemy that they learn truth , not that they die. Musa did not seek death for firaun, but to teach him truth.

Peace idol-free. Beautifully expressed. )

Great!!!. Saddam is a tyrant and he killed Iraqis so he deserve death and celebration when dies.
Bush killed over 110,000 innocent Iraqi children, women, elderly, unarmed civilians destroyed their cities and towns used chemical weapons in Faluja is the real hero the liberator.

Are you gonna celebrate when Bush dies?
Peace,

I'll celebrate only after I die. And no else is allowed to the party. ;D
Hi Zen,
lol and what makes you think you will attain paradise? (BTW that was not meant in a cheeky way)

Peace be upon you,
We have to understand that it is the VERY SAME GOD at the core of all created beings. It is ONE and the SAME LIFE that manifests through all bodily vehicles. How can we wish death to that?
I strive to only cheer if somehow people like Bush and Saddam can learn righteousness. Not if they die and waste the oppurtunity to purify thier spirits and let the God's attributes manifest through them.

Either way, it's going to be one hell of a party! No pun intended
PS - I'm no longer worried about 'punishment in grave', 'heaven', 'hell', etc... I'm just doing what I gotta do.
?There is no worry, for we are all returning to our Lord.?
?We hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first to believe.? -
