All Perpetrators Are Stupid People

Bismillah was shalatu was greeting ‘ala Rasulillah, wa ba’du,

The most severe ignorance experienced by servants is ignorance related to the majesty and glory of God. Because of this reason, a servant belittles God's rights and easily violates God's rules.

God commented on unbelievers, who denied the truth of revelation - Allah called them the people who least understood the majesty of God.

Allah says,

وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ إِذْ قَالُوا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَشَرٍ مِنْ شَيْءٍ

"They do not give glory to Allah with the proper glorification, when they say:" Allah does not lower anything to humans ... "(Surat al-An'am: 91)

The greater the level of disobedience a person has, the more ignorant he is of God's right. Because of that, Allah calls acts of immorality an act of ignorance.

Allah says,

إِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ

"Verily repentance with Allah is only repentance for those who do evil because of ignorance ..." (Surat an-Nisa: 17)

In the at-Tabari commentary, he brought a history of several Tabi'in scholars, including,

[1] From Abul Aliyah,

عن أبي العالية: أنه كان يحدِّث: أن أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كانوا يقولون: كل ذنب أصابه عبد فهو بجهالة

From Abul Aliyah, he once said that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘All sins committed by servants are due to ignorance. '

[2] The history of Qatadah bin'amah,

عن قتادة قال: اجتمع أصحابُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرأوا أن كل شيء عُصيِ به فهو "جهالة" ، عمدًا كان أو غيره

From Qatadah, he said, sahabat The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered, then they agreed that all immoral acts were ignorance, whether done intentionally or unintentionally. ’

[3] The history of Mujahid bin Jabr,

عن مجاهد في قوله: "للذين يعملون السوء بجهالة" ، قال: كل من عصى ربه فهو جاهل حتى ينزع عن معصيته

From Mujahid, that the word of God concerning those who commit immorality with ignorance, he said,

‘All who commit to his Lord, then he is stupid, until he lives his immorality. '

(Tafsir at-Thabari, 8/89)

Such is the understanding of the friends - ridhwanullah "alaihim - against the Koran and the human condition, until they conclude, as long as the servant is engaged in the act, the essence is he is acting foolishly.

Syaikhul Islam said,

والمقصود هنا أن لله فهو جاهل ، وكل خائف منه فهو عالم مطيع لله ؛ وإنما يكون جاهلا لنقص خوفه من الله إذ لو تم خوفه من الله لم يعص. ومنه قول ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه: كفى بخشية الله علما وكفى بالاغترار بالله جهلا

In conclusion, that everyone who is committed to God is stupid. And all those who fear God, then he is pious (knowledgeable), obedient to Allah. He became a fool, because of his lack of fear of God. Because, if his fear of God is perfect, he will not engage in mockery. From here, we understand the words of Ibn Masud radhiyallahu ‘anhu," Sufficient is the fear of God to be a science, and it is enough to feel deceived by the grace of Allah as ignorance. "(Majmu’ al-Fatawa, 7/23).

For this reason, the scholars are called the ones who fear the most, because of their great fear of Him,

إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ

"Indeed, those who fear Allah among servants are only the scholars." (Surat Fathir: 28).

O Lord, give us knowledge, which makes us even more afraid of you ...

Amin ...

So, Allahu 'alam.
