Imam Razi discusses a nuanced point regarding divine mercy and human accountability. He explains that concealing certain knowledge is an act of Allah’s compassion, as increased awareness brings greater responsibility. A story illustrates this: The Prophet Muhammad instructed Hazrat Ali to awaken a sleeping man for prayer. The Prophet clarified that if he had awakened the man himself and the man refused, it would be considered disbelief. However, if Hazrat Ali gently roused him, it wouldn’t carry the same consequence. This highlights a crucial distinction: direct intervention carries a different weight than indirect guidance. The level of accountability depends on the method of conveyance.
