Were Pharaoh, Nimrod and Meccan Pagans truly unrighteous people?

[Buddhistforlife]

In the Qur'an it is said that the Pharaoh, King Nimrod of Babylon and the Meccan Pagans are unrighteous people. But do you think it is okay to call them unrighteous just because they refused to believe in Allah? Can't they be just called non muslims?

QUOTE some verse of quraan, and then we will talk.

It Was Not Just Refusing To Believe In Allah These People Promoted Socio Political Systems Based On Injustice and Oppression

No

Pharoah was an oppressor on his people. Not only did he kill every male born child of Bani Israel (Children of Israel) but subject them to sever hardship and oppression.

Nimrod, became husband of his own mother, and made her a mother of his own child, apart from being an oppressor and a devil worshipper or self proclaimed god.

Meccan Pagans associated gods with The God. But they were not all wrong or unrighteous, we have many Muslims coming from them, and they were all even forgiven on the conquest of Makkah.

So bottom line, if you want to talk about the Quran, then please go ahead and read it in its entirety. And you will get all of your answers.

that's why we are Bashing Indian Hindus through their religion day and night.

yup, because they were running a corrupt system that was exploiting the humanity off their resources right to seek justice and equality!

They were becoming a barrier in the natural evolution of a human societies that they were running, Thats Why Allah send Prophets to push them away and liberate the humanity or the Nations that they had under control or enslaved.

And thats what they did, and thats what history remembers them for.

All of them had one thing in common. They had pride. They appointed themselves as gods over their people and demanded their worship. Because of their power, millions under them were forced into idolatry and human worship. And I am not even discussing the cruelties of these Kings for eg. Pharaoh ordered the execution of all male offspring of the Hebrews. ( I still shiver with fear thinking about that)

I am quoting Hazrat Jaffar, the cousin of Prophet Muhammad, when he went to the Abyssinian King to demand asylum:

" O king! we lived in ignorance , idolatry and unchastity; the strong oppressed the weak; we spoke untruth; we violated the duties of hospitality. Then a prophet (SAW) arose, one whom we knew from our youth, with whose descent , conduct and good faith we were all acquainted. He told us to worship One True God, to speak the truth, to keep good faith, to assist our relatives, to fulfill the duties of hospitality and to abstain from all impure, ungodly and unrighteous things. And he ordered us to say prayers, give charity and fast. We believe in him, we follow him; but our countrymen persecute us, torture us and tried to cause us to forsake our religion."

This above encapsulates pretty much everything that is needed to prove that these strongmen were wicked people.
