Covid-19 Conspiracy or Punishment
All thanks to Allah (SWT), the uncreated, creator of all creatures. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the noblest of mankind - Prophet Muhammed (SAW) the zeal of all prophets.
This message is for all and sundry. Be it Muslims, Christians, Jews, or Traditional worshipers. If you know you're a living creatures, kindly read and digest this message.
You all are aware of the pandemic virus (COVID-19) has generated pandemonium around the world. There are series of rumors on COVID-19. Some people say it's the purnishment of Allah while some say it's a conspiracy.
Which ever way they look at it, what concerns you and l is how to react positively to the plague. We need to remind people what the Qur'an says and how to deal with the plague.
As a scholar in this field, and more importantly someone who is an Hafidh ul Qur'an حافظ القرآن since 1990. I felt it will be better if l share the knowledge l have for people. If l keep the knowledge to myself without impacting it, Allah will ask me in the day of Qiyamah.
Corona Virus is a pandemic virus that has crippled businesses around the world. Not only that, it has claimed thousands of lifes and making everyone panicking.
Apart from these, it has made a lot of people lose their jobs and businesses.
In fact, some people have committed suicide. We pray to Allah to salvage the situation and grant us respite. We may have lost our wealth and possessions but looking at it from Islamic perspective, you aren't a loser. The real loser is someone who left the world without worshipping Allah.
If you refuse to worship Allah and follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammed (SAW) and died in that state, you're the real loser in the sight of Allah. So, any believer that lose his/her jobs, businesses or possessions at this trying times shouldn't feel disconsolate.
If you have faith in Allah and Tawakkul (Trust), He'll suffice you and return back your lost in manifolds. But one who die as an unbeliever is the real loser here. This is in line with what the Qur'an says in Chapter 3 verse 85, Chapter 29 verse 52 and Chapter 39 verse 14 - 15.
We pray to Allah to make life easy for us, protect us from plague of any kind and never forsaken us. Aameeen.
