WRATH OF ALLAH And The Warning Signs

Wrath Of Allah:

We Are Being Punished!

Why Don’t We Understand?

Time To Reflect, To Repent And

Change Our Ways Is Now!

What Are We Waiting For?

(M. Javed Naseem)

Allah tells Pharaoh: "This day shall We save you in the body, that you may be a sign to those who come after you! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" - (al-Quran 10:92)

أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِى ٱلأَرْضِ

مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَاراً وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلأَنْهَارَ

تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْناً آخَرِينَ
“See they not how many of those before them We

did destroy? – Generations We had established on the

earth, in strength such as We have not given to you –

for whom We poured out rain from the skies in

abundance, and gave (fertile) streams flowing beneath

their (feet); yet for their sins We destroyed them, and

raised in their wake fresh generations (to succeed them).”

(al-Quran 6:6)

You don’t have to be a ‘super genius’ to understand what is happening to Muslims in the world and why? Be it Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya, Syria, Burma or even Pakistan, we see the same plight. The Ummah is being punished and their countries are being destroyed one by one. Why is it not happening in America, Britain, Australia, France or Germany? Because in those countries, people are what they generally claim to be (they are Kaafireen and they live like Kaafireen), whereas we claim to be Muslims but, in reality, we are far from Islam. We are insulting the Quran and ridiculing Islam with our corrupt lifestyles. We have become hypocrites (Munaafiqeen) and Allah hates hypocrisy.

أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ

يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَاكِنِهِمْ إِنَّ فِى ذٰلِكَ َلآيَاتٍ أَفَلاَ يَسْمَعُونَ
“Does it not teach them a lesson, how many

generations We destroyed before them, in whose

dwellings they (now) go to and fro? Verily in that

are Signs. Do they not then listen?”

(al-Quran 32:26)

We have become evil-doing folks who flourish on ‘Haraam’ (evil) and corruption but point fingers at others. We shout in the streets that we want change but we want others to change. We don’t want to change our own corrupt or evil ways and expect that prosperity would come our way because Allah has promised it to believers in the Quran. It doesn’t work like that. Yes, the promise still stands for the believers (Muslims) if they practically believe in Allah’s sovereignty, obey His commands, enjoin good and ward off evil, and physically prove it too.

There is no bigger fool in the world than the one who enjoys corruption (living sinful life) and still hoping for success and prosperity. Allah warns the evil-living people again and again but if they don’t repent, don’t change for the better, He unleashes His wrath.

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
“And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like

unto you; then is there any that will receive admonition?”

(al-Quran 54:51)

The Quran is full of the accounts of such nations that exist no more. They were destroyed because of their sins and evil ways of living. We are following the same path. We keep sinning and at the same time keep enjoying the bounties of Allah! We are disobeying Allah and constantly violating His Code of Conduct and still think that we’ll be blessed because we claim to be Muslims! Wrong! Who are we fooling? We cannot out-smart Allah Who created us and knows our nature. Sin leads to Hell.

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلأَوَّلِينَ

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلآخِرِينَ

كَذٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

“Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?

So shall We make later (generations) follow them.

Thus do We deal with men of sin.”

(al-Quran 77:16-18)

This short article is a reminder! We have already crossed the line. We have committed the crime of disobedience to Allah for which Iblees (the Devil), Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise. This is a reminder to you that if you have crossed the line, you cannot go far. Come back, repent and seek Allah’s forgiveness and follow the right path! Otherwise there’s no escape from punishment – from death and destruction – no way out, absolutely none! So get the message!

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يَبْعَثَ فِيۤ أُمِّهَا رَسُولاً يَتْلُو

عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِنَا وَمَا كُنَّا مُهْلِكِى ٱلْقُرَىٰ إِلاَّ وَأَهْلُهَا ظَالِمُونَ
“Nor was your Lord the one to destroy a population

until He had sent to its centre a messenger, rehearsing

to them Our Signs; nor are We going to destroy a

population except when its members practice iniquity.”

(al-Quran 28:59)

All calamities are ‘warning signs’ from Him – the Supreme Commander of the worlds. We should pay attention, get the message and mend our ways. How many warnings do we still need? Living in sin and corruption would bring upon us the wrath of Allah and in the Hereafter we would become fuel of Hellfire. We are losing on both sides!
