Anam 63-65
63- SAY: “WHO WILL RESCUE YOU IN THE DARKNESS OF THE LAND AND SEE? YOU ASK HIM PLEADING OPENLY AND IN SECRET, IF HE SAVES US FROM THIS, WE WILL BE OF THE THANKFUL”.
64- SAY: “ALLAH SAVES YOU FROM THIS AND FROM EVERY DIFFICULTY, AND THEN YOU WORSHIP PARTNERS BESIDES HIM”.
65- SAY: “HE IS THE ONE ABLE TO SEND UPON YOU PUNISHMENT FROM ABOVE YOU OR FROM UNDERNEATH YOUR LEGS, OR CAN DIVIDE YOU INTO FACTIONS AND LET YOU FIGHT EACH OTHER”. LOOK HOW DO WE MAKE THE AYAHS SO THAT THEY MAY UNDERSTAND.
At times of great distress, such as in severe storm at sea, or being lost in the desert in darkness and without water, then every one looks for the rescue by the divine power. No one called upon an idol, or the money they worshiped or the ideology they held high, or the person they served sincerely to help them. All things one held in the highest esteem will be unable to help. Indeed, they are not likely to be aware or our predicament. Only Allah the Highest will know and will be able to help if He wills.
Yet, when this help comes, and after threat has been removed and we feel secure again, then we often forget all about it, forget our rescue and who rescued us, and go back to our old ways, worshipping partners alongside the Creator.
We seem to always forget that Allah the Highest who saves us from the forces on earth or at see, is himself the master of these elements, and they are Allah’s forces on Earth. If Allah wills, He will send punishment from underneath or from above. This happened many times in the past:
- With Noah with the flood, in which water came from underneath and from above. Allah the Highest said: “THEN WE OPENED THE HEAVEN’S GATES WITH POURING WATER * AND WE LET THE EARTH BURST INTO SPRINGS, AND WATER MET TO FULFILL A DECREED COMMAND”. (S:54 A:11,12)
- Aad were destroyed by a very strong storm which was sent upon them for 7 days and eight nights. Allah the Highest said: “AS FOR AAD, THEY WERE DESTROYED BY A VERY LOUD AND STRONG WIND * WAS SENT TO THEM FOR SEVEN NIGHTS AND EIGHT DAYS IN SUCCESSION, WHICH LEFT PEOPLE DEAD LIKE EMPTY STEMS OF PALM TREES”. (S:69 A:6,7)
- Pharaoh and his army were drowned in the sea.
- More recently we have seen Allah the Highest destroying places by Earthquakes and Volcanoes and Tsunamis.
- We see the remains of Pompeii which was buried under volcanic ash, leaving no one alive about 2000 years ago, and their town and bodies are still preserved.
- Allah the Highest sent to the army of Abraha who aimed to destroy the Kabbah, flocks of birds carrying stones of baked clay, they throw on the army. Each soldier hit by a stone was killed.
These were just examples of Allah the Highest destroying those who disobeyed him by means of his, either natural forces or by other forces sent specially to them.
Another means of destroying people is and making them suffer as well as weakening them, is to divide them into factions and let them fight each other. This is happened with the people of the book throughout history in Europe and the Americas, which have seen many wars killing millions, and the first and second world wars are not far for us to remember.
Unfortunately, this happened and is happening to the Muslims as well, which is a clear sign to us that we are not on the right path and that there are many reasons for Allah the Highest to be displeased with us. Allah’s messenger prayed two Rakaa then went on Dawaa for a long time them said: “I asked my Lord three things, he gave me two and denied me one, I asked my Lord not to destroy my nation through shortage of food and he granted it, and I asked he not to destroy my nation by drowning, and he granted it, and I asked him not to let them fight each other, but he denied me this”. (M:Fetan;20 & Ma:Fetan;9 & Mal:Quran;35 & A:5;240)
There are more Muslims killed by Muslims than there are ones killed by non-Muslims. There is no doubt that Allah the Highest is displeased with us and there are many reasons for this. It is not possible to mention them all now. It is perhaps telling what a lady who converted from Christianity to Islam said: “I did not embrace Islam because I liked what the Muslims do and how they live, but because I liked Islam when I looked at it”.
