God's retribution is severe
(Would you
like to lose a finger?)
Most
of us take God's retribution for granted, some even try to deny the existence
of such a retribution by claiming that God unconditionally loves all His
creatures regardless of their orientation (God-centered or not).
Before we were sent to this planet, we were all living in another dimension
(Paradise), in it we experienced no misery, no pain, no suffering at all,
we were perfectly happy,
[20:117]
We then said, "O Adam,
this is an enemy of you and your wife. Do not let him evict you from Paradise,
lest you become miserable.
[20:118]
"You are guaranteed
never to hunger therein, nor go unsheltered.
[20:119]
"Nor will you thirst
therein, nor suffer from any heat."
Thus the basic necessities that man needed were generously provided to him,
however Satan introduced his idea of assigning powers to the creatures, which
enticed Adam and all of us into wanting MORE.
[20:120]
But the devil whispered
to him, saying, "O Adam, let me show you the tree of eternity and unending
kingship."
Some people are never satisfied, they yield to the consumerism mentality
of Satan and pursue more and more under the illusion that this more will satisfy their burning
desires. This is the path of transgression, not being satisfied with what
God provides for you (through His legitimate systems), and wanting more than
your needs.
There is a perefct system of distributing provisions, all the inbalance we
see and inequality in the world now is because of those who out of greed
stole the shares of others.
The fact is that all the vanities of life are but an illusion, if we reverence
God and follow His systems of marriage, fair trade, honesty...etc, God will
provide us with even more than what we need!
What did Noah say to his people?
[71:10] "I said, `Implore your Lord for forgiveness;
He is Forgiving.
[71:11] " `He will then shower
you generously with rain.
[71:12] " `And provide you with
money and children, and orchards, and streams.' "
[71:13] Why should you not strive to reverence
GOD?
Yes, why shouldn't we strive to reverence God? some may argue that many nations
already live in abundance and are showered with provisions inspite of their
disregarding God!. Well, the facts suggest otherwise, even those developed
countries are suffering from terrible inequality among their citizens, high
suicide rates, escalating crime rates, drug abuse and incurable diseases...etc!.
God leads them on untill their time comes, then they will have to pay for
their transgressions either by the retribution or the Hour.
[26:141]
Thamoud disbelieved
the messengers.
[26:142]
Their brother Saaleh
said to them, "Would you not be righteous?
[26:143]
"I am an honest messenger to you.
[26:144] "You shall reverence
GOD, and obey me.
[26:145] "I do not ask you for
any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe.
[26:146] "Do
you suppose you will be left forever, secure in this state?
[26:147] "You enjoy gardens
and springs.
[26:148] "And crops and date
palms with delicious fruits.
[26:149] "You carve out of the
mountains luxurious mansions.
[26:150] "You shall reverence
GOD, and obey me.
[26:151] "Do not obey the transgressors.
[26:152]
"Who commit evil, not
good works."
All these sufferings are because of disregarding God, and instead
of relating all power to Him, we relate power to our companies, governments,
parents, jobs, spouses even though they may totally oppose righteousness,
freedom and justice!.
How many people work (just for money) for companies that destroy human lives
and the environment in cold blood! in God's system, we are individually responsible
for our lives, who we work for, what we eat and drink, what we offer our
families, what we give to charity...etc, obeying the leaders in order to
be provided for by them bring nothing but slavery, humiliation and suffering.
Do you think the diseases that strike you or someone near you are haphazard?
do you think disease and accidents select their targets at random? It's you
who invite these disasters by disobeying God and transgressing beyond the
limits, by disregarding Him and following your desires even if they contradict
with your basic values!
[30:41] Disasters have spread throughout the
land and sea, because of what the people have committed. He thus lets
them taste the consequences of some of their works, that they may return
(to the right works).
A clear transgression is Homosexuality,
some homosexuals actually
woke up from Satan's control and now are happily married, however the vast majority of them
are blindly following their sinful lusts with no regard for the destructive
consequences on the society, and even on their adopted children who will
eventually grow up with character disorders!
It is Satan who wants to distort God's creation and design, he wants to be
a god besides God.
[7:189]
He
created you from one person (Adam). Subsequently, He gives every man a mate
to find tranquility with her. She then carries a light
load that she can hardly notice. As the load gets heavier, they implore GOD
their Lord: "If You give us a good baby, we will be appreciative."
[4:119]
"I will mislead them,
I will entice them, I will command them to (forbid the eating of certain
meats by) marking the ears of livestock, and I
will command them to distort the creation of GOD." Anyone who accepts the
devil as a lord, instead of GOD, has incurred a profound loss.
Homosexuality represents a gross transgression and total surrender to satan
and the Jinn companions, these companions have no
sense of values, they endorse Satan's views and advocate them wholeheartedly,
we don't hate those homosexuals who are stuggling deep inside against their
lusts, but we have to warn those who have lost this struggle and completely
surrendered to their companion's control, of God's severe retribution that
(God willing) will demonstrate itself on the coming 11,9
in San Francisco as per the Quranic prophecy.
[29:28] Lot said
to his people, "You commit such an abomination, no one in the world has ever
done it before you.
[29:29] "You practice sex with the men,
you commit highway robbery, and you allow all kinds of vice in your society."
The only response from his people was to say, "Bring to us GOD's retribution,
if you are truthful."
Ultimately nobody wishes to lose even a
finger! God invites us all to be redeemed by imploring Him for forgivness,
and refraining from all kinds of vice and transgressions, and saying No to
our sinful lusts, and more importantly remembering and reverencing the majesty
of God, Who is watching us, and Who responds to our sincere prayers with
mercy and provisions.
[2:165] Yet, some
people set up idols to rival GOD, and love them as if they are GOD. Those
who believe love GOD the most. If
only the transgressors could see themselves when they see the retribution!
They will realize then that all power belongs to GOD alone, and that GOD's
retribution is awesome.
God gains nothing from punishing you, it's you who bring yourself suffering
by accepting satan's invitations and transgressing the limits. In order to
keep yourself balanced, you should start reverencing God and imploring Him,
that He may redeem you into His mercy and shower you with His provisions.
[10:98] Any community that believes will surely be
rewarded for believing.
For example, the people of Jonah: when they believed, we relieved the humiliating
retribution they had been suffering in this world, and we made them prosperous.
