Saturday, March 21st, 2009Qur’aanic Verse 9.126:
Transliteration:
126. Awa la yarawna annahum yuftanoona fee kulli AAamin marratan aw marratayni thumma la yatooboona wala hum yaththakkaroona
——————————————————————–
Translation:
126. Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year? Yet they repent not, nor do they take heed.53
———————————————————-
Comments:
53. Allah Almighty tries modern-day Muslims too. Earthquakes have struck Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Kashmir. But the Muslims dimiss them as natural phenomena, and they laugh at the idea that the Creator is causing them as warnings against their lifestyles. They are at the receiving end of ignominious treatments at places like Bosnia, Chechnia, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq et al, but they fail to realize that the Almighty is punishing them for their lifestyles contrary to the divine commands in the Qur’aan. As the Qur’aan says here, ‘Yet they repent not, nor do they take heed.’
