The Corona Virus: Wisdom, Cause & Solution as prescribed by The Qur’ān & Sunnah

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy (may Allaah preserve him)

~stated on 21st Rajab1441 (16th March 2020):

Wisdom: "Indeed Allaah does not send down a plague except in order for the slave to return, repent and start again."

《وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

And We have certainly sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with loss of wealth and loss of health so they would humble themselves [to Us in supplication].

فَلَوْلَآ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا۟ وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ 

Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.

فَلَمَّا نَسُوا۟ مَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَٰبَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَرِحُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتُوٓا۟ أَخَذْنَٰهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ

So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair.

فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ۚ وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 》

So the people that committed wrong were eliminated. And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

(Al-An'am 6:42-45)

"So it is upon the people of Islaam not to forget what they have been reminded of, because Allaah is certainly reminding us with this epidemic that there is a final abode and return to Allaah (free is He from all imperfection and most high)."

Cause: "It is necessary for us to know the cause, because once the cause is known there can be no surprises. What has afflicted us is only from sins, heedlessness and indifference."

(Ash-Shura 42:30)

《وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ 》

And whatever afflicts you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.

“اللهم إنه ما نزل بلاء إلا بذنب، ولا يرفع إلا بتوبة “

Oh Allaah, verily no plague is sent down except due to sin and it is not lifted except by repentance.

.....contd....

Solution: Wallaahi, that which you are currently in fear of, the reason why you are shutting down your schools, government departments, Masajid, congregational prayers and society in general will not be lifted except by Allaah.

By the one whom there is none worthy of worship except Allaah; there is nothing that will lift it from you except you supplicating to Allaah (free is He from all imperfection and Most High) just like Allaah said:

《وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ》

And We have certainly sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with loss of wealth and loss of health so they would humble themselves [to Us in supplication].
