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.
