PREVENT THE PUNISHMENT OF ALLAH TA'ALA
And fear affliction which cannot fall exclusively on those of you who do wrong,
and know that Alláh is severe in punishment. – S.8.25.
This verse is explained in Tafsír e Ma’áriful Qur’án as follows:
Hadhrat Abdulláh bin Abbás (Radiallahu Anhu) has said that Alláh has ordered Muslims to
prevent immorality and disobedience in their towns and villages. Furthermore, not preventing such actions, despite having the power to do so, will definitely result in severe punishment on all, irrespective of whether they be pious people or immoral people. Imám Bagháwí has noted that in Sharí’ah-Al Sunnah and Ma’álim appear narrations from Hadhrat Abdulláh bin Masúd (Radiallahu Anhu) and Ayeshah Siddiqah (Radiallahu Anha) that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi Wasallam) has said:
Alláh does not send His punishment on all the people for the sins
of a certain group of immoral persons when He sees the virtuous
people preventing the wrongdoers from their activities. In case they
do not prevent them, then Alláh will certainly send and spread His
punishment. Ma-áriful Qur’án Vol. 4. p. 212.
The Sahábí, Hadhrat Hudhaifah (Radiallahu Anhu)has said that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi Wasallam) said:
I swear by Alláh, the One in whose hands my life is, continue to order
and guide people towards virtuous deeds, and prevent people from
immoral acts and sins. Otherwise, Almighty Alláh will surely send
His severe punishment upon you. If you then turn to Alláh and pray,
your prayers will not be accepted. – Mishkát Sharíf, p.436. Chapter
on Amr-Bil-Ma’rúf.
Advice from the book published in the year 1999:
REASONS FOR ALLAH’S ANGER AND WAYS FOR ITS REMEDY
By the Grand Muftí of Gujerat, India, Hadhrat Shaikh Muftí AbdurRahím Lájpurí Sáhib (Rahmatullah Alayh)
Stop The Disobedience Of Alláh
َWe must try to stop people in our locality from indulging in disobedience of Alláh. The instruments of music, singing and dancing must be removed from our homes, as these attract the wrath of Alláh very quickly. The act of adultery and its means must be eradicated. Women should observe purdah from non mahram males, and stop offering their services in schools, offices and businesses, as these lead to the spread of vice and immorality. Peace and tranquillity in the family and society are eroded through these activities and, ultimately, lead to the erosion of human values. A mere glance at the happenings in today’s society will confirm this state of affairs. If circumstances require womenfolk to earn a living, they can then take to teaching small children at home, do some handiwork or other petty trade from within the confines of their own homes. The intake of liquor and any type of drug and intoxicant must be avoided by all. We should all try to eradicate these vices from our society.
