Is Hurricane Sandy Divine Punishment On America For The Anti-Islam Film? by LagosShia: 1:20pm On Nov 04, 2012
I have read many views, on nairaland particularly,asking muslims not to protest even peacefully and to allow "their God" to act against those behind the anti-Islam film.from a religious point, disasters such as flood or earthquake can be seen as a sign,warning,test or simply explained scientifically if the location is prone to such disaster.also there is the time factor.this hurricane,of such magnitude, came to the US east coast just not long after the production of the insulting,blasphemous,provocative and defaming film.

I am not concluding myself on any reason because I cannot speak on behalf of God.but for those who believe in signs and were in fact asking for one,could this hurricane be seen as a sign or punishment against the blasphemy america is giving cover to against? What do you think?
Re: Is Hurricane Sandy Divine Punishment On America For The Anti-Islam Film? by Nobody: 7:32pm On Nov 04, 2012
in my opinion, It is more likelythe impact of sea level rise and increased water vapor or
global warming.
I think it is very nice that you asked what people thought instead of outrightly declaring that it was a punishment from Allah (as if Allah spoke to you and told you so or something).

That it is a punishment can not be ruled out. But as humans and without the knowledge of d unseen, it is better we leave it as it is best known-hurricane sandy.

Just ystrdy while goin through some youtube videos,I read a comment like yours. Am sure many Muslims must be feeling vindicated by the hurricane. I prefer to be on the safe side.

It is interesting that science usually has an explanation. Even at death they'd call it a cardiac arrest. It doesnt ever negate the spiritual cause of the events.

Abegi. Its delusional to assume that natural disasters must be a form of punishment. What of Katrina and other storms, forest fires, earth quakes etc that happened in America in the last 50 years. Were those punishments too?

What of this years flooding in about 10 states in Nigeria just this year. Are we being punished too?

Believe what you can if it makes you feel good. grin

It would be nice to know from those who ask for Allah's punishment when would they be convinced it is actually divine punishment and they should desist from their evil ways?is it till the ocean submerges the entire US and turns canada into an island on its own cut off from continental america?when would it be enough to make the U-turn?

I am not concluding that Sandy was punishment or not.I'm simply seeking the opinion of others especially the haters.

Holy Quran 46:22
"They said: Have you come to us to turn us away from our gods; then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones".

Holy Quran 40:81-85
"And He shows you (always) His Signs: then which of the Signs of Allah will ye deny? Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them. For when their apostles came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in. But when they saw Our Punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah,- the one Allah - and we reject the partners we used to join with Him." But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah.s Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)"!

LagosShia,
If the hurricane was a punishment for the anti-Islamic film, don't you think it would have happened in the parts of the United States where the film was produced or the parts where the producers live?

I mean Hurricane Sandy happened in Northeastern parts of the USA and the anti-Islamic film was produced in California; which is in the Western part of USA..............

I never said it is punishment.here is what I earlier said:

"I am not concluding that Sandy was punishment or not.I'm simply seeking the opinion of others especially the haters".

Now under the assumption it is punishment and to answer your question,I would say the hurricane hit the center of american supremacy which is new york,which is also closer to washington DC.also I think the pentagon is in that region.anyways I'm not saying it is punishment.I only created this thread to answer the rude haters of Islam,who question the power of God Almighty.they have said all sorts of nonsense that makes no sense.they have said "the muslim God" is "weak" and "useless" and bla bla.of course not like God Almighty we believe in is only for muslims and not like they can prove their words.but now that this incident took place,let them speculate from the other extreme and have fun in this thread.just may be their habit of talking nonsense can lead to waking up their senses in this thread.

I don't know if muslims died or "suffered".but even at that,death really comes when God decrees it for the human being.at least as muslims that's what we believe.a soul only tastes death when God wants that to happen.so assuming muslims died,then like non-muslims that's the time God have decided for them.if God decide you will die,in whatever way,even if you're sleeping on your bed,you will still die!what is of significance in such situation is not really death or even suffering people undergo which can be punishment or test/trial/circumstances that God will reward the believers for.it is rather the impact on those living.how many billions got destroyed/lost? And how many more billions will the american economy have to gush out to amend the damages?

Again I must emphasize that we are only speculating here and "free talking".we have not drawn any conclusion.

This is no competition.we have stated we don't know for sure what reason is behind the hurricane.it could be punishment,test/trial,environmental factors,etc.but we are simply asking the haters who wanted Allah (swt) to reveal His wrath to take note.

But to demonstrate to you that muslims are not hypocrites,I will present to you the opinion of a cleric (even though a hardliner) explaining natural disasters.you can also add the tsunami in south east asia which affected muslim countries.it is not like if muslims do bad,God won't judge them.Islam is clear for all to see and God will judge us all.


Iranian cleric: Promiscuity, sin cause earthquakes but God may be holding his fire

Ali Akbar Dareini, The Associated Press  May 14, 2010 09:06:27 AM

TEHRAN, Iran - A prominent hard-line Iranian cleric who said promiscuity and immodest dress cause earthquakes says God may be holding off on natural disasters in the West in order to let people sin more and consign themselves to hell.

Kazem Sedighi sparked widespread derision with his pronouncements in a prayer sermon last month linking earthquakes with women's dress. In a new sermon Friday, he has defended and elaborated on his claim.

Sedighi notes that some might ask why there aren't more earthquakes and storms striking Western nations that are "up to their necks" in immorality.

He says the answer is that God allows some of those who "provoke His wrath" to continue sinning "so that they (eventually) go to the bottom of Hell."

You didn't have to quote anything, from the way you made that statement, it was clear that you were trying to base it on an Hadith you read before. It was easy to see. You did not have to quote anything.

still and obviously taking a cheap shot at the bible when cornered.
