What is the view of The Majlis regarding the widespread violence in our country?

Answer

Our view which is the

Qur'aanic view – the view of the Shariah – is that the current violence is part of Allah's Athaab (Punishment). It is a warning for Muslims. If we are not going to take lesson and submit fully to the Shariah, the Athaab will overwhelm the Muslim community with heart-rending consequences.

Allah Ta'ala firstly issues a warning with a lesser punishment. If the warning is not heeded, the greater punishment will follow. Then, the whole community will be overwhelmed with horrendous suffering at the hands of the kuffaar mobs who will rejoice with looting, killing, raping, burning, etc. Warning us, Allah Ta'ala says:

"Most certainly We shall give them to taste of the lesser punishment, not the greater punishment so that they may return (to the path of obedience)."
