Please explain what is happening in Egypt and Syria.

Answer

What is happening in Egypt and Syria is fitnah which is the consequence of gross transgression and rebellion against Allah Ta'ala by the Muslim populations of those countries. Currently in Egypt the ruling party is not Muslim. Whilst they have Muslim names, at heart they are kuffaar and munaafiqeen. They abhor Islam. The Muslim brotherhood whilst a Muslim party, has strayed far from the Sunnah. They are ghair muqallideen, nevertheless, our emotional support and duas are with Morsi and his people. At least they proclaim Islam.

In Syria, two kaafir groups are fighting. One, is the extreme Shiah sect of Asad and his people. The other group consists of secularists who abhor Islam and who are fighting for a secular state. In the mix some Salafi Mujahideen are also participating. But in the end they will fail. The population consisting largely of Sunnis who in turn consist largely of Muslims who have practically abandoned Islam, is being punished.

Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) has warned the Ummah of these types of Athaab which will settle on them when they turn their backs on to the Deen.
