What is happening in the Middle East? How can such a small nation as Israel pummel all the Arab countries with impunity?

Answer

There is no conundrum underlying the impunity and impudicity of the U.S.A's puppet state Israel. Those who are flummoxed and in a quandary regarding the military successes of Israel and the humiliating and terrible defeats of the Muslim countries are oblivious of the teachings of the Qur'aan. Their focus is only on the dunya, and that too extremely superficial. Commenting on the deficient focus of people, the Qur'aan Majeed states:

"They know only the zaahir of the dunya whilst they are oblivious (ghaafil) of the Aakhirah."

(Ar-Room, Aayat 7)

Not only is their focus only on the dunya, their understanding of the affairs of even this mundane life is extremely superficial, hence they are in a quandary.

The Qur'aan Majeed states explicitly that it is Allah Ta'ala who grants power to nations, and it is He who snatches away power. It is Allah Ta'ala who grants honour to people, and it is He who humiliates them. There is no conundrum in what is transpiring in Palestine and in the Muslim countries, and all over the world. It is the Athaab of Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala is empowering and allowing the Jews and the Christians to perpetrate their brutality. It is the Athaab of Allah Ta'ala.

Without the decree of Allah Azza Wa Jal, not an ant can move. Thus, the Qur'aan Majeed states:

"Not a leaf drops (from a tree) but He is aware…. It is recorded in a Clear Book."

When such is the all embracing, all-encompassing knowledge and power of Allah Ta'ala, then there is no puzzle, no conundrum for the Mu'min. Muslims have become traitors to Allah Ta'ala. He is now punishing us for our treachery. The kuffaar are part of the Army of Allah Azza Wa Jal. The Qur'aan states: "No one knows the armies of Allah, except He." Thus, whatever is transpiring in the lands of Islam today, is Divine Punishment which will run its prescribed course.
