Question
In a pamphlet, SANHA sarcastically shouted that the 'skies did not fall in' during or after the haraam world cup games. By implication this Sanha observation is directed to Maulana Yunus Patel Sahib who was a 'prophet of doom'. SANHA implied that the 'doom', that is, Allah's Athaab which the Ulama mentioned did not occur, hence it 'proves' that the world cup games were permissible and worthy of support. Please comment on this attitude of SANHA.
Answer
SANHA has emulated the divinely-destroyed nations of Nabi Nooh, Nabi Saalih, Nabi Hood, Nabi Loot and Nabi Shuayb (alayhimus salaam). All these nations who were eliminated and wiped off from the face of the earth with Divine Chastisement had uttered the very same profanity and blasphemy which SANHA has uttered in its 'doom's day' derision directed at Maulana Yunus Patel in particular and in general at the other Ulama who had severely castigated the event of fisq and fujoor.
It was always the attitude of those whom Allah Ta'ala had earmarked for destruction to sarcastically and derisively remark, jeer and mock when the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam) would warn them of Allah's Athaab. SANHA is thus following its forefathers whom the Athaab had annihilated. SANHA's chance will also come. There is no rush and impatience in the Divine Writ. The sky will still fall apart. SANHA can be rest assured of this Divine Promise. Everything has its appointed moment which will not be delayed a second when it is due. Perhaps the following Qur'aanic verses will be salubrious for men of SANHA's ilk, that is, if they still have a semblance of Imaan in their hearts:
"Remember when Shuayb said: 'What do you not fear (Allah's Punishment)? Verily I am for you a trustworthy Messenger. Therefore fear Allah and obey me. ……. Do not spread mischief in the land (with your haraam activities) …………. They (the evil doers)
said: "Verily you are among the magicians. You are nothing but a man like us, and we most certainly think that you are among the liars. Therefore, let a piece of the sky fall on us if you are indeed among the truthful ones. …… They belied (and rejected him). Thus the Punishment of the Day of The Canopy apprehended them. Verily, it was a momentous Day of Punishment (which had utterly eliminated them)." -- Surah As-Shu'raa When the rebellious nation of Nabi Shuayb (alayhis salaam) derisively challenged him on the matter of Allah's punishment, it signified the confirmation of the Divine Decree. Such mockery and derision as SANHA has proclaimed usually precede the Divine Decree. When the moment for the Decree dawned, it
became extremely and unbearably hot.
The people whose region was a densely forested place left their homes and sought refuge under the shade of the trees. Suddenly there appeared a huge dark cloud casting its shade/shadow over the entire region. The rebellious SANHA -type people delightfully came under the shade of the cloud which they perceived to be a blessing for them.
Suddenly there emerged showers of scorching Fire from the Canopy of the Cloud and swiftly the Fire scorched every rebellious transgressor to death. Thus was annihilated the rebellious nation who mocked when the 'sky did not fall apart'. Let SANHA take lesson!
