Question
Are countries such as the so -called Islamic Republic of Pakistan under Allah's Athaab? We see moral decadence and immorality of all kinds in many Muslim countries, even worse than in some non-Muslim countries.
Answer
The entire Ummah is under the Athaab of Allah Ta'ala. Some Muslim nations are undergoing mild forms of punishment mentioned in the Qur'aan as 'the lesser punishment". When this punishment is not heeded, then the greater punishment overtakes us such as the horrors in Syria, Burma, the floods in Bangladesh, the earthquakes in different lands, and the internecine wars in Pakistan as well as other calamities. Pakistan is under Allah's Athaab, and the great Athaab will still befall Saudi Arabia.
