The Consequences Of Opposing The Messengers & Its Destructive Effects by Nobody: 5:45pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
Whoever has awareness of the circumstances of
the world and its fundamentals will know that
all corruption in its sphere and in its plant and
animal life and in the circumstances of its
people which have come into being after its
creation, have done so due to factors which
have necessitated their coming into effect.
The actions of the progeny of Aadam and their
opposition to the Messengers do not cease to
bring about corruptions for themselves both
universally as well as specifically which inflict
upon them an array of pains, diseases,
illnesses, plagues and withheld rain seasons
and droughts, as well as being deprived of the
blessings of the earth and its fruits and
vegetation. As well as being deprived of their
benefit or the complete loss of them; are all
affairs successive – some of them ensuing
others.
If your knowledge cannot encompass this, then
suffice with His saying, The Most High:
ﻇﻬﺮ ﺍﻟﻔﺴﺎﺩ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﺒﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﺤﺮ ﺑﻤﺎ ﻛﺴﺒﺖ ﺃﻳﺪﻱ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ
((Corruptions have appeared upon the
land and sea due to what the hands of
people have earned.)) (Ar-Rūm: 41)
And so relate this aayah upon the
circumstances of the world; and correlate
between the actual state of affairs and between
it. You will see just how predicaments and
disorders come to have an effect in fruits and
agriculture and in animals at every time. As
well as how other correlative and
accompanying tribulations occur by way of
these tribulations with some following others
in close succession.
Every time a people apply oppression and
wickedness then their Lord, The Blessed, and
Most High, brings about for them from the
predicaments and disorders in their sustenance
and their fruits and in their climates and their
waters and in their bodies and their physical
constitutions and in their forms and
appearances as well as in their manners from
certain deficiencies and predicaments of a
nature that their own actions and their
oppressions and their wicked ways should
necessitate.
For indeed the grains of wheat and other than
them used to be bigger than what they are
today. Just as the blessing within them too
used to be greater, Imaam Ahmad reports with
his chain of narration: that there were found in
the storehouses of some of the Umayyads
bales of wheat the like of date-stones and
written on them was:
‘These were cultivated in the days of justice.’
He mentioned this incident in his Musnad after
a hadeeth which he reported.
And so the majority of these epidemics and
general predicaments are the remnants of
punishments which the nations before were
punished with. Hence there remained from
them a remnant lying in wait, for whoever
continues upon the remnant of their actions; as
a fair judgment and a just ruling.
The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)
indicated this in his saying regarding the
epidemic/plague:
((Indeed it is a remnant of punishment or
chastisement that was sent upon the
Bani Isra-eel [children of Israel].))[1]
Likewise Allaah, The Glorified, and Most High,
imposed the wind over a people for seven
nights and eight days. He then caused a
remnant of it to remain in the world from
those very days. In its parallel there is lesson
and warning.
For indeed; Allaah, The Glorified, has made the
actions of the righteous and the wretched as
necessary factors of their own consequences in
this world – an inevitability which must
necessarily be so.
So He made the abstention of showing
goodness and giving the Zakaat and charity as a
means of being prevented from the rains of
the heavens, hence rainlessness and drought.
He made the oppression of the impoverished
and the wronging in the weights and measures
and the transgressions of the powerful over the
weak as a reason for the tyrannies of the
sovereigns and the rulers who exercise no
mercy when implored for mercy neither do
they show compassion when asked for
sympathy.
They are in reality the very actions of the
citizens which become manifest in the
appearances of their rulers. For indeed; Allaah,
The Glorified, by His Wisdom and Justice,
makes their own actions apparent for the
people in models and appearances which befit
them. So at times this is realized through
rainlessness and drought, and at times through
an enemy, and at others by way of brutal and
tyrannical rulers, and other times through mass
epidemic. Yet at other times it could be
through distresses and pains and sorrows that
their souls are made to be in the presence of
and cannot detach from them. On other
occasions it could be by way of being prevented
from the blessings of the heavens and the
earth, and at times through the devils holding
sway over them, inciting them toward the
factors constituting punishment in incitement –
so as to establish over them the statement (of
proof). This is in order that each and every one
of them should proceed to that which he was
created to carry out.
The intelligent one traverses with his
discernment throughout the regions of the
world, and hence is a witness to it – and
observes the sites that signify the Justice of
Allaah as well as His Wisdom. It then becomes
clear to him that the Messengers and their
relevant followers were upon the path to
success; and that the rest of creation is
traversing upon the path to destruction, and to
the abode of perdition upon which they are
seeking to stay.
Allaah is sure to accomplish His purpose, there
is none who can defer His ordinance, no one
who can repel His affair; and with Allaah lies all
ability.

[1] The full hadeeth: on the authority of
Usaamah bin Zaid (radhiyallaahu ‘anhumaa) that
the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)
mentioned the epidemic/plague and said: ((It
is a remnant of punishment or chastisement
that was sent upon a group from the Bani
Isra-eel [children of Israel]. So when it
occurs in a land whilst you are in it, then do
not exit from it, and when it occurs in a land
while you are not in it, then do not descend
[enter] upon it.)) Reported by at-Tirmidhee
(no.1065) who declared it Hasan Saheeh
(soundly authentic). Shaikh al-Albaanee
declared it Saheeh (authentic) in his Saheeh
Sunan at-Tirmidhee (no.1065) and likewise in
his Saheeh al-Jaami’ as-Sagheer (no.3945).
