Why are mosques closed down in Saudi Arabia?

The grand mosque in Mecca where the Kaaba is is closed down because of a virus, I thought Allah is the most powerful and all-knowing?

In addition, the mosque in Medinah which is the Prophet's mosque is also closed down.

Allamdullillah for being a Muslim
a religious that guides us on every life aspect.
we Muslim believe that Allah is testing our faith with this pandemic.
And the teachings of our greatest prophet peace been upon him say when ever there is a pandemic no one should leave that place ( i.e don't run away because you may not know you have it or not) nor he should enter. i.e on daily basis Muslims from all over the globe are constantly entering into the masjid then we look at above teaching to restrict access of the masjid to people healthy there.

That's why the mosque is closed. Because Allah is "the most powerful and all-knowing".

Because you tie your � camel then pray to God that it is not stolen.

Take precautions and pray. That is the rule of Islam.

Good question. This is even an opportunity to obey their prophet's instructions and embrace plague and die like martyr. Since martyrs in Islam are promised automatic ticket to heaven.
This is the time to embrace plagues by Muslims

Narrated By Abu Huraira
The Prophet said, "He (a Muslim) who dies of an abdominal disease is a a martyr, and he who dies of plague is a martyr." Sahih Bukhari 7:71:623

Why are the people of Saudi not embracing opportunity to be a martyr? And why are they preventing other Muslims to come and die of plagues in the Holy land?

Muhammad promised paradise to martrys
Narrated By Jabir bin 'Abdullah
On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet and said, "Can you tell me where I will be if I should get martyred?"The Prophet replied, "In Paradise." The man threw away some dates he was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred. Al Bukhari 5:59:377

The Council of Senior Scholars on Friday prayer and prayers in congregation, and the spread of COVID-19

The Council of Senior Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issued its statement no. 246 on 16/7/1441 AH, the text of which is as follows:

All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon all of his family and companions.

To proceed:

The Council of Senior Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in their twenty-fourth extraordinary meeting, which was held in the city of Riyadh on Wednesday 16/7/1441 AH, examined the questions that were presented to them regarding the concession of not attending Friday (Jumu‘ah) prayer and congregational prayers in the event of an epidemic or fear of an epidemic. After studying the issue in the light of the Islamic texts and the objectives and guidelines of sharia, and in the light of statements of the people of knowledge regarding issues of this nature, the Council of Senior Scholars has issued the following statement:

-1-
It is prohibited for a person infected with this virus to attend Friday prayers and prayers in congregation, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, “Sick (camels) should not be put with healthy (camels)." [Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim], and because he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, "If you hear of the outbreak of a plague in a land, do not enter it; and if it breaks out in a land in which you are, do not leave it." [al-Bukhaari and Muslim].

-2-
If a specialized body determines that medical quarantine or isolation is to be imposed on someone, it is obligatory for him to comply with that, and to not attend Friday prayers or prayers in congregation. Therefore he should offer the prayers at home or in the place where he is quarantined. This is because of the report narrated by as-Shareed ibn Suwayd ath-Thaqafi, who said, "Among the delegation from Thaqeef there was a man with leprosy. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) sent word to him, saying, 'We have accepted your oath of allegiance, so go back.'" [Narrated by Muslim}

-3-
If anyone fears that he may be harmed or may harm others, it is permissible for him to not attend the Friday prayer and prayers in congregation, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, "There should be neither harm nor reciprocating harm." [Narrated by Ibn Majah].

In all these cases, if he does not attend Friday prayer, he must pray Dhuhr with four rak‘ahs.

The Council of Senior Scholars advises everyone to follow the instructions, guidelines and protocols issued by specialized bodies.

They also advise everyone to fear Allah, the Most Mighty and Exalted, and to turn to Him in supplication and humility, and to ask Him to grant relief from this tribulation.

Allah, may He be exalted, says:

“And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful." [Yoonus 10:107]

“And your Lord says, ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you.’” [Ghaafir 40:60].

May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions.

Tintingz has really gone low in his rational thinking (that's even if you make use of it at all). So if you have malaria now, you're expected to pray to God to heal it and not make any attempt on it at all? Or if you in the middle of the express and 2 trailers are racing at your direction, so you just pray to God move you out of the express road right?
