Why Are Muslims Suffering

Mufti Mahmood Saheb

* Hazrat Hasan (R) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) said: “By Him in whose control is my life! Any scratch, twitching of veins, slipping of the foot or a flying stone suddenly striking the body; all are due to the committing of sins”.

* Hazrat Abu Musa (RA) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) said: “A wound or any slighter calamity is due to the commission of sins.”

* Hazrat Imraan bin Husain (RA) once felt ill. People came to pay him a visit and expressed their condolences. He replied: “What is achieved by condolences? This is due to some sin I have committed.”

* Hazrat Dahhak (RA) reports that: “A person who forgets the Quran after learning it is due to committing sins.” Thereafter he recited this verse and said: “What could be a greater calamity than forgetting the Quran?”

* Once Hazrat Asma binte Abu Bakr (RA) experienced a headache. She exclaimed: “This is due to my sins.” – DurreManthoor, Ibne-Katheer.
