  • When Allah wants to destroy a nation, He takes away Haya/modest form the heart of that society! (< REALLY?)


    • There's a hadith with similar wording. Can't seem to find it now though.

    Why would Allah swt want to destroy a nation?

    Because they aren't listening to him?

    Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

    Everybody dies.

    The only alternative to some sort of end to things is that life is eternal and everyone gets unlimited opportunities.

    Besides there is hikmah to destruction too. It can also be for good.

    A young person can die early in order to prevent a life of sin while a sinner may be given a long life in order to gain better opportunities to repent.

    Every ending is a begining.

    As an example one of the biggest recent calamities in the Muslim world was the destruction of the ottoman empire almost a century ago. However even in this there is goodness as previously unbreakable walls have been shattered and non Muslims in then opposing countries of the Ottoman empire can now see islam without the shackles of the old world.

    In the end this may result in a greater number of people finding salvation that if the old world order had continued.

    Yep.

    The nations who were destroyed in the past have been mentioned throughout the Quran for a reason.

    Is it unfair that people who were born in 18something (let's say) have two extra centuries years in grave compared to someone who dies today?


    would you want to live for so long?
