Issue 227 Thursday, 2 Sha'ban 1441 Editorial بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The psychological defeat of people has reached the extent that they describe America and its allies in a way that cannot be attributed to mankind, such as all-knowing and all-capable. They think that nothing happens in the world without its knowledge, matters are not achieved without its approval, and everything is within its capabili- ties. Hence, people worshiped it, other than Allah, out of fear and greed, and they sought its satisfaction and feared its wrath, even if they angered their Lord. Therefore, many people explain major events based on these false beliefs. Whatever happens, they think that America knows about it beforehand, and that it wants it to happen! Noting can be hidden from the ears and eyes of its intelligence. Nothing happens without the approval of its leaders. Its politicians and army can prevent ev- erything! Glory be to Him and exalted be He in high exaltation above what they describe. We then find some of the people of misguidance, who falsely claim being Muslims, fear America in their actions more than they fear Allah. They try their best to fulfill its wishes, even be- fore it asks, for they believe that they cannot achieve anything for them- selves without its satisfaction. Al- though some of them might try to convince their followers that they only pretend to make America satisfied, and do what angers it in secret, most of them think that it knows their secrets. Therefore, they seek to satisfy it in se- cret as well as in public. They worship America at all times, as if they see it before them. Even if they do not feel its direct presence, they are certain that it can see them in its absence. There is no might nor power except with Allah. Also, this is why those people do not think that an enemy of America can exist without its satisfaction or its help to reach achievements, about which they are unaware. Moreover, they at- tributed to America everything that happens on earth that afflicts people, whether good or bad. If there is a drought in a country, they say America prevented rain from it. If a country is flooded with rain, they say America directed winds to carry clouds to it. If an earthquake hits a city, they say America moved the ground under- neath it. If a government is stable in a country, they say America is satisfied with it, and if the people rebelled against a government, they say Ameri- ca provoked them and made them leave their houses to topple it. Moreover, some of them reach a level of foolishness to which when they can- not find justification for the disasters and crises that hit America, based on their shirk ideology. Instead, they claim that America caused these disas- ters to itself. It harms its citizens, dam- ages its economy, and destroys its homeland in order to achieve some goal that will benefit it sooner or later! And when they cannot figure out that goal, they use myths and lies, made by people who use science and facts, to justify their logic. We have seen, over the last few months and during the big tribulation, how those who believe in America have changed their stance back and forth. At the beginning, when it started in the land of the kufri China, they posit- ed that America created the disease. It did so to weaken their power and de- stroy their economy because China competes with America. They know not that the origin of that story is the tawaghit of China themselves after they were criticized by other mushrik partners for not limiting the disease before it spread in the country. Then, when the disease spread and in- vaded Crusader countries that are al- lied with America, especially in Eu- rope, and after China declared its recovery from it, the ignorant ones continued in their ignorance and claimed that the reason the disease spread in Europe is to reduce the num- ber of elderly because they cost their countries a lot of money! They claimed that this took place in collaboration between America and the govern- ments of these countries, despite all the disasters the people witnessed that be- fell these countries, their citizens, and their economy. Finally, when the disease reached America itself and infected tens of thousands of its citizens, the ignorant ones gave another reason, in addition to reducing the number of elders. They claimed that America is willing to bear all the huge losses that will oc- cur to them and their economy, and the major risks that will threaten their security and their society, in order to hit other countries with even bigger damages, before America survives the tribulation and comes out of it stron- ger and with more influence over the world! This tribulation and all the events that accompanied it, without a doubt, is an ayah made clear to them to wake up, if they are smart enough. Allah’s will, good or bad, shall hit people and can- not be prevented, no matter how pow- erful and advanced people on earth have become. Neither America nor any other nation can protect its citizens from the will of Allah. Neither America nor any other nation can lift the tribulation that hit them unless Allah decides it. Neither America nor any other nation are able to decide what is going to happen to them tomorrow. Misguided are those who worship America and misguided are those who fear it, instead of fearing Allah. Misguided are those in this life and in the Akhirah. Allah says: “Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?’ Say: ‘(It is) Al- lah.’ Say: ‘Do ye then take (for wor- ship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?’ Say: ‘Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?’ Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: ‘Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Su- preme and Irresistible’" (Ar-Ra’ad 16) "Such as Have No Power Either for Good or for Harm to Themselves.." - Coronavirus as an Example
