God's retribution is severe

(Would you like to lose a finger?)




Most of us take God's retribution for granted, some even try to deny the existence of such a retribution by claiming that God unconditionally loves all His creatures regardless of their orientation (God-centered or not).

Before we were sent to this planet, we were all living in another dimension (Paradise), in it we experienced no misery, no pain, no suffering at all, we were perfectly happy,

[20:117] We then said, "O Adam, this is an enemy of you and your wife. Do not let him evict you from Paradise, lest you become miserable.
[20:118] "You are guaranteed never to hunger therein, nor go unsheltered.
[20:119] "Nor will you thirst therein, nor suffer from any heat."

Thus the basic necessities that man needed were generously provided to him, however Satan introduced his idea of assigning powers to the creatures, which enticed Adam and all of us into wanting MORE.

[20:120] But the devil whispered to him, saying, "O Adam, let me show you the tree of eternity and unending kingship."

Some people are never satisfied, they yield to the consumerism mentality of Satan and pursue more and more under the illusion that this more will satisfy their burning desires. This is the path of transgression, not being satisfied with what God provides for you (through His legitimate systems), and wanting more than your needs.

There is a perefct system of distributing provisions, all the inbalance we see and inequality in the world now is because of those who out of greed stole the shares of others.

The fact is that all the vanities of life are but an illusion, if we reverence God and follow His systems of marriage, fair trade, honesty...etc, God will provide us with even more than what we need!

What did Noah say to his people?

[71:10] "I said, `Implore your Lord for forgiveness; He is Forgiving.
[71:11] " `He will then shower you generously with rain.
[71:12] " `And provide you with money and children, and orchards, and streams.' "
[71:13] Why should you not strive to reverence GOD?

Yes, why shouldn't we strive to reverence God? some may argue that many nations already live in abundance and are showered with provisions inspite of their disregarding God!. Well, the facts suggest otherwise, even those developed countries are suffering from terrible inequality among their citizens, high suicide rates, escalating crime rates, drug abuse and incurable diseases...etc!. God leads them on untill their time comes, then they will have to pay for their transgressions either by the retribution or the Hour.

[26:141] Thamoud disbelieved the messengers.
[26:142] Their brother Saaleh said to them, "Would you not be righteous?
[26:143] "I am an honest messenger to you.
[26:144] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me.
[26:145] "I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe.
[26:146] "Do you suppose you will be left forever, secure in this state?
[26:147] "You enjoy gardens and springs.
[26:148] "And crops and date palms with delicious fruits.
[26:149] "You carve out of the mountains luxurious mansions.
[26:150] "You shall reverence GOD, and obey me.
[26:151] "Do not obey the transgressors.
[26:152] "Who commit evil, not good works."  


All these sufferings are because of disregarding God, and instead of relating all power to Him, we relate power to our companies, governments, parents, jobs, spouses even though they may totally oppose righteousness, freedom and justice!.

How many people work (just for money) for companies that destroy human lives and the environment in cold blood! in God's system, we are individually responsible for our lives, who we work for, what we eat and drink, what we offer our families, what we give to charity...etc, obeying the leaders in order to be provided for by them bring nothing but slavery, humiliation and suffering.

Do you think the diseases that strike you or someone near you are haphazard? do you think disease and accidents select their targets at random? It's you who invite these disasters by disobeying God and transgressing beyond the limits, by disregarding Him and following your desires even if they contradict with your basic values!

[30:41] Disasters have spread throughout the land and sea, because of what the people have committed. He thus lets them taste the consequences of some of their works, that they may return (to the right works).


A clear transgression is Homosexuality, some homosexuals actually woke up from Satan's control and now are happily married, however the vast majority of them are blindly following their sinful lusts with no regard for the destructive consequences on the society, and even on their adopted children who will eventually grow up with character disorders!

It is Satan who wants to distort God's creation and design, he wants to be a god besides God.

[7:189] He created you from one person (Adam). Subsequently, He gives every man a mate to find tranquility with her. She then carries a light load that she can hardly notice. As the load gets heavier, they implore GOD their Lord: "If You give us a good baby, we will be appreciative."

[4:119] "I will mislead them, I will entice them, I will command them to (forbid the eating of certain meats by) marking the ears of livestock, and I will command them to distort the creation of GOD." Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord, instead of GOD, has incurred a profound loss.

Homosexuality represents a gross transgression and total surrender to satan and the Jinn companions, these companions have no sense of values, they endorse Satan's views and advocate them wholeheartedly, we don't hate those homosexuals who are stuggling deep inside against their lusts, but we have to warn those who have lost this struggle and completely surrendered to their companion's control, of God's severe retribution that (God willing) will demonstrate itself on the coming 11,9 in San Francisco as per the Quranic prophecy.

[29:28] Lot said to his people, "You commit such an abomination, no one in the world has ever done it before you.
[29:29] "You practice sex with the men, you commit highway robbery, and you allow all kinds of vice in your society." The only response from his people was to say, "Bring to us GOD's retribution, if you are truthful."

Ultimately nobody wishes to lose even a finger! God invites us all to be redeemed by imploring Him for forgivness, and refraining from all kinds of vice and transgressions, and saying No to our sinful lusts, and more importantly remembering and reverencing the majesty of God, Who is watching us, and Who responds to our sincere prayers with mercy and provisions.

[2:165] Yet, some people set up idols to rival GOD, and love them as if they are GOD. Those who believe love GOD the most. If only the transgressors could see themselves when they see the retribution! They will realize then that all power belongs to GOD alone, and that GOD's retribution is awesome.


God gains nothing from punishing you, it's you who bring yourself suffering by accepting satan's invitations and transgressing the limits. In order to keep yourself balanced, you should start reverencing God and imploring Him, that He may redeem you into His mercy and shower you with His provisions.


[10:98] Any community that believes will surely be rewarded for believing.
For example, the people of Jonah: when they believed, we relieved the humiliating retribution they had been suffering in this world, and we made them prosperous.
