Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Why did Allah (Exalted and Majestic) conclude the verse in which He says, “Have you made the provision of water for the pilgrims…,” with the phrase
And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
[At-Tawbah 9:19]


Answer:
Yes, indeed. Injustice varies; some injustice is that of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and disbelief, and some is less than that. Injustice varies. So, the one who prefers the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque and the provision of water for the pilgrims over [other duties]—this is a type of injustice. It is not the injustice that expels one from the religion, nor is it major injustice. No, this is a type of injustice.
