Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people today say that the scarcity of rain we experience and the punishments that befall us are not due to sins and disobedience. They argue that the disbelievers have more sins and disobedience than we do, yet they live in comfort and ease.
Answer:
He is ignorant. Moreover, he does not know the Qur'an nor does he reflect upon it. The Qur'an mentions that they are lured on by blessings, while the believers are tested through calamities, and their sins are expiated. This is what is understood, and it is not that he is an atheist, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
