 Asalaamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters, the veil has been lifted and it's clear that the modern Saudi government's action have attracted the attention of Allah the most merciful and just. He has chosen to send us a warning especially to the blessed bath place of Islam. We are well aware that the Saudi crown prince's vision includes making the country more like Europe, which is good. This involves promoting activities like forbidding concerts and welcoming questionable role models into the country. Additionally, some of the policies being adopted may seem to go against the teachings of our faith. What deeply is troubling is that those who dare to oppose these changes or remind the authorities of their responsibility and preserve Islamic civilization risk facing arrests. We cannot forget in a hurry the Imam who is currently in prison by simply advising the crown prince to reconsider some of his decisions. Sheikh Salih al-Talib, who was the previous Imam at the Masjid of Mecca, was arrested and sent us to 10 years. What did he say that caused him to be arrested? Here is a clip of the sermon. But in these challenging times, let us remember that Allah is the ultimate source of guidance and wisdom. He has chosen to communicate with us in a way that leaves us no room for doubt. Multiple times this year, locus have descended upon various parts of Saudi Arabia, right? In our sacred scriptures, the appearance of locus has often served us a warning from Allah, particularly to those who transgress the bounds of the law, disobey his commands. Mecca, the holy city for Muslims, is currently facing a peculiar and unsettling situation. Locals and tourists alike are frustrated in trying to figure out how to deal with the unwelcome guests who are disrupting prayers in daily life. Black grasshoppers, cockroaches, and locusts have been swarming the city, causing chaos and annoyance to both pilgrims and locals. Many people have had to cover their faces and heads during prayers to avoid the pesky insects from interrupting their religious rituals. The source of the infestation is still a mystery. Following a recent spell of harsh weather in the country, the whole world witnessed remarkable events in the heart of Mecca. Lightning struck the dome of an iconic structure, housing a clock striking it multiple times. While some in the mainstream might dismiss these as mere act of nature, we as people of faith understand that there is a deeper message for us in Saudi Arabia. It appears Allah is expressing his displeasure with the way the country seemed to be moving away from the path of truth and embracing Western influence that could lead us to a Perilous destiny. The Saudi government is implementing policies and programs that clearly contradict the principles of Islam. Now we are witnessing the invasion of locusts on usual storms and lightning strikes in Saudi Arabia. This is not merely a climate crisis but a clear warning from God. Some people see the invasion of insects in Mecca as a special sign. Insects have been an integral part of various cultures, with many believing that they have magical powers. For some, insects like the grasshopper, scarab and butterfly became totos, while for others they held significant religious and spiritual meanings. In sacred texts, bees, because they carry honey, symbolize fertility and spring. The Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert believe that mantises could look into the soul and predict the future as they were once human. Locusts, on the other hand, have long been regarded as a symbol of devastation and disease in ancient times. To emphasize the gravity of this warning and how Allah reacts to apostasy, consider this video. A sign from God. Just hours after the Pope announced his surprise resignation, the heavens over Rome opened and the top of St Peter's Basilica was struck by lightning. From the day Pope Benedict, who was named for his critical stands toward Islam, announced his resignation in Rome. Allah sent a clear sign as lightning striking the Dome of St Peter's in Rome around 9 20 am during a heavy rainstorm. Although no damage was reported, those in the vicinity, including the Swiss guards and local shop owners felt the impact of this event. Later in his life, Pope Benedict acknowledged that Islam worships the true God. This serves as a reminder of how Allah communicate with us through signs and warnings when we deviate from the right path. The 100 foot statue of Jesus Christ hovering over Rio de Janeiro was hit by lightning. The stunning scene was captured during a flash storm which hit the coast of Brazil on Friday. The bolt of flash struck the head of the statue and turned the sculpture into a God figure. The stunning scene was captured by Fernando Barca who shared the pictures on Instagram. The mind blowing pictures have gone viral on social media. This is another video of lightning striking an image of Jesus in Brazil. It suggests that God does not want his name associated with a human or his image on earth. And the biblical book of Exodus a lot specifically condemns the years of images to represent himself or angels. This picture is from Ohio USA. It was on June 4th 2010 when a 62 foot Kings of Kings statue burned down after being struck by lightning. Instead of learning from this the custodians of Jesus' image are the solid rock church replaced the burnt statue in 2012. The statue is officially called Linux Monday which means light of the world in Latin. As a devoted Muslim the implication of what seems to be a widespread apostasy in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic nations happening in broad daylight is a cause of concern. However we take comfort in the fact that our beloved prophet Muhammad peace be upon him wonders about such occurrences. One well-known hadith often cited in discussions about apostasy and the end time is the hadith of the great apostasy or the are will not come until these hadith will be found in several hadith collection including Sahih Amboqari and Sahih Muslim. One common version of these hadith reads as follows the are will not come until tribes of my nation join the idolaters and worship idols there will be in my nation 30 liars each claiming to be a prophet. However I am the seal on the prophets in reality and there will be no prophet after me. It appears that this is the are the hadith speak-off and it's really pathetic please like share and subscribe tell me what you think in the comments until next time as-salamu alaykum
