Ali Ataie – Palestine Suffers from the Injustice Committed Others

And no bearer of burdens bears the burden

of another. According to our teachers, this statement

is referring to the akhirah. In this world,

we suffer the consequences of the sins of

those who came before us. This happens all

the time. This is happening now. If I,

you know, commit murder, na'udhubillah,

and I go

to prison, my wife and kids will suffer

due to my sin. They are innocent of

my sin, but their lives in this dunya

will be turned upside down. If political leadership

or people in positions of power or influence

or even just individuals make bad decisions,

innocent people could end up suffering and dying.

This is simply what happens in the dunya.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala warns us in the

Quran, believers should not take disbelievers as allies

instead of the believers, and whoever does so

has nothing to do with Allah. How much

have the Palestinians

suffered for the injustices committed by others?
