Maryam Amir – Why doesnt God stop them

			I have heard people ask, where is
Allah? Where is God when children
		

			are being murdered? Right now, in
Raza, there are over 700 children
		

			who have been killed. And it's
understandable that when we feel
		

			so powerless, we look to whom we
know is full of power, the all
		

			powerful, Allah. But I want to
show you something
		

			I know that might seem completely
unrelated, but would you ever say
		

			that God is the one who didn't
stop me from dropping that stuffed
		

			animal? I know it's a benign
example, but where are we placing
		

			responsibility and accountability?
God created us with free will
		

			given very clear guidelines on how
to use that free will for justice
		

			and the protection of innocent
lives. When we put the onus of
		

			responsibility on God, on Allah,
we then also absolve full
		

			responsibility from the murderers,
the perpetrators. There is a
		

			reason why we have a day of
judgment. A function of the Day of
		

			Judgment is to give full justice
to those who never receive justice
		

			that no matter how many courts try
someone who is responsible for
		

			genocide and war crimes and
apartheid and occupation and
		

			everything else, it will never be.
There's no punishment that could
		

			ever suffice the amount of people,
of innocent civilians that have
		

			been harmed and killed and
murdered and murdered and
		

			massacred and displaced. In the
Quran, there's a verse that says,
		

			Do not think that God is unaware
of what the oppressors or the
		

			wrongdoers do, that he is just
giving them biding their time
		

			until a day when there will be
horrors. I know it's hard to hold
		

			on to faith when there's so much
pain, but listen to a woman from
		

			Russia speaking about herself and
her child, Allah Abu Asmaa,
		

			highlighted for
		

			bed with a better hair will handle
me not to feel as regular Abdullah
		

			ibn Anglo, Let's knee. Bogoli ma
and has a speed. Demo, mood bagula
		

			Shake that will has a speed. The
mood bus mish with the mood be
		

			there.
		

			Should eat Subhanallah remains
made killing male account,
		

			you can hear bombs in the
background of that voice note.
		

			It's not the people there who are
suffering, who are asking, Where
		

			is God? It's all of us who are
watching from the comfort of our
		

			homes. So remember to put the
blame of accountability on the
		

			oppressor. Know that there's a day
of judgment for a reason, and ask
		

			ourselves, what are we doing when
we have the power and the
		

			privilege to make a difference?
