[perthbashi] Corona Virus As A Reminder [3 Attachments]

A microscopic creature has shaken the mankind as if we are completely helpless.

We are helpless although the politicians are “fighting” against it – it’s their job to say so, let them say. We can’t even defend us from this creature, let alone “fight” – we are just running away from it.

We are running away from it in this era of ‘medicine’, we ran away in the era of ‘no medicine’. We will run away even if we can vaccine 7 billion people in one shot – because every time it appears, it appears differently.

Appearance is different, so it’s magnitude. The better we learn to escape by creating awareness globally, the greater it impacts us by using our globalisation.

Globally we have named it epidemic. It comes, it goes, and we label it as our victory – such a strong mankind! 

Mankind always appreciated it’s strength out of arrogance – in the time of A’d, in the time of Thamud, in the time of Pharaohs, in the time of Romans – the strongest of all nations in the human history. We think that we are stronger than ever with the blessings of science and technology. Perhaps we are becoming weaker and weaker with such blessings – we have proven so by fighting over toilet rolls. 

Perhaps such epidemic comes as a punishment or as a trial to the mankind. But for sure it is a reminder what Allah reminds us – “And Allah wants to lighten you (your difficulties) and humankind was created weak” [Surah Nisa Verse 28]

Indeed. Humankind is weak. Seeking His forgiveness and mercy is the way to get His help where there is no other help to lighten our difficulties.
