“FLU OR PLAGUE”
One of the Wives of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “O
Rasulullah! During the night I heard you making a dua. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“Verily, I supplicated to Allah that my Ummah should not be destroyed by
means of famine. This was granted to me. And, I supplicated that internecine warfare should not plague my Ummah. This was denied to me. Then I said:
‘In that case, Flu or Plague (thrice).”
Muslims should now understand well that whether it is a flu or a plague which wrought mass destruction with millions perishing, for the true Mu’mineen it is a blessing and the means of Shahaadat while for the
kuffaar and Munaafiqeen, and the villainously evil fussaaq / fujjaar Muslims, it is an Athaab.
