In a previous thread (which almost have been omitted), I said: I believe this virus is a man-made virus.. now I retreat from that, and I think, it is the punishment of God to the wrong-doers and blasphemers and it may have very bad consequences.. because I find in the Quran, an aya which explains this situation.
[God – be glorified – gave an example of the stingy or the miser, who withholds the due rights of the poor, and does not expend in the way of God; so He said in the Quran 7: 58, which means:]
(As for the good land a: its vegetation comes forth by the leave of its Lord; and the corrupt b: the [plant of their land] comes forth only scantily c.
Even so We turn about the revelations d for a people that are thankful [to God for His bounties.]e)
.............................................................................
58 a i.e. the land inhabited by good people, whose rich people expend on the poor and their powerful men show mercy to the weak among them; the plant of its land comes good, ample, growing and fruitful by God's leave; so that He drives the cloud to their region, and the rain comes down on their land, so their plant will grow, their land fertility will increase and their fruits will multiply.
58 b i.e. the land inhabited by bad people: so that their powerful men do not show mercy to the weak among them, neither do their rich men expend on the poor among them.
58 c i.e. but only hard and little without blessings; because they withhold the due rights of the poor, so God withholds from them the blessings of their plant and prosperity.
58 d i.e. We expound and explain the revelations in many ways.
58 e i.e. they expend on the poor and needy, and so they show gratitude to God for His bounties; that is because the gratitude is two kinds: one kind is by words, and the other kind is by work, and the word should be accompanied by work.
