Given the worldwide calamity of our time, I came across an Arabic video which I translated below, that touched me and felt compelled to share it with you too – it’s entitled: A letter from Corona (Virus):
(Originally written by Dr. Al-Qorat Daghiy in Arabic)
I believe now you know of me.
I have changed life as you know it, like an earthquake. I have caused defects in the political, economic and social systems. You witnessed my strength in Asia and how I took the lead in China and extended from the eastern to the western hemispheres very quickly. No borders can prevent me entrance and no barriers can stop me. I have shaken even the brilliant minds and formed a new consumption system – a lifestyle that no person in this century has experienced thus far.
Previously, I appeared with the name called ‘SARS’ and today I have returned with the name ‘CORONA’. I have instilled anxiety and worry in people worldwide. There is no difference to me between the governors and subordinates, the wealthy and the poor, nor geographical locations whether the east or the west. I stood up against the unjust economy that you estimated to be 6 Trillion Dollars. I have caused losses for the world’s billionaires making the stock market topple coloring the markets in red. I stopped the navigation and airline industry. I caused worldwide isolation making everyone stay in their homes and stopped them from going to bars, parties, halls, and even religious gatherings. I prevented the presidents and ministers from gathering together, so they can only meet in their rooms virtually on the internet. Some see me as a calamity sent to you from God. While others may see me as a soldier from among God’s soldiers.
Concerns, I carry the following messages:
1.Your silence and lies when the world became full of injustice and corruption. You did not stop or stand up to those who were unjust, killing unjustly and for some people burning them alive. Rather, you stood beside such oppressors and supported them for your own personal and economic benefits.
2. You are very late in defending the unjust people and you supported the killer ruler. So I wanted to remind you of the refugees who lost their land and were left astray in some places with no help from anyone. If you had given them only 5% of what you spend, they would have lived a good life.
3. Your social stratification – I wanted to remind you of the poor and needy in this world that has reached 1 Billion people today. These people do not own or have enough for their daily sustenance. If you spent on them 10% of what you are paying to be away from me, those poor and needy people would become wealthy.
4. You made fun and devalued the opportunities for employment (jobs at grocery stores). I wanted to remind you of the tens of millions of people without employment. If you only allowed for them 2.5% of what you take (dominate), they would all have employment opportunities available for them.
5. Finally, most of you have forgotten Allah, God the Creator and Manager of this world and instead made your highest focus and priority on money. Until most of you became as if you worship money, so I came to remind you of your lord, the Creator. [God is the Creator of harm and benefit, not me. I can only harm you if God has eternally willed for you to be harmed and Creates for you harm in the form of illness.]
In summary, I remind you that I am going even after a while, but I will come back again once or numerous times with new names and with it, I will nave new messages.
