Hamza Ali Abbasi Urges People to Stop Calling Coronavirus a ‘Punishment’

Hamza Ali Abbasi has raised a valid point on the ongoing debate on Coronavirus, particularly on Pakistani social media where some segments are calling the epidemic a form of punishment on the Chinese nation for suppressing its Muslim communities.

Azaab (Punishment) in this world only “comes to ‘munkireen’ (deniers) of a Rasool when he is among them,” tweeted Hamza.

The actor then went to explain the context of his tweet as he urged people to stop calling the deadly virus an Azaab.

“For the rest, there is the Judgment Day. Whether it be a virus outbreak or an earthquake, these are means to bring death on center stage as a reminder for all. Show sympathy. May Allah protect us all,” he wrote.

“So to those who are branding such incidents as Azaab in this world for whatever reason, STOP. Don’t make a mockery out of Allah’s deen and instead, help in any way U can or at least pray for the affected and for those who are helping them and trying to find a cure,” the Waar actor concluded as he tried to knock sense into keyboard warriors.
