Pulpit and reality in the time of the coronavirus

2020. március 18. - 17:16

I look at the many disgusting figures who, clinging to the Koran or the Bible in their hands are spreading the word.

Meanwhile, more and more people are unable to heat, annoying themselves what to give their child to eat. People don't even watch TV because those are completely useless, as today the mobile telephone replaces everything. The news is available on it and if the kid is crying, you can give it to him/her to watch the tales.

These Martians all think that they have to push themselves into a character-space and spread their teachings coming from the past instead of bread and wood. My eyes were itching so far by so many church junk-dumps, but now, especially during the coronavirus it is itching even more. Emotions are heightened, there is a panic mood, and those who have interests take advantage out of it. It's the theme everywhere, the fright, the dread, the buying fever overwhelmed the families, at least in places where still remained a little money to buy

Let me state in advance: the coronavirus is a reality and a serious matter. Disciplined behavior that is followed at individual level is more important than any other official measure. But let's look at the other consequences of the present state. Some of the weak participants in the economy, small shops, commercial units, service providers are being bankrupted and replaced by those who have reserves, who are engaged in a variety of activities, are in strong capital environment, and so on. And the administration can play its role, writing, directing, and performing a drama in which an emergency arises then comes a savior who arranges everything and rescues. Often the trouble must also be produced in order to have a reason to rescue the people from. In this way, even a weak power can prove its strength and effectiveness. Moreover, the problem can be alliable with migrants and foreigners, so the negative campaign based on migration gets a new meaning. I do not deny that, if I look at it objectively, there is a truth in this statement, but not in the context as the drama is performed for us according to the actual political interests.

And now, let us scan our Muslims in Austria, Germany, where they occur on mass level. At this very time when they should not just show their Islam at hijab and beard level and could demonstrate what a true Muslim attitude is, they are buying hysterically everything, leaving the stores empty. Is this the fate that we have to endure? Is that the inner peace what should reflect out of us? Is our duty and part of our covenant with Allah to illustrate that peace as an example? Is this the virtue of which the noblest practitioners stand at Allah's face ahead? Who are you? Now show what the regular washing, use of right and left hand, discipline is worth for!

Religiously it is forbidden to overbuy or stock up goods! Would you deny the providence of Allah from others? If so, there shall be those who get surplus, and others who get nothing. Our rule is different! If you buy up goods and distribute them to those who cannot participate in purchasing, you are doing the right thing, but that is not the case. The goods will be accumulated in your warerooms and most of it will spoil. You're wasting what could help others. This is a sin! And what is this fear of death? Are you not going to die once? Or do you have a contract for eternal life? Death is certain, life is not.

"Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah.; but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah." But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact? (Quran 4:28)

It will be what it should be and you cannot influence it. Maybe only with discipline, with the rules of hygiene and health that apply to you.

And now a few words about the positive effects of the coronavirus, that can we thank for it?
Thank you for finally seeing the real face, ego, character of people.
Thank you for seeing which employer fires the employees and transfers them to the social welfare system of the state in order to avoid financial damages.
Thank you for seeing the human policies of multinational companies, their mass layoffs, their money rescuing. Thank you for seeing what the health system can do for us.
Thank you for making it clear what the state is capable of, and its inability to act within legal frameworks if it is not complemented by appropriate human attitudes.
Thank you for seeing who we are in the reality, to what extent are we prepared for the trials spiritually and physically.
Thank you for seeing that we are nothing and you, Lord, with the smallest of your creatures, are capable of provoking this panic, the sense of the end of the world that we could be overcome with faith and self-control. Amen.
