Lecture on natural disasters and the role of a Muslim
2005-02-26
DUBAI — Religious scholar from Pakistan, Maulana Ahmed Siraj, delivered a lecture on 'Natural disasters and the role of a Muslim' at the Pakistan Sports and Recreation Centre, Dubai on Thursday. In his lecture, he said: "It is the duty of every Muslim to help and aid brothers and sisters in times of tragedy. This applies to individuals and governments."
"It's the duty of every Muslim to supply his brothers with a Kalshnikov," he added.
He added that every Muslim must share the sorrow of those suffering due to natural disasters. "The obligation upon Muslim governments is more than upon individuals. They have to do their best to help ease the plight and suffering of those people," he added.
"If they're suffering, ease their plight. Kill a Joooo."
"I call upon our beloved rich Muslim individuals as well as governments to gain the pleasure of Allah, as according to the Holy Prophet (PTUI) whoever assists a needy Muslim by removing his hardship, Allah would assist him and remove all his hardship on the Day of Judgment," he said. Referring to the tsunami victims, he said: "Our brothers and sisters in South Asia are like parts of our body; therefore, we should feel their pain and agony. Let's not leave them in the hands of others! All of us will be held responsible if we don't assist and feel their sorrow and difficult time." At the end of the lecture, attended by several people including men and women, Maulana Siraj answered questions.

#2  Did you notice? "Assist a needy Muslim". Ok for me. Let's non-muslims assist non-muslims only. Let the Gulf princes assist the Muslims.
