The world is facing disaster upon disaster every day and people are expecting a major catastrophe. The deeds that have been forbidden by God are being committed openly. The evils are increasing, while the virtues are fading out gradually. Tyranny, oppression and carnage are going on, liars and cheats are overcoming. Terrorism, bribery, corruption, evil, nudity, vulgarity and wickedness have assaulted the world. It seems we have reached inferno before the Last Day. History tells us that such a situation arises when people are being cursed by God.
It is feared that members of the previous generations will be accountable for their individual deeds on the Day of Judgement, but present generation will be thrown as a whole into hell after a collective prosecution, because the nobles of this generation remained as silent spectators instead of restraining the scamps from committing, cruelty, sins and misdeeds.
The Divine punishment to an ancient civilization seconds this fear. There were three groups during that period. One was of knaves, the second was of the people who did good deeds but did not halt the disobedients from transgression. The third group was of the people who followed the Divine doctrines as well as restrained others from disobeying them. When God cursed the nation, the people exempted from this torment were those who had been observing the limits fixed by their Master and were stopping others from wrongdoing as well.
There is another but similar happening. The residents of a town had been engulfed by an ocean of sins. However, there was a noble man who was always busy in worshipping God, but he did not bother about persuading others to give up their bad ways. When God ordered the angels to destroy the town, He said: " Overturn the town on the person who was anxious to save himself from the Divine Punishment, but was not endeavoring to save others from it".
We request the virtuous people of the world that they should not depend upon their prayers to save themselves from the Divine Punishment, rather they should practically lead the anti-God rebels and followers of Satan who have gone astray, to the right path. They should induce their souls to have trust in God and thought for the world hereafter. They should not let them indulge in any affair that has been prohibited by God Almighty. They should undertake this task against Evil with full determination. Only then, their virtues and prayers will save them from the Divine Punishment.
