The Qur'an and the Wrath of God

A YouTube video clip of Rahma, a two year old Muslim girl,* gives an insight into the extent of the spread of Wahabism within the abode of Islam. **. Asked about a reference in the Qur’an to those who deserve God’s wrath, Rahma was quick to reply: the Jews. As for another reference in the Qur’an to those who go astray, Rahma replied: the Christians.

The traditional interpretation of those who deserve God’s wrath, in the opening chapter of the Qur’an (Al-fatiha), relates to those who err by breaking God’s law; As for those who go astray, the traditional association is made with those who act with negligence or carelessness***

1: 5 Thee do we worship
And Thine aid we seek

1: 6 Show us the straight way,

1:7 The way of those on whom
Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,
Those whose (portion)
Is not wrath,
And who go not astray Al-Fatiha or the opening chapter 1: 5-7

With hatred of Jews and Christians filling Rahma’s two year old heart, the future of co-existence between Muslims and non-Muslims looks bleak indeed.
