The Oppressors Shutting Allah’s Houses Once More – Shame On Them!
The real spread of Covid-19 was not churches gatherings but social ones such as parties. He acknowledged that funerals also contribute to the spread of the disease, but said he does not think restricting church gatherings was necessary.
Director of the Jesuit Institute of South Africa, Mr. Russell Pollitt
Declaring ownership of EVERY Masjid, Allah Ta’ala says, “The Masaajid belong to Allah.” (Jinn, 18)
Branding any Moolana, Shaykh, organisation, Trustees or/and Imaams that call for the closure of the Masaajid as the ‘worst of oppressors’, Allah Ta’ala says, “Who is a greater Zaalim (oppressor) than the one who prevents Allah’s Name from being taken in the Masaajid of Allah?” (Baqarah, 114)
It is utterly lamentable to note how certain organisations consisting of so-called ‘Ulama’ or ‘Shaykhs’ have called on for the oppressive move of the closure of the Masaajid. The Qur’an Majeed clearly questions as to who can be greater oppressors than such people. Remember, history saw great oppressors and tyrants such as Fir’aun who killed thousands of innocent children and brutally tortured his own wife. This was his extreme oppression he committed. However, in the Aayat of Surah Buqarah, Allah Ta’ala asks as to who can be a greater oppressor than those who prevent Salaah from being performed in the Masaajid – i.e. close the Masaajid due to some exaggerated stats of a fear-mongered virus.
While some ‘Ulama’ and ‘Shaykhs’ outwardly appear to be representing Islam which is the most Pure and Paak Deen on earth, to the contrary, the director of the Jesuit Institute of South Africa, Mr. Russell Pollitt said he was of the view that the real spread of Covid-19 was not churches gatherings but social ones such as parties. He acknowledged that funerals also contribute to the spread of the disease, but said he does not think restricting church gatherings was necessary.

We do not know where MJC and all other Masjid’s board/Trustees who closed the Masaajid should bury their heads after reading the above statement made by a priest.
The Masjid was frequented by Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the Sahaabah (Radhiyallahu anhum) in times of difficulty, not CLOSED as seen today by the scholars of the Kuffar governments who went to court to taint their titles by fighting to keep Allah’s Houses SHUT! How will Allah’s Help come if we SHUT His Houses? Boycott such scholars who are the enemies of Allah’s Houses! They are the greatest oppressors!
