Allahamdulillah
As Salaamu Aliakum I’m trying to understand why are the Masjids closed during this time of need. This country have no cases of coronavirus as of yet and the muslims can’t have prayer.
Nothing else is closed, the clubs, bars & restaurants are still open. The place that’s the most risk is the market place.
In order to protect the people of Salone closing the borders is what’s best.
I’m not understanding the thought process of the person who decided to do this. I thought the Islamic counsel were followers of the Qur’an and Sunnah.
The UK is under shutdown because their coronavirus number are growing but they’re not closing their masjids. As a Muslim in this country I’m disappointed in this Islamic counsel.
You’re turning your back on Allah by closing the masjids and oppressing the believers by trying to take away their blessing to perform the mandatory rights of Islam. How can you expect Allah to continue to bless you when you are imitating the kufr.
FYI
The Chinese government was oppressing the Muslims closing the masjid & terrorizing the Muslim population. Allah answered the cries of the righteous and sent the coronavirus. After that the government reopened the masjids closed their borders and now they have a treatment that tends to be working.
