But most people refuse to understand

The Holy Qur'an has given us warning before hand that all these things would happen as they had happened before to those who defied God's command. Earthquakes, fires, killings (wars) and all the like will be the lot of peoples who become Godless or believe in other Gods, and these include the so-called Muslims, nowadays, the many of them.
As an example, the Muslims were strictly prohibited from usury (ribha) but the Maranaos upheld the Coco investment scheme which was more than usury and even many of their Ulama justified it as non-haram. And look at the calamity that befell to our people's eyes! The so-called Coco investment business agents and investors are killing one another leaving heavy calamity in the Maranao midst until when only God knows.MAS YAHYA
