Ashshahadu an la illa ha il Allahu
Wa Ashshahadu ana Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh
Auzubillahi min ash-shaitani ar-rajeem
Bismillahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahmeen
In the name of Allah, The Gracious, the Merciful
We grant them their pleasure for a little while: in the end shall We drive them to a chastisement unrelenting. (31:24)
The AIDS epidemic is spreading throughout the world. Though it may seem to a be a "third world" disease, even modern Western countries like the United States of America are not immune from it. It is without a doubt a lethal and painful punishment for those who are afflicted with it. For Muslims, it is a Sign of Allah's Anger toward people who have abandoned His commandments and expectations of chastity, and who have dirtied themselves in unlawful sexual relations. It is also a fulfilment of a prophecy made by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (salallahu alaihi wa salam):
It never happens that permissiveness overwhelms a people to the extent that they display their acts of sex shamelessly and they are not uniquely punished by God. Among them, invariably, pestilence is made to spread and such other diseases, the like of which have never been witnessed by their forefathers. (Ibn Majah; Kitab-ul-Fitan)
who gets AIDS?
people of every age, race, religion and sexual orientation.
gays get it.
straight men get it and give it to their wives.
babies are being born with it.
blood transfusions are a cause.
drug addiction is a cause (dirty needles)
and poverty is a cause (in many poor countries, needles are re-used in clinics).
how can anyone be so arrogant as to claim to know that this is a punishment from Allah? :enough!:
each man thinks of his own fleas as gazelles
question authority

Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Why is its place of origin relevant? It's killing God's children. It doesn't matter where it comes from, it's bad and it's gotta go.
God doesn't have children otherwise He would need a spouse, which would mean He has an associate, which would mean there are two Gods. If there were two God's, one may decide to have one law whereas another may want another. Both may disagree, which may lead to argument, which may lead to fighting and the whole universe would be in chaos. At the end, one would have to lose, hence he would be weaker and therefore not God.
We're all God's creation and His servants - yes. God only does what befits His Majesty.

1. God doesn't need anything or anyone to do as He wishes. Just because we humans need a partner in order to reproduce doesn't mean He does.
2. I said we are His children because we are His creations. I did not intend to imply that He created us through the way we bring new life into the world. My apologies.
Perhaps I was wrong. Or perhaps you are playing innocent. Both are equally probable.

Eh. To each his own, then. I see humankind as the children of God, but more importantly as servants of God. We exist to fulfill His wishes in whatever way we can.
It's just that having a child is giving birth to one, otherwise it's not really a child is it? It's simply a creation. Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon them) was born without a father, the same way Adam was created without a father or mother. And Adam was the creation of God, the same way Jesus son of Mary was. We are all God's servants and we obey God because we are dependant upon Him, and to Him is the final return where we will be judged on all that we did in this world.
No, i meant that any child is given birth to. Yes a foster child is even given birth to.
You must stop thinking of things like birth as being so static! Just because we do things one way doesn't mean it's totally impossible to do it another. Even if it was impossible, God could still do it. That's why He's...Himself.
