How do brothers get sick and die?

Counselor Ahmed Al-Zend died, may God have mercy on him, and so the gloating party that everyone who has followed the Brotherhood knows for a long time began again. “Al-Zend” stood against them, so his death for them is an occasion for joy, and perhaps an opportunity to invoke God to make people believe that God avenged them with his death. As for us, we ask God to have mercy and forgive Counselor Ahmed Al-Zend, that judge who stood up to the Brotherhood and their deviant project in the years in which they tried to extend their hands to the judiciary, and to reshape it according to the law. Their organizational size: “Al-Zend” was then president of the Egyptian Judges Club, and he was one of the most outspoken voices in defense of the independence of the judiciary, and he was a giant in confronting the constitutional declaration issued by “Morsi” and in confronting the besiegement of the Supreme Constitutional Court. When Ahmed Al-Zend died, and before the news of his death dried up, the Brotherhood’s bats came out declaring their gloating, cursing them, and cheering for death as a punishment from God. This is what the Brotherhood is, their opponent died, then he was lost. God punished him with death. He fell ill, so this is the call of an oppressed person. He fell in an accident, so this is the end of the oppressor. Thus, for some of them, death turns from a universal reality into a publication of divine rulings, as if they possessed the keys to the unseen, or as if the Angel of Death was reviewing with them before taking the soul: This is from us, and this is upon us. No, gentlemen. Death does not ask the dead: Are you a Muslim or a Christian? My brothers or my Nazarenes? Will Sassawi or Mersaoui? Death takes everyone. I am not saying this from afar, nor am I borrowing a story from an unknown book. But I will narrate to you the incident of the death of Sheikh Abdel Badie Saqr, the Brotherhood leader, and one of the members of the first generation of the group. This Brotherhood sheikh had left Belbeis at the end of 1986 after a lecture he gave to the Brotherhood of Belbeis, and headed to his affiliated village.To Abu Kabir Center, then his car swerved and fell into the water, but what water?! I fell into a sewage drain. Glory be to God, O God, protect us. The man drowned in the sewage and died, and the Brotherhood buried him while mentioning his virtues. But the story for me is not here. The story is that Abdel Badie Saqr was one of those who entered with the Brotherhood in the kind of speech that turns the death of an opponent into a sign of God’s wrath with him, and I remember well what he used to say about Gamal Abdel Nasser, and among that was what the Brotherhood repeated, the first of whom was “Abdel Badie,” that God flooded Abdel Nasser’s grave with sewage. Okay. Abdel Nasser died and was buried in Cairo, and his grave remained known. The man remained a part of Egypt’s history, and those who disagreed with him continue to disagree about him until today. Then life came with its cruel irony, and Abdel Badie Saqr died by drowning in the sewers that he claimed had flooded Abdel Nasser’s grave, but they drowned him as well, as if the reward was of the kind of work. But should I say that God took revenge on him? no. I actually cannot say that. I am saying something simpler and harsher. If death in your religious belief is a punishment from God when it inflicts on your opponents, then you must accept the same logic when it inflicts on one of your men, especially if he dies in the sewers. As for the death of an opponent being a punishment, and the death of a Brotherhood being a trial, elevation, and dignity, this is not a doctrine of death, but rather a way of interpreting death according to the identity of the dead. And here I remember the story of Essam El-Erian and Hosni Mubarak. “Al-Erian” was speaking with Amr Moussa about “Mubarak,” and he said about him: “Mubarak will not come out of prison, Professor Amr, but he will come out of prison to the grave.” These words are documented in a video recording that was circulated, but God did not carry out the sentence as “Al-Arian” wanted it to be. God Almighty is the Almighty inGod Almighty is not a policeman who carries out the orders of “the naked man”! So it was that “Mubarak” came out of prison to his palace, and then lived for years after that, and died in 2020. As for Essam Al-Erian, he came out of prison and into the grave, as if he was judging himself while talking about Mubarak... And God has affairs in His creation. And I do not want to say: This is a punishment, and this is a reward. I have nothing to do with that. But I say that a person should think before distributing God’s rulings to his whims, because history is full of these paradoxes that afflict people of different beliefs and affiliations. You have Sheikh Mustafa al-Sibai, one of the most prominent leaders of the Brotherhood in Syria, who lived for many years in the agony of illness while suffering from paralysis until he died in 1964. Najib al-Kilani, the well-known Brotherhood doctor and writer, died after a struggle with cancer, which he suffered from for years. And Manaa Al-Qattan, one of the most prominent scholars of the Brotherhood, died after cancer that destroyed his body before his death. Hamed Askari, from the early generation of the group, died young after suffering from bladder cancer. Were these people punished by illness and death? I don't know. Neither do you know, nor do I have the right to speak in the name of God to say why this person died and why that person lived. But the problem is that this is exactly what the speech does, which turns the death of the opponent into a ready-made religious ruling. The man with whom we disagree dies, and it is said: “This is God’s punishment.” And the man who is with us dies, and it is said: “This is a testimony, an elevation, and a test.” And you can seek refuge in God from the brothers who make God an enemy of their opponents, and forget that God is not an employee of their party nor a member of their group. As for those who want to make death a court, and make themselves its judges, let them remember one thing... the divine court, the file of which we do not have.We do not know its ruling, and it is not permissible for us to utter its name.
