![Blame the Rulers?!
Some people do not want to rectify themselves, so whenever a calamity strikes them, they want to blame the rulers. And they specially hold Saudi rulers responsible for what is taking place in Palestine, Iraaq and Egypt and at the same time they want to ignore what happened in other places.
Was Saudia responsible for what took place in Bosnia in the 1990s?
Was Saudia responsible for the massacre in Kashmir in the 1990s?
Was Saudia responsible for what took place in Chechnya in the late 90s and early 2000s?
Was Saudia responsible for the month long riots which took place in state of Gujarat in India in the early 2000s?
Was Saudia responsible for the riots which took place in Muzaffarnagar in India a year or so ago?
Was Saudia responsible for what took place in Burma a year ago?
Verily, it is our sins because of which we see these calamities around us, and are helpless to do anything. But most of us just want to ignore this fact:
﴿وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ﴾
{And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much.} [Surah al-Shooraa (42): 30]
Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
❝By Allaah! The enemy did not wrong you except after the Lord abandoned you, so do not think that Shaitaan overpowers you, it is just that the Protector (Allaah تعالى) Who has forsaken you.
Beware of your soul, for no misfortune befalls you except because of it, so do not ever be reconciled with it. By Allaah! Its honor is derived from its submission (to Allaah), its dignity is derived from its subservience, its reform is derived from its breakdown, its comfort is derived from its hardship, its security is derived from its fear (of Allaah), and its pleasure is derived from its sorrow.❞
[al-Fawaaid (1/68)]

Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
❝Do you see any destruction more severe than the destruction of the Ummah nowadays? They are Billion in numbers, they are nearly one-fourth of the world population, but they have no value in the global community in spite of having moral force, material power and manpower. But when they neglected the Deen of Allaah, Allaah عز وجل forsook them, so that a person trusts* the oppressors among the Kuffar more than he trusts* his own brothers among the Muslims – and this is an ordeal and a calamity.❞
