Statement that the Palestinians are undergoing Azaab currently and the Yahood are the army of Allah

Q: Is it correct to say that the Palestinians are undergoing Azaab currently and is it correct to say the Yahood are the army of Allah?

A: The unseen is known only to Allah Ta`ala. This type of speculation and random thinking could be misleading. Many times, results of an event unfold with time. For some moments, Muslims may undergo some apparent difficulty. These difficult moments really are not punishments, they create a realisation and awareness. When the awareness has been created and people begin to understand things in perspective and apply themselves correctly then we find the help of Allah Ta`ala descending. So why should we say that it is a punishment. In my view, it is a blessing but just that we cannot understand the nature of the blessing.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
