Does the state of not wishing to give charity, pay zakat, or perform any good deeds, after witnessing the bloodshed during the coup in Egypt, accord with Islamic law? And does the verse, "it is as if he had saved the lives of all mankind," apply to performing surgeries for poor children? What is the ruling on losing faith in the benefit of supplication after seeing the oppressed not being granted victory?
A Muslim should be broad-minded towards those who differ during times of tribulation and continue to do good, even if it reaches those who disagree, because they are brothers in faith as long as God's law does not deem it reprehensible. It is not permissible for a Muslim to rejoice at the killing of his Muslim brother, and the reward for charity is obtained even if it is given to someone who does not deserve it. A Muslim should not despair, grieve, or think ill of his Lord. He should occupy himself with correcting his deeds and rectifying his shortcomings during trials, for God possesses profound wisdom in affliction. As for the verse, "And whoever saves a life, it is as though he has saved all mankind," it includes saving a life from destruction by any means.
