Quote:She was declared brain dead last Thursday after complications arose during her recovery, her family said. They claim they then had to battle with the hospital to keep McMath on life support while they prayed for a miracle.
"The medicine has not worked. It's time to let God work," said Omari Sealy, McMath's uncle. "We are calling on God and calling on our faith."
My guess is that "god" would give it up shortly after the respirator was removed.
Well, as you might have expected, the Qur'an has a shitty verse to deal with those situations too, in Surat Al-Baqarah 2:155 which says:
"And We(Allah) will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,"
And the verse continues:
"Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return. Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided."
So if the child dies, it's either a punishment or a test. If her parents and the child have done nothing wrong, Allah is TESTING THEM, with loss of goods, with loss of life. It's nothing but a TEST.
This is what Muslims believe in.
