Zina is adultery and any other unlawful sexual activity — fornication and the like. Taofeek Abdulazeez is actually making an extended pitch for the idea that the coronavirus is Allah’s punishment for not obeying the Sharia, and so can only be cured by Sharia obedience. Requirements to wage jihad against unbelievers are part of Sharia as much as the rules against sodomy and zina, so this kind of argumentation is likely to lead to more jihad activity among those who pay heed to the learned imam’s analysis. “COVID-19 a spiritual punishment from God – UNIABUJA Chief Imam,” by Musliudeen Adebayo, Daily Post , July 16, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace ): Contrary to beliefs that coronavirus also known as COVID-19 was manufactured in China or caused by human contact with animals, an Islamic cleric, Professor Taofeek Abdulazeez has said that the virus is a punishment from Allah (God). Abdulazeez, who doubled as the Chief Imam, University of Abuja, described COVID-19 pandemic as a spiritual punishment from God…. The Professor of Communication and Language Arts, while speaking at the Balogun’s residence on Wednesday, said that what the world is witnessing now is as result of accummulated sins, irrespective of the various conspiracy theories…. “Allah may be angry with the world, especially the religious leaders, for their conspiratorial silence when the world is engrossed in global advocacy, applaud and involve in Fasad especially, sodomy and Zina,” he said. Abdulazeez, who said he has his concerns on the Covid-19 pandemic, asked the world to repent and go back to God Almighty for forgiveness. Quoting several portions of the Quran and historical antecedents to back his claim, Abdulazeez prayed to God to take the pandemic away as it has disrupted every facet of life.
