Do not wonder at the large-scale corruption and killing that has drowned the Ummah today. Allah has already explained the 'why' to us. And in the end, He has also expressed hope that perhaps we shall take heed and return back to Him in obedience & worship! The Qur'an says:
"Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return." (30:41)
Ibn Kathir rahimahullah explains in his Tafseer:
Mujahid said: "Evil on land means the killing of the son of Adam''
Abu Al-Aliyah said: "Whoever disobeys Allah in the earth has corrupted it, because the good condition of the earth and the heavens depends on obedience to Allah.''
