Watan-An American citizen stated that Israel and the United States government deserve punishment, citing verse 56 of Surah An-Nisa in the Quran. During her discourse, she strongly criticized her government for supporting the occupation and its crimes against the Palestinian people.
The American speaker referred to the verse that warns those who disbelieve in the signs of Allah of the punishment of fire and having their skins replaced with new ones when they are roasted.
In a circulated video, she mentioned that while reciting Surah “An-Nisa,” she came across a verse that astonished her with its strength.
And I want to tell you about my reaction when reading it. In Surah An-Nisa, verse 56, Allah says: ‘Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses – We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through, We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.’

Appropriate Divine Punishment
The American citizen addressed her followers, saying, ‘If you had asked me to read this verse and comment on it six months ago, I would have said something completely different.’
She explained, ‘I thought this seemed very harsh, and, according to her, I didn’t know of a God who would do this to humans.’
She added, ‘I later saw what was happening to the Palestinians and the horror inflicted upon them by Israel and by my government, which pays for the bombs and provides billions of dollars. So, I realized, as she says, that this punishment is acceptable for her.’
She continued, ‘Six months ago, despite being 53 years old, I thought I would tell you that I truly believe that everyone is fundamentally good, and all people deserve forgiveness for their past actions. But at this stage, no.’
At the end of the video, the American lady affirmed that she now understands this verse well, apologizing for what her complicit government is doing to the Palestinian people.”
