I am saddened by what has befallen all the innocent foreign workers in Saudi Arabia, in particular in the last couple of days. And now a disaster has struck the Saudi Kingdom in the form of storms and floods... I was disappointed in a slight feeling of gladness which arouse within me. Should I rejoice in this? NO, my Tewahedo Orthodox Faith does not allow me to rejoice in evil. Instead of rejoice I should ask for mercy for those upon whom this calamity has befallen. If I am wrong from the Tewahedo Orthodox perspective, correct me. If we are true, we should be careful how we react to this. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles.. Prov 24 “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, Or lifted myself up when evil found him (Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking for a curse on his soul) Job 31 He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished. Prov 17
