This people have no fear of Allah. Apparently Dubai World has agreed to buy 14 million shares of MGM Mirage–which owns the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, and Mirage casinos among other properties–for $84 a share, or about $1.2 billion. Dubai will also acquire half of Mirage’s CityCenter hotels and condos for another $2.7 billion. And Dubai plans to buy another $1.18 billion of MGM stock from public shareholders. (MGM shares closed on Tuesday at $74.32.)
Quran clearly states in Surah al-Maidah, ayat 90:
O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan’s handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.
Dubai World’s chairman, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, told Bloomberg News: “Through our Kerzner investment we’re already into gambling, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise“.
Well, Sultan Ahmed… wait until you burn in the fires of Hell, I am sure it will come as a surprise! Unless of course if you repent, and Allah is Most Merciful.
