Assalamualikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
Do you know why we are humiliated! & Disgraced! in the world today? Why our children are murdered! Why our daughters are dishonored! Why we are made homeless and are treated as slave in our own countries??? Do you know the reason??
(please read it!...give it your 10 mins! coz! its worth it!)
the reason is that........
<<we have abandoned the Book of Allah! His word! The Qur’an!>>
Most of us will be like…No! that’s not true! we didn’t did that! right? I mean, we read Qur'an, we give it respect! We keep it in the highest place in our rooms! we even wrapped it with the most expensive covers! we hear the most beautiful translations of it in our cell phones, in our I pods…etc
Really?...are those the only rights which Qur'an has over us?...sure?
-we have made the Qur’an a sacred family heirloom! A treasure! That we wrap in exotic and expensive covers! BUT we haven't uninhabited it in our hearts! Which is the best of all covers!
-we recites it and listened to it in the best and most melodious of voices. BUT! We ignore or neglect the meaning of what we are reciting or listening to!
-we have placed it high above all other objects in any room, BUT! Yet it occupy the lowest station in our daily lives.
-we read it on some one’s death, BUT! We ignore it during our lives!
-we write it and print it in the fanciest of scripts and on the most expensive of papers, YET! We are heedless of its commandments and its prohibitions.
ACTUALLY:
the nation to which Allah reveals His book and sends His messenger, becomes the representatives of Allah’s religion, His law and order..etc then it’s the duty of this nation to guide other nations around the world, its their duty to call people towards guidance! As they are now the protectors and preservers of Allah’s book.But! if they, themselves abandons the book of Allah and they themselves disobey Allah’s commands and his religion and if they! By their actions! misrepresent Allah’s religion! Then they themselves becomes worst then the unbelievers!
“…sell not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers.”
(5:44)
"Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel."
(5:47)
Not judging according to the Allah’s book is one category of abandoning it! When people judge their matters, according to something/someone else, and thereby they ascribe partners to Allah’s judgement or to His book and thereby to Allah! Other categories of abandoning Allah’s book are:
-The scholar Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah have said,” there are various types of ‘abandonment’ of the Quran:
1.To abandon listening to it and believing in it.
2. To abandon acting upon it and ignoring its lawful and prohibited ordinances(halal and haram)
3. to abandon judging by it, and restoring to it as a judge when there are differences in the essence of the religion or other matters.
4.To abandon pondering over it and understanding it and seeking the explaination of it!
5. to abandon using it as a cure in all types of dieseases of the hearts, and instead to seek to cure these disease by other means!
<< all of these statements are included in the following ayah of Quran:>>
“And the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur'an (neither listened to it, nor acted on its laws and teachings)”
(sura al Furqan:30)
Now how many of these types of abandonment are we guilty of?? Any answers??...
The Quran has several rights over us:
1. we should read it and understand it!
2. what we have read and understood, we should apply it in our daily lives and we should obey it in our actions of our daily life!
3. we should call others to the teaching of Quran and to its obedience as well!
-->as The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it (to others)."
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Hadith 545)
so whats wrong with us?...that we do want to be the best at our school! The best at our colleges! The best at our working place! In our family and relatives! But we don’t want to become the best amongst our Muslim nation???
What is wrong with us that we don’t obey Allah when he says:
"And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Qur'an),..”
(3:103)
As said by Dr Muhammad Iqbal:
"Wo Mu'aziz Theh Zamane Mein MUSALMAN Hokar Aur Hum Khwar Hue Tareek-E-QURAN Hokar"
(Your ancestors were honored for being Muslim. And you are miserable for leaving the Quran.)
-->And as said by the prophet (peace be upon him),” Indeed, Allah will honour people(i.e., in this world and the Hereafter) by this book, and He will debase others by it,”(Muslim)
How true are the above statements for the Muslims of today!!
So if we want to regain that honor! That pride! That status! We should return to the book of Allah! We should return to The Quran! And give its rights! And again hold that rope which we have released from our hands!
But those! who still didn’t! do it!
Those who are feeling secure in their homes! In their daily lives! In their occupations! Who loves TV serials, movies, shopping malls, clubs, partying more then Allah and His Prophet(peace be upon him) And who are carefree of the condition of the Muslim Ummah today!.... then…
"Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause, then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah)." (9:24)
And then you know what will happen! You will be in the news! Like the other muslim around the world are today!..
"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help."
(4:75)
