AWARENESS, THE THRESHOLD OF A FIGHT

Posted by aliff asyraf on Wednesday, September 19, 2012

Verily, Allah the Most Wise have fated us to live in this age. An age testifying ‘Jahiliyyah’ reigns over all corners of the world.  An age witnessing the disbelievers prevails in their ambition to topple over the caliph and discard all traces of its history. As a matter of a fact, they succeeded to isolate Islam from functioning and playing its role in humanity. Our enemies have westernize our children and distance them from commitment towards their faith, except very few of those who are loved by Allah, among the righteous, steadfast and true.
                
           Every Moslem who is aware and concern will admit that Islam, at this particular moment is at its most critical phase it has seen. They are aware that they are stuck in a long and fierce battle with their greatest enemies. They are aware on treats outside and inside their own people. Every Moslem who is alert and sensitive will agree and acknowledges on this truth.
                
          Among us we see a majority of people who are not aware and neglectful. They do not accept the fact that truth and falsehood will forever collide. The clash between the believers and disbelievers will forever exist.

Verily Allah has mentioned in the Holy Quran :

‘’Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.’’
Al-Anbiya Verse 18

What we fail to realize
           In truth we must accept that we live in a time where Islam is being ruled over by the west. In a way that is subtle and tricky. Islam at this particular age is down, beaten and bleeding at its extreme. We see the enemies announce their ambition to oppose the Moslem openly, without needing to hide, without fear. Among the true believers, they face threats coming from every corners, all directions. Look closely and we see mast killing in Palestine. We see liberalism, pluralism, and secularism creeps into the Moslem society. When our people are busy fighting among ourselves on who is right and who is wrong.

A condition similar to what is mentioned by Prophet SAW :

"There will come a time when nations fear you like raiding dishes, God will lift the hearts of your enemies from fear and throw against you weakness in your hearts." Someone asked: Is it because of our small number at that time, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet said: "No, at that very time you are big in number, but you are just like the foams on the sea.’’ Someone asked: What are the weaknesses, O Messenger of Allah? Prophet said: "The love of the world and fear of death."

           Iran stands to defend Syiah. The west defends Christianity and Israel defends the Jews. Who will stand up for the Moslem?
            
           The insensitive will remain ignorance. Not rattled by dangers and warnings that lurks around them. Those faithful slowly lose hope. Defenceless, slowly, we lower our head in shame towards the enemies.

Why do we care?
     Those who make effort to strengthen the ‘Ummah’ are not many. These people work hard to potentiate the rise of the ‘Ummah’ and open its eyes in its deep illusion. To warn against ruins of they own doing. Only those who are alert and aware will bear to carry this responsibility.  They are steadfast and firm in the middle of people who live without a stand. Patience and steady in the mist of people who are trembling. Brave when all others fear. Awake when all others are trapped in deep slumbers. They force a way when all others oppose them. Optimistic when all others lost hope.
 These are people mentioned in the Holy Quran :

‘’Among the believers are men true to what they promised Allah . Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [the terms of their commitment] by any alteration’’
Al-Ahzaab 23

         These are men inspired by words of the Prophet SAW when he was offered wealth, and rank by the disbelievers in Mecca in return for a cessation of preaching towards Islam. He replied with these famous words written in history :

"By Allah, if they put the sun in my right hand and the moon on my left for me to leave this matter, I shall not, until Allah wins it, or I shall perish in defending it.’’

         So we call to those who wish for a change and serious for some repairs, possess faith and awareness, will and determination, vision and confidence to incline towards this small group of people described before. Verily, this road leads to a sure and guaranteed end. It will inspire glory, triumph and the best possible result. Islam will stand above all others as promised by Allah. Either triumph by our own hand, or others. So why not make ourselves a factor in its glory? Will you seat by seeing others claim the honour?

‘’They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.’’
At-Tawbah verse 32

The Outcome
         To people who are steadfast and patience, we call for them to plunge into the battlefield armed with the Holy Quran and its light that lit the darkest of night. Every situation analysed and internalized with facts and truth from its teachings.

Struggles starts with faith. Only for those who are aware..
