IT'S TIME!

Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek his good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and leadeth them out of darkness, by his will, unto the light, - guideth them to a path that is straight.(5:16)

My beloved brothers and sisters in Islam, the sun is at the horizon but there is no one who seeks it’s light, and the train has reached the station but the passengers are not in sight, “their” legs are worn out of waiting but none has reached right, their hopes have harshly been broken, but others are held back in fright.

Muslims all over the globe are being pained, about their tears, no one cares and with these fears they are in despair. What has happened to the Ummah of Prophet (peace be upon him)? What has happened to us? Have we been carried away by the tricks of Satan to such an extent that we have lost our own identity, our own reality?

Allah (subhanahu wa taa’ala) has bestowed us, with blessings so numerous, and life so painless, then why have we become so negligent of Him. Is it that we think we are not going to die and on the sight of the Angel, do nothing but cry? Is it that we think we are not going to be questioned about what we did and we didn’t? Is it that we have completely forgotten, that there is Allah, Who has given and is thus watching, from above!

Why have we become so cut to pieces? Why have we stopped feelings? Are our hearts blackened by sins done so often? Have we become devoid, of light from His side? Where are we searching for happiness? Where are we reaching out for light…away from Allah?! Searching for gold in coal so black. Why have we become blind? Why then have we become so blind?

Cant you feel that Satan is always by your side, feeling happy when you sin, that he’ll get you with himself away from the garden that Allah has built for you! Cant you understand the hatred in the hearts of those who inspire you to sing and dance and listen to music and wear revealing dresses on the Last Day they will run “ No Allah, wasn’t us! He heeded…his fault, put him in fire!”

And the Prophet (peace be upon him) looking pitifully at his Ummah…how much he loved us? How much he cared for us that he used would get up all night praying for us “ My Ummah! My Ummah!” and on his death bed he said  “ My Ummah! My Ummah!’ and on the Last day on being brought to life will he say “ My Ummah! My Ummah!” and what are we doing?

Why are we destroying ourselves? Why are we walking willingly to hell and Allah (subhanahu wa taa’ala) keeps calling us? When we say ‘O Allah!’ He (subhanahu wa taa’ala) replies ‘O my slave!’ even those we love do not answer all our calls but when it is ‘O Allah!’ the reply comes; but we are never there to receive it…we get indulged in our own whims and sins.

Awaken now please! Awaken! It’s time now! Is it not? Till when will you cheat yourself that sinning is right? Are you thinking…. after a while; and how many of people have been found dead after a while. Indeed Allah is capable of everything.

Come back before it’s too late and the doors of forgiveness are yet open. Call on ‘O Allah!’ and feel the reply. The Muslim nation is being suppressed. Wake up, its time to wake others and look forward for a victory…victory of the truth…of Islam. The kids in Palestine and Iraq are crying. You have been given everything. Allah had given them and He took from them to see how much you care…to teach you that If Allah gives He has the power to take.

So let’s repent now and make Quran and Sunnah all our guide…all our life.

(Surah al Saff)

10) O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous chastisement-.

11) That ye believe in Allah and in his messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the cause of Allah, with your wealth and your persons: that will be best for you, if ye but knew!

 12) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in gardens of eternity: That is indeed the supreme triumph.

13) And another (favor will he bestow), which ye do love,-Help from Allah and a speedy victory. So give the glad tidings to the believers...
