In the Name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Solution to the Present
Problems of the Muslim World
By Irshad Mahmood -
Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
People
and Nation Needs to change not the Leader:
This is because Allah has never changed a favor
which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition; and
because Allah is Hearing, Knowing; (Ref: Al_Quraan_008.053).
(Allah will change the nation if their people
first change themselves NOT their Leader)
If
People and Nation change, not the Leader THEN:
And if the people of the township had believed
and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them, blessings from the
sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We
seized them on account of what they used to earn, (Ref: Al_Quraan_007.096).
(Allah’s Blessing may have come if nation or
people have accepted Islaam and NOT their Leader)
Quraan
is the ONLY Book of Guidance which can Help us to Answer Back all Kinds of
False Ideas:
This Book, there is NO Doubt in it, is a
Guidance to those who fear Allah, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.002).
He it is who sends clear revelations to His
slave, that He may bring you out of darkness into light; for Allah is surely
gracious and kind to you, (Ref: Al_Quraan_057.009).
A Book revealed to you-- so let there be no
constraint in your breast on account of it, that you may warn thereby, and a
reminder close to the believers, (Al_Quraan_007.002).
We know best what they say, and you are not one
to compel them; therefore REMIND him by means of the Quraan who fears My
threat, (Al_Quraan_050.045).
Invite (all) to the way of your Lord with wisdom
and goodly exhortation, and have disputations with them in the best manner;
surely your Lord best knows those who go astray from His path, and He knows
best those who follow the right way, (Ref: Al_Quraan_016.125).
Baaith
/ Oath / Promises: Fulfill your Promises with Allah and Enter into Islaam
Completely:
And when We made a covenant with you and raised
the mountain over you: Take hold of what We have given you with firmness and be
obedient. They said: We hear and disobey. And they were made to imbibe (the
love of) the calf into their hearts on account of their unbelief Say: Evil is that
which your belief bids you if you are believers, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.093).
O Prophet! when believing women come to you
giving you a pledge that they will not associate aught with Allah, and will not
steal, and will not commit fornication, and will not kill their children, and
will not bring a calumny which they have forged of themselves, and will not
disobey you in what is good, accept their pledge, and ask forgiveness for them
from Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful, (Ref: Al_Quraan_060.012).
Enter into Islam whole-heartedly, and follow
not the footsteps of the evil one,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_002.208).
Why
Nations Destroy/Falls?
Allah
Never Destroys any Good Nations:
But why were there not among the generations
before you those possessing understanding, who should have forbidden the making
of mischief in the earth, except a few of those whom We delivered from among
them? And those who were unjust went after what they are made to enjoy of
plenty, and they were guilty. Your Lord never annihilates any community
unjustly, while its people are righteous, (Ref: Al_Quraan_011.116-117).
Allah
Never Changes the Conditions of a Nation till their People (NOT their Leader)
Changes themselves:
In the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those
before them; they disbelieved in Allah's communications, therefore Allah
destroyed them on account of their faults; surely Allah is strong, severe in
requiting (evil). This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has
conferred upon a people until they change their own condition; and because
Allah is Hearing, Knowing, (Ref: Al_Quraan_008.052-053).
Corruption
in the Land is because of Peoples Deeds:
Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea
on account of what the hands of men have wrought (done), that He may make them
taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_030.041).
Disasters
Continued:
Even if a Quraan caused mountains to move, or
the earth to tear asunder, or the dead to speak (they will not believe). Allah controls
all things. Is it not time for the believers to give up and realize that if
Allah willed, He could have guided all the people? The disbelievers will
continue to suffer disasters, as a consequence of their own works, or have
disasters strike close to them, until Allah's promise is fulfilled. Allah will
never change the predetermined destiny, (Ref: Al_Quraan_013.031).
Miserable
Life of Disbelievers:
And whoever turns away from My reminder
(message), he will have a miserable life, and We will raise him on the Day of
Resurrection, blind, (Ref: Al_Quraan_020.124).
Disbelievers
are Losing their Lands:
Nay, We gave the good things of this life to
these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; Do they not
then see that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying
borders? Is it then they who will win, (Al_Quraan_021.044)?
Destruction
of Disbeliever's Land:
And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our
commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress
therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter
destruction. And how many of the generations did We destroy after Nuh! and your
Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing with regard to His servants' faults,
(Al_Quraan_017.016-017).
Why Muslims and Muslims countries are getting
more affected, while Allah promised to protect the believers? We need to find
out immediately, what were the sins of those Muslims who were affected by such
disasters, so that we can avoid those sins?
And if the people of the towns had believed and
guarded (against evil) we would certainly have opened up for them blessings
from the heaven and the earth, but they rejected, so we overtook them for what
they had earned, (Ref: Al_Quraan_007.096).
Indonesia got affected by Tsunami triggered by
an undersea Earthquake on 26-DEC-2004. Bangladesh got affected by massive flood
and over 2/3 of Bangladesh gone under water. History of Earthquake in Iran and
Turkey is not too old as well. It looks like we are Muslims by name only. We
have the Quraan and we believe on the Quraan that it is from Allah and free
from any kind of error or contradiction BUT when the time comes to practice it,
we try to deviate from it and start looking shortcuts. Enter into Islaam Completely
and immediately without any delay.
Disasters
are not without any reason:
Mischief (Disaster or Corruption) has appeared
on land and sea because of (the evil) that the hands of men have earned, that
(Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may
turn back (from Evil), (Ref: Al_Quraan_030:041).
And even if there were a Quran with which the
mountains were made to pass away, or the earth were travelled over with it, or
the dead were made to speak thereby; nay! the commandment is wholly Allah's,
Have not yet those who believe known that if Allah please He would certainly
guide all the people? And (as for) those who disbelieve, there will not
cease to afflict them because of what they do a repelling calamity, or it will
alight close by their abodes, until the promise of Allah comes about; surely
Allah will not fail in (His) promise, (Ref: Al_Quraan_013.031).
In the above two Ayaat Disaster points to both
the Natural Disasters as well as Man Mad, including a Cruel Ruler.
Do we think that Allah will change our
conditions, since we just recite Kalima and obey only of his few commands. It
is our mistake. Allah never changes the condition of people unless they change
themselves. Our Ummah has to change immediately, so don't delay, time is
running out. Do you think that Cruel Ruler is not a Disaster, Think again.
Remember: After Listening or
watching or reading etc. of Quraan and Authentic Hadeeth, it is your
responsibility to think and decide as well as change accordingly and
immediately. Yes, Rasool Allah already warned that there will be around 73
sects of Muslims BUT only one will go to the Heaven, doesn't mean that in any
sects I am fine. I must need to find out the right one and change accordingly
and immediately, only then there is a real hope to enter to the heaven.Tomorrow may
never come so don't delay and Enter into Islaam immediately. Also telling
others as well is your responsibility.
Possible
Reason Why Muslim Ummah is suffering Badly:
Yet you it is who slay your people and turn a
party from among you out of their homes, backing each other up against them
unlawfully and exceeding the limits; and if they should come to you, as
captives you would ransom them-- while their very turning out was unlawful for
you. Do you then believe in a part of the Book and disbelieve in the other?
What then is the re ward of such among you as do this but disgrace in the life
of this world, and on the day of resurrection they shall be sent back to the
most grievous chastisement, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
These are they who buy the life of this world for the hereafter, so their
chastisement shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped,
(Al_Quraan_002.085-086).
(Here Believing means Practicing. Islaam is a
Practical Religion and NOT a Verbal Religion. Today vast majority of Muslim
Ummah are not Practicing Islaam completely, so it means, they are believing in
some parts of the Quraan, while disbelieving in the others.)
Allah
has promised for the great bounty, BUT why Muslim Ummah are suffering:
And if the people of the towns had believed and
guarded (against evil) we would certainly have opened up for them blessings
from the heaven and the earth, but they rejected, so we overtook them for what
they had earned, (Ref: Al_Quraan_007.096).
Do not hold the Messenger's calling (you) among
you to be like your calling one to the other; Allah indeed knows those who
steal away from among you, concealing themselves; therefore let those beware
who go against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befall them a
painful chastisement, (Ref: Al_Quraan_024.063).
Behold! You are those who are called upon to
spend in Allah's way, but among you are those who are niggardly, and whoever is
niggardly is niggardly against his own soul; and Allah is Self-sufficient and
you have need (of Him), and if you turn back He will bring in your place
another people, then they will not be like you, (Ref: Al_Quraan_047.038).
Shall I then seek a judge other than Allah? And
He it is Who has revealed to you the Book (which is) made plain; and those whom
We have given the Book know that it is revealed by your Lord with truth,
therefore you should not be of the disputers, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.114).
Those
who don’t do Justice according to the Laws of Allah they are unbelievers:
Surely We revealed the Taurat
in which was guidance and light; with it the prophets who submitted themselves
(to Allah) judged (matters) for those who were Jews, and the masters of Divine
knowledge and the doctors, because they were required to guard (part) of the
Book of Allah, and they were witnesses thereof; therefore fear not the people
and fear Me, and do not take a small price for My communications; and whoever
did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_005.044).
What about those Muslim Rulers, who don’t
establish Deen-e-Ibrahim, how come they are Muslims? What about those who appoint them by giving vote
in a democratic system, although there are others asking your support, so that
they may be able to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim? What about those who don’t go for
vote where there is a democratic system, to elect someone who is promising to
establish Deen-e-Ibrahim? As an example, suppose 3% of the
population want to establish Deen-e-Ibarhim, but didn’t vote, 49% vote
to the Non-Islaamic party while 48% vote to the Islaamic Party.
Then Non-Islaamic Party will be in power only because of 3% of
the people who didn’t vote. Why there are so many divided Islaamic
Parties? Suppose that the majority of the people don’t want
Deen-e-Ibrahim System then, would you like to force the people or do Dawah and
leave the rest on Allah? A Muslim can never vote to a Non-Islaamic party, while
there are True Islaamic Parties available. These things are extremely important
and need TRUE Justice otherwise the corrupt Rulers will be appointed and will
destroy the Nation. You must help those who are sincerely & peacefully
trying to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim.
Those
who vote for NON-Islaamic Party May be actually Disbelievers:
O you who believe! whoever from among you turns
back from his religion, then Allah will bring a people, He shall love them and
they shall love Him, lowly before the believers, mighty against the
unbelievers, they shall strive hard in Allah's way and shall not fear the
censure of any censurer; this is Allah's Face, He gives it to whom He pleases,
and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.054).
Remember: There is no Compulsion
in the Religion … (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.256).
Those
who Divide the Religion are NO Longer Muslims:
As for those who Divide their Religion and break
up into Sects, thou hast NO part in them in the least: their affair is with
Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_006:159).
Allah
wants us to be United Perfectly:
If you
DIFFER in anything (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, etc.) amongst yourself, then
REFER to Allah and his Messenger, if you really believe in Allah and in the
Last Day. That is better and more suitable for determinations, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_004.059).
Weather you believe or not, our Foundation
(Worshipping Method) is widely divided into several sects. Not only every
group, believing on, that they are right, BUT every person practically believe
that he is right, and perfect, so he is acting accordingly.
Check your Faith, Kalimah, Salaat, Sayaam,
Zakaat, Hajj, etc (Every Act including Worship). Think again, why you are
different from other Muslims. First see yourself, may be you are not Correct.
Only No Innovations, No Additions or
Subtractions in our Faith, Kalimah, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc. will
bring us to Perfect Unity.
Allah
Protects ONLY Those who keep doing Dawah and those who help them in doing
Dawah:
At many places Allah mentioned that HE protects
ONLY those who keeps doing Dawah and those who helps them as well (Ref:
specially read Al_Quraan chapter_007). So don't fear Shaitaan and Fear Allah
only and keep doing Dawah from the depth of your heart.
When some of them said: "Why do you preach
to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?"-
said the preachers:" To discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance
they may fear Him", (Ref: Al_Quraan_007:164).
When they neglected the warnings that had been
given them, We rescued (ONLY) those who forbade Evil; but We overtook the
wrong-doers with a grievous punishment because they were given to
transgression, (Ref: Al_Quraan_007:165).
Here points to be noted, what happened to those
who were not doing Dawah nor helping those who were doing Dawah, instead they
were asking those who were doing Dawah that "Why do you preach to a people
whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?". They were
not saved while those who were doing Dawah were saved only.
Allah
Never Destroys any Good Nations:
But why
were there not among the generations before you those possessing understanding,
who should have forbidden the making of mischief in the earth, except a few of
those whom We delivered from among them? And those who were unjust went after
what they are made to enjoy of plenty, and they were guilty. Your Lord never
annihilates any community unjustly, while its people are righteous, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_011.116-117).
Allah
Never Changes the Conditions of a Nation till their People (NOT their Leader)
Changes themselves:
In the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those
before them; they disbelieved in Allah's communications, therefore Allah
destroyed them on account of their faults; surely Allah is strong, severe in
requiting (evil). This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has
conferred upon a people until they change their own condition; and because
Allah is Hearing, Knowing, (Ref: Al_Quraan_008.052-053).
Change
yourself NOW Before it gets Too LATE: New Muslims are Much Better than
Non-Practiced Muslims:
Verily Allah will never change the condition of
a people until they (first) change it themselves, (Ref: Al_Quraan_013.011).
And if you turn away, Allah will exchange you
for some another people (possibly New Muslims), and they will not be like you,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_047.038).
There
is NO Place of Sects in Islaam:
As for those who Divide their Religion and break up into Sects, thou hast NO
part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah. He will in the end tell
them the truth of all that they did, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006:159).
And obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute among yourselves, for
then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient;
surely Allah is with the patient, (Ref: Al_Quraan_008.046).
If anyone desires a religion OTHER than Islaam (Submission to Allah), NEVER
will it be accepted of him: and in the Hereafter he will be in the rank of
those who have LOST (their selves in the hell of fire), (Ref:
Al_Quraan_003.085).
Enter into Islaam Completely (Perfectly, 100%), (Ref:
Al_Quraan_002.208).
Islaam
will eventually come to all over the World:
Their intention is to extinguish the Allah’s
light (by blowing) with their mouths, but Allah will complete His light, even
though the Unbelievers may detest (it), (Ref: Al_Quraan_061.008).
Non-Practicing
Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).
None
argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve …, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_040.004).
Allah is One <---> Quraan is One
<---> Siraat_ul_Mustaqeem is One
