GATEWAY TO THE REALITY
In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most compassionate
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the world. May the peace and blessings of Allah descend on the chief of all prophets and creatures.
Every human being disposes a natural habit of writing which does not vary from one individual to the other. It is to handle a pen, prepare to write after ascertaining the physical readiness and fitness of the writing materials (pen and paper).
However, my own case is different when I intended writing this article. I have to seek out for a new channel that can relieve me of my distress and enhance my foresight into the reality. Under these circumstances, the ink suddenly started pouring on the paper and I withheld the olive branch to write out my feelings. Hence whatever, you may see or read in this paper will never be as much as what the pen has intended. Nor would you read but the least of my great sentiments. In other words, I am just like an artist that applies large quantity of pigment to produce very few portraits but the paint he used remains an evidence of the pains and efforts he has exerted in his work of art even though his portraits appear ugly.
This is my similitude when l took this pen to write.
I begin in the name of Allah. I seek his assistance and support to be firm and persevering. It is a great incidence; a severe concussion that all believing Muslims have been anticipating and laying cautious measures against day in day out. It is indeed, something that happens every day but we have long been lost in the abysmal slumber of life pleasures and quest for forbearance. It occurs but we seek to trample this and uplift that. It happens but we are lost in the gloom of wilderness, seeking a way out through synthetic hands that can never avail. It happens but we are only out to search for heaters in the Winter and coolers in the Summer and quest for humidity produced by artificial coasts.
The year 1990 was the year of open Western assault against anything that bears the name of Islam, economically, socially and politically.
"SADDAM HUSEIN & KUWAIT" is the banner under which consecutive and concurrent falls were achieved based on a chain of concrete plots and plans to execute criminal acts to the detriment of Islam. Why should that not be when we realize that the West is the instrument behind that? The longsighted people with regards to future planning. The best race so far in executing plans made for the present and the future at one pace. The “Crusade Military Expeditions" were in effect as the Irish American president used the term. Although they started even long before his assumption of office but l wouldn’t like to go far into the long past but rather, l would like to draw your attention to the nearest history.
The Islamic countries l think you can easily recollect are Egypt, Algeria, Libya and others. They have all suffered the Crusade attacks. Egypt in particular did suffer severely not once or twice but the reality says that every domiciliary home in Egypt has one martyr to register at least if not more. However, by the special grace of Allah followed by the Valiant struggle and determination of its men they could defeat the Crusades and have them back into their burrows. The military actions of Al-Mukhtar descendants are best examples of what happened in Libya. Algeria the land of a million martyrs is another live example of the events of North Africa. These military expeditions came to a halt and there was the emergence of a gigantic Islamic force that came to renovate parts of the Muslim world better than ever was. Countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Syria and Iraq started laying the economic bricks to improve inter-trade and massive industrialization. They had to indulge in military conventions against Russia and America. There was the down fall of Soviet Union due to the impact of the Us-Euro alliance under the common goal of Absolute Imperialism of the World.
I can still recollect what I read about the Second World War whereby America was the ally. Glorified be Allah who invigorates and humiliates! The end result was that America and its allies worked day in day out against any thing that symbolizes Islam. Thus their master plan was:
1-to destroy all these industrialization projects
2-to extirpate humanity.
3-to disperse Muslims into groups and factions
In this way they plotted and planed. In the beginning they found it difficult to achieve their goals but under the force of Imperialism they could achieve them in the following human, industrial and factional arenas:
Industrially, they could gain full control over the monetary capital of banks and enormous parastatals in most countries of the world, except those enfolded by the infinite mercy of Allah like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and a few others. Any country that escaped this grip of imperialism could not escape the other.
In the human or social arena as I may put it, they could control the Muslim countries to a great extent. That is why today we see many of them with great love and inclination towards Western attitudes that are anti-Islam and beyond every sense of shame and disapproval.
The factional impact manifests in the sentimental inclination of the poor to communism, inclination of the oppressed to democracy and crave of the less privileged for liberalism, secularism and idealism.
They speak we believe. When they destroy we seek excuses for them. When they kill we say: after all the criminal has been killed. When they open fire we say: it is just the beginning, it is of no value. When they disintegrate we say: he deserves that. When they capture, we clap hands for them because they indeed have right to power. They could snatch away our wishes and accordingly achieved all their objectives.
They didn’t achieve all what they have today out of sheer intelligence but because they are the most intellectual fools, the most organized elements of disunion and the most active indolent.
Of course, they could actualize their plans in order to destabilize this Ummah (nation).
There is no doubt that we have deeply aided and abetted them by sowing their poisonous seeds in the midst of our children, boys and girls. We finally lost our bearing, discarded our fundamentals and retired to crying and sometimes pretending to be crying.
Following this cry we resort to our plays and amusements and then back to crying. Our skeletons have deserted us to become victims of circumstance. We cry when we perceive the horrible scenes but laugh audibly at the slightest scene of amusement. Let's contemplate and meditate a while or more with some seriousness.
My heart gets grieved the more but the dead can not respond.
When the Holy Qur’an was desecrated in Gwantanamo, the Muslims rose suddenly from the deep slumber, became serious, determined and resolute to over come the disgrace. They supplicated hardly and humbly to be granted honor and power. They unsheathed their swords and mobilized one another like a whirling wind in a storming night to protect their sanctity. They inspired one another from their fountain of wisdom and eloquence and came out in groups to demonstrate publicly for hours and some days against the erroneous act of desecrating the Qur’an. This was the end of that incidence and after some time, the West has again emerged to dishonor the best of all creatures that thread on the surface of this earth, the beloved servant of Allah, our Prophet and Messenger Muhammad the son of Abdullah. (may the peace & blessings of Allah be with him)
Denmark is for the third time organizing a prize-winning competition for any one who can produce the worst caricature of the chief of all creatures. Some people may be ignorant of this fact that Denmark, Norway, Holland and Vienna have once committed this kind of crime before.
They are quite aware that we would surely demonstrate and organize public rally or economic boycott. One shouldn’t imagine that they were not prepared for this. They are indeed fighting us to satisfy their brutal natural impulse and to reveal their hidden rancor for the Muslims. Allah the most High said:
(وَدُّوا ما عَنِتُّم قدْ بَدَتِ البغضاءُ مِنْ أَفْواهِهِم ومَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُم أَكْبَر قَدْ بَيَّنّا لكم الآياتِ إِنْ كُنتُم تَعْقِلون),
meaning:
"They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs if you will use reason".
Muhammad the son of Abdullah is the seal of prophets and messengers according to the Muslim belief. He is also the chief of all creatures as believed by their intellectuals and even by the prime of their literary gurus.
Let's float in the sky of Muhammad. (may blessings and peace of Allah be with him).
O you Vikings! Listen to that which you know not!
I shall define whom I mean by the savage and brutal Vikings.
The prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be with him), was a devoted worshiper. He used to observe the midnight prayers.
Allah the most high said:
(يا أَيُّها المُزَّمِّل قُمِ اللَّيلَ إِلاّ قَلِيلاً),
Meaning:
"O you who raps himself in clothing! Arise to pray in the night, except for a little"
He would stand during the midnight long prayers to the extent that his feet would swell up out of excessive standing. He was a marvelous meditator, a great thinker that supersedes all categories of human thinkers. May the blessings and peace of Allah be with him. He was a lover of peace and pliancy in dealing. He says in one of the traditions on the authority of Al-Bukhary:
"Facilitate and don’t make things difficult for people. Placate and don’t scare them away".
The prophet (may blessings and peace of Allah be on him) was always frugal and ascetic as far as mundane acquisitions are concerned. He rejected the kingdom of the tribe of Quraish when he was granted the offer to be one in lieu of renouncing the message he was propagating. He had this credit registered for him in the history of Mankind as he was greatly abstemious from the glamour of this world especially in a situation where the offer was granted.
His food was bread made from barley. He had power over the entire Arabian Peninsula and its wealth but he wore fragments and slept on the mat. He preferred to distribute the wealth to the Muslims. (May the peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
He was humble and generous. He carried the load of an old woman from the market to her house. In appreciation, the old woman could only say: O my dear son! I have no material wealth to reward you but I would admonish you to be far away from that man addressed Muhammad who has renounced the religion of his ancestors. He then replied: I am Muhammad! The old woman couldn’t help than embracing Islam and submitting to the will of Allah.
Prophet Muhammad was very just, compassionate and forgiving. In his regard Allah said:
(وَما أَرْسلْناكَ إِلاَّ رَحْمَةً لِلْعالََمين),
meaning:
"And We have not sent you (O' Muhammad) except as a mercy to the worlds".
He used to say: "He that does not show mercy to others would not deserve any mercy".
Throughout the ages, it is only him that had the most wonderful kind of forgiveness recorded for in the history of humanity. This was when he pardoned the chief hypocrite Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul after he [S.A.W] had been informed of his ill speech about Aishah the prophet's wife. The honourable companions had asked for permission to execute the man but he [S.A.W] said: "I do not want people to say that Muhammad is killing his followers".
He even exceeded all bounds when he learnt of the man’s death to shroud him with his own blessed garment, observed the funeral prayer, buried him and supplicated for forgiveness on his behalf.
In the tradition narrated by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he said I lived with the messenger of Allah for ten good years. All this while, he never abused nor beat me. Nor did he ever say for what I have done: why have you done this? and for what I failed to do: why didn’t you do that? If we were to narrate the biography of this messenger of Allah, we would require decades of years. May the blessings and peace of Allah be with him.
We Muslims will never disguise under the religious canopy as the non-believers do to venerate their churches, Copts and popes.
The Europeans know very well that we Muslims are good at narrating the glory of our past but they fail to realize that we are strong whenever we uphold the rules and regulations of Islam. There would be a time when our religious consciousness would have us reject any kind of absolutism.
Though we suffer disintegration but we are self-sufficient. The wealth we own help to run, stabilize and enhance the growth of their economy. They even compete to display their goods and products in our markets. Though they never forget that we are Muslims but they have the natural instinct of tribulating our lives. They want to destabilize our thoughts because they fear that they would affect them negatively one day.
My dear brothers and sisters! Let this economic boycott be just a glimpse of awakening to us all. Let it be a source of better adherence to our religion and mutual love for one another. We ought to be proud at least of this general economic boycott because it is the least action we can take now.
We ought not to be overzealous with it any way because it is something that stands inevitable at this situation. We should just regard the boycott as a communal reaction, which is natural in humans. We ought not make it the all and final aim and objective because it is a minor thing.
Verily, what is required of us now is to organize public symposia to nurture our intellects and remember the glory of our history in the past which has long been left in the lurch. There is need to consult our intellects to emend the areas where we have been negligent, be it mutual support or keeping of the ties of blood relation.
We have much to retrieve from our past history. We must retrieve the great love for our past in order to pave way for the future. We must remember the history of this great nation [Ummah]. There is need to learn lessons from our past. We must destroy that fortress of walls that disengage us from loving our time-honored and glorious past. We ought to be victorious and observant of the principle of allegiance and disavowal. We must dislodge the idolistic images created in our minds.
We must discard secularism that is overburdening us unknowingly.
Now let's sail towards Europe to draw comparison between its savage history and the history of Islam which is filled with simplicity, purity, leniency and decency.
Europe was inhabited by the Vikings throughout the ages. They are people with natural disposition to brutality, savagery and illegal execution of human souls. Their leaders were deadly crowned with racism. Apartheid was the ultimate goal and recourse in all their dealings. They were and even up to date disguised under the shade of Christianity, an interpolated, adulterated and flexible religion that suits their whims and fancies. They accuse us of terrorism in their lands and ours.
Here is a food for thought dear Europeans.
What made the unbridled Nazi Party to kill thousands of souls and still continues to kill in some cities of Germany and Finland?
Who is responsible for the confessional and racial conflicts in France?
Who caused the intermittent wars between the Catholic and the Protestant minorities in Ireland?
Who is responsible for the racial and sectarian wars between Spain and Portugal?
Why were the 1st and 2nd world wars on the grounds of racial and material acquisition?
Why is it that the number of death casualties of the first and second world wars was so great that it surpasses the horizon of stipulation?
This is but a glimpse. To proceed further,
Europe lived in the Dark Ages where by existed the priests, the actual aborigines of the continent. Therein was the feudal system that oppressed, persecuted and disdained many European races. Feudalism is a system of government where by a feudal lord or the liege lord owns a piece of land and all what is in it including men, women, children, estate, land and others.
Therein, the flexible Church is vested with all powers to legislate the laws of life according to the dictates of the feudal lord or the presbyter. It had to kill the famous scientist Galileo just because he propounded that the earth is in the form of a globe.
