Wake Up Now

By: Raqif Makhdoomi

Flood threat is once again looming over Kashmir and everyone is calling is “Global Warming” or “mismanagement”. But each one of us is missing the real point . This is nothing less than punishment of our deeds . Whatever we try to do to ignore what Allah has mentioned about Floods , Feminine , earthquakes or other natural disasters in Qur’an  . At the end of the day we have no other option but to accept that  whatever we are facing is all because of our deeds.
The Qur’an is full of the events regarding to what happened to those who didn’t obey the order of Allah . We are living in the time were we everyone considers himself or herself a Scholar and starts preaching Islam on YouTube .  One of the main reasons why the present generation is moving towards destruction is because some so called Scholars have made every prohibited  thing in Islam, Halal . The theories they provide for it have no connection with Islam in any way . But when it allows what they like, they hold on to it . And when you ask them to refer to some other scholar . They reply “These Scholars are lying . And that they don’t blindly trust them”. But this does not apply to the one who help them with their view of Soft Islam .
Dr. Israr Ahmad [RA] is often being misquoted . In one of his clips he says there’s no Molive profession . But the other part is neglected . He adds ‘ Study about Islam by yourself ‘ . They know this shall put them under obligation , so they skip this part. The behavior that we as Muslims have today , the same behavior was found in Non-Muslims of Makkha . Known as Kufar -E-Makkha . They used to tell Prophet [saw], we have no problem with your religion but don’t speak against our Gods . Same is the case with the Muslims. They have accepted everything but don’t want to follow it . Kufar-E-Makkha weren’t ready to accept the teachings of  Prophet [saw] because they weren’t ready to go against their ancestors and we sideline the teachings just for the worldly gains .
A scholar of Afghanistan has said “ Had Suhabies been in today’s times .We would have called them Mad people . But if we had been in those days . They would have called us Non-Muslims” . The scholar said 100% right .
It’s a Hadith were Prophet Muhammad [saw] said ‘There will come a time when my ummah act like Non-Muslims as if they are pair of shoes’ . Means there shall be no difference between them as there is no difference between a pair of shoes .
Day after day we are leaving one after another the sunnah of prophet and we still dream of having rewards like the companion of Prophet [saw] shall have . They were an institution   in themselves . They had the believe in Allah that we shall never have
The Prophet [saw] Said, “Between man and Polytheism and unbelief is the abandonment of salat “. Sahih Muslim , Hadith Number 82. How many of us skip daily five obligatory prayers and still don’t feel guilty about it . And we still think Allah will not do what he did other who came before us , who disobeyed him . The people of Hazrat Musa [A.S] , were prohibited from having fish on Saturday . As the time went by people started to question this order of Allah . As we have started to question Namaz, Zakat , Halal, Haram and almost every other thing that we don’t want to act upon or is difficult to act upon . The people of Musa  [AS ]Said  , We are just asked not to eat fish but we aren’t stopped from fishing , they made arrangements to store fish which they could use on Sunday and so on . The another group came up and said “What Saturday , what Sunday we will eat when we want to”. We all know what happened to them . The people of Hazrat Lut [AS], the people of Hazrat Suhaib [AS] , the people of Hazrat Nuh [AS] and many other prophets got removed from the surface of earth just because they disobeyed the command of Allah . What I have written aren’t things that are just stories but events mentioned in Qur’an . If you still doubt then your Faith is weak because this Quran can never lie .
There’s often an excuse that we present . ‘Everyone is doing it. It’s just normal . So why shouldn’t I? the Qur’an has answered the question in Surah 6 , Ayat 116. It says “And if you follow most of those on earth , they will mislead you far away from Allah’s path . They follow nothing except conjectures, and they do nothing except lies”.
On the day of Judgment no one can take defense of majority . Allah has already made us aware about following majority .
Ahmed deedat said “ Islam will win , with or without you. But without Islam you will be lost and you will lose “  .  We must remember when Hazrat Nuh [AS] took his people in the ship, his own son was left behind and died because of floods. His son was among the disbelievers . That’s what deedat {ra} said , you will loose without Islam . Allah by one way or the another shall spread Islam . But it shall be us who shall loose .
Its better we read Quran and understand it . The only way to come out of the present crises. Remember Allah doesn’t need us, We need him. He shall remove us and get other people.
My dear Muslims wake up before its too late .
