A screw in the machinery of the Kuffaaar! Chapter 2 Verse 120
With the name of Allah, Most Kind Most Merciful…
| وَلا | الْيَهُودُ | عَنْكَ | تَرْضَى | وَلَنْ |
| And not | The Jews | With you | Pleased | And Never |
| مِلَّتَهُمْ | تَتَّبِعَ | حَتَّى | النَّصَارَى | |
| Their ways | You follow | until | The Christians | |
| Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with you unless you follow their ways | ||||
وَلَنْ تَرْضَى عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلا النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ
قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَى
وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ
مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصِيرٍ
Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their ways.
Say: “The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance.”
Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee,
then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah.
Surah 2 Verse 120
The Prophet(SAW) is reported to have said
“You will be raised with those whom you imitate”
The late Abdul Majid may Allah, grant him Peace in Jannah in nearness to him is reported to have said when leaving his job in an insurance company to teach and spread the message of the Quraan “I was a screw in the machinery of the Kuffaar”
I have been wondering why the world is soooo chaotic. Prices of food, clothing, stuff is gone sooo expensive, life is getting harder and harder. One cannot watch any news broadcast without some riot somewhere as people take to the streets to vent their frustrations as they battle to cope with the stress of financial doom.
We have the Quraan and the example of the Prophet(SAW) and yet as the Muslim Ummah, we are powerless. The justly balanced ummah that is suppose to be witness’s over humanity(Surah 2 Verse 143) seem asleep.
Then it struck me, most of us have been converted, nope, not to Christianity, nor to Judaism, but to “their ways”. How can we protect the planet and all it’s inhabitants if we have become part of the problem. “Their Ways”, their lifestyle.
Our lifestyle is distinct and theirs too
The Hijaab is so distinct, full of honor,
The mini, bikini, tight fitting clothes is so raw and full of attraction
Halaal food, food over which Allah(SWT)’s name is taken is full of blessing and is distinct.
Islamic finance is distinct, no interest, no undue increase,
The Western finance is amazing, every time my rent is a day late they charge interest. Rentals go up for no reason other than greed. The past few decades we have seen this greed take on new meaning, leading to the greatest disaster the world has seen. Cyprus had to take money from it’s citizens accounts without permission to service it’s debt, by force of the borrowers.
…………..the list continues…..
Are we humble servants of Allah(SWT) striving for a better world, living as servants of Allah(SWT)
OR
Are we those that focus sooo much on ourselves that we have no time, no love, no concern for the rest of creation, serving only our self interests?
Beware
It’s not just our actions that should be protected from straying away from Islam but our mentality too.
Recently I re-visited a book I read years ago, “The International Jew”, by Henry Ford. In it he discusses the protocols of Zion and expands on their effect on America.
Among the various strategies to gain control of the world, 2 concepts are repeated quite often, concepts that once infiltrate our minds become a cancer
- Liberalism – One of the liberalism ideas in the book goes something like this. “If the poison of liberalism can be established in a country, one could have as many factions as people”. Divide and conquer. Don’t be fooled by the westernized, democratic idea of Liberalism. It’s aim is to fragment a nation into individualism, where each fights for his/her own rights leading to a fragmented, weak and gullible society. Just think with all the liberties and freedoms in America, there are really only 2 parties. TWO parties, hmmm…so much for choice, so much for freedom…
- “Broad Mindedness” – This is a most deceptive idea that has been used to slowly decay morality and values in a society. C’mon “Be broad minded”, ok sir, and so that’s how we got naked women committing adultery on national tv. It started modestly, then there was some kissing, be broad minded, then the skirts got a bit shorter, be broad minded, don’t get excited even though God’s Laws are being trample, be broad minded, then, then and so too everything in morality, justice and fairness decayed.
In Islam there are liberties, but simply within limits.
There is “broad mindedness” but not with regard to the laws of Our Creator, Allah to whom belong all Praise and Glory…
Just some thoughts!
May Allah(SWT) makes us proudly, distinct Muslims that are well pleased with the greatest gift He has given us, a complete lifestyle as guided by the Quraan and exemplified by our beloved Rasool(SAW) – Deen Al Islam!
قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَى
Say: “The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance.”
