Paralyzed in fear and dismay
‘Umar radhiallahu anhu once said that “Any Muslim who doesn’t care about what the enemies of Islam prepared against him, nor does distinguish between what is Jahiliyyah and what is not, he is not a Muslim.”
It is clear, that for the Islamic Ummah to remain paralysed in terror is not an option. We must surge forward to take the painful path and embrace Islam in the fullest meaning of the word and take the Message of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Islam came as a strange and unique way of life at a time of deep ignorance and injustice when falsehood reigned supreme and the weak were persecuted. The noble sahaba radhiallahu anhum and the Muslims at the time though under tremendous suffering and fear and though weak and few in number believed fully and grasped the Deen of Islam as the Solution and as the Truth. Despite everything that befell them, they chose to live as slaves to the Creator subhanahu wa ta’ala and to submit only to the Command and Will of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. To implement fully, without compromise the Aqeedah, concepts and ahkam, as well as the ruling system and societal structure of Islam.
It is a time for resolute decision for this noble Ummah. We must search deep within ourselves. Do we truly believe that the pure Deen of Islam can protect us and saves us from this tyranny of the kuffar? More to the point – is it not time for us to answer and rise up to the call of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and His Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
None of these so called hyper or super power states are a barrier or obstacles to Paradise, whether singly or altogether. Rather, they are gateways to pleasing Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. We have dealt with super powers before – Rome and Persia fell to a nascent Khilafah at the time of the Khulafa’ Ar Rashideen radhiallahu anhum. And in our time, the Dutch were beaten and kicked out of Indonesia by the Muslims there.
Like the desperate mother who hesitated, clutching her child before the fire of the tyrant king in the hadith above, if we indeed believe in this Deen, we must jump into the ‘fire’ prepared for us by the kuffar, in order to emerge in the Jannah of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. May Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala grant the true and final Victory to this noble Ummah. May the Islamic Ummah once again be united under the banner of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. May Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala bring the return of Islam and the Khilafah before another single innocent child is lost to the barbarians of the 21st century.
