Dear Muslims,
After reading this(*) emotionally moving story of the palistine martyr boy, one realizes the weakness of today’s Muslims, we are the followers of the most powerful Allah, we have the only “strong” force in the universe behind us and still…
Why?..
It is about time that we realised our mistakes, God says: pray for something and I’ll give it to you.
When we pray to Allah we ask him for power, we ask him for victory, do we really want it? Why do we want it? Will be able to accept Islam and live upto it with our present state. Would we give the right oulook as a Muslim to others…?
I do not remember the exact ayahs, but Allah says in the Holy Quran that if we are to do Jihad against these butchers (the real terrorists) then we will have to start with ourselfs, Jihad with our nafs, we will have to make ourselves representable to God.
Remember, we do a lot to make a good impact on our boss, yet we do nothing to make a right impact on the Ultimate Boss. We love our parents, we go to extremes for them, yet when it comes to doing an islamic deed for our creator, we are scared that others may call us of “backward nature”.
Only after being strong muslims of character, we proceed to the next level of Jihad.
We do Jihad with our community, make our family, friends, relatives, etc.. representable to God. Then we combine, plan wisely and finally do Jihad against the non-believers.
To make a house on earth takes years and years of hardwork and devotion, to earn a palace in Jannah, a supreme palace!, takes only the title “Muslim”!!!
We shouldn’t compare ourselves with normal people, the only people who we are sure will go to jannah, were the few of the Prophet’s (saw) time. Are we as good as them?
If We die this very moment are we SURE that we will escape from the terrible punishment…have we pleased Allah enough?
If we want to do something the time to take action is NOW!, start self-Jihad now!, don’t leave everything to the leaders…if you were in their place would you be able to lead us to victory…you will most certainly need a more willing people.
InshaAllah..God will help us find a way.
May God lead up all to the straight path. (Aameen)
