"Those Merchants of the Nation Who Have Become Accustomed to Autumn"
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Essay (95)
Today's era is seemingly called the era of awareness, awakening, and progress, but if we delve a little deeper, we see a strange contradiction. Nations claim to be awakening, but within them, there are elements that are the greatest enemies of awakening. These are the people who outwardly sing the song of national pain, but in reality, they have become prisoners of their own selves. In their view, the spring of their own autonomy is more important than the spring of the garden. What kind of autumn is this that some people are lamenting, and in the shadow of the same autumn, they are shining their shops? What a tragedy that the garden is withering, the buds are fading, but instead of sorrow, there is a glimpse of satisfaction on the gardener's face? The real truth is that this autumn is poison for the garden, but it has become honey for these so-called guardians. These are the people who have made the destruction of the garden their capital. They do not want spring to come, because when spring comes, their monopoly will end, their false dignity will be reduced to dust, and new gardeners, new guardians will emerge who will truly beautify this garden. These elements are actually of a duplicitous character, slogans of reform on the tongue, something else in the heart. These are the "saintly" people who consider every new emerging leader a threat.
As soon as a talented individual steps into the field, they begin to assassinate his character, discourage him, and create obstacles in his path. Why? Because they fear that if this person succeeds, their shop will close. This is the class that keeps the nation divided, appoints itself to the position of 'sole interpreter,' and continues to reap benefits while beating the drum of its ego." These are the people who cry about autumn, but in their hearts, they pray that this autumn never ends. The sad thing is that the common Muslim is deceived by their smooth talk, is influenced by their slogans, and fails to recognize the real enemy.
This autumn is not just a season... it is a thought! It is a conspiracy! It is a trap in which the entire nation has been entangled. The garden is withering, but there are some faces that are smiling even in this desolation. Why? Because for them, this autumn is not a loss... it is a profit! These are the people who: build their power on the weaknesses of the nation, make discord their strategy, and consider it their success to extinguish every new lamp of leadership. These people are afraid of spring! Because spring brings justice, spring revives the truth, and spring brings out new faces. They fear that if a sincere leader emerges, their castles of lies will be razed to the ground, their monopoly will end, and their "autumn business" will be destroyed. That is why what do they do? They turn hope into despair, unity into discord, and courage into fear. These are the characters who are outwardly "well-wishers of the nation," but in reality, "thorns in the path of the nation."
O people of the nation! Open your eyes! This is not the time to sleep, it is the time to wake up. How long will you be kept imprisoned in the web of words? How long will your emotions be used? How long will your dreams be traded? This is the time to recognize: who is your well-wisher? And who is thriving on your weaknesses? Now is the time that you do not just listen... understand! Do not just see... recognize!
Remember! Whoever stops you from moving forward is not yours! Whoever scares you is not your well-wisher! And whoever makes you fight among yourselves is your biggest enemy! This is the era where sincerity has also veiled itself, and trade is also manifested in the guise of goodwill.
O Muslim nation! Nations live when:
They develop the courage to call truth truth, they expose falsehood, and they either improve the cold gardeners of their garden by recognizing them or separate them from the garden. This is not the time to wait for someone... this is the time to change yourself!
If you still do not open your eyes today,
Then remember!
This autumn will become your destiny, and your future generations will question you.
Remember! Until you recognize the merchants of autumn, the dream of spring will never be realized. The destiny of nations changes when they expose the cold gardeners of their garden and bring sincere leadership forward.
Therefore, arise! Awaken your consciousness! Kindle the fire of honor in your hearts! This garden is yours, its protection is your responsibility, and its spring is also in your hands! Recognize these merchants of autumn, break their deceit,
And lay the foundation for such a spring that is not just a season... but a revolution! Otherwise, the day is not far when autumn will not just be a season, but will become your permanent destiny.
Therefore!.. The nation that recognizes the cold gardeners of its garden, defeats autumn and makes spring its destiny!"
"When the nation awakens, the merchants of autumn automatically disappear, and spring does not knock on the door... it enters by breaking the door!"
