{The conditions of the Muslim Ummah and the guidance of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)}

✍🏻 It is stated in the Holy Quran

Laqad kana lakum fi Rasool Allahi uswatun hasanah

There is an excellent example for you in the life of the Messenger,

(Surah Al-Ahzab, Verse 21)

The life of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is an ideal and example for the Muslim Ummah. People receive all kinds of guidance from the life of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). There is no turning point in life that we do not find a solution to in the life of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) can solve all the problems of life,

The secret of the nation's progress lies in the Quran and Sunnah,

No believer has any doubt or hesitation about the truth and correctness of the Holy Quran and the Messenger of Allah because he cannot be a believer without it.

The Ummah of Muhammad has superiority and pride over all other Ummahs, and its foundation is also the Quran and Sunnah.

There is a command of Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran everywhere, if you want success and prosperity in this world and the hereafter, then obey Allah and His Prophet.

And it is explicitly mentioned in the Quran that the success of the Companions was possible because of following the method of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and on this basis, the Companions were given the glad tidings of "Radi Allahu Anhum wa Radu Anhu".

The success of the people of faith in the world is evident in the books of history. Only a few people waved the flag of truth in all four corners of the world and gave this message to the world that

O people! Your success lies in following the path of truth, in ending oppression and spreading justice, in spreading love and reducing hatred.

If you study history, it will become clear that the duty of politics that the Rightly Guided Caliphs performed, history is unable to present an example of it. The Companions achieved success in politics and caliphate from the beginning to the end, and why not, since this holy and pure army and group were trained by the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Today, the Muslim Ummah also wants success, it wants to run horses in the water, the oppressor trembles at its voice, its awe is ingrained in the hearts of the enemies, its influence is talked about in the world, and its power is famous all over the world, no one has the right to take action against it,

The opponents of Islam submit to the truth, whatever they touch turns to gold,

But the Muslim Ummah does not consider when and how all these qualities can be created?

The answer to this is that we should see what principles the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has given for a successful life, what is the clarity of these principles in the texts? What was the role of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his Companions in politics, what was their style of politics, what was their political awareness?

As if we get the way to deal with all kinds of difficult situations and to be successful in them from the life of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his honorable Companions.

Today, the Muslim Ummah is facing countless calamities and seemingly insoluble problems.

Overall, storms of oppression are blowing everywhere, injustice is rampant, turning away from the truth is common, and the epidemic of unfair treatment of the weak and helpless is common.

Not only nationwide but also globally, preparations for the demolition of the people of truth are accelerating.

The question arises why such situations arise, what are their causes,

We need to consider why difficult situations arise.

If we use our intellect and wisdom, and study the biography of the Prophet and history, the solution to all our questions will be found in a snap.

Its conclusion is that when we are believers, then trials and examinations are common for us so that our relationship with Allah remains strong and the expectation of His support and help remains, the second is distance from obedience to God and the Sunnah of the Messenger,


Whether the circumstances are pleasant or unpleasant, all these are trials and rewards from Allah.

The Holy Quran states

Walanabluwannakum bishai'im minal khawfi waljoo'i wanaqsim minal amwali wal anfusi waththamaraati wabashshiris saabireen

And surely We will test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, and give glad tidings to the patient.

(Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 155)


, It is stated in another place in Surah Al-Baqarah

Am hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata walamma ya'tikum mithlul lazheena khalaw min qablikum massathumul ba'saau waddarraau wazulziloo hatta yaqoolar rasoolu wallazheena aamanoo ma'ahoo mataa nasrullahi

Alaa inna nasrullahi qareeb

Translation

Do you think that you will enter Paradise just like that, when the conditions like those who passed before you have not come upon you, they were afflicted with poverty and hardships, they were shaken until the Messenger and the people of faith said, when will Allah's help come, listen, surely Allah's help is near.

(Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 214)


Allah Almighty subjected His prophets and their followers to inevitable circumstances, and as a result, they achieved success.


The conditions in Makkah during the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are almost the same now. The way the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his honorable Companions were persecuted at that time, they are being persecuted today in the same way. The way they were prevented from the symbols of Islam there, they are being prevented today. The way the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his Companions were given trouble during the prayer, now sticks and batons are being used. The way the Companions were killed individually there, here also travelers and even Muslims are being killed. The way the people of Makkah were determined to end Islam, today also those impure descendants are determined to erase Islam. The way they used to try to turn the Companions away from Islam as much as possible, today also the effort to apostatize from Islam is going on, and this is not only in the land of Hind but also globally, this is the situation.

Now it remains to be seen what are the teachings and guidance of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at such a time and what was his political life in this regard.

If you study the political aspect of the Prophet's biography, you will find that as long as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in Makkah, he did not adopt any form of response but kept enduring it. There are two reasons for this.

Number 1: Lack of resources

Number 2: Waiting for divine command

But when the situation became more difficult, then the command of migration to Madinah came from Allah Almighty and his Companions gradually migrated to Madinah, and there they gave the message of peace and reconciliation and made covenants with the hypocrites and Jews, established the Islamic system, strengthened Islam and the people of Islam, prepared war equipment and weapons, learned swordsmanship and archery, when the power increased, the strength became fully established, then retaliatory action was started, in this strategy Allah Almighty gave success.

Today, if such unspeakable conditions have arisen, there is no need to be afraid and there is no need to make any decision in emotions that will harm the people of Islam and will not benefit them in any way, but we should enter the educational and political arena and become successful, create unity and harmony in terms of faith and belief, create religious awareness, strengthen our relationship with Allah.

Remove the love of the world and the love of fame from your mind and understand that the world is a testing ground not only for the people of faith but for the entire human race. Allah sometimes tests by giving something, which we call pleasant circumstances, and sometimes tests by taking something, which we call unpleasant circumstances.

Man should not be affected by all these circumstances, but should remain steadfast on the truth, praise and thank his Lord.

Remember that whoever departs from this world in a state of faith and steadfastness on the truth, success will be his destiny, and whoever turns away from the truth out of fear of circumstances and gets carried away in the flow of circumstances, eternal humiliation and disgrace will be his destiny.

May Allah Almighty keep us all steadfast on the truth, and grant us the ability to be patient and steadfast in trials and have faith in Allah, Amen.
