{The Severity of Circumstances as a Means to Return to Allah}
The clash and contradiction between truth and falsehood has existed since the dawn of time. In every era, falsehood has raised its head and tried to show its power.
But Allah Almighty has also sent down truth and the people of truth to eradicate falsehood. The conflict between truth and falsehood is nothing new. Rather, human history is a witness that people have turned away from the truth. People have refused to accept the truth by being deceived by Satan.
The first murder also happened because Qabil unjustly killed Habil to fulfill his purpose.
Because truth is against human nature and its temperament, it is a test for the servants to see who sacrifices desires to find the path of truth and who does the opposite.
The purpose of life and death is also a test and examination.
Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran!
He is the Great God in whose possession is all dominion, and He has power over all things, so that He may test you as to which of you is best in deeds, and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving.
(Surah Al-Mulk, Bayan-ul-Quran, Volume 3)
Since examination is characterized by fickleness, change and transformation are its hallmarks, and stagnation and stability are rare in it, so when it goes astray, turns away from the truth, and disregards the command of God; then God, being merciful to His servants, sends His chosen messengers and envoys for the guidance of His servants so that they may be reformed, attain divine knowledge, and be freed from the worries of the mortal world and think about the eternal world (the Hereafter).
If a person obeys his prophet and messenger, and considers his guiding light as a treasure and acts upon it, then he gets the certificate and degree of 'faqad faza fauzan azima' (he has indeed achieved a great success), otherwise not.
That is, if he disobeys his prophet and refuses to accept his words, then the Holy Quran has mentioned severe warnings in harsh words, which are expressed as severe punishment, painful punishment, 'fi naar jahannam khalideen fiha' (they will abide in Hell forever), and similar harshest words, and they have been threatened.
But those who are wretched and foolish; the truth does not penetrate them, they deviate from the truth because of ego and stubbornness.
Then these people constantly try to erase the people of truth, and start satanic movements as if they are devils in human form. Just as Satan wants to have a companion in Hell, similarly, the enemies of Islam, who are mentally challenged, are also thinking of having a companion in Hell, and this is only possible when they remove the people of truth from their path and make them like-minded and in agreement with them.
Great misfortune and deprivation for those who fall prey to the deceitful traps of such people and become rebels against God, and trade their eternal life for temporary gain.
That is why there is an uproar in the whole world today, all the people of the world are worried, and they are far away from justice and fairness.
False powers, wearing the cloak of arrogance and pride, are especially troubling those who believe in one God and the Last Prophet at the global level. It is no secret to anyone that there is no nation more oppressed than Muslims today.
The opponents of Islam do not tolerate their existence, so they are making futile efforts to push back Islam and its followers through mental, intellectual, and physical attacks.
Every possible effort is being made to erase Islam from Europe, Andalusia, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Burma, and India. In the recent Palestinian invasion, thousands of honorable and chaste souls have gone to God, joined the people of loyalty, and become residents of Paradise.
But Islam is eternal and will remain eternal. The people of Islam have never been stingy in sacrificing their lives in the way of God, nor is it expected in the future, because this life is a trust from Allah, and this trust must be entrusted to Him. Allah has bought this life in exchange for Paradise, as Allah Almighty says in Surah At-Tawbah.
Allah has surely purchased from the believers their lives and their properties for that they shall have Paradise. - Al-Ayah
(Surah At-Tawbah, Verse 111, Bayan-ul-Quran, Volume 2)
Today, in the land of India, the aggressive oppression and violence that Muslims are facing from the Hindus at the instigation of the Crusaders and Zionists is no secret to anyone. All kinds of attacks and disturbances are being carried out by the false Hindus, sometimes laws are made against the divine commands, sometimes attacks are made on places of worship. There are countless ancient mosques in Delhi and its suburbs that the government has closed down. Muslims are not allowed to go there. Drunk people do obscene acts there. Men and women are generally allowed to mix and engage in sexual acts.
Mental and intellectual attacks are such that our daughters, our children, and our elders are adopting the path of apostasy in various ways. Sometimes, fake documents are prepared regarding ancient mosques and petitions are filed in the lower courts, and the judges of the court, who have lost their mental capacity, issue orders for the inspection of those places without hearing the arguments and evidence from both sides. They need to think, God is in the whole world, He is present everywhere and is aware of the deeds of human beings, then why are they digging the mosque, rather they should dig all the lands of the country without discrimination.
Anyway! The situation is very deplorable, but we should not be disappointed.
Disappointment has been forbidden in the Holy Quran, so it is said:
Wa la tai'asu min rauhi Allahi al-ayah (And do not despair of the mercy of Allah)
Translation: And do not despair of the mercy of Allah, indeed, only the heretics despair of the mercy of Allah.
These situations! Allah Almighty creates this also so that we may turn to Allah, adhere to the divine commands with perseverance, and pay attention to the necessities and tools for the survival of faith and Islam. There is a reference to this in the word of God.
Wa la tahinu wa la tahzanu wa antum al-a'luna in kuntum mu'minin
And do not lose heart, do not grieve, and you will have the upper hand if you are true believers.
(Bayan-ul-Quran, Volume 2, Verse 139)
We get the lesson of sacrifice and devotion from the life of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and his companions, and from our predecessors and elders. Therefore, we need to learn from it.
May Allah grant us steadfastness on His religion, and may He repel falsehood and its followers. Amen.
