Oppression Is The Exercise Of Authority Or Power
In A Burdensome, Cruel Or Unjust Manner!
In the previous article on the topic of oppression, we discussed the concept on personal and social level and suggested Islamic teachings on how to combat this atrocity.
In this treatise, we will tackle the issue of oppression from a different point of view and by the Will of Allah [swt], We will give you a comprehensive understanding of the topic.
Civilization And Technology
Complementing Or Contending Forces?
Anything that violates the right of a person or hinders him from thinking, behaving, and making decisions based on personal interest and exercising the freedom that Allah has created humans with is considered oppression.
Anything from economic, psychological or technological point of view that prevents a person from living according to his or her innate liking or comfort can be considered oppressive.
The daily bombardment on a human brain from demands of fast life, instant communication, microwave and harmonic signal exposure, processed food industry, fashion industry and media, to the use of chemicals in daily usage products such as medication and cleaning supplies all have irrevocable effects.
Voluntarily or involuntarily, consciously or subliminally, our behavior, emotions, feelings, the way we make decisions hence our lifestyle is affected by all these entities that we are exposed to.
Can We Honestly Claim…
That We Are Living According To What Is Best For Us?
Aren’t We All Oppressed On Some Level
By These Non Tangible
Non Controllable Elements Surrounding Us?
Humans are an amazing creation of the Almighty; they are able to generate and solve immensely complex situations, yet need simplicity in their sustenance.
If we take the example of food and how it has changed in the last century in terms of its complexity and richness, we will find substantial correlations with increased health related issues.
Two Components Of The Human Beings
Human beings are made up of two components biological and emotional. The biological wellbeing of a person has a direct effect on his emotional well being and vice versa. In the same context, if a person is under severe stress, its effects will be manifested physically on the person.
All Of The Above Mentioned Elements
With High Speed Style Of Life
Generate Unbearable Amount Of Pressure;
Physical, Emotional And Mental
As A Result We Find…
Stress Headaches Confusion
And Psychological Illnesses To Be A Norm!
Increasing Numbers Of Suicides
Especially In Developed Countries
Also Cause Us To Stop And Think…
As To What Really Is Going On?
If we as individuals are under so much emotional stress and anxiety, what effects do you think it will have over our relationships, families, spouses, neighbors, and society in large.
If Everyone…
Is Just As Stressed Out As The Other Person
Who Is Expected To Behave Rationally?
And Who Balances Whom?
The Rat Race
There is a rat race out there of higher speed devices and more advanced technology; with this increase in technology the expectation level also rises. Now more advanced and complex tasks can be accomplished in shorter period of time; and in a competitive society like ours, human limitations are barely acknowledged. This culture of difficult tasks in shorter span of time is visible in all work places and causes anxiety and mental breakdowns.
Due to this being busy, there is lack of reflection and contemplation time which in turn eradicates moral values from the society to the point mischief, corruption, selfishness, greed, revenge, injustice, oppression, suicides and murder become part of daily lives. This causes humans to lose trust of each other and in turn causes more stress which gives rise to isolation, escape from reality through the use of drugs and alcohol, and unrestricted indulgence in carnal desires.
This Attitude Is Not Limited To Individuals Only
We See A Division On The Societal Level
Between High, Middle And Low Classes
Divided Based On Economy
This Is Translated To A Higher Level
Where Nations Are Also Divided
Between Super Powers, Developed And Third World Countries!
We See Massive Amount Of Riches Divided Among The Few Of The Society!
Larger more advanced nations usurping the wealth of poorer, defenseless nations to the point 1/3 of earth’s population lives under poverty. This harbors misery, ignorance, despair and discontentment among a large population of this earth.
The Head Of This Problem Is...
The Greed Of Those Few Who Are Aiming For Power, Fame And Prestige
Even If At The Expense Of Others!
This individuality of thinking and the diseases of the heart have created unrestrained monsters in three piece suits that are running the world show today. The bankruptcy of internal stability, justice, calmness, harmony, balance, the desire of positive contribution, have left us as a society, vulnerable for creating and from being attacked by such individuals.
With All The Technology At The Tip Of Our Fingers
We Lack Knowledge And Understanding
About The Simplest Aspects Of Life...
From How To Eat Healthy
To How To Have A Healthy Relationship With Our Spouse!
We Acquire Knowledge Not For The Sake Of Enhancing Our Lives...
But For The Sake Of Obtaining More Money!
Instead of caring about ourselves and our souls, we as humans are running around trying to satisfy the status quo and to be accepted by everyone around us, regardless of the toll we pay in the process.
Our World Does Not Represent Civilization Anymore
Where Strong Aid The Needy
Rather It Is...
‘The Survival Of The Fittest’ & 'Rule Of The Jungle'
With Powerful Feeding Off The Needy.
Where Are Muslims In This Picture?
What Is The Difference Between Muslims And Others
When We Analyze This Issue?
Honestly Speaking There Is No Difference! Only That We Play The Game With The Logo Of Islam. Now The Real Question Is, "Is This Really Islam?" No Way!
Islam Came To Eradicate Oppression From Society!
It Came To Take People From;
The Darkness Of Injustice To The Light Of Justice
From Shackles Of Slavery In The Society
To The Slavery Of One And Only Lord!
From The Tightness Of Oppression On Earth
To The Infinite Pleasure Of The Hereafter
Allah [swt] Said In Surah A’raf
Is It Not His To Create And To Govern?
Blessed Be Allah, The Cherisher And Sustainer Of The Worlds.
Call On Your Lord With Humility And In Private
For Allah Loves Not Those Who Trespass Beyond Bounds.
Do No Mischief On The Earth, After It Has Been Set In Order,
But Call On Him With Fear And Longing
(In Your Hearts)
For The Mercy Of Allah Is (Always) Near To Those Who Do Good.
Chap 7 Verse 54-56
He [swt] Goes On To Say
In HADEES QUDSI
O My Servants, I Have Forbidden Oppression For Myself
And Have Made It Forbidden Amongst You,
So Do Not Oppress One Another!
(Muslim, Tirmidhi And Ibn Majah)
What Happens When
We Don’t Heed The Advice Of The Almighty
And Oppress Ourselves And Others?
It generates a domino effect in society that has no end. Everyone higher and stronger in society will exercise oppression on those under their authority.
We as humans, are not limited with our oppression to other humans only; this corruption is perpetrated on our environment, rivers, sea, mountains, trees, animals, fish and everything else in existence.
Going back to our topic, there is a reason Allah [swt] always sent his message with the messengers. If He [swt] wanted, he could have sent the books by any means from which we could derive laws and rules.
Allah [swt] Chose
The Nation Of Muhammad (SAW)
To Convey The Message Of Allah And Called Them
The ‘Middle Nation’
The Nation That Is Balanced!
It Is Our Duty To Develop The Quality Of Real Muslims
In Our Conduct And Manners…
In Order To Be Role Models For The World.
The Humanity Is Bereft Of Quality;
People Are Hungry For Real Essence Of Humanity
And This Is The Void We Have To Fill!
Just as important as acquiring the knowledge, is its right implementation. If we want to break this cycle of oppression, first in ourselves and then in society, we have to start by seeking out those successful souls who have been blessed by Allah [swt] to have the knowledge of purification of the heart.
We need to be under the supervision of those successful souls who have been blessed by Allah [swt] until we develop enough awareness and vigilance to break the cycle.
Meet Our Mr. Sheikh Computer
What Has Happened To The Process Of Seeking Sacred Knowledge?
Today majority of the muslim youth rely on “Sheikh Computer” to gain their knowledge and now there is a new sheikh in town “Sheikh I-Phone”, more convenient and user-friendly.
Look at the side effect of such knowledge without the guidance of a teacher, leader, role model or a person with quality. There is massive knowledge available all around us but we forget that the nations before us also had knowledge and technologies. Yet What Became Of Them?
We forget how many verses in the Quran are warning us about nations and civilizations before us that decorated the earth, built and accumulated yet they aggressed and oppressed till Allah [swt] finished them completely with their own knowledge, arrogance and accumulation.
Similarly today, we meet a lot of young people with knowledge on the tongue and memory but bereft of manners and qualities. When they get married and become parents, they transfer this baggage of selfishness, greed, and individuality to their families; thus they fail to generate a harmonious family and the vicious cycle of oppression continues.
All this is going on in the Muslim world because we have broken the sacred tradition of gaining knowledge and wisdom from our elders! Those who have comprehensive, wide and in-depth understanding of many elements in life are moved to the side lines as spectators.
At the same time the self-educated scholars have become the spokespeople of this religion. This generates more individuality, stubbornness, liking of one’s own understanding, division, and so on.
Looking at the overall condition of the Muslim Ummah, this break in the chain of acquiring knowledge seems like such a minor issue. But when you look at its side effects on the individuals, family and society as a whole, it is anything but a minor concern.
When The Humility Of Learning From Elders Is Not Developed
It Has Long Lasting Effects...
There Is More Division And Lack Of Leadership;
Absence Of Unity...
Within The Community, The Family And Society;
Lack Of Love, Compassion, Peace, Tranquility;
Lack Of Harmony, Justice, Generosity, Consideration;
Bankruptcy From All Qualities We Muslims Should Be Famous With!
This absence of actual character and quality generates a hollow human being which in turn creates a sick nucleus of a nation (family). This generates children with complex and diminished personalities, broken souls and spirit, weak faith and understanding in life, ignorance, and arrogance. These children will grow up to be future spouses and parents and thus the cycle continues.
Expose this weak spirited, hollow individual to the psychological and emotional stress, pressure, and confusion prevalent in our society, and we have a failed human being. We reap the outcome of this failure in the form of domestic violence, theft, deception, alcoholism, drug indulgence and bankruptcy of moral values.
The above generates emptiness and sadness inside a human being which they then try to fill with more tech toys and other material wealth. The real happiness is to be found inside the human soul.
This happiness and tranquility is obtained through high moral standing with the almighty creator, proper understanding of life, and true consideration and justice for all human beings.
The Real Problem Arises When Everyone
Is In The State Of Taking!
And No One Is Willing To Give...
If Everyone Is Concerned About
What They Need,
What They Like,
What They Love And Desire,
Then What Happens To Others?
Yet At The Same Time Those Who Are Willing To Give,
What Can They Give?
Can Blind Lead Another Blind?
Can A Cup Give Except What Is Inside?
So if we do not develop ourselves, then even if we desire to spread goodness, we will not succeed except in causing more harm and confusion in society.
Warning From ALLAH [swt]
We will relate verses of the Qur’an that Allah [swt] revealed as warning against heedlessness and arrogance of humans over their advancement.
We will notice that any time a nation became arrogant over its achievements and forgot its Creator, He [swt] brought it low or destroyed it completely.
Surah Al Araf, Ayah 185
Do They See Nothing In The Government
Of The Heavens And The Earth
And All That Allah Has Created?
(Do They Not See) That It May Well Be That
Their Terms Is Nigh Drawing To An End?
In What Message After This Will They Then Believe?
(7:185)
Surah Ar Rum, Ayah 9
Do They Not Travel Through The Earth
And See What Was The End Of Those Before Them?
They Were Superior To Them In Strength
They Tilled The Soil And Populated It
In Greater Numbers Than These Have Done
There Came To Them Their Apostles With Clear (Signs)
(Which They Rejected, To Their Own Destruction)
It Was Not Allah Who Wronged Them
But They Wronged Their Own Souls
(30:9)
Surah Fatir, Ayah 44
Do They Not Travel Through The Earth,
And See What Was The End Of Those Before Them
Though They Were Superior To Them In Strength?
Nor Is Allah To Be Frustrated By Anything
Whatever In The Heavens Or On Earth
For He Is All-Knowing, All-Powerful
(35:44)
Surah Ghafir, Ayah 21
Do They Not Travel Through The Earth
And See What Was The End Of Those Before Them?
They Were Even Superior To Them In Strength,
And In The Traces (They Have Left) In The Land
But Allah Did Call Them To Account For Their Sin,
And None Had They To Defend Them Against Allah.
(40:21)
Surah Ghafir, Ayah 82
Do They Not Travel Through The Earth
And See What Was The End Of Those Before Them?
They Were More Numerous Than These
And Superior In Strength And
In The Traces (They Have Left) In The Land
Yet All That They Accomplished
Was Of No Profit To Them.
(40: 82)
Surah Muhammad, Ayah 10
Do They Not Travel Through The Earth
And See What Was The End
Of Those Before Them (Who Did Evil)?
Allah Brought Utter Destruction On Them
And Similar (Fates Await)
Those Who Reject Allah.
(47:10)
Surah Fatir, Ayah 43
On Account Of Their Arrogance In The Land
And Their Plotting Of Evil, But The Plotting Of Evil
Will Hem In Only The Authors Thereof
Now Are They But Looking For The Way
The Ancients Were Dealt With?
But No Change Will You Find In Allah's Way (Of Dealing)
No Turning Off Will You Find In Allah's Way (Of Dealing)
(35:43)
Surah Al Naml, Ayah 14
And They Rejected Those Signs In Iniquity And Arrogance
Though Their Souls Were Convinced Thereof
So See What Was The End Of Those Who Acted Corruptly!
(27:14)
Surah Al Anaam, Ayah 11
Say:
Travel Through The Earth
And See What Was The End Of Those Who Rejected Truth
(6:11)
Surah An Nahl, Ayah 36
For We Assuredly Sent Amongst Every People An Apostle, (With The Command), "Serve Allah, And Eschew Evil": Of The People Were Some Whom Allah Guided, And Some On Whom Error Became Inevitably (Established). So Travel Through The Earth, And See What Was The End Of Those Who Denied (The Truth). (16:36)
Surah Al Naml, Ayah 69
Say:
Go Ye Through The Earth
And See What Has Been
The End Of Those Guilty (Of Sin)
(27:69)
Surah Al Room, Ayah 42
Travel Through The Earth
And See What Was The End Of
Those Before (You)
Most Of Them Worshipped Others Besides Allah
(30:42)
Surah Yusuf, Ayah 109
Nor Did We Send Before You (As Apostles) Any But Men, Whom We Did Inspire, (Men) Living In Human Habitations. Do They Not Travel Through The Earth, And See What Was The End Of Those Before Them? But The Home Of The Hereafter Is Best, For Those Who Do Right. Will You Not Then Understand? (12:109)
Surah Al Hajj, Ayah 46
Do They Not Travel Through The Land, So That Their Hearts (And Minds) May Thus Learn Wisdom And Their Ears May Thus Learn To Hear? Truly It Is Not Their Eyes That Are Blind, But Their Hearts Which Are In Their Breasts.
(22:46)
Surah Al-E-Imran, Ayah 137
Many Were The Ways Of Life That Have Passed Away Before You Travel Through The Earth And See What Was The End Of Those Who Rejected Truth
(3:137)
Is This ...
The Beginning Of Modern Civilization
Or The End ...?
Achieving The Balance
I believe mankind is running full speed to its downfall and destruction. Majority of people, including Muslims, are in a state of heedlessness, blindness, and arrogance. And instead of following the guidance, wisdom, mercy and peace of the teachings of the Almighty and His prophet (SAW), we are determined to cause our destruction.
We Are All So Busy, Yet So Empty In Our Lives!
Bereft Of Purpose, Goal And Quality!
Is That What We Are Created For?
We have to achieve balance in our lives which is not a matter of choice anymore rather a matter of intense importance, and necessary for spiritual elevation.
Technologically
William Powers wrote a book titled Hamlet’s Blackberry which is a soulful polemic that challenges the sacred dogma of the digital age. He presents both positive and negative effects of being attached to technology and its side effects on humans.
An Important Point The Book Forces One To Think About Is
What Is Technology Doing To Human Relations?
Is It Keeping Us More Connected
Or Is It In Fact Separating Us?
Today husbands and wives text message each other and declare their love in digitally written text. Does it have the same effect that the close human interaction and verbal transaction produces? Can email and text messages convey warmth, love, and consideration which in reality are the core of human relations?
Is Checking On The Person Via Text SMS
Equal The Visit And The Smile?
What Is Next?
A Picture Of A Fruit Basket In Email, In Place Of The Actual Fruit!!!
Environmentally
So the idea is to wean ourselves off technology to attain balance in our lives. We want to use everything at our disposal but not abuse it. The minimum we owe ourselves is to acquire information about main elements affecting our lives to figure out how we can minimize their effects on us, so that we are more influential than these elements in our lives.
This Acquisition Of Knowledge
Transcends All Areas Of Life
From Foods We Eat To The Air We Breath.
We have to start making wise decisions, not only keeping our interests in mind but the interest of our environment and entire humanity. When we learn about these elements affecting us, we will eventually learn to control their effects on us and will be able to bring back the harmony in earth the way Allah [swt] had intended it to be.
Emotionally
This justice and peace in earth is a reflection of the peace and justice we have inside us. If we are not at peace inside, we will not be able to develop a peaceful environment around us.
If Individuals Are Not At Peace
It Reflects In The Form Of Injustice On The Societal Level;
This In Turn Is Shown In The Form Of
Oppression One Nation Perpetrates On Another.
This ability of establishing balance and justice is a gift from Allah for humans; therefore it is possible for us to achieve it.
Allah [swt] says in Surah Rahman
(Allah) Most Gracious!
It Is He Who Has Taught The Qur'an.
He Has Created Man
He Has Taught Him Speech (And Intelligence).
The Sun And The Moon Follow Courses (Exactly) Computed;
And The Herbs And The Trees
Both (Alike) Bow In Adoration.
And The Firmament Has He Raised High
And He Has Set Up The Balance (Of Justice)
In Order That Ye May Not Transgress (Due) Balance.
So Establish Weight With Justice And Fall Not Short In The Balance.
(55:1-9)
Let’s take the example of nuclear waste, it is the product of developed countries which is often dumped in oceans and lands near the third world nations. Therefore, poor people have to pay for the luxury of the rich in the form of severe health and environmental crises.
Another example is the life of honey bees and how human greed to produce more lead to experimentation with pesticides which ended up eradicating entire colonies of bees. This natural method of pollination is at risk which will oppress masses in terms of food shortages and higher cost prices.
Is There A Solution?
If we go back to the basic teachings of our deen and follow the messengers and prophets who were sent as role models for us in terms of thinking, love, behavior, goal in life and character, do you think we will lose?
Allah [swt] Has A Sunnah Or A Decisive Way Of Doing Things
This Sunnah Never Changes!
Though Time, Place And People May Change...
In The Same Way, If We Follow The Footstep Of The Destroyed Nations, How Can We Expect Otherwise? This destruction from Allah came to earlier nations in the form of earthquakes, volcanoes, drought, floods, mudslides, famine. Crisis after crisis until the nation lost its footing and collapsed. Aren’t We Going Through The Same?
How Do We Prevent This Destruction?
Dissolve the cycle of oppression inside of yourself. If each individual is vigilant about not causing oppression to its surroundings, other creatures and humans; and makes wise decisions while keeping the benefit of entire society in mind, we might still be able to prevent further damage.
Allah [swt] Has Promised That This Deen Will Rise And Be Prevalent.
The Question Or Matter Of Concern Is...
Are We Going To Be Part Of This Elevation
Or It Will Take Place Without Us?
Allah [swt] Said In The Qur’an
O You Who Have Attained To Faith!
If You Ever Abandon Your Faith
God Will In Time Bring Forth [In Your Stead] People
Whom He Loves And Who Love Him
Humble Towards The Believers, Proud Towards All Who Deny The Truth
[People] Who Strive Hard In God's Cause
And Do Not Fear To Be Censured By Anyone Who Might Censure Them
Such Is God's Favor
Which He Grants Unto Whom He Wills!
And God Is Infinite All Knowing!
(5:54)
We Have To Break This Cycle Of Oppression
In Ourselves And Our Communities!
If We Don’t Do It, Who Will?
If We Don’t Stand Up For What Is Right
According To Allah [swt] And His Prophet [saws]
And Let Others Be It,
Our Own Families Who Oppress Us,
Into Making Ignorant Decisions!
How Will We Face Allah?
Allah [swt] allowed Muslims in Makkah to migrate to Abbyssinia (which was not even a Muslim land) for the sake of safety; physical and spiritual. If we are in an environment that is oppressing us into living against the teachings of Allah and His Prophet and our Iman is not growing, then the door of migration is open.
Allah [swt] Said
O My Servants Who Believe!
Truly Spacious Is My Earth
Therefore Serve Ye Me (And Me Alone)!
(29:56)
For those born into Muslim families, the issue can arise of the filial piety and the responsibility towards the family.
Also, so called religious families can discourage any such migration by stating the importance of breaking one’s nafs and contentment with the Qadr. They will be absolutely right but here comes the importance of gaining proper knowledge.
Kinds Of Qadr
There are two kinds of Qadr...
1. We have no control over it such as a disease and at a time like this, we should be content and thank Allah for what He gave us.
2. We have control over it. If we are in an environment which is not facilitating to our Iman and we are unable to remain focused on our goal of Akhirah, then it is incumbent upon us to try our best to change the situation.
When Angels Take The Souls Of Those Who Die In Sin Against Their Souls
They Say: In What (Plight) Were Ye?
They Reply: Weak And Oppressed Were We In The Earth!
They Say: Was Not The Earth Of Allah Spacious Enough For You
To Move Yourselves Away (From Evil)?
Such Men Will Find Their Abode In Hell, What An Evil Refuge!
(4:97)
Of course, we will be judged based on our intentions. If anyone uses this argument to move away from their families and their intention is nothing but to run away from responsibility or any such idea, then they will be judged accordingly; our job is to only communicate the accurate knowledge.
We have to strengthen our hearts and learn to prioritize Allah and His religion in our lives. If all our decisions come with Islam as their priority, then these will not be decisions of oppressed people but rather winners of their hearts and souls.
It cannot be stressed enough that the real victory is internal, no matter what the condition of the physical surroundings might be. Once the person develops this victory inside, it will reflect in his attitude and behavior and he will have strength enough to demand victory outside, or migrate away from oppression.
Prophet Muhammad SAW Said
“There Should Be Neither Harming, Nor Reciprocating Harm”
If we develop the right comprehension of the words of Allah and His Prophet SAW, then our lives will automatically be free from oppression and emotional constraints. This will also lead to achievement of real happiness which is to be found inside the human soul.
Reminder!
Allah [swt] Has Filled This Earth
With Signs Of His Existence And Proofs Of His Word!
If we look at the injustices around us and see the extent of oppression perpetrated in our societies we will develop the awareness and eventually, disliking of it in our hearts.
This disliking will lead to zealousness to bring about change and will help in dissolution of the cycle of oppression.
Therefore, Allah [swt] stresses the importance of contemplating on His signs in the following words...
Behold! In This Is A Sign For Those Who Believed
(15:77)
Verily In This Is A Sign For Those Who Give Thought.
(16:11)
Verily In This Is A Sign For Men
Who Celebrate The Praises Of Allah (In Gratitude).
(16:13)
Verily In This Is A Sign For Those Who Listen.
(16:65)
Behold, In This Also Is A Sign For Those Who Are Wise.
(16:67)
Verily In This Is A Sign For Those Who Give Thought.
(16:69)
Verily In This Is A Sign: But Most Of Them Do Not Believe.
(26:67)
Verily In This Is A Sign: But Most Of Them Do Not Believe.
(26:121)
Verily In This Is A Sign: But Most Of Them Do Not Believe.
(26:139)
Not A Sign Comes To Them
From Among The Signs Of Their Lord,
But They Turn Away Therefrom.
(36: 46)
We Showed Them Sign After Sign,
Each Greater Than Its Fellow,
And We Seized Them With Punishment,
In Order That They Might Turn (To Us)!
(43: 48)
Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or certain of the signs of thy Lord! The day that certain of the signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith. Say: "Wait you: we too are waiting." (6:158)
(Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them: They rejected the Signs of Allah, and Allah punished them for their crimes: for Allah is Strong, and Strict in punishment:
(8:52)
Nor Be Of Those Who Reject The Signs Of Allah,
Or You Shall Be Of Those Who Perish.
(10:95)
And We refrain from sending the signs, only because the men of former generations treated them as false: We sent the she-camel to the Thamud to open their eyes, but they treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs by way of terror (and warning from evil). (17: 59)
He Doth Regulate All Affairs,
Explaining The Signs In Detail,
That Ye May Believe With Certainty
In The Meeting With Your Lord.
(13:2)
Behold, Verily In These Things
There Are Signs For Those Who Consider!
(13:3)
Behold, Verily In These Things
There Are Signs For Those Who Understand!
(13:4)
Verily In This There Are Signs
For Such As Are Firmly Patient And Constant
Grateful And Appreciative.
(14: 5)
Behold! In This Are Signs
For Those Who By Tokens Do Understand.
(15: 75)
Verily In This Are Signs For Men Who Are Wise
(16:12)
Verily In This Are Signs For Those Who Believe.
(16: 79)
Those Who Believe Not
In The Signs Of Allah,
Allah Will Not Guide Them,
And Theirs Will Be A Grievous Penalty.
(16:104)
Conclusion
May Allah [Swt] Allow Us To Develop The Sincerity
And Honesty That Will Allow Us To Take The Message Of Islam Seriously
And Realize The Extent Of Responsibility On Our Shoulders!
May Allah [Swt] Grant Us Strength And Courage
To Remove The Shackles Of Oppression From Our Lives
And Stand Up For Everything That Is Righteous!
May Allah [Swt] Allow Us
To Leave A Legacy Of Goodness And Courage In This Earth
And Not Let Us Die Until We Have Pleased Him!
May We Become Those Blessed Slaves Of Allah
Who Do Not Oppress Anyone Nor Let Anyone Oppress Us
Till We Lose Ourselves!
Ameen!!!
