Fasting : Our body is used to the routine schedule of food intake most of the months in the year, whereas in Rumdaan that routine is disturbed due to fasting. Understandably it takes time for the body to accept the new regime of fasting. For most people the first three or four days of fasting seem quite unpleasant due to the change. That upleasantness disappears as soon as the body starts getting used to the new routine of fasting. As usual just like everything else, fasting becomes the rule for the body. Fasting in Rumdaan and sparsely in other months is a very good exercise for the digestive system apart from being beneficial for just too many physical, emotional and spiritual matters.
On that terrible day.
On that day, every soul, whether believes or does not believe, shall be hauled before the Lord, shaking with utter fear, drenched in sweat and in deep thought. That eventful day will simply NOT go away. Not for anyone. Most of us humankind are NOT seen to be believing in that eventful day ever coming our way. How can one know? The deeds of the people, tell all. On that day every soul shall be searching for whatever good deeds they did in their past life. For all of us, that life is today. The opportunity to do that good work, is today and now. Our good work today shall deliver, our redemption on that day. Lord willing .
“No soul shall carry the burden of the any other soul on that day ” is the Command of the Lord. In other words no Ameer, Imam, Khaleefah, leader or Ruler will be answerable for the deeds or misdeeds of anyone else but themselves. The burden to come out to join hands with others to create the Authority of Lord Almighty collectively, in this world is that of each and every one of the Believer.
We all need to ponder today, as to what will be our response to this possible question on that day. The question being : “When you numbered in millions, what made you fail to come together to create an Islamic State which just the few hundred of those before you, had no trouble in creating?” How many of us ever bother to care, that the responsibility to create and maintain Islamic State, is that of each and every one of us i.e. the Ummah. Very much the same way as it was that of those few hundred of early Muslims. It was those early Muslims who shouldered the responsibility to create and maintain an Islamic State and to propagate Islam due to their heart warming and heart winning exemplary behaviour and unity. Unity of the people, by the people for the people. People resolved to create the Authority of no one but that of the Lord. Lord Almighty.
Today it is us, millions in number, yet showing no desire to fulfil our obligation to shoulder our responsibility to create the Authority of no one but the Lord. Lord Almighty, by following into the footsteps of those early Muslims. Those early Muslims who earned the Promised glories due to their unquestionable loyalty to the Lord. We today are earning the promised ignominious life due to our disloyalty to the same Lord.
True to the “Kalimah” those early Muslims, rallied round no man but the Lord. We? We rally round those mortals whom we gladly make our earthly allahs causing us to be divided into numerous sects.
So why are we losers today? Losers here and in hereafter. Simply because of our audacity to defy the Commands of Allah (Wahtusaymoo....Jumeeyah). Commands of Allah for hordes and hordes of us to come together to rally round no one but Him to unite and through unity of action, create a system based upon “Justice and compassion”.
Come to unite where? Come unite, in the locality where we all live. Come to unite the way those early Muslims did. Then proceed with uniting all to become a nation united i.e. Ummah Wahidah.
The early Muslims achieved all their successes by organising a set up of the people, by the people, for the people. What kind of people? Responsible people.
No people will ever become winners if they did not work to follow into the footsteps of the those early Muslims. They were, indeed, winners here and winners in hereafter (Lord willing). To become winners, a nation will have to be following into the footsteps of the “Winners”. There simply, is no other way to become winners.
To please Lord Almighty(swt), very kindly propagate this Truth far and wide and everywhere. If you are Helaal observer, very kindly let me have the result of Helaal search promptly. JazahkAllah khairun wa shukrun.
Your most sincere, truthful and humble well wisher. S.H.Wasty. swasty@talktalk.net
