It was just about 14 teen centuries and 34 years ago, when the entire world was engulfed in ignorance and in the darkness of superstition, tribalism, savagery and uncivilized inhumanity bahavior. Than the light(the Nur) of divine revelation, true knowledge and guidance rose from the horizon around Mecca. These powerful Rays of Nur, of Light spread To the East, West, North and South; they reached every corner of the Earth and within a short period of 23 years, And the way was paved through that light for mankind, for humanity to move to such heights of faith, dignity, honour, and strength as had never been obtained before.
It was enlightenment for all of humanity, for all who would accept it!
It enlightened the Hearts of the people and they became Muslim! the sahabah of Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam),the followers of the Nur, the Light of the Quran. And it also created in them the urge for taking the right counsel, Good and right advice, which would ultimately bring them their salvation. By following the right path of guidance emanating from that Light, the Muslims moved from success to success, the muslims were successful because of their fear and Love for ALLAH and their Love for the sunnah of Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and their willingness to sacrifice, through this attained the highest pinnacle of dignity and honour in the History of mankind.
And for centuries, Islam ruled on this earth with such Pretentious behaviour and strength, that the non-Muslim people of the four corners of the Earth, who heard about Islam, who heard about the Muslim was impressed.
This was the beginning of the golden age of islam! when hearts were inspired by the (light) the Nur of Islam. This also was the beginning of The golden age for Humanity! When He Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) walked on this Earth! ALLAH mission Him(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to be the Last Nabi and last Rasul, He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is rahmatul lil alamin(the mercy to all the Worlds)! And ALLAH made All of humanity His Ummah.
And when The Holy Quran was starting to be revealed to Him(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), He lived in a time when the Hearts of Men melted when they heard the words of ALLAH. This is the real beginning of the Golden Age! When the most Excellent examples for mankind was before the faces of Men and they could see him with their own Eyes, and there was no doubt about His Character! We cannot return to those days, but we can live this Din as ALLAH has instructed us to and He(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) exemplify! In those golden days No contemporary power had the courage to challenge Islam and if some force dared to like the Romans at the Battle of Tabuk, At this battle, Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) traveled a months journey to fight the Romans, When they heard of Rasulullah(sallallahu alaihi wa salam) was preparing to approach and to engage them in battle, they became fearful and turn on their heels and began to fled. So Rasulullah(sallallahu alaihi wa salam) said:I have been given five(things)which no one else before me has been given. I have been aided with fear-a distance of one month's traveling.....This is the Historical Truth, which cannot be erased.
ALLAH the Most High- States: Soon We shall cast terror into the Hearts of the disbelievers, for that they made Shirk, for which He had sent no authority." Indeed, Fear is a weapon which ALLAH implants in the hearts of His enemies. This is why the strength of the Muslims Ummah, is not in our great numbers-we have great numbers, and Yet we are still weak, our strength is not in wealth and weapons, But it is in our (faith) our Iman In ALLAH, our Love and devotion to Him ,it is in our (faith) in the words of ALLAH(The Quran), It is in our(faith) in the Sunnah of Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) And It is in our aqeedah (belief) and our adhering to it. We the Muslims today approximate over one billion and we are growing in number every day. And when we look at the history, even up to the end of the thirteenth century Hijri, It will reveal that we the Muslims were the sole possessors of honour, dignity. when muslims travel to asia(Indonesia)they went as Merchants(business people)Good, honest and upright characters. It was their honesty, their integrity and their Good character that win the Hearts of the whole people and in a very short time the whole people became Muslim. these were our golden days of Honour and dignity.
When we read the history of Muslim contribution to world civilization, it seems very recent that we the Muslims people were on top of the world. We were pioneers and leaders in all areas of human endeavor. During that period, Muslim rulers established the largest Islamic empires in history. We the Muslims people invented new branches of science and mathematics, We not only laid the foundation of modern knowledge, But we contributed to agriculture, the arts, economics, industry, law, literature, navigation, philosophy, sciences, sociology, and technology, both by preserving earlier traditions and by adding inventions and innovations of our own. Also at that time the Muslim world became a major intellectual center for science, philosophy, medicine and education, which produces such Brilliant Scholars, engineers, philosophers, geographers, merchants, poets and artists, which propelled it to new heights. In particular, our contribution to the world of medicine is legendary. The Islamic empire was the first "truly universal civilization," which brought together for the first time in the History of mankind "peoples as diverse as the Chinese, the Indians, the people of the Middle East and North Africa, black Africans, and white Europeans working in harmony to contribute to the betterment of mankind." But when we turns our eyes away from the pages of the history and looks at the Muslims of today, what a sad and pitiful state of affairs, One sees the general picture today of the Muslims people, the Ummah, it is hard to find something positive on the horizon, There is political chaos and regional turmoil all over the Muslim world. We the Muslims have lost control of our affairs. Many of the so call Muslim governments are persecuting their people and out right killing the Muslims people, we have sunk in to extreme suffering and disgrace, Can Muslims hope for a better future under these circumstances? Now our Ummah possess no real dignity,no real strength,no real power or honour, brotherhood or mutual love or respect for each other,and reflects no virtue or moral character that is worth the name Muslim.
One cannot find any sign in us of those Noble Qualities or deeds which at one time used to be the Hallmark of Integrity for each and everyone of us Muslim people who believed in ALLAH and the last day. now-a-days there can hardly be a living person who can be said to have khushoo or the sincerity of conscience or the purity of heart. On the contrary we the Muslims Ummah,we are steep in corruption, vice and sin.
we have wandered so far away from the commandments of ALLAH and the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and Islam in it purity, from the path of virtue and righteousness, that if the early muslims could see the socalled muslims of today, they would not be able to recognize us.
Because of a Lack of real knowledge, education and application of the din of ALLAH, this lack of knowledge and education has resulted in disobedience, and now we are lost in the darkness of ignorance and superstition. Everywhere we look there is darkness, superstition and ignorance, In the Muslim world and outside of the Muslim world. So what happened? How did Muslims people lose this crowning position of dignity and honour in the world? And how did we lose leadership in science, mathematics and medicine?
What is lacking from the Muslim Ummah discourse is an honest and intelligent diagnosis of problems facing the Muslim ummah. We are living in a time where The Glorious Qur'an and the Sunnah are being abandoned, because the modern people think that they are insufficient; now human opinios, analogy, discretion, and the words of scholars are sought, above the words of ALLAH and ignoring the sunnah of Rasulullah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). So the people's natures are corrupted and the Muslim people hearts have become dark, their understandings has become confused, and their minds have become distorted. All of this is due to a lack of knowledge and disobedience. All of the previously mentioned matters have had a great impact on the lives of Muslim Ummah to the extent that the young and the old lived under these circumstances,(A world culture of corruption) and thinking them to be permissible. These Alternative conditions prevailed, in which innovated matters replaced Prophetic traditions, inclination replaced wisdom, vain desires replaced reason, going astray replaced guidance, the wrong replaced the Right, the bad replaced the Good, ignorance replaced knowledge, hypocrisy replaced devotion, the unlawful replaced the lawful, lying substituted truthfullness, flattery substituted advice, and injustice replaced justice, thus these evils reigned supreme in the Muslim Ummah.
Unfortunately, the matter does not end there. The Muslim youth of this new generation, which has been affected and influenced by the so-called modern trends or the Western way of life, take pleasure in laughing at the very ideals of Islam and openly criticize the sacred code of "Shariat" as being out of date and impracticable. That is due to their ignorance and stupidity in a world culture of corruption! One wonders at such behaviour and finds that we the Muslim people, who once gave strength, happiness, honour and brougth peace to the entire mankind, have now become completely demoralised, Unconcerned, shallow and helpless. We the Muslims Ummah who had once taught the world the Golden lessons of etiquette and culture are today found wanting and needing these very adornments.
It is proven that the Islamic Law ”Sharia” is the Divine Code, which lays down a complete way of life outlining every possible measure for advancing and progressing on the path of true success and righteousness. It very clearly describes the proper course of action and indicates methods to check and re-orientate in the event of losing direction or going astray. In other words, “Sharia assures its followers our spiritual and material well-being and advancement for our whole life in all situations, right up to the last day of life on this earth.
Obviously, it would be futile to look for the cause and the cure for the prevailing sickness of the Ummah outside the dictates of "the Sharia" and "the Sunnah". As a necessity, we must look closely into the "Quran-i-Hakim" and "the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam)" which are the fountains sources of "Sharia" and of all knowledge and guidance for the whole of mankind. In fact, they are the only sources of wisdom for man. we ought to seek the help of the Quran and Sunnah in finding out what our troubles are and how they can be removed.
The ‘instruction manual’ that ALLAH sent for us, for mankind is known as the Qur'an. But the human being is not a machine; rather he is more complicated than the most advanced computer that humans have ever produce. So ALLAH did not only send the Qur’an—He(ALLAH) also sent an instructor known as Muhammad Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam). The Prophet(the Nabi) of Islam who brought the Qur’an to us, to all humanity and also provided a practical examples in how to conduct our lives. The Qur'an itself clearly explained this relationship between (the Prophet)the Nabi(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and itself in the following verses: He(ALLAH) raised up among the common people a Messenger from among themselves to recite to them His revelations, to purify them, and to teach them the Book and the wisdom. (62:2).
And We have revealed to you (O Muhammad) the Reminder (that is, the Qur'an) so you may clarify to the people what has been revealed to them, and so that they may reflect. (16:44). (He) Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) was a teacher and a commentator of the Qur'an. Even his every action was and is a source of guidance for Muslims: You have a good example in Allah's Messenger for whosoever hopes for God and the last day, and remembers God oft. (33:21). The obedience to the Prophet( the Nabi) has been considered as the proof of loving Allah: Say (O Muhammad), `If you love Allah, then follow me; (if you do so) Allah will love you and forgive for you your sins.' (3:31) To show the importance of obeying the Prophet(theNabi), Allah further says: Whoever obeys the Prophet has surely obeyed Allah. (4:80).
ALLAH the Creator of Universe has promised that the true Muslims(momineen)would be His vicegerents on Earth. And His promised is the Truth. This is clear from the following verse: ALLAH has promised to those from amongst you who believe and do righteous deeds that He would surely make them His vicegerent on earth". He has also given the assurances that the true believers will always dominate over non-believers and that non-believers will be left without any friend or ally: as is clear from the following verse: clear from the following verse: And if these non-believers had given you a battle, they were sure to turn on their heels, and they would have found no protector and no helper." Moreover, it is ALLAH Ta'ala own obligation to grant every help to the true Muslims and it is also His promise that such people will always remain exalted and dignified. This is borne out(carry out) by the following verses: And it is our bounden duty to render succour to the true believers." And do not give way to despair, and do not grieve, and you only shall dominate, if you are true Believers." And honour is only for ALLAH, His Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) and those who believe."
The above Divine assertions clearly indicate that the way to regain the Honour, the dignity, the virtues, the righteousness, the moral character of the Ummah lies only in our being strictly faithful and remain devoted to the Din. If our relationship with ALLAH Ta’ala and the Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alayhi wa salam) is strong and firm, then we are destined to inherit each and every things on this Earth. And ALLAH Ta’ala said in the following verse: By (the Token of) Time (through the ages), Verily Man is in loss, Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy. This s?rah is unequivocal in indicating the path leading humanity away from loss: “except for those who have faith and do righteous deeds and counsel one another to follow the truth and counsel one another to be patient in adversity.” (Verse 3) There is only one right path — that of faith, good deeds and the existence of a Muslim community whose members counsel one another to follow the truth and to show endurance and perseverance. Consequently, whenever two Companions of ALLAH’s Messenger were about to depart from each other, they would read this s?rah, after which they would shake hands. This was indicative of a pledge to accept this doctrine fully, to preserve this faith, piety and a willingness to counsel each other to follow the truth and to persevere in the face of adversity. It was a mutual compact to remain good elements in an Islamic society established according to that doctrine and to preserve the foundation of this society.
As already brought out, history proves that the early Muslims had been able to reach the highest summit of Honour and excellence in character , whereas the present day Muslims seem to have moved in the opposite direction. It is obvious from the above verses of the Quran that the first Muslims had attained that high position in life because of their character. Today's disobedience and ignorance has resulted in weakness in our faith and poor demoralize characters, which is the opposite of what our forefathers possessed, therefore, it would be right to say that today many people are Muslims in name only! --------------------------------Your Brother k.ibrahim..-----("O Muslim people please make Dua for Me, That ALLAH increase My Faith(IMAN) and devotion,And grant me a Good Muslim wife,who has knowledge of Din!([email protected])
