IS THERE STILL HOPE FROM HUMANITY?

"And never give up hope of Allah's truly soothing mercy, no-one despairs of Allah's soothing mercy except those who have no faith." [Surah Yusuf: 87]

Reading, watching or listening to any kind of news makes me nauseous, brokenhearted, disappointed, angry and extremely sad! What is happening to this world? What happened to every single human being? Where is our morality and our respect for another fellow human being? Where is the dignity and respect for our own soul? Haven't we already sinned enough that we keep on increasing immensely? 

The Conditions in Gaza, Syria and Egypt are beyond imagination. Men, women and children are dying every day and most of them are fearing for their lives. The turmoil occurred in Egypt was by the oppression from their own country. Then what is left for the security of the citizens of Egypt? No security, no rights, no privilege. Only some kinds of agenda to ruin the Muslims for the benefit of their own income and luxury. The neighboring Muslim countries ought to help ALWAYS but little is the help that is received to any one of the victims of the murdered families.  It only reminds me of how the Ansars of Madinah stood up with courage to help the Muhajireen of Makkah only on the basis of Muslim brotherhood and unity. But this makes me feel ashamed of myself and life in general. Has Saudi Arabia done sufficient to decrease the sufferings of the Muslim brothers and sisters in Egypt, Syria and Palestine? Man, even this country is corrupted.  Many people are still striving to get their rights reserved. And I have nothing more to say in defense of any country or anybody but as humans we all know what is right and wrong despite the religion differences. For one second I wanna speak to my Muslim brothers and sisters in general. Do you think affliction is just simply occurring upon our lives because we are innocent? No we aren't. Are we all praying five times a day on time without laziness? Are we all Reading the Qur'an with understanding and acting upon it? Are we engaged in Halal lifestyle with no alcohol, no haram business, no usury, no illegal relationships, returning of amaanats, Hijab of men and women, no music or movies? Are we obeying our parents and elders and maintaining our blood relationships? Are we truthful at all times? Are we all Just to every human being around us despite our differences and enmity? Have we held firm the rope of Allah and have had full trust in Him? If the answer is No, then we all have nothing more to say just to be ashamed of ourselves. If the answer is Yes, then there is still hope for the world to be in peace.

As Muslims and most of all humans, we need to restore our humanity and CHANGE. Stop living for the world. Fear Allah and live for the Day of Judgement. Do jihad against ourselves.  

This is a total disaster and the more we speak or shout who do you think is listening except Allah? No leader or authority cares for you then why do you turn to them? The month of Ramadan is over but it reminds me that most of us weren't in masjids during the Qiyam ul Layl. Who do you think is to be blamed but yourselves? We all are in loss with time that we didn't take advantage of and the blessings we cared less for. We all know very well who were the true worshipers in Ramadan and even outside of Ramadan. The least we could do is Repent sincerely so Allah subhanawaTa'la has mercy on us. Then why don't we call upon Allah even when we had no Affliction or calamity? Isn't Allah subhanaAllah All Seeing, All Aware, All Listening? Don't you know that He is All Aware of your petty little tricks of pleasing yourself by calling Him suddenly out of nowhere at the difficult times and then fleeing from Him when things seem good for you? 

My heart only sinks in deep sorrow and grief for the loss of innocent lives of children, men and women all over the world because of the propaganda against the Muslims by the mind control of the Zionists and most importantly, our own nafs and mistakes.

"Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself." 4:79

The Prophet (sallallahu aleihi wa sallam) said: "Allah does not punish the individuals for the sins of the community until they see the evil spreading among themselves, and while they have the power to stop it, do not do so." (Ahmad). Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "This is why those who are in authority are of two groups: the scholars and the rulers. If they are upright, the people will be upright; if they are corrupt, the people will be corrupt."

But there is still hope for us in the aakhirah and as well in this dunya because one day we will be brought to justice.

Narrated Abu Huraira radiaAllah anhu: The Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "The Israelis used to be ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died, another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who will increase in number." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What do you order us (to do)?" He said, "Obey the one who will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfill their (i.e. the Caliphs) rights, for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah has put under their guardianship." [Al-Bukhari 4.661]
Allah's Messenger SAW said, "If any ruler having the authority to rule Muslim subjects dies while he is deceiving them, Allah will forbid Paradise for him." [Sahih Al-Bukhari 9:265]

Narrated Ma'qil: I heard the Prophet sallalahu alaihi wasallam saying, "Any man whom Allah has given the authority of ruling some people and he does not look after them in an honest manner, will never feel even the smell of Paradise." [Sahih Muslim - Volume 9, Book 89, Number 264]

Our only weapon is duwa and supplications, so let us all humble ourselves and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaitaan and seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaWa ta'aAla and pray for the oppressed in Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.
