*YOUR ACTIONS WEIGHT FOR THE UMMAH PLEASE.*
*The fear of the non muslims today is the mass conversion into Islamic faith. Because Islam in the modern world, stand not only as a truthful intellectual faith but also answers to the ambitions of progress of the scientific age. While other religions battle hopelessly to grip their hold, Islam is the winner of the intellectual religious war in the new era. There are individual conversions everywhere in the world. Famous personalities have also converted. So there is a fear of mass conversion and hence the local government use suppression opportunities against muslims. Mass killing and seizure of muslim`s land and wealth, exiling muslims, rape, veil bans, wish to bring adjustment to Islamic texts and law, fortifying frontiers against muslim immigrants, etc are amongst are examples of suppression of the modern world. Muslims should realize that they are the chosen ones and that these suppressions will not be wasted out. These suppressions will be used as weight to uplift the values and the realms of Islam throughout the world.*
عن خباب بن الأرت قال
شكونا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو متوسد بردة له في ظل الكعبة قلنا له ألا تستنصر لنا ألا تدعو الله لنا قال كان الرجل فيمن قبلكم يحفر له في الأرض فيجعل فيه فيجاء بالمنشار فيوضع على رأسه فيشق باثنتين وما يصده ذلك عن دينه ويمشط بأمشاط الحديد ما دون لحمه من عظم أو عصب وما يصده ذلك عن دينه والله ليتمن هذا الأمر حتى يسير الراكب من صنعاء إلى حضرموت لا يخاف إلا الله أو الذئب على غنمه ولكنكم تستعجلون
بخاري
*In this hadith of Bukhari, the beloved prophet SAW was in Makkah and the muslims were enduring continuous suppressions under non muslim government. So muslims came to the prophet SAW that He should ask duas for their relief and hence their supremacy. But the beloved prophet SAW told them that they are asking too quick. And that they should be patient until Islam reaches its pinnacle whereby people and women will travel in an absolute international peaceful environment. When Islam has installed itself within the hearts of people, then expect no harm from them. Because they are no more greedy for this temporary life. But rather there is constant preparation of the next life whereby every single atom of action will be weighted.*
*Sacrifice and actions are the means to contribute to the weight of the Ummah. Weight is the main present outsource of the ummah. That is why protections duas and duas against enemies are not readily effective at present. Because the ummah lacks weight in sacrifice for deen and good actions. That is why the beloved prophet Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam described us as the foam, although muslims are many around the globe:*
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوشِكُ الْأُمَمُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الْأَكَلَةُ إِلَى قَصْعَتِهَا فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ وَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ غُثَاءٌ كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ وَلَيَنْزَعَنَّ اللَّهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ عَدُوِّكُمْ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَيَقْذِفَنَّ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ الْوَهْنَ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْوَهْنُ قَالَ حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ
ابو داود
Sahih Hadith of Abu Dawood:
*The sahabahs hearing our present international scenario of non muslim nations inviting each other to finish up muslim population one after the other, they asked the prophet: will it because that muslims will be little in number? The beloved prophet SAW answered that ‘No, but you would be numerous in number’. And the real reason for our decline is that we would like light and no weigh like the ‘carried away foam and small wood that float up on the rain water and that gets carries away’. Ghusa-oun are the foam and wood etc that used to be on the ground and when the rain comes, the water carries them away. These foam and wood pieces can be seen on the surface of the water. Their light weigh leaves them no choice but to be carried away by the torrent. It is not correct to take reference of this hadith that the ummah is dirt and impure. This is not the intent of the prophet Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam.*
*The ummah needs weight so that not to be carried away by the torrent. And this weight comes from every individual of the ummah, man or woman. Complete conviction of Allah Ta`ala, Salaahs, tahajjud, sacrifice for deen, take out time from work and family to give to the masjid and deen, sadaqahs, good character, helping each other, etc will contribute to these weights. Abandon adultery, interest, greed for wealth and eating inheritance of others.
When Ibrahim a.s. accomplished great sacrifice, hold an unmovable conviction on God, he achieved the weight of a whole ummah. Allah Ta`ala says: ‘Surely, Ibrahim was an ummah(a whole community in himself), devoted to Allah, a man of pure faith. And he was not amongst those who associate with Allah. ’’(16:120)*
إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِين
*One man can reach the weigh of the whole world! That was achieved by Ibrahim a.s. That is why his duas are accepted until today. Salaahs alive in Makkah, Fruits and comfort in Makkah, the birth of this ummah, etc.*
*Sencondly there are riwayats that the actions and character of a person brings weight to himself. Hence there is a sahih hadith of Nassai and Ahmad whereby a dream was seen by a sahabah whereby Rasouloullah SAW was weighed with Abu Bakr on a scale in the sky. Rasouloullah was weightier. Then Abu Bakr was weightier than Umar. And Umar was weightier than Usman r.a.*
ثنا محمد بن عبد الله قال ثنا أشعث عن الحسن عن أبي بكرة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ذات يوممن رأى منكم رؤيا فقال رجل أنا رأيت ميزانا نزل من السماء فوزنت أنت وأبو بكر فرجحت أنت بأبي بكر ثم وزن عمر وأبو بكر فرجح أبو بكر ثم وزن عمر وعثمان فرجح عمر ثم رفع الميزان فرأيت الكراهية في وجه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

*So the final achievement of a muslim is to become the weightiest in the ummah by following the sunnah and sacrificing for deen of Allah. When every single individual of the ummah realise this and start to contribute their weights of good actions, salaahs and sacrifice, then a single dua in one night will suffice to bring the Bright age of Islam again in the world and shadow upon the disbelievers a ‘Dark age’. Reported that Hazrat Muhammad Ibn Abdillah Al Mahdi will restore Islam and good conditions of muslims in ONE NIGHT! Waiting for that night, we need your weight contributions to strengthen the acceptance of our duas. Your laziness towards salaahs and going in the path of Allah will leave the ummah your share of vacuum instead of your weight share. The more vacuum the more we will float over the rain water. And our duas will be weigh-less and take long to be answered.*
*The ummah is waiting for all your actions weight and make duas that the ummah becomes more pious and weightier. And know that our final fate will be on a scale weight of our actions on the day of judgement. May our good actions be weightier than bad ones. Ameen.*
Jazaakumallahou Khairan for contributing weights to benefit the ummah.
