*LET’S CURE THE CAUSES OF THIS PANDEMIC.**Reported in Ibn Majah that Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said. “Nothing may lengthen your life except good actions. Nothing can change fate except Du’as. And someone is deprived of his sustenance due to his committed sins.”*
حَدَّثَنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا وكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيانَ، عَنْ عبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أبِي الجَعْدِ، عَنْ ثَوْبانَ، قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لا يَزِيدُ فِي العُمْرِ إلّا البِرُّ، ولا يَرُدُّ القَدَرَ إلّا الدُّعاءُ، وإنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُحْرَمُ الرِّزْقَ بِخَطِيئَةٍ يَعْمَلُهاابن ماجة و احمد و غيرهما *In another riwayah of Bukhari, Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said: “One who wish to be wealthy and have a long life, then he should keep good family ties.”*
٢٠٦٧ – حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أبِي يَعْقُوبَ الكِرْمانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنا حَسّانُ، حَدَّثَنا يُونُسُ، قالَ مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: عَنْ أنَسِ بْنِ مالِكٍ رضي الله عنه، قالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: «مَن سَرَّهُ أنْ يُبْسَطَ لَهُ فِي رِزْقِهِ، أوْ يُنْسَأ لَهُ فِي أثَرِهِ، فَلْيَصِلْ رَحِمَهُبخاري*The difficulties of this pandemic has come upon the ummah because of our sins. So do tawbah and establish good family ties with your extended family.**Our rizq of healthy freedom of movement, travelling, going to work, etc have been limited because of rampant sins. We have taken the duty of tableegh for granted and have neglected salaah. Too much greed have swept everything from our horizons except amassing wealth. This has weakened us against perpetrators and their conspiracies of pirating our resources or of using bacteriological warfare.**Our beloved Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam warned us against these pirates. ‘’Soon the nations will invite each other against you(muslims). They will invite each other as inviting for a meal. It will not because of minority but lust for wealth will ground muslims from fighting.’’(Abu Dawood)*
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَقَالَ 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 الْمَوْتِابو داود *Too much greed for wealth cause sickness that immobilize us*:
وحَدَّثَنا يَحْيى بْنُ يَحْيى، أخْبَرَنا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ – وتَقارَبا فِي اللَّفْظِ – قالَ: حَدَّثَنا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أبِي سَعِيدٍ المَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عِياضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أنَّهُ سَمِعَ أبا سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَطَبَ النّاسَ فَقالَ: «لا واللهِ، ما أخْشى عَلَيْكُمْ، أيُّها النّاسُ، إلّا ما يُخْرِجُ اللهُ لَكُمْ مِن زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيا» فَقالَ رَجُلٌ: يا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أيَأْتِي الخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَصَمَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ساعَةً، ثُمَّ قالَ: «كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟» قالَ: قُلْتُ: يا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أيَأْتِي الخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَقالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «إنَّ الخَيْرَ لا يَأْتِي إلّا بِخَيْرٍ، أوَ خَيْرٌ هُوَ، إنَّ كُلَّ ما يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أوْ يُلِمُّ، إلّا آكِلَةَ الخَضِرِ، أكَلَتْ، حَتّى إذا امْتَلَأتْ خاصِرَتاها اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الشَّمْسَ، ثَلَطَتْ أوْ بالَتْ، ثُمَّ اجْتَرَّتْ، فَعادَتْ فَأكَلَتْ فَمَن يَأْخُذْ مالًا بِحَقِّهِ يُبارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ، ومَن يَأْخُذْ مالًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ فَمَثَلُهُ، كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ ولا يَشْبَعُمسلم *Reported in Muslim shareef that Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam upon a question of a sahabah that how wealth which is a khair can harm us? Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam explained that alike the cows in the pasture greedily graze the fresh grass of autumn, then they develop sickness of overconsumption and indigestion. So Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said that these cows need to immobilize in the sun with constant diarrhea…**Same for people who night and day greed for amassing wealth.**There we are. Immobilized in our homes due to extra greed for wealth. When it comes in millions, then no halaal logo needed. We use law of the land to steal the rights of shar’ee inheritors. Interest is considered a necessity of life…Indeed, we have been brought on a battle field to be mashed and trodden by God, Himself.**We have witnessed a non human treatment of refugees around the globe. God will answer pitilessness with same pitilessness:*
حَدَّثَنا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنا أبِي، حَدَّثَنا الأعْمَشُ، قالَ: حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وهْبٍ، قالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قالَ: «مَن لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ»بخاري
*Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said:”One who shows no pity(on humans), then (God) will have no pity for him.”*Bukhari* *Leave sins, leave interest, leave haraam earnings/inheritance, don’t abuse upon legitimate rights, welcome refugees and don’t make sacred Harams as a means of earnings.**Make umrah and hajj possible for simple african and asian families as it was before.**The sacredness of the Arabian peninsula is sufficient to prevent your economy from falling.**Is it not a sin to distort the legacy of Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam by opening nude tourism to the sacred land?*Rasouloullah Swalallahou said: ‘’Satan has lost hope to entice his divinity to those muslims of the Arabian peninsula who pray regularly. But he will entice discord between them.’’(Sahih Muslim)*
عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ*سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ أَيِسَ أَنْ يَعْبُدَهُ الْمُصَلُّونَ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَلَكِنْ فِي التَّحْرِيشِ بَيْنَهُمْمسلم
*The purity of the Arabian peninsula is particularly mentioned in this hadith to show us the geographic pinnacle of Islam that will prevail in that part of the world. A legacy and an inheritance that we need to protect and promote. Not to be soiled or spoiled by our wrong doings.**Because ONE OF THE LAST WORDS OF RASOULOULLAH SWALALLAHOU Alaihi Wasallam was :*
سعيد بن جبير سمع ابن عباس رضي الله* عنهما يقوليوم الخميس وما يوم الخميس ثم بكى حتى بل دمعه الحصى قلت يا أبا عباس ما يوم الخميس قال اشتد برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وجعه فقال ائتوني بكتف أكتب لكم كتابا لا تضلوا بعده أبدا فتنازعوا ولا ينبغي عند نبي تنازع فقالوا ما له أهجر استفهموه فقال ذروني فالذي أنا فيه خير مما تدعونني إليه فأمرهم بثلاث قال أخرجوا المشركين من جزيرة العرب وأجيزوا الوفد بنحو ما كنت أجيزهمبخاري*
*REPORTED IN BUKHARI THAT ONE OF THE FEW LAST WORDS OF THE PROPHET SWALALLAHOU `ALAIHI WASALLAM TO THE UMMAH BEFORE LEAVING THIS WORLD WAS THAT WE SHOULD PURIFY THE SACRED LAND OF ARABIAN PENINSULA FROM NON MUSLIMS.(BUKHARI)**This Apply to all these countries: Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.**Should we not correct our sins, then expect waves of difficulties ahead of us.*
