Bismihi Ta`ala
*Rampant pitiless crimes.*
Innalillahi Wa inna ilaihi Raji-oun. Indeed we belong to Allah Ta`ala and indeed, to Him we shall return.
Indeed sad to hear muslims being martyred throughout the world. Targeted because of their faith or because of their social weakness. Others for their declarations made. Even ulamas are being assassinated and pious people not spared from the pitiless criminals. May Allah Ta`ala have mercy upon us. Ameen. Because we have entered the era predicted that the prophet Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam. The era of pitiless crime has started.
حدثنا أبي حدثنا الأعمش حدثنا شقيق قالجلس عبد الله وأبو موسى فتحدثا فقال أبو موسى قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إن بين يدي الساعة أياما يرفع فيها العلم وينزل فيها الجهل ويكثر فيها الهرج والهرج القتل بخاري
The beloved prophet Muhammad Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said: ‘‘Before the judgement day there are days coming when deen education would disappear, ignorance will prevail, and haraj-killings-will be rampant.’’(Bukhari)
People will kill people without any hesitation. Life will be as vulnerable as compared to a defenceless baby lamb roaming alone in a fenceless village where it is an easy prey for the wolf. In nature, an easy prey for a predator is a lonely defenceless baby animal. So muslims will become so vulnerable as a lonely defenceless sheep.
يا ابن مسعود إن من أعلام الساعة وأشراطها أن يكون المؤمن في القبيلة أذل من النقدالطبراني‘’
O Ibn Mas`ood! Certainly amongst the signs of the day of judgement is that the status of a Mu-min will become worst than a baby lamb in the tribe.’’(Tabrani) The collective weakness of the ummah is due to our spiritual declination. No concern for accomplishing good actions and busy only in amassing wealth:
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
*Hadith of Abu Dawood where Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said that soon the nations will get together to call each other against you(muslims). Just like calling of each other for a bowl of soup. Sahabahs enquired whether it will be under the cause of means or minority. The beloved prophet Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam replied no. You would be many. But the cause of this downfall of the Ummah will be the variable inner force in the heart: The lust for dunya and no willingness to meet Allah dying.*
Our daily life is filled with dunya ambitions and work. And there is little or no ambition or time investment towards Akhirah.
*Time to change.*
May Allah Ta`ala has mercy upon the families and children of victims around the world. Ameen.
