How we
lose, how we win? What is the real power, weapon and the plan? What are our
shields?
We have
started our halaqah reciting Al-Fatiha and following that Ar-Rum. This has been
the most active class of COE history for me and the touching one, deep in my
heart. The topic was opened itself as if we know it beginning from our
chatting: `The position of Muslimin in the 21st century era`. I
don’t remember where it began but we were talking about Chinese government and
their policy on East Turkistan, as we had one Uyghur friend with us. Moreover
Ar-Rum was related to what we talked. I want to write down the first ayahs of
the surah (unfortunately couldn't insert Arabic verses)
بسم الله
الرحمن الرحيم
Alif,
Lam, Meem[30:1]
The
Byzantines have been defeated[30:2]
In the
nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.[30:3]
Within
three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after.
And that
day the believers will rejoice[30:4]
In the
victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in
Might, the Merciful.[30:5]
The one
who possess the knowledge and thus technology as we can refer to in our time,
is more feared. We see the examples from developed countries, how much they are
feared by the others as if the developed countries can do anything to others;
they can come and invade if they will. On the other hand, people think they
need them, or basically they need their technology. People (Muslims) stopped
thinking. We see in everyday life more and more disgusting things such as gay
marriage, killing own parents and so on. Who makes all these things as a normal
standard to us? Who could think about one of these issues in 50 years ago time.
Now we see that the things seem very normal and usual for us. Human haven’t
been changed but the minds are being changed day by day. To me, the most
effective tool is the internet that we actually go crazy about. We are lulled
and having a very pleasant sleep. We are not aware why we are sent to the
Earth. We feel the fear to wrong matter. Allah is the mightiest and so we ought
to feel the fear for. He is our creator and so the universe and all surrounding
as in the 30:11:
Allah
begins creation; then He will repeat it; then to Him you will be returned.
SadaqAllahulAzim
When is the victory? How long have we as
Muslims been in this situation, listening their lulls, acting nothing, reaching
nowhere. Saying is cheap, will we start doing what our real reference (Quran)
tells us?
I hope this week we will talk more about the
solution to become esteemed Ummah which requires many hard working efforts.
