DO YOU CAST YOURSELF TO PERDITION WITH YOUR OWN HANDS?

We always believe that there is no one more intelligent then us. We believe that we know every thing and have the knowledge of every thing. But what happened when we decide something and after some time we feel that we indulge in some perdition due to our own decision. But we do not want to desist, we never want to admit our fault and never say our self that we are wrong. I am also doing the same thing, I never admit my faults and always insisted that i am always right. Whenever I make any plane I always think that it is perfect but after some time when I receive the feedback or after shocks then still my heart do not want to desist on my own fault.

Actually we destroy our self with our own hands, we destroy our whole life and the life hereafter with our own hands. Allah clearly mentioned that we adopt the perdition with our own hands and no one is responsible for our trouble. We must know that Allah likes only those who are doing good and surely who believe in good deeds.

Kindly read the following verse of the Holy Quran as mentioned below:

"And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves to perdition with your own hands, and do good (to others); surely Allah loves the doers of good."

(Surah No:2 & Verse No: 195)

Allah like those people who spend in the way of Allah, but what is the way of Allah. To spend on the poor, widows, orphans, and on our poor relative. We must understand that we must spend from the Hilal income and it does not means that we spend from the earning by means of hook and crook and spend on the way of Allah. May Allah forgive us and send his blessing on us to spend the money on the poor and gave us the ability to help the poor and doing the good things. 

ALL SACRED THINGS ARE UNDER THE LAW OF RETALIATION

As a human most of us have faith in sacred things. Some believe in sacred idols, some believe in sacred days, some believe in sacred saints, apostles and lot of other things. Allah also declared some sacred things for the Muslims too like Sacred Mosque (Khana Kaaba), Sacred Months (Rajab, Ramzazn etc) and Sacred mountains ( Safa And Marwa). All these sacred things have their own history on which they become sacred. But one thing is clear that we all need to respect the sacred things which are declared from our Lord. But when the question of the retaliation arise then some time we become so made that we forgot the sacred places, sacred months too.

Why this thing happened? In my point of view we just respect them not accepted their honour from our heart, we always respect them as they are imposed on us but we never feel it from our heart. We only sacred our own self, if we feel pain then due to anger we become made, we want that in revenge we kill the whole family of the person who gave us pain. We start abusing and moan that the whole family died if we do not have power and if we have the power then we go and kill them. 

We used the law of retaliation for our own purposes and then use the law of Allah for the persecution rather then to fight against the persecution. Its true that if some one hurt us then we have the right to hurt him too according to the law of retaliation but how much we hurt him, answer is very clear we take the revenge of our wounds same as we get it. But we become aggressive in this matter and forgot the law of Allah. Kindly read the following verse of the Holy Quran as mentioned below:

"The Sacred month for the sacred month and all sacred things are (under the law of ) retaliation; whoever then acts aggressively against you, inflict injury on him according to the injury he has inflicted on you and be careful (of your duty) to Allah and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)."

(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 194)

The main thing is that we forgot that Allah is with us until we are careful in our revenge and when we exceeds the limits then Allah will not stand with us. No one in this world decide and judge but Allah knows it and we in our heart knows that we cross the limits of Allah or nor. Most of the people in revenge become so anger that they forgot the limits of Allah. Now a days if we look around our self then we will feel that we have lot of anger in our heart. If the light load shading happened in our city then we become so anger that we destroy the offices and kill the people of electric company with out thinking. We are just a mob who destroy every thing without knowing who is responsible and who is not. We just beat the people and destroy the belongings of the people.

FIGHT AGAINST THE PERSECUTION BUT WHY ?

"And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, the there should be no hostility except against the oppressors."

(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 193)

Why we fight against the persecution?. Why Allah order us to fight against the persecution?. The great logic behind this order is that Allah in the verse no 191 of Surah Baqra declared that the persecution is severer then the slaughter, so it is our duty to fight against the persecution. But now a days we are divided into the different sects and different ethnic groups. 

I want to quote one example of the Syria where two different sect of the same religion kill one another. Now a days the rebels belongs to the Sunni sect and the ruling party belongs to the shia group. Both claim that they are on the right path and during this thing they just killing each other without differentiating between the innocent people, woman, children and the animals. Ruling party bombing and destroying their own cities who are in the control of the Sunni rebels. But one thing is clear that all the shia community supported the bashar ul asad government without thinking about his crimes. They only think that Assad government belong to their sect so they have the right to kill the Sunni rebels. Both belongs to the same religion, both believe in one apostle, both believe in one Allah, both believe in one Holy Quran, both believe in the same Hazrat Ali (R.A) but they both declare each other non believers. 

A small group of people due to the persecution destroyed a strong Islamic countries, they not only destroy their own countries but also destroy the unity of the Muslim Ummah. Due to this thing we destroy our whole country and Allah declare in His Book this thing and order us to fight against the persecution and fight until the religion should be only for Allah. It means that we will fight all those forces who are creating hurdles to implement the law of Allah in the country,  Allah order us to fight all those dark forces who wish that Allah; law will not be force on the earth. We will fight all those sects and people who raise the rebellion against the  Allah and want to change the religion of Allah.

We all need to think that why our differences become so wider that we call the other sect Kaffir or non believer. Why we will not sit together to solve our problems. If we will sit with Israel on peace talks then why we will all not sit together. If Pakistani government start the peace talks with his enemy Hindu Indian government then why not he start the talks with their own Muslim brother Taliban to stop the persecution in the country. 

ALLAH WILL FORGIVE YOU IF YOU DESIST

We always pray from the God that He will forgive our sins, surely Allah is most forgiving and merciful but the question is we ever desist from our deeds. Answer is very simple and that is No. We never desist from our deeds, we can not want to change our self, we want that we will not desist and Allah forgive us every time. We do not feel to change our own self. We do not need to rethink on our own deeds, we do not wish to modify our selves. We do not need to evaluate the doings of our life. We insisted that whatever we have done is correct. We want that Allah will not send any wrath and curse on our deeds and the only duty as a Lord was to forgive our sins.

Allah forgive me we make the Allah for only forgiving and we forgot the other faces of Allah. It is correct that we all need the blessing and forgiveness from our Allah and we always request for His blessing; But it does not mean that we forgot that Allah is the best judge and He take the revenge too. We must need to think about our lives, we do not want to left our bad habits and insisted on our wrong deeds and wish that Allah ignore all our crimes and forgive us. We do not desist and want that Allah will change His rules. 

Kindly read the following verse of the Holy Quran as mentioned below:

"But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 192)

We want that we will cross the limits of Allah and Allah will not inquire us from our wrong deeds. We want that we have the right to kill any one but no judiciary even the judiciary of Allah will ask a single question about our killing. We want to destroy the belonging and looted them and wish that no one will ask us about that money. We do not want to desist and insist that Allah will forgive us. I know many scholars who always 

yelling that why Allah will not change our condition. They forgot that Allah will not change the conditions of those nations who do not desist on their wrong habits.

 

PERSECUTION IS SEVERER THAN SLAUGHTER: DO YOU AGREE WITH QURAN?

Most of the people now a days discussing on the issue that which thing is worse, persecution or slaughter. After 9/11 many people think that they have the right to kill the people in advance and one more thing people of Pakistan and Afghanistan killed in drone attacks and the Americans have a vision that they try to destroy all those who created the persecution in their country. Allah in His Book clearly mentioned that persecution is severer then slaughter. All those who wants to spread the persecution in the world are more dangerous then killing. 

Because the killer murder or kill one or two people but the persecutor spread his persecution in the whole world. Now if we closely watch the world after 9/11 then we see that few people spread the persecution in the whole world. America destroyed the two Islamic countries and just demolish all their infrastructure and killed million of innocent people in the revenge of the two or three thousand people killed in 9/11 attacks. In my point of view all those bombers who suicide and killed their self on the name of Allah are not fighting against the evil, they are actually playing in the hands of the evil forces and they destroyed the two Islamic countries and destabilized the whole muslim world. They were responsible for the killing of million people who were killed daily in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. A non ending war destroyed the mosques, Imam Bargahs, shrines, houses, shopping plaza and every where in this war million of people loose their life and valuable things and now they do not have nothing left in their lives.

Kindly read the following verse of the Holy Quran and tries to understand the basic guideline hidden in this verse.

"And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers."

(Surah No:2 & Verse No: 191)

 We become forgot that what Allah demand from us. We just start fighting without knowing our limits. Its true that the non believers start the war then we do not have any choice to defend our self. But in this war we adopt the same terminology and protocols which our apostle followed when they are in war. They never killed the innocent people, children, woman and never fire the plants and slaughter the animals. But now a days we not only blow our self but destroyed the whole area without caring that how many innocent people, children, women will killed in this attack. 

I am not against the Jihad but i am totally against the suicide bombers. Jihad in the way of Allah is the most blessing of Allah and the martyr never die it is my believe. But i also agreed on one thing that all those who wants to spread the persecution in the country need to destroy. We all need to condemn all those forces who  try to spread the persecution in the country. May Allah forgive us.

DO YOU EVER FIGHT IN THE WAY OF ALLAH?

Now a days we are passing in the era of the history in which each person is fighting with each other. We are fighting with each other on different issues and known this as the clash of civilizations. What ever we say the important thing is that we kill each other on the name of the Allah and civilization. Now a days the world is clearly divided into two parts one is the evil forces and the other who guard against them. But one thing is clear that most of the people think about the Islam that it order his followers to kill the others. This is totally wrong, Allah order to fight in the way of Allah. Now the question is arises which way is the way of Allah and when we fight in His way and where.
To understand this first we all need to read the verse of the Holy Quran first and then discussed this matter.

"And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits."

(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 190) 

Allah order us to fight those who fight with you, it means that if some forces try to kill you and your family, destroy your belongings then you are allowed to fight them and protect yourself from the destruction. But one thing Allah clearly mentioned that no one will allowed to exceeds the limits. It means that no one is allowed to kill the hundred of innocent people in reply of one killing, or destroy the whole city in the answer of destruction of his or her home. We need to understand the concept of fighting in the Islam, all the civilization need to defend their civilization, cities and mens from the attacks of the other civilization.

Islam is prohibited against any advance attack on the other civilization and countries, Islam believes in the peace but it does not mean that we are coward and do not have the ability to protect our people. We are not budhist who believe in non killing and fighting but they actuallay doing against it. But since Islam is a natural religion he allowed the people to protect their self from the attacks of the other people. We do not allowed the people that they will kill our families and we will not do nothing. 

But all those who will cross the limit will face the curse and wrath of Allah. All those who blow their self with bombs and kill the innocent people have no relation with Islam and the forces of light. They are not guard against evil, they are playing in the hands of the dark forces who assure them that if they will die they will become martyer and go to heavens after death. May Allah forgive us and gave us His light to understand His verses of the Holy Quran.

DO YOU THINK WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS ?

"They ask you concerning the new moon, Say: They are times appointed for (the benefit of) men, and (for) the pilgramage; and it is not righteousness that you should enter the houses at their backs, but righteousness is this that one should guard (against evil);  and go into the houses by their doors and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, that you may be successful."

(Surah No:2 & Verse No: 189)

Did you ever think about the above mentioned verse of the Holy Quran?. What it tells us and guide us?. We always running behind the things which are useless but we make them so much important that we even forgot the sayings of Holy Quran.We go to shrines and bow our head, knot the ties on the trees and this way we think that Allah will accept our prayers. This is not the righteousness as the old age people think that in the month of Hajj they will not enter their homes from the front doors. They think that if they will enter the house from their backs then Allah will be pleased with them.

All these things are just their assumptions as we assume that if we will knot to some trees, light the lamps and etc then Allah will be pleased and we assume that this is the righteousness. Allah clearly told s that the righteousness not lies in such things inspite of all this Allah told us that the righteousness lies in the following things.

• Believe in one Allah
• Stand against evil 

Every thing which is against the evil forces is the righteousness and all those things which will support the evil will not be the righteousess. This is a very simple formula which we will all need to follow. But i know it is so difficult, say our prayer five times a day and keep them continue till the last breath of our life is a very hard task. It is very simple that we will stand in a row and then cross a door then think that we will go to the heaven as the Muslims do on the shrine of a great sofi and scholar (Hazrat Baba Fareed). I want to declare one thing that i am not against the sufies and saints but we all need to follow the same path which they adopt. We need to follow the path of our Holy Prophet. In the presence of their life model i do not think that we all need some other role mode.

We need to think about the things and change our life style. I know it is so difficult but i know that human can do evey thing and the most important thing we need is the will, if we decide to follow the verses of the Holy Quran then you will find that the forces of the light will help you to over come on the forces of evil and dark. May Allah help us to fight against the evil ang guard our self against the evil.
