Good Or Evil: Your
Choice!
Hurting Mankind Is Like
Hurting Yourself.
Don’t Wrong Your Own Souls
For Temporary Benefit!
(M. Javed Naseem)
“Has not the story
reached them of those before
them – i.e., the
People of Noah, and Aad, and
Thamud; the People of
Abraham, the men of
Midian, and the
cities overthrown? To them
came their messengers
with clear signs. It is
not Allah Who wrongs
them, but
they wrong their own
souls.”
(al-Quran 9:70)
We, as believers, are commanded by our Almighty Creator Lord
to enjoin Good and forbid Evil so that we create a healthy, just and peaceful
society. But greed and selfishness has turned our eyes blind. We have stopped
distinguishing between right and wrong; good and evil; just and unjust; Halal
and Haraam. We have changed our social and cultural values. We have lost
sympathy, love and compassion for others, but we have developed love for
wealth, material things and worldly comforts. How and when is it going to end?
At death and in grave!
The Bible says:
(Hosea 9:9)
“They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of
Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.”
We cooperate with each other in evil but not in the cause of
good. We see the victims of injustice and aggression and turn our faces away.
And we pretend to uphold the principles of freedom, justice and peace. In fact,
we are hypocrites! Allah warns us:
“The Hypocrites, men
and women, (have an
understanding) with
each other. They enjoin evil,
and forbid what is
just, and are close with their
hands. They have
forgotten Allah; so He has
forgotten them (too).
Verily the Hypocrites are
rebellious and
perverse. Allah has promised the
Hypocrites - men and
women, and the rejecters,
of Faith, the fire of
Hell. Therein shall they dwell.
Sufficient is it for
them. For them is the curse of
Allah, and an
enduring punishment.”
(al-Quran 9:67-68)
In today’s world, most Jews are not happy with their Rabbis;
most Christians are not happy with their Priests and Popes; and most Muslims
are not happy with their Imams, preachers and leaders. They all have one common
reason for that – corruption! People (even religious leaders and guides) have
no character, no principles, no honesty, no com-passion and no feelings for
others. They are all slaves to their own desires and are all selfishly pursuing
the goal of accumulating as much wealth as possible. The pity is that many of
them are not even able to enjoy that wealth. They leave it for others and
become dust with dust.
The Bible says:
(2 Peter 2:2)
“Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful
immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.”
(2. Isaiah 1:4)
“Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a
brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord.”
People who follow the Holy Books honestly and sincerely, are
ridiculed, insulted and even physically attacked because of ignorance, hate and
Islamophobia. The evil forces have joined hands in their bloody campaign
against the godly. Zionists are controlling the world although most people in
the world hate them because of their evildoings for the last 100 years or more.
Allah says in the Quran:
“O you who believe!
There are indeed many
among the priests and
anchorites, who in falsehood
devour the substance
of men and hinder (them)
from the way of
Allah. And there are those who
hoard up gold and
silver and spend it not in the
way of Allah.
Announce unto them a most grievous
penalty. On the day
when it will (all) be heated
in the fire of hell,
and their foreheads and their
flanks and their
backs will be branded therewith
(and it will be said
unto them): Here is that which
you hoarded for
yourselves. Now taste of
what you used to
hoard.”
(al-Quran 9:34-35)
The Jews and the Christians were warned in the Bible too:
(Deuteronomy 31:29)
“I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt
and will turn from the way I have commanded you to follow. In the days to come,
disaster will come down on you, for you will do what is evil in the Lord’s sight,
making Him very angry with your actions.”
No matter how hurtful and destructive this is, the fact
remains that it is temporary – a matter of time. It will be over sooner or
later. The Almighty has guaranteed Believers that the eternal guiding light cannot
be extinguished by the evil forces.
“Fain would they
extinguish Allah's light with
their mouths, but
Allah will not allow but that
His light should be
perfected, even though the
Unbelievers may
detest (it).”
(al-Quran 9:32)
The Bible says:
(Proverbs 3:33)
“The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, but He
blesses the dwelling of the righteous.”
Whatever is happening in Syria,
Iraq, Libya, Yemen,
Afghanistan, Kashmir, Burma,
etc., is a test for those who claim to be Believers. Allah is testing them as
to what they do against injustice, tyranny, aggression, oppression, and unjust
invasion of Muslim countries killing thousands of innocent people. Allah asks
them in the Quran:
“O you who believe!
What is the matter with you,
that, when you are
asked to go forth in the cause of
Allah, you cling
heavily to the earth? Do you prefer
the life of this
world to the Hereafter? But little is the
comfort of this life,
as compared with the Hereafter.
Unless you go forth,
He will punish you with a
grievous penalty, and
put others in your place; but
Him you would not
harm in the least. For Allah has
power over all
things.”
(al-Quran 9:38-39)
Jesus Christ knew what priests were doing, therefore, he
warned all Christians:
James 4:4
“You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with
the World is enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the World,
makes himself an enemy of God.”
We are afraid of the powerful elite because we don’t have
the power of Faith (Iman). We lack trust in Allah and that makes us coward. A
coward dies a hundred times before death! A man lives by his conscience and
principles of humanity, but an animal lives on its survival instinct – no
principles. We quote sayings and slogans from famous people in the history but
we never learned lessons from the history.
“As in the case of
those before you, they were
mightier than you in
power, and more flourishing
in wealth and
children. They had their enjoyment of
their portion; and
you have of yours, as did those
before you; and you
indulge in idle talk as they did.
They; their work are
fruitless in this world and in the
Hereafter, and they
will lose (all spiritual good).”
(al-Quran 9:69)
