SEEK THE TRUTH! Don't Be Fooled By Media Lies & Deception!

 

A Wake-up Call

Seek The Truth!

Don't Be Fooled By

Media Lies/Deception!

(M. Javed Naseem)

Life asked Death:

“Why people hate you and love me?”

Death replied:

“Because you are a BEAUTIFUL lie,

and I am a PAINFUL truth!”

Truth and falsehood (lies, deception) go in the opposite directions. We go for ‘looks’ on the outside or ‘appearances’, glitter and attractive packing without caring much about the inside or the contents. But it is the contents that matter. It is OK to check the credentials of the messenger to see if he is trustworthy but it is a lot more important to see the message he brings. All prophets brought the message of Truth from Allah, the Almighty. Allah created everything in Truth and prescribed the same Truth for all maladies inflicting us.

‘Tawheed’ (Oneness of Allah) is the first and the foremost pillar of Islam. It was established centuries before the creation of Adam. Islam was the norm of Heaven and all angels submitted to the Will of God. Islam is total surrender and submission to the Will of Allah. By that yardstick, all Prophets/Messengers of Allah were Muslims and they delivered the same message of Truth.

Allah prescribed only one ‘Deen’ (faith or religion) for mankind, and that is Islam. All prophets (messengers) brought the message of Islam to their respective nations. It started with Adam and was completed with Muhammad (s.a.w.). Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (s.a.w.) all preached and practiced Islam. It is only Islam – the Truth – everything else is either from Satan or from pagans – the beautiful lies!

Since the creation of the universe, Allah, the Creator, has been sending us His message through different messengers in different times. The messengers were different, languages were different, cultures were different, peoples were different and diverse but the message was the same, one and universal – there is only One God (Allah) worthy of worship and He has no partners, no family, nor children.

We go out of our way to make things comfortable and easy for us in this world and forget all about the Hereafter. Allah says:

وَما ٱلْحَيَاةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَاعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ

“… The life of this world is but

comfort of illusion...”

(al-Quran 3:185)

And we buy illusion at the expense of reality – the real everlasting life of the Hereafter.

Man, under the influence of Satan, distorted God’s message through his corrupt ways, in every era. But eventually, it was truth that prevailed. Truth always prevails because it comes from Allah and lies (or falsehood) from Satan (Devil). Devil buries the truth under the filthy heap of dung so that nobody cares to dig it out. The dirty work demands a lot of patience, sacrifice, hard work and guidance. There are not many who want to do that digging.

When there is too much of ‘Haram’ – corruption and evil practices – in a society and the people, who are capable (and responsible) of stopping that, do nothing about it, that society should wait for ‘azab-Allah’ – the wrath of Allah. Evil-doing and corruption bring punishment of God, the Almighty. That is a very natural course. If we open the Holy Quran, we’ll find the stories of previous nations who rejected the message of Allah, deviated from the right path and rebelled against the Laws of Allah. They were wiped off the land as if they never existed. The nations of Aad, Thamud, Noah, Nimrod, Lot, Shuaib, Pharaoh, etc., they all became part of the history and a lesson for the mankind. Allah says:

“We destroyed the generations before you

when they did wrong; and their messengers

(from Allah) came unto them with clear

proofs (of His Sovereignty), but they

would not believe. Thus do we reward

the guilty folk.”

(al-Quran 10:13)

Did the mankind really learn any lesson from history? Today, we are in the same situation once again. Allah has extended the leash, given us plenty of time to repent and change our ways, but nothing has improved. On the contrary, the only change that we see, is the change for the worse – ‘Haram’ is spreading. We are chasing an illusion. We have ignored all warnings and have arrogantly defied the Commands of Allah. Allah tells us:

“Already have We urged unto Hell many of the

Jinn and men. They have hearts wherewith

they understand not; eyes wherewith they

see not; and ears wherewith they hear not.

They are like cattle, nay they are worse!

They are heedless (of warning).”

(al-Quran 7:179)

We have made our choices. We have sowed the seeds of injustice and corruption; the seeds of evil and transgression; and now is the time to harvest. We shall reap what we have sowed, that is the law of nature. If that has happened to the nations of the old, it can happen to us too. We are NO exception! We have seen the warning signs – the fires, floods, storms and hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and the wars. But we didn’t budge. The door of repentance is still open. There is very little time left but there’s still a chance. It might be our last chance!
