'FOLLOW THE REVELATION!' Earlier nations were destroyed for their sins.

 

Our Lord Commands:

"Follow The Revelation!"

Earlier nations and towns

were destroyed for their sins

and disobedience!

(M. Javed Naseem)

The Quran is the last Reminder to the mankind from the Supreme Creator, the Almighty Allah. If we ignore His signs and the Reminder, we will be doomed not only in this world but also in the Hereafter. The fate of the earlier nations is the proof scattered all over the world; and that invites those who believe in God to reflect and ponder upon their existence.

Every Scripture is a reminder from the Creator of the universe; and the Quran is the last reminder. Allah, the Most Merciful, sends mankind His Messengers and Prophets with reminders (scriptures), containing guidance as well as warnings so that we don’t go astray. If people ignore those warnings and revolt against the Scriptures and the Messengers, they are punished and replaced. Muslims are the last replacement nation; the Quran is the last revelation (Scripture/Book); and Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) was the last Messenger of God.

Here are the first 10 verses of Surah al-Araaf (Chapter 7) of the Holy Quran. The Almighty tells us:

“(It is) a Scripture that is revealed unto you

(O Muhammad); so let there be no heaviness in

your heart on that account – that you may warn

thereby; and (it is) a Reminder unto believers.”

(al-Quran 7:2)

That revelation is a Scripture (the Quran) which has been sent down to the mankind to remind them to be God-conscious and be warned in case they disregard God’s signs and commands. Allah, the Almighty, reminds us every day, in every phase of our journey and in every sphere of life that He is running the show; He is the Master of Ceremony and He is the Supreme Controller. Whatever is in the heavens, on earth and in-between, belongs to Him; and to Him belongs the sovereignty of the universe. He has no partners and there is nobody else who could save us from any disaster, any catastrophe or death. There is no king or president or premier that was appointed as God's deputy on this earth. Humans have rights and obligations; and nobody has the right to enslave them. 

“Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto

you from your Lord; and follow not, as friends

or protectors, other than Him! Little it is

you remember of admonition.”

(al-Quran 7:3)

Earlier nations were punished and destroyed for their disobedience to Allah’s Commands; for their revolt against the Scriptures and the Prophets/Messengers; and for their sinful ways of life that defied all guiding rules and regulations (or God’s laws). They were destroyed along with their dwellings and towns. Today we see their remains and flock as tourists at the ancient ruins. But all ruins, all historical sites and all ancient monuments deliver the same message: Follow the Scriptures, Obey your Creator and never revolt against the Divine Commands! Allah commands us to stand up for justice and peace and become voice of the voiceless. We should promote good and forbid evil.

Today we see death and destruction, bloodshed, wars, floods, earthquakes and wild fires all over the world. We pray for peace and tranquility but face only chaos. It’s all due to our bad choices in life. We are constantly disobeying the Lord Creator; constantly revolting against the Scriptures and constantly living sinful life without any regard to the Commands of Allah. Obviously, our Lord Creator is not pleased with us, hence the punishment and suffering.

Apart from that, we have abandoned our social values and have no empathy. Our brethren in other countries are being killed or invaded by evil forces and oppressed but we don’t care. We don’t care because it is not happening to us, our families and children. We have lost compassion and love; and with that the sense of justice and decency. The world has become a jungle with “might is right” as the common law. We have lost touch of humanity.

Allah tells us in the Quran that justice will be delivered – every good deed will earn good rewards and every bad/evil deed will be punished. Those in the corridors of power today, are following the Devil’s plot. They don’t want to hear about Allah, God, the Scriptures or the Quran. They are lost in power and wealth. They’ll come to their senses after losing that power. And it’s going to happen soon – maybe very soon!

“The balance that day will be true (to nicety):

Those whose scale (of good deeds) will be

heavy, will prosper.”

(al-Quran 7:8)

“Those whose scale will be light, will be their

souls in perdition, for that they wrongfully

treated Our signs.”

(al-Quran 7:9)
