IF YOU DISOBEY ALLAH Or Turn Away, You'll Be Replaced!

 

Are We Being Replaced?


If You Disobey Allah

Or Turn Away,

You’ll Be Replaced!

(M. Javed Naseem)

 


Allah the Almighty, the Supreme Creator, created humans to glorify Him, worship Him, obey Him, thank Him and live on the planet Earth as per the rules prescribed by Him through the Scriptures. He also made it very clear that Satan (the Devil) was the No.1 enemy of humans. Allah forbade us (humans) to follow the footsteps of the Devil, and spread corruption in the world. He also warned us of severe punishment (like Hellfire) if we disobeyed Him and spread corruption through our evil deeds. He gave us advance warnings.

Now, if we look at the world today, we see only evil and corruption all over. Only a very small minority of people obey Allah and live the righteous life. The Devil rules us because we allow him to do that. If we honestly and sincerely obey the Almighty, the Devil and his friends would be defeated. But this is not happening because of our hypocrisy and dishonesty. The temporary glitter of the fake gold (this world) has mesmerized us. We are chasing the material world at the cost of our Hereafter. And we don’t seem to care about the results. Allah questions our intelligence:

Have they not seen how many generations We

destroyed before them which We had established

upon the earth as We have not established you?

And We sent [rain from] the sky upon them in

showers and made rivers flow beneath them; then

We destroyed them for their sins and brought

forth after them a generation of others.”

(al-Quran 6:6)

The Almighty God destroyed many a nation in the past history that rebelled against Him, disobeyed His Commands and promoted evil-living or corruption. We were supposed to learn our lesson from the stories of those earlier nations but we seem not to care. It is obvious that if we don’t care and mend our ways, our fate would be similar to those nations passed before us. The Laws of Allah don’t change and His promise is true. We are just fooling ourselves.

We have abandoned Allah and the teachings of the Prophets and Messengers of Allah do not interest us any more. Our lives are shallow and our characters are dubious. We have become empty shells but we are trying our best to paint those shells with attractive colors like Easter eggs. That fools everybody. We prefer to be cool, hip and mod instead of being righteous and pious. A serious look at the Muslim world tells us that there’s bloodshed, death & destruction, turmoils, social, economic and political problems in every Muslim country. Its leaders are dishonest, corrupt and of shady characters who are ruling people with lies, deception and betrayal. But where those corrupt leaders come from? From the corrupt and dishonest nation! Simple as that!

When we leave God, keep Faith out of our daily lives, we become herds of animals and cattle driven only by stronger animals and cattle, even by wolves. There’s one valid excuse though – the Zionist Agenda. But that agenda is more like a means of punishment. The real reason is hypocrisy, ignorance and corruption among Muslims. With practically no faith and no conviction, you can’t go too far on the road to success. Here’s a warning from Allah:

*********************************************

O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns

back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people

whom He will love and they will love Him; humble

towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers,

fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the

blame of the critics. That is the Grace of Allah which

He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All-

Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.”

(al-Quran 5:54)

*********************************************

As believers, we have made covenant with Allah that we will worship only Him, obey Him, seek help from Him and live in this world by the rules prescribed by Him. But most of the time, we break that covenant. We disobey Him, we ignore Him and we disregard all His warnings of punishment. That’s really stubborn and stupid on our part. Allah does not need us but we need Allah in our lives all the times. We simply cannot survive without Him. He is our sole Provider, our Cherisher and Protector in every way, always and forever! Therefore, it is only just and fair that we pay our due and obey His Commands.

 


The Bible says:

  1. Jesus replied, ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.'” (John 14:23)

  2. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:17)

  3. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)

  4. Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.” (Proverbs 10:17)
