The greatest gift that a person can receive is the gift of
faith (eemaan). And by faith it is meant “the belief in Allah and that Muhammad
ﷺ
is the final messenger (and Prophet) of Allah”. It also means to disbelieve any
object, person or deity as being worthy of worship. Of the greatest exemplaries
of true faith is none other than Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) – peace be
upon him. It is he who was instructed to call people to the hajj (pilgrimage)
and Muslims still carry out this ritual to this day.
This is an example of what confirms Islam as the true
religion. Muslims are far from perfect and, in their non-adherence to the
pristine teachings of Islam, are not always good examples of Islam. However,
what is true is that faith is about your belief in Allah and, in striving to
overcome your shortcomings, have hope in the Mercy of Allah. A single man,
Abraham – peace be upon him – called people to the pilgrimage and every year,
about three million Muslims, from all over the world, descend on Makkah to perform
the pilgrimage while two billion Muslims look on and, for most, have the desire
to also perform the pilgrimage soon. This is reason enough to be grateful, but
time and space can never do justice to list everything for which you should be
grateful. Christians and Jews too accept Ibrahim – peace be upon him – but it
is Muslims who follow him for he was neither a Jew nor a Christian but was one
who submitted to Allah, i.e. one who submits to Allah is a Muslim. How then can
any Muslim be anti-semitic when we are so strongly attached to Prophet Ibrahim –
peace be upon him – that his way is our way. The pilgrimage is at the same time
of the sacrifice of the ram in the place of Ismail. All this is an indication
of how grateful we should be to be Muslim. The Palestinians have demonstrated their
faith, living it and we are all witness to it. While we may not want to be in
such a situation, imagine the level of their faith versus ours. But our tests are
coming. South Africans have been deceived in believing good will come from the
case before the ICJ. The case is likely to have challenges and perhaps fall
flat as there is regime change in South Africa. It is not always possible to
see every deception or to see the link between two points of deception. But it
is easier when standing for the truth, you will be separated from those who
believe in being colourful with the truth in their deceptive manner.
If truth be told, then the sacrifice of animals, mostly sheep,
carries a profound lesson. For you to stand with truth, you have to slaughter
the sheeple in you, i.e. the blind following and acceptance of
government, political leaders, and people of dubious character. The same people
that brought you the genocide, likely has a hand in every country in the world,
include South Africa. The same people bring you scams and makes you believe
that they have your best interest at heart. Don’t worry about conspiracy theories,
concern yourself about the truth. The truth will reveal the conspiracies. And
Prophet Ibrahim – peace be upon him – is such a great example.
