Things to consider

 

They walked wide-eyed into the trap. They were blinded even with perfect vision. They were weakened even though they ate and drank well. They were poor even though they lived in beautiful houses and drove fancy cars. Their hearing was good, loving the vibey noisy atmosphere.

The stories of Quran are more than just stories. Every story in Quran has application and, right now, in our state, we can analyse and apply  it to us. One story that comes to mind is that of Talut, when marching to fight Jalut, instructed the army not to drink from the water from the river, yet many of them drank. They were not allowed to continue with the army. Alhamdulillah, the reduced, smaller army was still granted victory. Today, Muslims are lured into various traps, some openly siding with the enemy, others drinking from the water and becoming ineffective in establishing justice and peace. First off is that Muslims need to understand their shahadah (testimony of faith) which is based on Tauheed. The “army” of Muslims will be small, and you will need to understand the reasons for it. Then ask yourself whether you are part of this army or have you already disqualified yourself. Words are easy to utter, it is in the execution that you are part of the those who call to good and forbid the evil. When you are instructed not to drink from the river, will you drink?

Politics and economics affect us all. Yet, which politics and which economics today are Islamic? You may be concerned about Trump’s election as president, but it is of little consequence to us. Rather, it is the system and who he represents that are greater concern. People talk about state capture but that has been the order of the day from long before. This means that the majority of people in the world are governed and ruled over by a much stronger cabal (Zionism?) than the people you think is your government. So, what is the way forward. You have three options open to you: One is to drink from the river (which most are doing anyway). Secondly, you can abstain from drinking from the river. Thirdly, you can remove yourself from the worldly affairs and claim your worship is all that matters.

You have been blessed by being given that extra moment to make the right decision. Use it and choose wisely. There is no place for cowboys, nor cowards.
