Blow the Trumpet - Part 3

 

There has never been a case that masajid (plural of masjid meaning mosque) were closed except in the year 2020CE. In annotating the year as CE and not AD is part of eemaan. Who will reflect on this? It is long overdue to call a spade a spade.

In 1948 saw the creation of a state in occupied Palestine. Many will call it a “z i o n ist” state. So, they differentiate between Jews and Zionists. That is another discussion, but far beyond this post. What is clear though that the same people (and their ilk and offspring) who created this state, also had the run of the show in the United States of America and elsewhere. Did they have a hand in the creation of the UN and its various structures? Which country gets the most aid from the USA? Who supplies them with weapons, etc? Do you have an inkling of who these people are? Now what if the same people run industries like big pharma? Who benefits most from the “medical” emergency of 2020? Do you see a connection? Are they not the same people? Did these people cause you to close the masajid? Did you distance yourself even from close family, like your parents? If you look to Palestine – especially now, can you see that what is transpiring there because of these people who can destroy you and your family? The most important thing that will benefit you is your eemaan. Is eemaan not that we worship Allah alone, knowing that He is our Lord, the Nourisher, Cherisher, Provider and Healer, amongst His many attributes? Is eemaan not to forsake and disbelieve in anyone or anything else?

The time to join the dots is long overdue. While some have seen the error in their ways concerning this point, the subject is pretty much taboo in our society, except by going with the official narrative. People get on platforms shouting for Palestine while at the same time adhering to the protocols of the very same people inflicting great harm on the Palestinians. This brings us, briefly, onto the subject of boycott. While Muslims, at best, are enacting the weakest form of eemaan when it comes to seeing a wrong and then enjoining the right, by making dua, there is opportunity to do a little more. How about watching what we spend in assisting the killing of Palestinians? How about concerning yourself with restricting yourself a little. Muslims have just fasted by abstaining from even halal (permissible) food during daylight hours. How about fasting from products that is not essential to you in the least, products for which there are replacements or product that you can live without, products to which you are addicted only and not essential? And if you can do more, then do more, or will you remain heedless?

While on the subject of economics, it looks dire for world economics at present. Fasting should have taught us much, and the main lesson is Allah-consciousness. Look at the field of economics and see if and how it aligns to Islam. Being Allah-conscious will make you aware because of your strong eemaan, being conscious of what pleases Allah and striving to do so.
