They are our mothers

 


The vast majority of people, because of their morality, will not take kindly to someone swearing and cursing their mother. What exactly will be your response to such a vile act? What if it is your own brother swearing your mother? This seems unimaginable but it is real. There are real family issues and cause families to split or to disown their own.

Hezbollah lost their leader on the weekend. Since then, the world witnessed a show of fireworks as Iran fired two hundred missiles on occupied Palestine, some calling it Israel. There is every indication that the groundwork is being laid for a world war, yet the latest Iranian action needs scrutiny. That scrutiny I leave to you because it is easy to dismiss a statement without taking the time to analyse the facts, and, in the absence of clear facts, to look at plausibility. Let us go back to history defining moment in Islam. The year is 680AD. Hussain bin Ali is the grandson of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He opposed the caliphate of Yazeed bin Muawiyah. While in Makkah, he was invited to Kufah whose people wanted to pledge allegiance to him. He travelled there with his family and camped about 70km away, at Karbala. There he was martyred with many of his family while the people of Kufah, after inviting him, offered not even one person is support. Thus, the people of Kufah betrayed Hussain. These same people wish to venerate him after his death while his death can be attributed to their betrayal. Shi’ism started off as political but because they declare(d) the majority of the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as apostates, the differences with Sunni Islam are noticeable. There are many books on the subject and many ulama capable on the subject. The primary difference, more than their claim that Ali bin Talib should have been the first caliph rather than Abu Bakr, is their reviling of the noble companions and the wives of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The wives of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ are considered the “mothers of the believers” (per Quran 33:6). Thus, there is a group who swear our mothers and making takfeer (pronouncing a Muslim out of the fold of Islam). This group betrayed Hussain bin Ali but claims to love the Ahlul Bayt.

While some may think that notes like this cause division, then rather consider this as a reminder, both to protect our eemaan (faith) and to firmly show our love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his household – including his wives, and all his companions – Allah be pleased with them. The last thing to consider is the complicity of the Iranians in the death of Ismail Haniya, followed by their unimpactful missile “attack” on Israel.

The call to the Muslims is to stick to their faith, following Quran and Sunnah. Allah has raised the rank of the companions and wives of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Those who revile them are not of us and we are not of them. We place our trust in Allah who will grant victory to the believers.

Real Entertainment

 


It’s raining bombs. It is true literally and, globally, figuratively. Bombs kill. Some instantaneously and some die a slow death. Worse still, if you are captured by the deception and become the walking dead.

Movies and entertainment have become real. You hear the phrase “like it is out of a movie” more and more. An example is what you make of the Trump ordeal. It is all real, isn’t it? Just like the torrents of rain that Cape Town is experiencing. I hear it being attributed to global warming. If you hear a lie often enough, you might believe it. Trust Allah and believe in His guidance unconditionally and wholeheartedly. Just something to be reminded of is that as part of the belief in Allah, is to disbelieve is falsehood and false deities. Analysing global issues further, Keir Starmer became new UK Prime minister. He is allegedly an atheist and is married to Victoria Alexander, a Jew. In South Africa, real state capture is coming to fruition and still people talk about democracy, as if it is real. By the time your child has been through thirteen years (or more) of schooling, they will have had more indoctrination pumped through their veins that their basic Islamic education. Which way will they lean? Allah protect us all. Before you get carried away with thinking this is all about conspiracy theories, you need to go back to the basics. Firstly, you have placed education in the hands of those who are opposed to Allah’s law. You went through the mild form, yet sufficiently intoxicating, of their education system. The time for indoctrination on steroids is here. Secondly, many have faith in what is presented to them by transgressors or is “scoundrels” a better word. Little attention is paid to Allah’s laws and when it is, it is more often seen from a “western” angle. This life of deception is reaching a crescendo. You talk about matters as if it is normal and real. It is only real because you accept it and believe it. Accusations is aimed at the Arab world, in particular, for their lack of concrete steps to end the genocide, and rightly so. But have you done enough, if anything? Have you learnt anything from the Palestinians? How do you support Palestine but believe and partake in the fear-mongering scamdemics perpetrated by the same people who fund and commit genocide? Do you think they only kill by bombing? Then too in your beliefs, do you really think Karbala is the reason for Youm-us-Shura? Ignorance may be a defence at times, but when you are called to learn, reflect, think, ponder, do you not turn away? When it is said Allah and His Rasool (Muhammad ﷺ) says, do you not retort with “but …”.

At this juncture, it is better to remain silent than to spread the lies and deception that you have been taught or gathered from mainstream media and the scoundrels that they represent and parade.
