You have demonstrated that your
enemies really don’t have to fear you. They have carte blanche over their
actions in Gaza because they know they don’t have to fear you.
And you go away saying that “of
course, we are not a violent people” and “Islam is a religion of peace”. Let’s
park that for a moment but you need to understand that Islam is a complete way
of life. It is true that the world, including Muslims, have fallen into a trap
and because it has already become generational, it is not easy to completely
remove this and extricate ourselves from it. However, Islam is a complete way
of life, and every Muslim should strive fully to live accordingly. Muslims have
abdicated responsibility for being those “who enjoin good and forbid evil”
because they have submitted to a system beyond Islam. How then can you be feared
for justice, per Allah’s decree, if it is not your priority because you see the
world through western eyes? What is to be feared? It is not Islam that is to be
feared but the perpetrators of injustice and genocide ought to fear justice,
the justice that Allah wants to be implemented, i.e. no one should harm the
innocent else they will face the justice that Allah has commanded. Were you to
take an example of the feebleness of Muslims and their adherence to practices foreign
to Islam, then you look at one of the great injunctions in Islam and that is
the care of parents. Quran makes mention of parents and their status by Allah
and how they should be honoured and treated. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ makes
mention of parents in numerous narrations. Nowhere does Quran and Sunnah teach
us about singling out one day for either mothers or fathers. Yet, we see that
from outside of Islam. Had you been in your numbers in marching on Gaza as you
were celebrating an event foreign to Islam, then it is likely Allah would have
granted us victory. Sure, you are more inclined or in a position to spoil your
parents at some times more than others, but does these occasions have to be
manifested on a particular date and, in a manner, from outside of Islam. As
long as you take lesson from outside Islam, while Islam has emphatic guidance
on the topic, then what does that show you? Islam teaches us about the rights
and obligations towards every person in society. Yet if you take lesson from
outside of Islam, then what does your enemy have to fear? You fall for any gimmick
and ploy. Do you have to wait for Mother’s day to flood social media with
messages for your mother? Why use social media to do this in the first place?
Honour your mother every day. Her status and rank do not increase through posts
on social media. Likewise, your father. Honour your father every day. Pray for
them every day. What better reward for a parent than to have an obedient, Allah-conscious
child. And what about the parent who raises a martyr?
You will dismiss this note but
know that from one borrowing from outside of Islam, you will have a lifestyle
of borrowing from outside of Islam. Will your life be mere rituals? We pray for
understanding. We pray to be that ummah Allah wants us to be. We thank Allah
for our parents and those of us born Muslim, we ask Allah to bless our parents
abundantly for placing the kalimah (the testimony of faith) on our tongues.
