The Past, Present, and Future: History repeats itself
Assalamualaikum semua..
Buat rakan2, ikhwah akhawat, pembaca setia, pembaca tak setia, dan para bloggers sekalian.Alhamdulillahi rabbil-'alamin, selawat dan salam setinggi-tinggi selawat kepda junjungan kita Nabi Muhammad s.a.w yg tercinta.Segala puji bagi Allah, selaku rabbul 'alamin yg telah memanjangkan hayat ana sesaat demi sesaat utk ana teruskan ber-blogging.
Amma ba'd..
Our beloved prophet s.a.w once said:
"Prophethood (zaman Nubuwwah) shall last as long as Allah wishes and He will take it away as he wishes to. Next comes caliphs applying the prophet's methods ('ala minhaj an-nubuwwah) and it will last as long as Allah wishes.He will take it away as He wishes to. Then comes the biting dynasties (rulers based on bloodline and familly) and it shall last as long as Allah wishes, and He takes it away whenever He wants to. Then comes military rulers (just like today). It will last so long as Allah wishes it to last and he will take it away. Finally, comes the caliphs using the prophet's method ('ala minhaj an-nubuwwah).."
Dear muslim brothers and sisters.
What we see is happening now, tell me what are your opinions?
The prophet Muhammad s.a.w had already described all this 1400 years ago.
Back then, they have no internet, no media, no newspapers whatsoever to tell anyone what is happening around the world. I mean, even the media cannot predict what will happen tommorow.
First, we heard the history where the period of the prophet Muhammad s.a.w lasted for 20 years or so.
Then, the perod of the caliphs implementing the method of the prophet. This was when the four great Caliphs: Abu Bakar, Umar, Uthman and Ali ruled. They followed what the prophet taught them without any doubt in their hearts. They Obeyed Allah, and have strong faith in Him. The people back then, they understood, supported and loved the caliphs because they recieved good tarbiyah (indoctrination/education) during that time. The Romans and Persians were crushed. How did this happened? Of course during this periods, there are many of the companions or sahabats of the prophet to preach islam towards the people. They followed the Quran and Sunnah. They copied what the prophet did during those days. Any issues aroused, the Quran and Sunnah were referred to.
After the four caliphs ended due to rebellions (traitors from various corners of the world; some persians, couple of jews and so on) the islamic world were divided. The umayyah, fatimiyah and abbasiyah. But then, Salahuddin united these countries under Abbasiyah rule. This is when the biting kingdom started. The biting kingdoms actually meant that these empires last for very long period of time, the rulers were passed down to familly members. This ended on 1924 where the Ottoman (Uthmaniyah) fell into the hands of the western civillization. It fell because the values of islam were not practiced. That was how the rest of the previous empire fell (Umayyah, Fatimiyah and Abbasiyah).
Move on to the 20th century, today. Military governments. Okay, some of you might have questions on why today is the period of military govts? What about the democracy practiced by the US, England, Malaysia and a large porton of the world? They seemed peaceful, they use the voice of the people. What do I mean by military?
Now, don't be fooled by the so-called democracy that have been practiced in large parts of the world. Before the gave democracy, the british came and plundered our lands. Am I right? The westerns came and sucked the recources of every country dry. Then, they leave the land giving "democracy" while the leaders still rule using their systems.
And we see zionisme, and how the zionists took our land away from us (Palestine) and place puppet govt as a figure to run that land for them.
Do you see what I mean by military leaders?
The implication of such rule we see today, is very sad. See how many countries were in debt? Then comes the moral issues of the youth. As if they don't need any clothes anymore.
The decline of moral values is not new brothers and sisters. Study the history of the Romans, the Persians, and the Arabs before the prophet came. Adultery, murder, war, child abuse and so on. We see this today.
But fear not brothers and sisters. The caliph is coming. Islam will rule the world once more.
But we have to play our role in improving ourselves, get closer to Allah and give tarbiyah to people closest to you. Show them the true values of islam. It is not easy, life is never easy bro. It is a long way.
Spread islam through da'wah. Follow the path of the prophets. He did not have a big car, a large house or air-conditioned classrooms to teach the companions. But he (s.a.w) had something to hang on to. The Quran, the word of Allah.
You see how the prophet describes this? He did not speak as he wishes.He did not speak syok sendiri. But he speaks the word of Allah.
What he said came true.
But for that to happen, we must practice the authentic teachings of islam ourselves first. Read the Quran not just as a zikr, but read it as though you are searching for orders from Allah. Make detailed research on tafsir, study the hadiths.Study the history of islam. Get to know people like Hassan al-Banna, Syed Qutb, Umar Mokhtar, Abul A'lal Maududi and other names who brought islam back to life.
Don't take my word for it. See for yourself. Study our history in detail and understand. Insyaallah you will see what I mean.
Wallahu'alam..
I am not a lebai or an ustaz to give hours of lectures on wudhu' or 99 names or how to do solat in a train. I am an ordinary person, just like you, just like anyone else. I am just someone who's concerned about the ummah.
p/s: those who were tagged, plz spread this among those closest to you and to those around you. Allahuakbar!! ("o)9
