from The Book of Knowledge

Narrated by Abu Huraira(may Allah be please with him):

While Prophet(SAW) was saying something in a gathering, a bedouin came and asked him,”When would the Hour(Doomsday) take place?” Allah’s Messenger(SAW) continued his talk, so some people said that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) did not like what the bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) had not heard it. When the Prophet(Peace be upon him) finished his speech, he said,” Where’s the questioner, who enquired about the Hour?”

The bedouin said,”I am here, O Allah’s Messenger”.

Then the Prophet (SAW) said,” When Al-Amanah (i.e. the trust or the moral responsibility or honesty and all duties which Allah has ordained) is lost, then wait for the Hour.”

The bedouin said,”How will that be lost?”

The Propher (peace be upon him) replied,” When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour(Doomsday).”

Friends?!

Pakistanis have recently started showing overwhelming interest in forming bonds of friendship with India. They have been struggling in every possible way to be a part of their circles. We have seen co-productions of movies and soaps as a gesture to confirm my above statement. Not only that, the recent event of setting Iqbal Singh free when he’d been acquitted to be the spy from India is a huge leap in that affair. Ansar Burney was in the media spot light for setting him free. (It’s another thing that he posed before media a lot to show I don’t know what.)

But what about the Indian side?! Have they forgotten that Pakistan and Bangladesh have been the part of their “motherland” which Muslims brutally amputated?! Have their prejudices against Muslims died?! Have they extended their hand of friendship as well?! These questions are far from being responded to lately. Whenever the Pakistani media talks about the whole India-Pakistan relationship, it ends up showing that we are being so great as to forget all the past differences and are making progress in forming a bond. But is it true?!

The Gujrat pogrom has been exposed and the minister has been caught on tape as to ordering the holocaust of Muslims. He’s still in the ministry and I wonder where are the international Human Rights’ activists?! Where is U.S. Army who has taken the job of “liberating” Muslims from the atrocities of the not just the “religion” but also from the “oppressive” leaders?! The recent news of Khalid Mehmood, who went to watch a match in India was torutred to death in an Indian cell is overwhelmingly inhumane. Oh! but doesn’t it remind of us Muslims being torutred in Abu Ghraib prison or Gauntanamo Bay. So, where is Ansar Burney, the human rights’ activists or U.S. again. One might wonder why I bring in U.S. so much. It’s because they have taken up the responsibilty of making this world a better place, for liberating Muslims or other people from oppression and inhumane laws and practices.

Back to square one. How many of the Pakistanis have been corrupted by the Indian media whereas, India has boycotted all the Pakistani channels. Why are Muslims dying to be near them one still wonders. The fantasy of India shown on T.V. might be all charming but how can one turn a blind eye to all the atrocities committed by their government delibrately. There’s a saying by the Prophet (S.A.W) that a Momin is never bitten by the same hole again. And we have to look into ourselves and be conscious of every step we take, every nation we befriend and every deed we commit not just as  a nation but also as individuals.

Hypocricy of the West unleased.

For the last couple of days the words of Mohammad Asad from his book The Road to Makkahare ringing in my ears. There is an incident mentioned in this book where the author and a fellow non-muslim traveller asks a beduin (trying to conrner him) that why is that a Muslim man is allowed to marry into a Jewish/Christian family but a Muslim woman is not? And the beduin replies to these educated men that if a Jewish/Christian woman is married into a Muslim family, she will never hear a word every said against the Prophets of her faith whereas, if a Muslim woman marries into a Jewish/Christian family, she’d definitely hear words against the last Prophet (Peace be upon him).

The so-called civilised world unleashes it’s brutality, it’s grotesque-ness and sickness of their minds with hurling insults at our Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) by drawing the caricatures of our beloved Prophet just in the name of Freedom of Speech. They’d go on and on about it but paradoxically they’d persecute anyone who denies holocaust.
