2020: THE MASSIVE WAKEUP CALL

Date:

Bint-e-Mushtaq

The whole world knows that we are witnessing a tragedy on a global scale. What we are seeing the shutting down of Masajids due to the fear of the trepidation that is affecting the whole world.

Words can never describe the agony that Muslims feel because the houses of Allah are closed everywhere and it’s a tough time, a great sign, a message for all Muslims to wake up. It’s time to reconnect to Allah. We have to understand that Almighty Allah is the only controller of this universe.

Due to this outbreak of this deadly disease, the whole world is suffering and trying to get rid of it.

Everything has been lifted up by Allah the blessing of peace, the blessing of security.

Commerce and industry have almost come to an end. when we thought we had reached our pinnacles when we thought we had come to the top of civilization and suddenly all this has been replaced with death.

Allah has put us in a plague and no one knows how to get cured of this disease. Allah doesn’t change the status of people unless and until they have changed themselves and when Allah wants to inflict a punishment upon people no one can come between Allah and Allah’s punishment. Allah says in the Quran: verily Allah will not change the condition of a people until they strive to change themselves [13:11]

If we understand the principle the concept that everything is in the hands of Allah. Nothing happens; nothing moves nothing takes place without the will of Allah. So definitely Allah is testing the Ummah by this disease. So if we start thinking about this it’s a wakeup call which we have to understand that things do happen on that large scale.

Allah definitely is sending a message to humanity that something is wrong. There is a lot of mistakes, wrong deeds which we had done in our past and still, we are doing the same and continuously are going against the teaching of the Quran and Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Allah never punishes people unless there is something that they have collectively done. Allah says in Quran: evil (sins and disobedience of Allah) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc), that Allah may make them taste a part of that which they have done in order that they may return (by repenting to Allah and begging His pardon). [30:41] Perhaps “they may returns” means Allah shows the Evil consequences of some of the acts of men in this world before the punishment of the hereafter so that they understand the reality, feel the error of their conjectures and turn to the righteous belief, which the Prophets of Allah have been presenting before man since the earliest times, and besides adopting there is no way of ordering human conduct on sound foundations. Hasan al Basri, the famous tabi’s he commended on this verse and he said: “because of their own sins Allah sends fitnah and faced down because what they had done, Allah sends down plagues and calamities.”

It is never too late to return to Allah. Allah can destroy everyone. This disease which is a punishment can be destruction for everyone and this is what every Muslim believes that this disease is a punishment from Allah.

Anything under this is a test from Allah and the outbreak of this disease is a wakeup call from Allah. Allah blessed us with so many things for so many years and now it’s time to beg for mercy from Allah for these bounties again. It’s time to sit down and ponder only a portion of our sins. Allah is giving another chance to the whole ummah before the day of resurrection, If we want this problem to be solved then all of us should turn to Allah. We need Allah and Allah doesn’t need us.
