Allah Has Already Gives Us The Keys: When we read Quran with the heart of a true Muslim and a Momin, we will find that Allah SWT has already given us the keys of all goodness. Today we want dignity, victory, elevation, unity etc and the answer is very simple. Allah SWT has promised to give us all that we want and to take care of all our worries. He has promised to unite the hearts of believers and give them success in this life and the hereafter. All these promises are for the believers! Will Allah SWT give victory to the heedless ones? Will Allah be with the heedless ones? Will Allah take care about the affairs of the heedless ones? Meantime Allah SWT is warning us in the Quran that He will veil the heedless people and let them continue on their path until they destroy themselves. This destruction comes in the form of disgrace in this life and the hereafter. The disgrace of this world is to leave the person in the cyclone of duniya until it destroys the person and He wakes up in front of Allah SWT when it is too late. Another form of disgrace is for Allah SWT to give people a clear message and then make them blind from this message. He does this by snatching away their ability to comprehend and understand what Allah wants from them and by depriving them of the honor of carrying the message of Islam to humanity. Why? Love of duniya! One of our scholars said that people usually make tawba (repent) from all their sins except of loving duniya; because they never admit that they have duniya in their hearts. We invest in education, in a job, in savings, inthe decoration of our houses; how much do we invest in our grave, our jannah, and our meeting with our Lord? This is what our condition is today and there is no way out of our current situation of disgrace and heedlessness unless we beg Allah and make real efforts to live the true message of Islam which majority of us have forgotten. The following message from Allah SWT is a comprehensive account of our current situation: Say, Have you considered: if there came to you the punishment of Allah or there came to you the Hour - is it other than Allah you would invoke, if you should be truthful? No, it is Him [alone] you would invoke, and He would remove that for which you invoked Him if He willed, and you would forget what you associate [with Him]. And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us]. Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing. So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair. So the people that committed wrong were eliminated. And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Say, Have you considered: if Allah should take away your hearing and your sight and set a seal upon your hearts, which deity other than Allah could bring them [back] to you? Look how we diversify the verses; then they [still] turn away. Say, Have you considered: if the punishment of Allah should come to you unexpectedly or manifestly, will any be destroyed but the wrongdoing people? And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. So whoever believes and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. But those who deny Our verses - the punishment will touch them for their defiant disobedience. Say, [O Muhammad], I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me. Say, Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought? And warn by the Quran those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord - for them besides Him will be no protector and no intercessor - that they might become righteous. (Al-Anam 6: 40-51)
