Amr Khaled Until they change themselves... Step 1: Tadaru Tadaru is a term that means exaggerated humility and humbleness caused by despair and is expressed towards a persons final resort. As Imam Ahmed Ibn Hambal put it: Imagine a man drowning in the middle of the sea, all he has is a piece of wood hes clinging onto. He is getting weaker and weaker and the salty waves are pulling him closer to death. Imagine him with his eager eyes looking desperately at the sky crying out loud O Lord, O Lord!!! Imagine how desperate he is and how sincere he is asking for Allahs help. That is tadaru or humility in front of Allah. Allah teaches us in the Quran that tadaru is a form of worship a believer uses during emergencies and crises. It requires a person to remove the veils of arrogance and ego covering his or her heart. It implies sincere begging to the Lord of the Worlds. It demonstrates that a person has realized how weak he is and how Powerful our Lord is. Sometimes when Allah sees that His servants are becoming distracted with this worldly life and have strayed from the Straight Path, He puts them in a severe situation so that they realize their weakness and run back to Allah for protection. Therefore calamities falling upon Muslims are to make them wake up and turn back to Allah. We must be intelligent enough to understand these messages and act according to them
