Assalamu Alaykum Warah Matullahi Wabarakatuhu The past several days we have had various posts on the Palestentian situation and what we can do as an Ummah. Emotions are flared and this is normal, as a true Muslim should feel intense pain at the condition of Muslims. The oppression of Muslims have reached and deplorable levels. Mawlana Ameen saheb Hafizahullah from Ummah Welfare Trust said the Ummah is facing catastrophic challenges and we should make fervent duaa for Khayr and Aafiyah. UWT are providing Iftaar packs for seventeen countries which in itself is a tip of an iceberg. Muslims are being forced to defend themselves in the month of Ramadhan. Muslims in China are forced to break their roza. All over the world Muslims are oppressed. Even in Europe, Americas, and other so called free countries, Muslims are surrounded, threatened, accusations levelled against our schools, Masjids etc. Certainly it is a dark period but there is hope and it on only in the Protection of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. The question is, what can we do about our grave state in affairs? 1. No doubt that the first thing we must do, is to look to ourselves, admit our many short comings and make a sincere tawbah and encourage others to do so too. Abdullah bin Masood [رضى الله عنه] said, “The believer regards his sin as if he were sitting beneath a mountain which he fears may fall on him; whereas the sinner regards his sin as if a fly lands on his nose and he wipes it away.” [Mishkat and Sahih Bukhari] Allah says in the Quran Majeed يايها الذين امنوا توبوا الى الله توبة نصوحا “O you, who believe, turn towards Allah with sincere repentance…” [Surah Al-Tahreem 66:8] Make tawbah ourselves and encourage others to make tawbah. We must have sincere regret in spending our lives disobeying Allah SWT and ask Allah to forgive while making plans to extricate ourselves from all those things that cause his Anger. Lets make a conscious effort to stay away from Allahs disobedience and strictly adhere to the Sunnah of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam. 2. There are many weird and fangled things we can do for Muslims no doubt someone will set trends on social media. Thats fine but lets connect to Allah SWT. Let us make effort to pray Salaah with concentration and devotion and make heartfelt duas to Allah SWT. Duas with Yaqeen is our real weapon. 3. Connect to the Ulamaa and make an effort to change ourselves. Take part in the effort of Dawah and meet the Muslims for the sake of deen. We will meet people took all walks of life and we can gauge the level of deen and realise how much effort we need to make on each other to bring the true deen in our lives. 3. Contribute according to your means to assist the poor, weak and oppressed through those organisations who are dedicated and Sincerely working to alleviate the suffering of Muslims. I wholeheartedly recommend uwt.org though there are many other such organisations or persons who are also doing great work. May Allah grant me tawfique first thing to practice what I have said, as I am the weakest of all. Please please make lots of duas for the Ummat of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam especially the blessed moments of Ramadhan. Request4Duas
