RUN TO THE PROPHET (SAW): Without a doubt, what has happened today in Peshawar is a haunting event and a terrible, terrible tragedy. I pray that may Allah have mercy on us as individuals and as a nation. Truly these are times of great fitnah! I advise myself and all my dear brothers and sisters that do not let shaytan deceive you in these times. I realize that the natural response people have is to get glued to their TV screens, read every newspaper and have extended discussions over the coffee table whenever great difficulties befall us; but I urge you not to get distracted, rather, run to the Messenger of Allah (SAW). The Prophet (SAW) said, “Worship in the time of ‘harj’ is like making hijrah towards me.” [Muslim, 2948] The scholars explained harj as being mass killings, great fitnah and the people’s affairs becoming chaotic. So increase in your worship, make more dua, make more taubah, make more zikr, read more Quran, weep before your Lord, seek repentance for your sins, promise to change your ways of disobedience to that of obedience of Allah. In short, run to the Prophet (SAW).
