Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Everyone..??
The ever changing trend of fashion, music and level of eagerness towards being 'accepted' in a group, society and the world at large has become so profound that it resulted in an adverse affect in the nation we live in. In a community, you are either a leader or a follower and when you are the leader, you will have a bigger role to play. The follower would normally follow instructions..
There will always be that someone who will be "in charge" of something. You could be a member of a tribe, triad or just a hype. Whatever it is, this leader will be responsible for its member's actions whether it be good or bad. The more subordinates you have, the popular but riskier you will be. In Islam, we follow our beloved Prophet Muhammad's steps as much as we can as he is our leader that will lead us to jannah. But for those who does not see Islam as a systematic and a properly assembled vehicle of life, even though these people are muslims, will most likely search for other venues to satisfy their greed, needs and heeds.
These venues are religions besides Islam, i.e. christianity, buddhism, jew and so on. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala had reminded His followers countless times NOT to follow things which are not prescribed within the teachings / laws of Islam because if you do, you will be doomed. In the Qur'an:
O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors; they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. [5: 51]
In another verse Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala mentioned in the Qur'an:
Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah, that is the (only) Guidance," wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor Helper against Allah. [2: 120]
Our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam stated in one of his hadeeth about how muslims should act towards the things which are "celebrated" by christians, jews and so on.
The one who imitates people other than us (i.e., in faith) is not from us. Do not imitate the Jews or the Christians” (Tirmithi). He who imitates a people will be from among them (on the Day of Judgement).” (Abu Daawood)
Clearly, muslims are being pulled into believing that there is other religion besides Islam but very slowly and sneaky. Otherwise, we won't see any "trees" being planted here and there, we won't see fake rain dears and fake snows. And we won't see any muslim kids /family so eager to be taken to "snowland" and so on and so forth. [To reflect what was said in the beginning of this article]. Everyone is trying their 'best' to fit in and get into the 'thrills and frills'.
The irony about this is that we don't see any decoration for any Aidil Adha celebration. None. The day when prophet Ibrahim a.s showed his willingness and obedience towards Allah Ta'ala to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail a.s just did not seem to make any muslims impress or even show any sympathy, except for some.
Perhaps, not many muslims realize the well-thought out strategy being deviced by non-muslims. And they (non-muslims) will not be happy until they have us all deviated from Islam. They all seemed to be enjoying their moments looking at muslims falling into their traps. Being paranoid, no! This is the harsh truth outside your window pane.
The words used should be fairly understood by a normal human and it does not take a scientist or a theorist to discover the hidden meaning of what it is being conveyed here. Its not that we need to adhere to what Allah and The Apostle had reminded us but we HAVE to follow them. Allah knows best!!
