News From The Future
Wouldn't it be awesome if we knew how our life will be like? Who will we end up with; How many kids we will have; What house we will be living in; Will we be rich or poor; will we be alive to see Prophet Isa (Jesus) descended from above; Are we going to hell or are we going to heaven? Will we have lions as pets or will chimpanzees become superiors of men; what time and what time our death be and all sorts of questions we all would normally ask.
Well, to tell you the truth, all questions cannot all be answered because if people knew their time of death, everyone would go banana and act like there is no God. If people knew if they will be rich in the future, they would get laziER. If we knew monkeys will be our bosses, we will kill 'em all. Meaning, We all will be happily running naked without being bothered. Don't get it? Imagined you received a letter from an anonymous, no name no country, only stating "YOU WILL DIE 18 FEBRUARY 2034". Thats it! Would you believe it?
The point is, if someone knew if he or she was going to die tomorrow and believed that there IS such a thing a day of punishment and reward, he or she would care less of eating, care less about dieting, care less about uploading pictures, accepting friends requests, replying emails, approving testimonials, updating blogs in social networking services such as tagged and other social networking services. Instead, he or she would be begging for Allah's forgiveness, repenting and crying, praying that he or she would be tagged as one of the member's of heaven.
It would be a totally different case for atheists who do not believe that there is such a thing a god, life after death and such. If they knew they were going to die, they would "score" as many as they can, drink as much as they can and eat all they can until they actually die from suffocation. Dream come true innit?
But where will the FUN be if we actually knew what's actually going to happen in the future? Another example would be, if we knew we were going to get married with a beautiful pious women or with a handsome man on a horse with a sword in his hand, we probably wouldn't even bothered to KEEP UP with our current condition. That's when we start eating and munching until we grow fat, unwashed, unshaved and unproductive. So smelly that when people passed by, they would pass out from the body odour.
So, trust me, fortune tellers, daily horoscopes, palm readers and the such aren't real. They are all lies and the people who makes money out of them will be burn in hell. If we believed even for a second that their predictions were true, then we may fall into shirk (polytheism). This is not a forgivable sin and we ask for Allah guidance and protection against shirk.
With all the hanky panky and all sorts of dogmas being spread, we wouldn't know anymore what to believe. People now are more confused than ever because our minds are receiving and interpreting different signals from different sources. BUT there are 2 sources that we can still rely on. The two sources which many try to condemn lately. The Qur'an and Hadeeth. We can only reply on these two sources and only then we will be safe.
The Qur'an brought down to our beloved Prophet Muhammad through Angel Gabriel was meant to give humans hopes, reminders and warnings of how bleak our future will be like if we ever decided to leave islam or if humans decided to create another god besides Allah and vice versa. The Qur'an also contains news of the future. Such as the fate of hypocrites / infidels (for pretentious muslims), atheists, christians, jews, buddhist and such in hell. As well as sudden deaths. That is when we realized how much time we've wasted in searching of gold, glory and fame.
Prophet Muhammad hadeeth is no different. It compliments the Qur'an and gives us a better understanding of one verse or surah. But care needs to be taken when reading a hadeeth. It needs to be genuine and we need to look at its nature and who it was heard from. Because, there will always be those who will manipulate sayings fo the Prophet. Why? Because, we all know people tend to exaggerate. What fun a news be if there was no action? Nobody wants to hear lame headlines such as "EGG FOUND IN NEST". Instead, we all would love to hear and rad about"WHAT BELIEVED TO BE DINOSAUR'S EGG FOUND IN ABANDONED NEST", I hope you all catch my drift! Allah knows EVERYTHING!
