The world is a global village; this discovery is just a recent phenomenon by the Scientist. I say this because most of the ‘advanced civilizations’ are ignorant of Africa as a continent. Their Atheist Scientist claim man originates from Ape. A claim that Religion debunk, this claim have been taught to all Medical student to the extent that to believe otherwise is akin to heresy.
To the people of Religion, the people of Faith, Man was deliberately created and to us especially, – Meaning the Muslims, Man is created for a purpose and that purpose is to worship His maker, his creator – in this instant Allah!
Meaning that life has meaning and it has purpose. Living a meaningful life is to have a life style that brings you closer to your Creator, while living a purposeful life is a life that is beneficial to humanity beginning from yourself, your family, neighborhood and the larger society.
Take into consideration the position of Religion with Adam and Hauwa as the progenitor of humankind, the position of Islam especially is that Humankind have been giving the responsibility to manage the Environment ( the earth, land and water, the resources contained in the earth e.t.c) , then the recent discovery of the scientist that the world is a global village is coming after the already stated position of Islam – that Humanity is one big family! Created by Allah, having human being – Adam a.s and Hauwa ( Eve) as the progenitor NOT Ape, Chimpanzee, or Monkey as the unbeliever are advocating and promoting.
When you take into consideration the valueless amoral tendencies being peddled around by atheist world over especially as it concerns exposure of women’s body, lesbians, homosexual, crude or crass capitalism and materialism; of course all of these connote a threat to decent family life. The abomination of the time is the boldness been exhibited by those that are suppose to cover their faces in shame but are coming out to propound same- sex relationship! What audacity. Of course Allah (s.w.t) does not guide someone that choose to go astray by choice
An African proverb in particular from the Yoruba Nation of the South Western Nigeria have a saying that goes like this: ‘ if you delay in catching the thief that enters your farm, the thief will turn round to accuse the owner of the farm of being a thief!’
What an irony but what is playing out on the social plain is like those that chose to be irresponsible seem to be telling the responsible ones are missing out in some action, which if you care to reflect it is those that lack solid family life that is missing in action.
This is the reason the world need Islam to safe it from the peddlers of disharmony, and open the eyes of the would-be ‘recruiter’ to option available to him – a solid family life comprising of legitimate father, married mother and having all the family like brother, sister, cousins and uncles as your point of reference, while grandparents are not consider as irritant!
What will be your lot when you are old or aged? Remember, what goes around comes around. How happy you will be if you have the little tots climbing on your lap, while you are out in the garden one of the little feet wanting to ‘play’ ball with Grand Pa or run a race with Grand Ma!
The Holy Qur’an having come to show humanity the Two Highways: the way to happiness and joy leading to Paradise and that of disobedience and sadness leading to hell fire ( may Allah save us from it – ameen). Mankind have been sufficiently equipped with knowledge and intelligence to be able to distinguish falsehood from truth, I humbly asked: how many are really making use of the common sense which some even said it is not common.
4:1. O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty toward Allah in Whom ye claim ( your rights ) of one another, and toward the wombs (that bare you ). Lo! Allah hath been a Watcher over you.
O Mankind- In this verse, the humanity is seen as an entity
An entity that need to be helped in order to save himself from
Extinction and perdition.
It covers both gender,
Whatever that will follow has to be of help to all
Be careful of your duty to your Lord- The first Commandment is
Your God my God is One God
That is the mantra of Islam – There is no God deserving of Worship except God ( Allah)
Whatever He has Commanded is Law
Regular prayer ( Salat)
Zakat, Hajj, Ramadan and goodness to parents
Why you must be mindful of your duty is that He Created you from One man, Adam (a.s); His wife from him (Adam) and the rest of humanity from the two.
What a geometric progression in terms of number and multiplication!
Be careful and mindful towards the womb that bore you!
The Womb is an entity by itself
It has a life of its own
Allah ( s.w.t ) has promised the Womb: ‘whosoever severe the ties with you, I, Allah will severe link with such person’ this is an Hadith of the Messenger ( s.a.w )
And whosever join the link Allah will be pleased with such person
This is what the womb demand from Allah. ( Sadaka Rasul)
Let’s now examine those that are committing Adultery, fornication, abortion, And the like, what do you think they are doing?
To take advantage of a woman
To commit rape
Aborting a pregnancy through inducement
Encouraging a Lady to abort pregnancy because you are not ready
Having multiple sexual partner
All the aforementioned tantamount to abuse of the Womb, whereas the Commandment is: Respect the Womb that bore you!
The beginning of any family life is hinged on how good a Lady is. Goodness in this sense has to do with piety, modesty, purity and bashfulness. When you link the position of a Woman to that of a Soil and you relate the position of a Man to that of the Seedling, it should occur to a discerning mind that there is need for a symbiotic relationship to happen for a good germination and good fruiting to take place.
The Womb of the woman is the Soil. The soil could be so misused to the extent that it could become a waste Land. What seed will germinate on a waste land. Yes, the seed could manage to germinate but stunted. If it manages to grow and that is if (?), what will the be the quality of the fruit, which in this case is the child? Yes, children could come from such a Womb, but what will be the mental, spiritual and moral disposition of such a child. All because the soil have been serially misused, abused and bartered.
That is what you do O Woman to yourself when you allow yourself to be used by men all in the name of pleasure, civilization, sociability, greed, ignorance, ‘body- no- be- wood’ mentality, etc.
Oh You Man, who derive pleasure in making a mess of young girls, granted that some are victims out of greed and avarice, majority became victim due to crass innocence, and folly. Whatever her situation might be, you are going to have a wife some day, what or which will you desire? A waste or misused Land or fertile and virgin Land?
What do you want to befall your sisters, daughters, nieces, and aunts. You have a mother, don’t you? You reside in her womb for free for 9 months – yes, a little less or a little more than 9 month, is it by damaging the Womb of other feminine gender you are going to repay her for her task? Think about it? If your thinking is correct, you may appreciate the ” essence of life” better than you do at the moment. That is the root of the matter. Here the advice again:
“1. O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty toward Allah in Whom ye claim ( your rights ) of one another, and toward the wombs (that bare you ). Lo! Allah hath been a Watcher over you. ”
The Man that engages in sex before marriage, masturbates could be likened to a farmer that throw always his seedling or sow it on waste land or scattered it around without purpose. Whatever becomes of his life and future generation will eventually be his kettle of fish. A word is enough for the wise.
I pray, fervently too that may this article touch your heart! Ameeeeeen!
