I looked at him through the window in my room, Gazing at him walking all alone in the darkness that is surrounding him, the darkness that he has been living in all his life. It doesn’t matter to him the distance that he will be crossing and he doesn’t seem to care about how difficult it is for him to reach his destination. All what he cares about is answering the calls with its beautiful rhythm that is invading his ears. Yes, he may be lacking something but still it doesn’t mean that, to him, that world has come to an end. Looking at that man, walking alone with his stick makes me realize that even if we lose something so precious doesn’t mean that we should be ungrateful for all the other things that Allah has blessed us with.

He reminds me of “ibn um maktoom”, the Sahabee in our Beloved Prophet – Peace Be Upon Him’s – era, that did the same thing. Ibn Um maktoom traveled long distances to answer the same calls, it didn’t matter to him how hard it was to reach it, but what mattered to him is to answer the calls immediately.
These two men made me pity the men I see nowadays. The men that are blessed with what these two men lack, yet they do not bother to answer the calls. Not any calls, but the calls that differentiates the Muslims from the Kafir.
Just because Allah has taken away from them their eye sights didn’t stop them from going to the Masjid to perform Salat.
The blind man that lives by my house, not only goes to the masjid to perform salat, but to perform Azan (athan) itself. SubhanAllah.

 Listening to him calling the Muslims in my area makes me realize that there are a lot of males out there in this world but very few Men..

May Allah accept his good deeds, and the good deeds of all Muslims..
Ameen..

The fitna around us has been increasing day by day, and unfortunately everyone has been getting what they want through the path that Satan has drawn for them to follow. Even the ones with strong iman are slowly shifting back and forth from the right path towards the wrong. It’s not because they want to but because Satan has his ways. Satan’s whispers are very lethal, very poisoning and very evil. All what he wants from us, humans, is to disobey Allah, and unfortunately we are allowing him to play us like puppets. Satan has been controlling the minds, hearts and feelings of people. Whether they were Muslims or not, all what Satan wants to achieve is to simply drag us down to hell with him. 

(Iblis) said: “O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,- “Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace).” 

Surah Al Hijr (Habitation) : 39-40 

Satan has made a vow that he shall not leave us alone until we take the wrong paths, just like how he did with Adam and Eve, when he filled their ears with poisonous words convincing them to eat from the tree that Allah has told them not to eat from. 

People have been responding to Satan’s calls. If he tells them to wear tight clothes, they would follow him blindly. If he asks them to remove the Hijab, they would do that in fractions of a second, but what about Allah, the most Merciful, our Creator, the most Gracious. It has been mentioned in the Quran and by our Beloved Prophet – Peace be upon him – that we shouldn’t follow the steps of Satan. Yet you find people running hastily to fulfill Satan’s desires. It has been mentioned clearly in the Holy Quran that we should cover up properly yet people act as if they can’t read and go with what the Quran and sunnah disapproves. 

What is going on with the Muslims? 

What is going on with people? 

Is it too hard to cover up, to wear decent clothes and to be obedient to our parents? 

It is not too hard to follow the right path, all what it needs is insistence on following the right path. 

May Allah forgive all Muslims? 

Ameen.
