ISLAM PROVIDES ULTIMATE SAFETY
All praises are due to Alláh, Who is Most Wise and Able to do all things. He sent down the Book to His slave so that mankind may contemplate its Ayat. I hereby testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Alláh, Alone without partners, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Alláh the Exalted sent His Messenger Muhammad(pbuh) with guidance and the religion of truth to all mankind as a Bringer of glad tidings, Warner, Caller to Alláh by His Permission and a Lamp that spreads light. Before Alláh sent Muhammad(pbuh), the son of Abdullah, as His Honorable Prophet and as the awaited leader, reformer and savior by Allah’s permission, mankind was engulfed in Kufr (disbelief) and misguidance. They lived in ignorance and darkness, with confusion and disorder being so rampant and prevalent that truth was not established. There was no guidance being followed or implemented. There was no righteous leader to follow nor a reformer to call and impress the people with his call and cause. Alláh said:
It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad(pbuh)) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikún (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Alláh) hate(it).” (9:33)
Muhammad(pbuh) was the awaited savior and the longed for reformer who, by Allah’s Leave, guided mankind away from misguidance, saved them from ignorance and called them to Faith, brotherhood and worshipping the One True Lord of all that exists. The Prophet’s Message was, still is and will always be full of truth, guidance, reform, reconstruction and true freedom. He was sent at a time when the hearts were thirsty for the truth, longing for a way out of darkness to light, so as to remove the thick veil of misguidance that had engulfed them. When Muhammad(pbuh) was sent, there came the awaited reformer who brought peace and tranquility with Allah’s Help. Hence, people rushed to embrace the Faith, enter the garden of Islam and accept Allah’s religion in great numbers.
The hearts of so many people were opened and felt comfortable when there came to them pure guidance from Alláh and the truth that cannot be corrupted or spoiled by evil. They adhered to the Message that came to them and followed the Prophet(pbuh) whom Alláh sent to deliver them to safety; they loved and helped him as much as they could and were his aids in Jihad and while calling to his Message. On their shoulders the battles and conquests of Islam were waged against the party of infidels, the group of misguidance and the helpers of the devil.
They gave up their lives in the Cause of Alláh, Whom they believed in His Oneness, followed the light that He revealed to them and the Prophet(pbuh) whom He sent.
“Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad(pbuh)) as a witness, as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a warner. In order that you (O mankind) may believe in Alláh and His Messenger (pbuh), and that you assist and honor him (pbuh), and (that you) glorify (Alláhs) praises morning and afternoon.” (48:8)
Dear Muslims! Islam is Alláh’s light that dissipated the darkness of this life and rose over the horizons of this world. It is the right religion that filled empty hearts with Faith and brought life to them with certainty and sincerity. It is the eternal call that carries the Message of reform, emancipation and vitality in all places and time frames.
Islam is the eternal Message because it is Alláh’s religion and way that He ordained. Islam is Alláhs revelation and wisdom.
“[Our Sibghah (religion) is] the Sibghah (religion) of Alláh (Islam) and which Sibghah (religion) can be better than Alláhs? And we are His worshippers.” (2:138)
And:
“And who is better in judgement than Alláh for a people who have firm Faith.” (5:50)
Where are those who are certain that Islam is Alláhs Sibghah (religion) that contains His wisdom; those who believe that the Qur’án is Alláhs revealed Word, then adhere by and hold to His judgment and decisions? Where are those who take guidance from the Qur’án and implement its righteous commandments, perfect rulings, honorable Law and call of guidance and reform?
“Verily, this Qurán guides to that which is most just and right.” (17:9)
“And verily, this is My straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His path.” (6: 153)
And:
“And who is better in speech than he who invites (men) to Alláhs (Islámic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: “I am one of the Muslims.” (41:33)
Know that Alláh has sent down Islam to be the perfect healer for all ills of this life and the cure that endows mankind with immunity from wickedness, trials in life and religion and sin. Islam is still carrying its reforming mission of guidance until the present time, delivering a call that is unsurpassed or rivaled. Islam dissipates disarray, injustice and mischief and establishes guidance, justice, peace, stability, brotherhood, coherence and unity.
Muslims, in the present times, are in desperate need of adhering to Islam’s call and holding to the guidance of the Qur’án. They have fallen prey to feebleness, weaknesses, confusion, misguidance, sin and following lusts and desires. Their only safety and immunity is through the Islam that carne to them with Muhammad(pbuh).
How can Muslims fall into misguidance when they have Allah’s Book of which they recite its Áyat, and the Sunnah of their Messenger(pbuh), which explains Allah’s Áyat to them? How can Muslims even complain that their situation is unbearable and their livelihood is full of confusion and troubles, when they have the healer before their hands containing the wisdom of the All-Knower, Well-Acquainted with all things? In it, they will find all that they need to correct their life and Hereafter affairs, as well as earning might, a good life and tranquility.
I hereby declare with sincerity to Alláh’s Face, and to fulfill the mission and duty that I have towards delivering the Prophet’s Message: that Alláh’s Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger are the plain truth that never contains or leads to misguidance. The Qurán and Sunnah are the certainty that is never mixed with doubt, the light that eradicates darkness and the correct guidance that repels misguidance and prevents loss and failure for all of mankind.
Muslims will never earn what is good for them, acquire Alláh’s help and victory, or live a good, tranquil life until, and unless, they revert to Islam and adhere by Alláhs Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger(pbuh). The Prophet(pbuh) has said the truth when he declared:
“I have left with you what will save you from misguidance, as long as you adhere to them: the Book of Alláh and my Sunnah. Have I conveyed (the Message)? O Alláh, be my Witness.”
I ask Alláh to make the Noble Qur’án a blessing for us. I say this and ask Alláh to forgive me, you and the rest of the Muslims from every error. Invoke Him for forgiveness, for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
