In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Fitna & eFitna
by Irshad Mahmood - Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Guard
yourselves against FITNA:
And guard yourselves against a chastisement (FITNA), which cannot fall exclusively on those of you who are wrong doers, and know that Allah is severe in punishment. (Al_Quraan_008.025)
Fitna
can come in any shape or form till Shaitaan is backing it
up. If it comes on cyber space (internet), it may be called eFitna.
Since on
cyber space (internet) Shaitaan has full control of it and can hack any
of our
emails and play with it, we must be very careful. We should not be
offensive to
the person, whose email has been hacked. Many people have been reported
that
their email were hacked, even sometimes computer have been hacked and
damaged
all the data.
Be
careful on downloading of any files, attachments if it has file
extension like .scr, .exe, .com,
.pif etc. Also be
careful from links in the email. Keep update your anti virus. You may need firewalls, which may help to protect from going to other
web sights, very helpful for restricting
kids.
For
Minor Controversial Issues: Leave it on Allah.
Say (O Muhammad Peace-Be-Upon-Him), Allah is best aware of their number. None knows them except a few. Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except with on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the sleepers. (Al_Quraan_018.022)
(So for any Minor Controversial Issues,
don’t argue a lot if you don’t have valid proofs.
Cyber Space (Internet) is not
reliable. So LEAVE it on Allah)
For
Major Controversial Issues:
And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own, their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth. And the fifth (oath) (should be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they tell a lie. (Al_Quraan_024.006-007)
But it
would avert the punishment from the
wife, if she bears witness four times (with an oath) by Allah, that
(her
husband) is telling a lie. And the fifth (oath) should be that she
solemnly
invokes the curse of Allah on herself if (her accuser) is telling the
truth.
(Al_Quraan_024.008-009)
(So
for any Major Controversial Issues,
don’t argue a lot if you don’t
have valid proofs. Cyber Space (Internet) is not reliable. So both
parties must
take oath by Allah four times that they are true and the fifth (oath)
(should
be) that they solemnly invoke the curse of Allah on themselves if they
tell a
lie. Finally, LEAVE it on Allah)
For
those who create Fitna
Disaster
comes to disbeliever:
As for those who disbelieve, disaster cease to strike them because of what their (ill) deeds, or it settle near their home until the threat of Allah come to pass. (Al_Quraan_013.031)
Disaster
may come to you in different shapes. If the punishment is for
an individual then
it may come as an accident or fire or prolong disease
including Cancer etc.
If the punishment is for a group of people or nation,
it may come as Earthquake,
Cyclone, Hurricane, Tornado, Flood, Fire (including Wild
Fire), Drought, Famine and Snow Storm etc.
Change
yourself NOW
Before it gets Too LATE:
Verily
Allah will never change the
condition of a people until they (first) change
it themselves. [Al_Quraan_013.011]
And if you turn away, Allah
will exchange you for some another people, and they will not
be like you. [Al_Quraan_047.038]
As
for those who Divide
their Religion and break
up
into Sects, thou
hast NO part in them in
the least: their affair
is with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they
did." [Holy
Quraan 6: 159]
If
you DIFFER
(Faith,
Salaat, Sayaam,
Zakaat, etc.) in anything amongst
yourself, then REFER to Allah and his Messenger, if you really believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for
determinations. [Al_Quraan_004.059]
Desiring
a religion other than what Allah has revealed:
O ye who believe! Whoso of
you becomes a renegade from his religion, (know that in
his stead) Allah
will bring a people whom He loves and who
love Him, humble
toward believers, stern toward disbelievers, striving in the way of
Allah and
fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such is the grace of Allah, which
He gives
unto whom He will. Allah is All Embracing, All Knowing. [Al_Quraan_005.054]
If
anyone desires a religion OTHER than Islaam
(Submission to Allah), NEVER will it be accepted
of him: and in the
Hereafter he will be in the rank of those who have LOST (their selves in
the hell of fire). [Al_Quraan_003.085]
Call yourself Muslims: (No Shiaa no
Sunnee, Islaam is Unity)
And strive for Allah with the endeavor, which
is His
(Allah’s) right. He (Allah) has chosen you and has imposed no
difficulties
(hardship) on you in religion. It is the faith of your father Abraham
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him)
(is yours). It
is He (Allah) Who named you Muslims, both before and
in this (Scripture), that the Messenger may be
witness against you,
and that you may be witness against mankind. So establish regular
Prayer
(Worship), pay the poor due (Charity), and hold fast to Allah. He
(Allah) is
your Protecting Friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper. [Al_Quraan_022.078]
(Don’t
Call yourself Shiaa, Sunnee,
Berelvee, Deubandee, Ahle-Hadees etc, Just call yourself Muslims, since Allah named you as
Muslims)
May Allah Protect us from all kind
of FITNA. AMEEN.
