Discipline in Islaam
By Irshad Mahmood - Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Discipline
is a key factor for the Success of a Nations or society. Generally it
is said that if you want to see the culture of a society or nation, see
their Traffic. If people are Driving Sober, then that society may be
very good, BUT if the people are breaking the Discipline and laws of
Driving, then surely the people of that nation or society are not Sober.The Power of Discipline:To
see the power of Discipline, you need to see the Parade (March Past) of
the Army of a socialized country. BUT they don't Parade on any bridge,
since their Parade are so synchronized that they may create an enormous
power, which could collapse a Bridge.The Power of a Religion:The
key factor of any Religion to be Powerful is the Global Worshipping
Method. We need to correct our Worshipping Method immediately, without
any delay. You hear it or read it, that is it. Now it is between you
and Allah. Also you need to invite others as well.As
for those who Divide their Religion and break up into Sects, thou hast
NO part (Not Muslim any More) in them in the least: their affair is
with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they
did, (Al_Quraan_006:159).If
you DIFFER in anything (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc.)
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).Weather
you believe or not, our Foundation (Worshipping Method) is widely
divided into several sects. Not only every group, believing on, that
they are right, BUT every person practically believe that he is right,
and perfect, so he is acting accordingly.Allah wants us to start Obeying him IMMEDIATELY so Don’t Delay:And
(remember, O children of Israel) when We made a covenant with you and
caused the Mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We
have given you, and remember that which is therein, that ye may ward
off (evil), (Al_Quraan_002.063).As
we can see, now a days more and more record breaking disasters are
coming to the land, which may be an alarm to the human, so below are my
advice to Muslims:Global Worshipping Method:Allah
wants us to come towards One Worshipping Method IMMEDIATELY so Don’t
Delay, since Record Breaking Disasters are increasing:And
(remember, O children of Israel) when We made a covenant with you and
caused the Mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We
have given you, and remember that which is therein, that ye may ward
off (evil), (Al_Quraan_002.063).Generally Muslims agree that Islaam spread from Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة) and Madinah Munawarah to the rest of the world. BUT practically is different.If
you want to build a very tall building, you must first build its
foundation accordingly. Foundation is the most important part of
everything. Worshipping Method, specially, Salaat is the main
foundation of Islaam.Weather
you believe or not, our Foundation (Worshipping Method) is widely
divided into several sects. Not only every group, believing on, that
they are right, BUT every person practically believe that he is right,
and perfect, so he is acting accordingly.Blind Faith:When
they are told to follow the (Revelation) that has sent down, they say:
nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following).
What if it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing)
Fire, (Al_Quraan_031.021)?Think
again, why we Muslims are so divided and who is taking benefits from it
and destroying us, one group at a time and who knows next will be
yours. It is only the concept that I am right. Islaam spread from
Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة) to the rest of the world and not the other way.Take
an example, if a new person becomes Muslim, from north west (ALASKA,
USA) or south west (Argentina) or North East(Japan) or South East (New
Zealand or Australia), What method of worship he should follow???. Why we are creating so many confusions to new Muslims??? When will we open our eyes???In
India, Pakistan, and Iran we have Shia, Brelwee, Dewbandi, Ahle-Hadees
and much more. Every group saying they are really following Quraan and
Sunnah and every group is giving clear reference from Quraan and
Hadiths.Where should these new Muslims go to learn the method of worshiping, India, Pakistan, or Iran?My suggestion will be to go to Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة), the Center of the World Land wise and obviously the Center of Islaam.I
believe that Allah has to keep the religion Islaam till the day of
judgment and there will be no new religion. I also believe that Allah
is one, Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) is one, Quraan is one and so
the worshiping method is one.Should
we unite under one methodology for all Worships, for the Unity of
Muslim. Can we do little sacrifice for the unity of Muslim. Regarding
Worshiping Method, can we follow recent Imaam Kabaa, eventually
following one of the four Imaam and of course following the Quraan, for
the Unity of Muslim? Is there anything wrong in it? If you are not
coming to this unity, may be then you are the main problem we are
facing in Uniting the Muslim Ummah, if there is nothing wrong on this
unity.According
to your methodology, will the followers of Imaam Hambali go to hell? If
not, why don’t you join to follow Imaam Hambali for the Perfect Unity
of Muslim Ummah. This is the key point on Uniting Muslim Ummah.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).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)Non-Practicing Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).
None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_040.004).
