THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ar-Raaba'a, 4th day of Zul Hijjah (Wednesday, 15th August 2018). ENCOURAGING GOOD AND FORBIDDEN EVIL IS ALL WE NEED TO START DOING IF WE WANT ALLAH TO HELP US. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's look through our communities today, can we be proud of having majority good practising brothers and sisters? Definitely not, majority of our parents, brothers and sisters excuse me to say, have turned fornicators, thieves, gamblers, soothsayers etc. Majority of our brothers and sisters are having children or pregnancies outside of marriage. You hardly find a virgin girl or a holy brother today to marry each other yaa ALLAH. Marriage is now expensive to bear, nothing like sunnah marriages any more, bid'a or innovational marriages dominate now making zina (fornication) cheap. With all these evil going on, how do we get the blessings or guidance of ALLAH?. It is clear in Quran and authentic hadith that if these kind of evil becomes open and real and we dont speak against it and find a way of stopping it then ALLAH will humilate us in dunya and in the hereafter will be worse for us and that's all what we are witnessing today within this Ummah of the Prophet around the world. Our Muslim brothers and sisters are openly fornicating with the kuffar bcs we've lost our eemaan and lacking knowledge of Islam. The difficulties in life today is as a results of our failure to stop these evil deeds. We fear to speak and forbid these evil acts in our communities, we dont advice each other starting from our own homes, most of our parents are gamblers, fornicators or adulterers how can they stop their children? If you are one of them then please fear ALLAH bcs you maybe next to visit the grave. Lets avoid using these social networks for unnecessary debates about shariah issues and start cleansing our own homes and communities about the dangers of our way of life today. Muslims at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), his Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet) and the Salaf (righteous predecessors) respected this obligation and carried it out in the best manner. Certainly, the later generations desperately need this obligation to be fulfilled more than the first ones due to prevalence of ignorance, lack of knowledge and people’s negligence of this mandatory matter. Currently, the matter has become more serious and dangerous since evil, corruption and propagators of falsehood prevail to an unbelievable extent, against the scarcity of callers to goodness in most countries. Therefore, ALLAH (Glorified be HE) ordered and urged Muslims to enjoin good and forbid evil, giving it precedence over eemaan in the Ayah (Qur’anic verse) of Surah Al-Imran, which reads: You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet) and his Sunnah] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind It means that the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the best nation in the sight of ALLAH. We must therefore act now starting from our own homes, start uniting the family and arrange daily meeting at least even if 20 minutes in a sitting to advice each other and find a way of forbidden the evil bcs if persuasion fails force must be applied with rules by each head of the family. We ask ALLAH to protect us and our offspring from these evil acts and aid us to be able to encourage each other to goodness and forbid each other from these evil acts. Aameen.
