Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam
ala Ashraful MBIA. Will mursaleen say that our Mowlana Where have
you been at Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. While early he
was happy with Selim, the Sleeman Kathira Assalamu alaykum
Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh My name is Husain Majidi you in the first
verse of sorbitol Ambia. Allah subhanho wa Taala warns a katana
but a nasty Hey Saba home wa homefield. Let's let him Murray
dawn. Their reckoning has drawn near for humanity, yet they turn
away in heedlessness. Many of our scholars, both contemporary as
well as those of the past have warned that we are well into the
latter days, as many of the lesser signs have already appeared. We
are all aware of the widespread evil heedlessness and corruption
found throughout the world. And many of us know that the
continuous decline of our species into unprecedented levels of
depravity and Deviance are all indications that if we don't hold
firm to the rope of Allah subhanaw taala we will find ourselves in
unimaginable peril. In a hadith reported in the Sahara Bay mammoth
Tirmidhi according to say naughty ibn Abi Taalib Radi Allahu Allah
and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam warned that tribulations
would befall humanity if the following signs occurred when any
gain is shared out only among the rich with no benefit to the poor,
when a trust becomes a means of making a profit. When pings a cat
becomes a burden, when a man obeys his wife and disobeyed his mother,
and treats his friend kindly while shunning his father, when voices
are raised in the mosques, when the leader of a people is the
worst of them, when people treat a man with respect because they fear
some evil he may do when much wine is drunk, when men wear silk, when
female singers and musical instruments become popular, and
when the last ones of this old man curse the first ones,
as these along with other lesser signs continue to appear and
increase, humanity will eventually witness the Greater Signs of the
hour, among which include the battle between the gel and say
that isa alayhi salam, preceded by other frightful and horrific
scenes. Only Allah subhanaw taala knows when or how those events
will unfold. Yet we are repeatedly warned to anticipate them, protect
our hearts and homes from succumbing to the mounting evils
and temptations and seek continuous protection and ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada from the impending darkness.
One of the many evils of the modern era is the deliberate and
version of good and evil, truth and falsehood and virtue advice.
Throughout much of the Western world, in nearly every area of
human society, from public to private, social to economic and
philosophical to political, there is an obvious erosion of basic
human decency, morality, tradition, and universally
accepted values, principles and ethics that span cultures and
religions worldwide, hard at work to destroy the human species one
soul at a time, our strong demonic forces that promote such vices as
sexual deviance and promiscuity, rampant drug and alcohol use,
violence and murder, and the proliferation of * and
other contraband. Due to their relentless efforts to spread
corruption subvert family and religion, and undermine law and
order. We see virtues such as chastity, honest work, integrity,
and civil obedience quickly disappearing in many parts of the
world. For Muslims who are familiar with the countless
traditions the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam left behind about
the End of Times, the widespread turmoil unfolding in real time all
over the world isn't surprising. In fact, not only did our prophets
have a lot and said and predicted these and many other horrifying
signs, with shockingly accurate descriptions, but tragically, much
of what he predicted is readily found in every major city and
country today, and increasingly, throughout the Muslim world. For
example, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam warned, among the
signs of the hour are the reduction of knowledge, the
prevalence of ignorance, the prevalence of adultery, and the
abundance of women and scarcity of men, such that 50 women will be
maintained by a single man. In another narration, he sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, time will pass rapidly, knowledge will be
withdrawn. tribulations will prevail. Greed will be cast in
Two hearts. And there will be many upheavals. The Companions asked
what is upheaval? He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam responded, it is
killing. The messenger of allah sallallahu Sallam also said, the
Hour will not be established until people mate with each other on the
road as if they were donkeys. A companion asked, Will it really
happen? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied, Yes, it
will truly happen.
And yet in another Hadith, the prophesy centum said, my nation
will be afflicted by the diseases of the former nations, the
Companions asked, or messenger of Allah, what are the diseases of
the former nations? And he still Allah why they have said I'm
answered. Excessive amusement, ingratitude, disunity, competition
for worldly gain, hatred, and greed, until there's transgression
followed by upheaval.
The beloved sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also shared signs
specifically related to children and marriage toward the latter
days that are undeniably ominous and incredibly worrisome. He
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Indeed, among the signs of the
hour, is that the child will be angry. He said, while it was sort
of also said, There will come a time when a man will divorce a
woman and she will remain with him while divorced. They are
adulterers, as long as they stay together. He also said that the
children of adultery will increase in numbers. And he said in another
narration, how will you be if your youth are immoral? Your women are
tyrannical, and your ignorance increases, and the companions
said, and this will happen a messenger of Allah, he replied,
and worse than that, these Hadith reveal the grave consequences
faced by many today, who enslaved by their less, not only engage in
premarital relationships and illicit *, but go on to conceive
children out of wedlock, and either deny them the right to live
and abort them, or bring them into the world only to abuse and or
neglect them. It goes without saying that such men and women are
morally bankrupt, irresponsible and selfish, and the innocent
children born to them who suffer at their hands are often destined
to live in anger, and grow into adults full of rage. The
implications of untold numbers of angry children roaming about
society and the world at large, are devastating, to say the least,
and increasingly becoming a threat humanity can no longer afford to
ignore.
Aside from children born out of marriage, who account for 40% of
the population in the US alone. Many children today are angry
because despite their parents being married and living in the
same household, they are still often neglected and ignored.
According to the National Children's Alliance in 2021 alone,
it was reported that an estimated 600,000 children were abused and
or neglected. And tragically in substantiated child abuse cases
77% of children were victimized by a parent. According to the CDC
from 2007 through 2021. suicide rates among young people ages 10
to 24, increased by 62%. From 2014 to 2021. Homicide rates rose by
60%. The situation is so grim that in October 2021, health care
professionals declared a national emergency in Child Mental Health.
When parents prioritize the pursuit of material wealth, status
or power, and give little value to the rights and responsibilities of
parenting, and deny their children the love and attention they are do
is this unprecedented level of mental health crises among our
children any surprise. Furthermore, when young girls and
women are incentivized to delay marriage, for the sake of their
careers, and when the society around them clamors together to
applaud their refusal to settle down or sacrifice their own
happiness for marriage and family. Then is it any wonder why so many
young women are now refusing to marry or even have children, or
even worse, settling for a new motherhood agreement which entails
the bare minimum of birthing children and then outsourcing a
considerable portion of their mothering duties to nannies and or
daycare centers, so that they can pursue their own dreams and
wishes. Interestingly enough, even this impulse for women to leave
their young children behind with others to pursue their careers or
contribute to a dual income household, in order to maintain a
certain lifestyle is something that our Prophet sallallahu Sallam
warned us about, as yet another sign of the End of Time. He
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, the Hour will not come until both
the wife and husband work in the marketplace. The great lesson here
is that anyone who intends to marry and have children,
especially women who are entrusted by God as their primary caretakers
should think long and hard about what they are, and aren't willing
to give up in order to ensure that they are present in their
children's lives, and that they will not just hand them over to
strangers to raise or simply neglect them altogether. Sadly,
far too many children experience emotional neglect due to parents
who may be at home but are too busy or distracted by their
phones, social media, television, etc. to really connect or bond
with them in a meaningful way. The signs of the end of time are many,
and it is undeniable that our species is already in the decline
of the latter days. We cannot however, despair or succumb to
panic and paranoia. Rather, we must be people of truth, justice,
forbearance, and most of all God consciousness. In this blessed
month of reveal a while, we should read and heed the signs that our
beloved sallallahu alayhi wa sallam warned us about, and make
sure we do not carry the traits and qualities of those who are
heedless, forgetful and sinful, spiraling toward ruin.
Furthermore, we should take ourselves into account and make
sure that our choices and decisions, especially those that
involve the rights and lives of others in our care, like innocent
children, and elderly relatives, who deserve love and attention,
not abuse or neglect, are based on the principles and values of our
beautiful faith, and never by political, philosophical, or
cultural notions, often motivated by vacuous trends and dangerous
ideologies. Any Muslim who takes his or her faith seriously
understands that submitting to God, even against oneself must
always be our first priority, then emulating the beautiful character
and life of our beloved. So Allahu alayhi wa sallam followed by
serving one's family, friends and community at large. Of all the
false gods that humans worship in lieu of God, the ego or self is
the worst and most delusional. For this reason, Allah subhanho wa
Taala warns us, or ADA moneta, Elijah who Hawa? Have you not seen
the one who took his desire as His deity? Or do you think that most
of them listen or understand, they are only like cattle, no more than
that they are a stray from the right way. Among the many ways of
celebrating the beloved sallallahu alayhi wasallam. In this blessed
month of rubeola. Well, is studying his sera emulating his
noble character, obeying His commands and heating his warnings.
While most of us are consumed by the challenges of life and
struggling against our own egos and desires, the prophets entire
existence is a manifestation of self sacrifice and love for us.
His every action, every hardship, every effort, every tear, shed and
every word uttered, whether it was a glad tiding, or a warning was
delivered perfectly and completely due to his care and concern for
us. He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wanted us to know the inward and
outward evils of this abode, to protect us from harm. He said,
Allah Allah said, I wanted us to recognize the symptoms of
diseases, spiritual and social, to prevent us from succumbing to
them. And above all, he wanted to protect us from the greatest evils
within ourselves. And that's why he salatu salam gave us the signs
of the end of time with such great detail. He wanted to make sure
that we're not among those people whose pursuit of the dunya is more
important than raising their children, or who abandon their
parents care for their spouses attention, or who raised their
voices in the masjid, or who curse other Muslims with impunity. He
said hello, it was said and wanted us to wake up from our hafla
heedlessness before it's too late, and to act appropriately and
accordingly, thus to celebrate him
rightfully is to obey Him, praise him, find comfort in his glad
tidings and take seriously his warnings. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala guide us all to worship Him without any partners inward or
outward. And may we follow the best of creation some Allahu Allah
was set up this month and every month until we depart from this
world, and are reunited with him in the next, Amin, Giselle Qumulo
