The Metaphysical laws in the Qur'an
Remembering the Metaphysical laws in the Qur'an
Fatima
Barkatullah
We can do something about what
is happening to our Muslim brothers and sisters. Boycott Israeli
products (look at every product you buy and boycott it if it comes
from Israel). Encourage our men to go to the demonstrations. Make
sincere du'a to Allah for our situation. How pathetic we feel and
how little we can really do in the here and now to impact the
situation.
Let's look to the future, to changing the state of the Ummah
completely. The Jihad for justice starts in our homes.
I believe that the greatest and most powerful contribution we can
make as mothers is this:
Bring up your children to be Mu'mineen, who take the laws of Allah
seriously, who are attached to the life of the Prophet sallaAllahu
alaihi wa sallam (peace and blessings be upon him) and his
Sunnah.
Teach your children history and the lessons of history.
Teach them not just about the physical laws that Newton elucidated
so well, but the Metaphysical laws that the Qur'an elucidates so
perfectly.
A few days ago we went through the story of the battle of Badr and
I taught my children about the Sunnah of Allah, that if He wills he
can make a small group of people overpower a huge number of
people...I taught them that no one knows the army of Allah but He.
300 men who were less well armed beat 1000 well-armed men that day
- I want them to remember that forever. It can mean so many things
in their lives: that the little kid can overcome the big bully,
that when the odds are stacked against you, if you have Iman
(faith), you can win...that quality is more important than
quantity...that if Allah is on your side, you have nothing and no
one to fear...
The metaphysical laws that are the Sunnah of Allah are mentioned
throughout the Qur'an.
The law that:
After hardship will come ease.
That Allah obliterates Riba (as we have recently seen) and make
Sadaqah profitable
That if you thank Allah, he will give you more...all of these and
many more have been mentioned in the Qur'an.
That the Jews and Christians will never be pleased with you until
you follow their religion and way of life.
That if you are conscious of Allah, He will give you a way out and
provide for you from means that you never imagined.
These are all laws that we can observe and that are talked about in
the Qur'an.
If they grow up with Yaqeen (true belief and conviction) in these
metaphysical laws, they will be the bravest of men, because the
apparent will not deter them...what is visible to the eye will not
scare them...they will not be risk averse, rather they will leap
off the most dangerous mountain, knowing that they will only be
hurt if Allah wills it, they will jump into that deepest ocean,
believing that if they are doing so for the sake of Allah then
Allah will grant them victory over the waves. They will not be
fooled by what seems to be reality because they will be aware that
anything is possible if you have Allah on your side.
That is what this Ummah needs. A generation of people who have so
much Iman in the sunan of Allah that they will take risks, they
will dare to do what no one's done before, they will be willing to
go against the grain, unapologetic, firm in their resolve.
The problems of the Ummah did not appear overnight and they will
not disappear overnight. But we, the mothers of the Ummah can set
that change in motion...we must set that change in motion.
