PEAK OF DISPARITY AND GATE OF PEACE WITH PATIANCE ALONG TRANQUALITY (P-3)
“Whosoever does a good deed, it is for his own-self, and whosoever does evil, it is against (his own self). Then to your Lord you will be made to return.” (V-45:15)
In the global challenge of virus spreading when life seems to be at a standstill, every human is worried for its solution. How hard it is for the modern day social human being with fun of late night parties to stay at home as a punishment for certain deeds about which he still not is concerned. It looks like a spoiled child annoyed with his parents to put him in isolation by taking away his toys but he is still not aware of the reason for which he might be trapped in his residence.
The analysis of Corona virus indicates that Nature (Creator) is an authority over all the human defense system that He can destroy by any type of overt or covert stimulants while no Pir, faqirs junter-munter or scientist techniques can stop it in the space its duration. Even those who visit shrines, idols, etc., have no answer to it. As stated in V-42:30-31,” And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much. And you cannot escape from Allah (i.e. His Punishment) in the earth, and besides Allah you have neither any Wali (guardian or a protector) nor any helper.”
God is aware of the intentions and deeds of a person. So, it is not time for blaming other nations, rather a critical moment for each individual to look self-analytically for self-correction. The Creator knows better than the creature about the inner intentions, jealousy, aggression, cheating and manipulation of not only variant states and empires but also the individuals who are involved in causing human disparity in the lust of power by killing their own citizen without realizing the wrath of the Almighty Creator. Sometimes practical Muslims claim that the evils done by the non-Muslims become the causes of catastrophes but they do not count the majority of Muslims who proudly like to copy the western evil habits. It is reminded in V-73:8,” And remember the Name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with a complete devotion. (He Alone is) the Lord of the east and the west, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). So take Him Alone as Wakil (Disposer of your affairs).
I have observed that hypocrisy and fraudulent activities in politics and business are considered smartness in fooling and playing with the sincere sentiment of ignorant, innocent citizens in developing countries. It is more dangerous in society when a person becomes a hypocrite as this behavior has disgraced the Muslims’ identity in other countries. Society seems to be plagued with immoral deeds (corruption, nepotism, repression). Mostly criminal cases like mega-corruption, murder of family rivals, raping, land mafia, changing oaths or records for personal gains, etc., are cleared with known lawyers. People do not realize that human plans are based on assumption with corruptions but sole Provider keeps a command as revealed for insight in V-42:12,” To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth, He enlarges provision for whom He wills, and straitens (it for whom He wills). Verily! He is the All-Knower of everything.”
The immoral and unethical activities have even become routine as under-table activities and cell phone links are taking place. Everyone acts like an advisor without showing a true model. It is clearly quoted in the Qur’an repeatedly that nobody will take the burden of others’ evil deeds (V-2:48) and stressed in Surah Al-Hijrat that a Muslim must act what he talks as He knows the intensions of each person. It is reminded to mankind that if one counts the evils of individuals, no one will be left back on earth but He is Ghafoor (Forgiver on repenting over sins) in this world. In Islam, there is no discrimination in application of the set laws of Allah V-48:23,” That has been the Way of Allah already with those who passed away before. And you will not find any change in the Way of Allah.
In daily life, perhaps it is the peak of uncertainty with hopelessness for each one to seek solution and discipline from the bad and evil done by people under selfish motives by ignoring the Provider and His set principles to supersede in hoarding. Human nature is selfish and only turns to the Creator in hardship otherwise as narrated in V-41: 51.”And when We show favour to man, he withdraws and turns away, but when evil touches him, then he has recourse to long supplications”. 52. Say: "Tell me, if it (the Qur'an) is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than one who is in opposition far away (from Allah's Right Path and His obedience). 54. Verily! They are in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? (I.e. Resurrection after their deaths, and their return to their Lord). Verily! He it is Who is surrounding all things!” Particularly the socio-political leaders, religious beneficiaries, legal custodians, executives, etc., of the present capitalist century need to go in state of altered mind for cross-questioning over the present life-style that has derailed the old values of moderation. Mankind is warned that at the end when kings, wealthy arrogant are called to question then they will utter at the moment, is presented in V-69; 28-31, "My wealth has not availed me. My power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me!" (It will be said): "Seize him and fetter him, Then throw him in the blazing Fire.”
In the past under such crisis, the holy older people used to bow their heads and pray for peace and tranquility. Self-assessment for correction is important to come out of the mental sufferings as facts are quoted in V-42:30-31,” And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much. And you cannot escape from Allah (i.e. His Punishment) in the earth, and besides Allah you have neither any Wali (guardian or a protector) nor any helper.” The only method to come out of the blocked anxiety and uncertainty which can worsen a person’s self-defense line for immunity is to turn to the inner world in solitude, to have self-talk and purify the inner guilt by praying to the sole authority who is Provider of life, health, peace and death. No doubt He is Gracious, Wadood (loving), Rehman, Rahim, Ghafoor, only One Almighty power and Controller of the universe and universal system, Alive for all times. Patience with mutual support for the deprived class will enable a nation to work under social distance and defeat the spreading of the virus among human beings.
For knowledge and awareness of the masses, facts narrated about the Holy Book are stated in V-18:1-2,” All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has sent down to His slave (Muhammad) the Book (the Qur'an), and has not placed therein any crookedness.(He has made it) Straight to give warning (to the disbelievers) of a severe punishment from Him, and to give glad tidings to the believers (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a fair reward (i.e. Paradise).
One needs to recharge sharply his inner-self (Ruh) with the Almighty Allah for relief from the Corona virus and its emotional strain on the living beings. For achieving this revelation, a person needs not any link or support and associates for recommendation of any superman (saint, Pir, faqirs, etc.), Like a wireless link of human Ruh with the Master, each one is connected with the Master of the universal system. In this life-span, everyone has come and will return to Him for the life-deeds. It is stated in Al-Baqra V-2:186.”And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led a right.”
A person, under altered state of mind in the prayers, just starts feeling as if he is enchanted with His blessings as an approved person, or as if covered and supported by a Superpower (Controller of the sky and lands). So, when a person’s wireless link (spiritually) develops with purity, intensity and devotion to Him (Allah) in a secluded place, it originates a feeling of peace and tranquility over his blessed life. The patience to accept the will of the Master will increase the soothing and faith (trust) that He knows better what is suitable for that person in the crisis. Instead of crying out in pain and suffering, through the established patience, it will clean the gloomy mind blocked under fantasies. It is stated for the guidance in V-42:12 &25,”12. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth, He enlarges provision for which He wills, and straitens (it for which He wills). Verily! He is the All-Knower of everything,” 25. And He it is Who accepts repentance from His slaves, and forgives sins, and He knows what you do.”
