Circle of Madina

Mosque of Prophet (PBUH) by Yasmine Arfaoui

Prophet PBUH was not a sooth sayer, a liar or a propagandist. He never went into revolt, hate speeches and anti state agendas. He just became a good person. One who spoke truth, even when losses were evident. He held his promise, even when it meant waiting on the cross roads of Syria for days. He became known as Saadiq (truth teller) and al-Amin (honest).

Today, how can we bring 633’s Madina to Pakistan and other countries of the world? Let’s discuss it.

1. Make a circle around you

2. Let Allah guide you

1. Make a circle around you

Circle by Luís Eusébio

Draw a circle around you. You at its center. The circle has a diameter of nearly 3 Feet. Consider this circle your envisioned state of Madina.

Now make laws, rules, regulations, constitutions and principles that you want your state of Madina should follow. Consider it one working organisation. You, are an entire universe. I believe if an organisation as big as universe, changes into Madina, it will have an impact.

Now act like the state of Madina.

1. Do not point fingers at Meccans. Utilise this time to prepare yourself for Badr, Uhud, Khandaq.

2. Keep the streets, roads, houses and mosques clean. Inside this circle, pure.

3. Inspire the tribes in your neighbourhood to join you in your fight against Meccans. Do not fight them, but inspire them.

4. Be professional. That you fulfil your promises, speak honest and become a true reflection of Muhammad PBUH.

I know it is difficult. To change that your state becomes Madina, today. Therefore, you do not deserve a Madina yet. You won’t get it. Your cries, whimpers and opinions won’t give you much. Your Prime Minister won’t make your state flourishing like the state of Madina, you dream.

If you change right now, tomorrow you will find the abundance, love, wealth, happiness and relations, as good as the state of Madina. Allah swt will give you a pen, a sword, a ride that you will run towards Mecca. You won’t swing your sword. And Allah will give you a Mecca, a Taif, a Syria, a Jerusalem. You won’t have to declare war, or raise a slogan, or act louder. You will win, tomorrow, only after you make your circle, the state of Madina.

Let Allah guide you

Sharjah Mosque by Asif Ali Yousafzai

O you who believe! Seek help through patience and the prayer. Indeed, Allah (is) with the patient ones.
Surah Baqarah verse 157

As the circle, the state of Madina, resides inside you. You will find the opportunities presenting itself to you. Wealth flowing in. Relatives calling you. Brothers and sisters reaching out to you. You will see your life change already. It will become one ride filled with joy, love and adventure. You will have your adrenaline pumping, most part of your days. Each moment, it will be a game, your small talks and lengthier actions will start bearing fruits.

In these downs, ups, falls and thuds, you will feel confused. At times, you will see the victory standing at your gate, you open it and it is all blank. At times nothing is visible and all of a sudden you find the highly awaited news. In such hard times, let Allah take control of your ride. You bend down your head, walk with humility, embrace critiques, love enemies, hug humiliators and ask Allah for help. Let Allah, plan your next minute, hour, day, life. Let Him, lead your way.

Soon, you will find, the present moments are the most blessed. The small bird chirps will start cheering you. The tv remote and desi dramas will relax you. The wife will comfort you. The fan, the flow of air, the fall on your feet, the gravity, the nature will put you in awe. You won’t be able to get away from counting blessings. When you will be riding your horse, running with sword, and conquering the world inside your circle, your falls will only cheer you.

Conclusion

Self by Randy Jacob

No Qadiyani is not kaafir. Hindu is not kaafir. Jew is not kaafir. The murderer is not kaafir. No, not yet. There is no Madina inside you, yet. You do not inspire people. You do not act Muhammad. You do not make your Allah proud of you yet. You, until do not create a Madina inside you, have no authority, spine and right to label anybody a kaafir.

Become a Madina first. Someone, who creates art. Promotes science. Makes libraries. Teaches Google, Microsoft and Apple. Become a brand first. Become someone who is respected first. Become a Saadiq and al-Amin first. Until you do not become one, you have No wisdom / understanding / knowledge / certificate to label a Hindu, a Jew, a Qadyani, a Christian a kaafir. Because, you are not there yet, you have no right to attack the states outside your circle of Madina, yet.
