Make Truth Loudest

Molana Tariq Jameel apologises

Truth, is one beautiful product. It does not take a day’s effort of hard work. It does not require thorough planning. It does not demand any of our precious time. It just happens; plain, old, simple, straight and fearless.

Yet we are afraid of speaking truth. It is not found more often today, when it is needed the most. We do not speak truth. We do not take the leap of Faith. We do not recall we are Muslim. We do not remind ourselves, this is it, the world, is just a bubble; about to explode.

Let us help us push ourselves to fixing our today, right now, by realising following things.

1. Truth is not much Loud

2. Stop banking on people

Truth is not much Loud

Loud by Markus Spiske

Some congregational prayers, some Quran recitations and some honest talk gatherings. Some kids graduating from pure Islamic Madrassahs. Some Hufaaz reciting Quran ahead in Ramadan nights. These are not loud activities. These activities are there, considered just that, an activity; attended and forgotten.

We are not speaking truth louder. We are not propagating the message of Quran loud enough. We are not louder than fake lies, Netflix channels and music filled mobile phones. Accept it, we are not making the tone of our actions, loud enough, that would suppress the beatings of poor at the hand of the riches.

Just like Molana Tariq Jameel, make the tone of truth loud enough that dugs deep into the roots of false hood. That even after you ask for forgiveness, you be “sorry”, you still win the hearts, motions and news. You still stand victorious.

Believe it, the truth, itself is hard, easiest thing to do, and the shortest route to success. Without truth, without it being louder and without it being resonating in the ears of falsehood, you might never reach the podium of success. Without a mega phone, a loud call, you might never break the shackles of slavery, narrow-ness and dullness.

Stop banking on People

Directed walk by Devin Justesen

The siblings, parents, friends and colleagues, are just people. You do not bank on them. Do not ask them for favours. Do not reach out to them for help. You stop banking on people. You need to stop thinking, they can help you.

Like Muhammad (PBUH), hold tight to the rope of truth. Quran. Light. Allah. Wisdom. A smile. Hold tight to the Life inside your own self. Hold tight to the oozing energy of your own. Hold on to the bravery. Willingness to die for your purpose. Hold on. To Allah.

One person can not change your life. A 100 people can not bring you success. Thousands can not hear your voice. Millions can not prove beneficial. One heart, that connects to Allah, is more worthy than a zillion hearts, not close to Allah. One heart, one truth and one humility of Prophet (PBUH) made Allah appoint him the Last of all His messengers. The best student in humans, made the Creator, create a universe.

Allah does not want 100 people following His path. He simply does not want us to work for Him. He is not bothered how much you look, feel and walk on His path. He has abundance of creations prostrating to Him, every second. He does not want our Ibadahs, sincerity and rituals. He wants our Love. The extent to which we are willing to fight for His message. Just that, what we are willing to lose in His path.

Conclusion

Sky by Tom Barrett

We are not good muslims. We are incomplete. Patchy. Broken. Useless. We know we are not fully ready for death.

The problem arises, when we take pride in our compared-to-nothing achievements. When we label ourselves hard-worker, good, perfect and complete.

We need to tell ourselves, people around us, far friends, “we are incomplete”. We need to be humble. Down. Near the earth. We need to stop taking credit. We need to stop bragging. We need to stop labelling others. We need to just accept, we are in-complete. Not ready. Not willing. Not friend of Prophet (PBUH). We are not there, Not yet.
