Asalamu alaikum List Members,
Alhamdulila after having a long brake from the list, am back again
to share with you the words of Allah the Almighty.And may Allah!
give us the understanding of this message.
Mankind with his Associates:
The association of man are four folds:
(a) with Allah,
(b) with Nature
(c) with Other Beings
(d) with Mankind.
with Allah:
The Ultimate goal of man should be Allah the Almighty.
The association of man to Allah should be a union, whereby Man will dwell in
the destiny of Allah enjoying and responding to all his beatiful attributes.
Man`s associates with Allah should be realized in actual life and not
merely to be perceived in a world of contemplation.It should
realistic as those with our parents even more,in the sense that is
the provider.
He gives me to eat, drink, restores me to health when I am sick, give
me life and death as He desires. It is said in the holy Qur-`aan sura
(20:124)"And who so ever turns away from My Massage, verily for him is a
life narrowed Down,and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of
Judgement."
"This is a deep psychological hint to all thinkers, regarding the present
paradox, dissatisfaction and dejection prevailing in the very midst of
riches and prosperity in the modern world. We may also be attracted to
Him our inner perception."
In brief,spiritual connection with Allah have to be revealed both
inside ourself and in the world outside. Allah said in the holy Qur-
àan sura (41:53) "We shall show them our portens on the Horizons and
within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the
truth.Furthermore He said, "How are they still in doubt about meeting
with their Lord? Lo! is not He surrounding all things? sura (41:54).
Allah is a permanent companion, and a sure helper in emergency if
approached right. But men often mistake His help for apparent
causes. He is with you, where ever you may be,and Allah (SWT)
sees what you do.As the wollof said ("Daw Yalla!Ham foo Jem").
The holy Qur-àan points out fundamental truths about nature, so as
to enable man to start his own detailed study and make use of his
enquiry as He can.
He Allah is the First and the last and and He is
the knower of all things inherent in His knowledge, finding
expression through His Manifestation.But despite His manifestation
He is incomparable. Qur-àanic Quotation:"say:He is Allah The
One.Allah is He on whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He
begotten. And none is like Him."sura (112:1.)
So the whole Universe is based on Truth which pervades it through
and through, and there is a purpose behind it everywhere.
All the celestial bodies are bound by some law in their behavior.The
whole universe is guarded with knowledge, and therein has its own
equilibrium, which keeps it in position. No two things in the Universe
are identical, all have their own identities, determined distinct,called
"TAJA-LI-YAT"(the things that can be seen) though it may not be
always easy to the difference.
"<The whole universe adores Allah, and some of mankind",(sura:22:18).Man
is gifted with a will by origin and given the sense of reasoning of which
he is
above all creation,therefore he is held responsible of his conduct.At any
rate
their is life,knowledge and Expression in all the objects of nature has
got its own significance,not even a gnat, is unworthy of attention.
The Qur-àan thus invites man to study nature and to cultivate a living
interest and sympathy with his natural surroundings-all living a life
of aim and purpose.
With Other Beings:
There are other beings like Angels, Jinns,Devils etc which all have
some degree of associate with Man. There are beings in other
planets that are not even aware of the creation of Adam. This is why
Allah is the First and the Last,Inward and the Outward.
His portents are manifested everywhere that`s why He is
"ALLAHOU - AKBARR" (Allah is great).With all these,Man is
paramount in creation as declare him "khaleefa" or (viceroy) on
earth.He should not be under the control of nothing but Allah the
Almighty,the most Exalted.
Man is superior to Angles and Jinns,and being most advance by
nature in knowledge and Devotion.
Man symbolizes much of Allah`s portents and demonstrates Allah`s
greatness. Man is the center of the Universe his small image
manifest all the occurrence of the universe.
When man stands in prayer he demonstrates all the four different
modes of existence.His "standing" demonstrates all that are standind
straight, his "Ruko" demonstrates all creatures walking on four legs,
his "Prustration" demonstrates all creatures without legs and his "sitting"
demonstrates all unmovable things like mountains, stones etc.
When man raise his hands up in "salat" it demonstrates the birds
and all flying creatures.This is why the"salat" is very significant to
man,because it is the link between man and Allah ( SUPERNA -
WATALA),and between man and all other creatures.
When ever man called the"Adzan" he has made a spiritual
accession through the seven heavens and seven earths and stand
in front of Allah and testify that by saying"LA-IE-LAHA-IE-
LALAHU"(There is noting but Allah).
Man is therefore a great being if only he or she knows it and act
right.But if man begins to fall in the physical and moral grades of
creation, he may fall to the lowest in his deeds, indeeds lower than
the animals do by nature.Qur-àanic quotation,"We have indeed
created Man in the best of molds,then do We abuse him (to be) the lowest of
the low, except such as believe and do righteous deeds for they shall have a
reward unfailing "sura 95:4-6.
With Mankind:
Among the associates of man is his fellow mankind.Man to man
should be an act of love,help, respect and honor.Man should act
right and be tactful to his fellow mankind.
Man`s carefree and nagative behavior to his fellow man could
sometimes be very detrimental.
As we have learnt that Man is the "Khaleefa" of Allah on earth and
some have a very high place in the Divine set-up.They are honoured
and love by Allah who so ever pleases them will be please by Allah,
on the other hand who so ever offend them will be crushed by Allah.
Therefor our relationship with each other should be of mutual love
and understanding.
Do on to your neighbor as you would like him to do onto you.
Love for neighbor what you love for yourself.The prophet
Muhammad (S.A.W) said in a Hadith, Nobody is a true believer until you
love for your neighbor what you love for yourself "
Man is favoured by Allah and is given the wisdom to rule and emerge above
all creation.Man was given the sence to know what is right and what is wrong
as said in the Holy Qur-àan: (sura:3,4,6)"He hath revealed unto thee
(Muhammad) the Scripture with truth,
confirming that which was (revealed) before it even as He revealed the
"Torah
and Gospel"Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind, and hath revealed the
citerion(of right and wrong)." He it is who fashioneth you in the wombs as
pleaseth Him.There is no God save Him,the Almighty, the wise".
Before Man was created,Allah has made all the necesary
arrangements and preparation for the convenience and good living
of man.
My Sheikh, Sheikh Ebrima Nyasse(R.A) used to say that:
Allah established this earth on a Sunday bring forth the rivers.
Monday:He created the Sky and all the planets e.g the sun, moon
stars etc.
Tuesday:He created the animals and other creatures.
Wednesday:He created the trees and plants.
Thursday:He created heaven and hell.
Friday:He created Adam in the early morning and Awa in the
evening.
Saturday:Was a day that Allah created notting.
So we can see that man was created last after setting everything
ready for him,as said in the holy Qur-àan (sura:2 verse:29)
"It is He who hath created for you All things that are on earth;
Then He turned to the heaven and made them into seven
firmaments.And of all things He hath perfect knowledge.
Allah favoured Man and made him victoryious upon the angels who
themselves want to be in the position of "khaleef" (viceroy)as said in
the holy Qur-àan:(sura:2 verse 30 - 32).
"And when the Lord said unto the angels Lo! I am about to place a
"khaleef" (viceroy)in the earth,They said: Wilt Thou place therein
one who will do harm therein and will shed blood while we do
celebrate Thy praise And glorify Thy holy(name)?" He said:"I know
what ye know not." "And He taught Adam all the names, then
showed them to the angels, saying Inform me of these names if ye
are thruth." "They said:Be glorified! We have no knowledge save
that which Thou hast taught us. Lo! Thou art the knower, the wise.
Surely then man is well honoured by Allah and therefor in turn man
should be very loyal to Allah is to be loyal to your fellow man.
Whatever you want to do or give to Allah must be send through
mankind.Everything reaches Allah`s hand through man`s hand.
This beautiful and complex creation(Man) should always praise his
Lord with the word "Al-Hamdu-Lila" which covers all the associates
of man, and yet give Allah the most beautiful praise of Uniqueness.
Everything else hymn Allah`s praise everytime,but man.Some of
mankind are reluctant in serving Allah and yet Allah in His mercy
provide their needs.
This Merciful Lord, This Beneficient Lord, This powerful Lord,
This Exalted Lord does not care whether you serve Him or not He
always cater for you your share.If all the world turn to serve Allah,
it will not add to Allah notting, on the other hand if all the world refuse
to serve Allah it will not lessen nothing from Him.The holy Qur-àan
(sura:22 verse:18)."Hast thou not seen that unto Allah payeth
adoration whosoever is in the Heaven and whosoever is in the
earth, the sun,the moon,the stars, the hills,the trees,the animals
and many of mankind"? But a great number are(also)such as are
Fit for punishment:and such as Allah shall disgrace-non can
honour: For Allah carries out all that He wills.
So the world leaders of today,you have to be very careful of how
you treat your fellow mankind because anything you do good is for
your own benifit tomorrow,and whatsoever you do bad you will face
the punisment tomorrow whether you know it or not the penalty is
waitin for you.
You can do what ever you want to do evil,no matter what possition
you have in this world today,one day you are going to put in the
ground,
Look at Adolf Hitler with all his power and weapons,he is no more
existing neither do his battalion or weapons exist.
So be careful of what you are doing,Allah is not sleeping,He is
always watching.The wise!!!!!
May Allah!(The Almighty) gives us good understanding and guided
us to the rigth part.....Ameeen!!!!!
Alaahumasalli alaah saidina Muhammadin wa alaah ali Muhammadin.
