Life is a test...Trust ALLAH
Bismillah IrRehman IrRaheemA girl that I know of has repented and returned to the true path of Islam. She can now be called a Muslim. She was very young and grew up seeing and visiting graves of the 'righteous' people. Not hard was it for her to count on the beads 'Ya Gous Azam Dastageer', even though she had no idea what it meant. All she knew was Some Gous Azam is a pious person through whom Allah will listen to her. When she was faced with problems, she would run to people to help her out. She did though, had a sense of things being right and wrong. She told me that now when she looks back at those days, it seems to be a blank slate filled with unreadable events. She can't remember much but still she remembers a lot. She questions me, "Why do parents not teach their kids first about ALLAH Subhana Wata'ala, why do they not introduce Him to their kids? Why do they not tell them that if they want anything, Allah, The All-Hearing, Is the Most worthy to be called upon, like the story of a woman who used to hide her kid's food and tell him to ask ALLAH and Allah will put food somewhere in the house? She asks me, why is it so important for kids to learn Eyes, Nose, and Lips, yet not so important for them to learn about The Creator of Eyes, Nose and Lips and so forth? She inquires, Why is it so important to yet celebrate the birthday of the kids and not so important to tell them about the true joy the Eid brings? Why? Why? Why?
If only we paid attention, we would know how Islam is a 'stranger' in our own houses and us, being born muslims, why we are 'strangers' towards Islam and not towards kufr. Is that not us, ourselves, who are taking away our own generations' true identity? PAY HEED, and you will find the answer. How painful is it that YOUR identity is being taken away from you by your own loved ones or YOU take away the identities of YOUR children without even thinking before commiting this merciless, painful act?
Yet there are those who are gropping in the darkness and when the light comes towards them, like Quraish, they turn away saying, "you want us to leave the ways of our forefathers?" Why do they not realize, only a few will be guided and as is stated by ALLAH Subhana Waata'ala in Surah Al-Baqarah (the cow), only those who are obedient will be guided. Those who want to follow the foul desires of their nafs will not be guided for they don't want to obey ALLAH Subhaan Wata'ala in the first place.
Why is it that we make shirk and when told that we have commited the most wicked deed, instead of repentance, we go our own way and reject to accept our mistake and turn to ALLAH Subhana Wata'ala. To ALLAH Subhana Wata'ala, those are most beloved who repent with a pure heart full of His love and guilty upon the act of disobedience. Don't we want ourselves to be among those? Not to say that we should commit evil deeds but to repent and return at this point is the best of all choices we are given. And the belivers are the most lucky people on the face of this earth.
The girl I was mentioning earlier grew up in an environment full of shirk and disobedience to ALLAH Subhana Wata'ala, not because the people wanted to do this on purpose, but because of the wicked promise Shaitan made, as Allah Subhana Wata'ala tells us in Quran that shaitan promised to misguide people by showing to them their wicked deeds as good. Their ancestors at some point adopted the innovated rituals that were not part of the Islam and now these offspring wouldn't let go of those rituals as they come from their 'forefathers'. SubhanALLAH, so much it reminds me of Quraish but I am just thinking of the patience this girl needs as she goes through with trying to clear up the misconceptions and show the real face of those wicked deeds shaitan has made good in the eyes of these people.
Allah Subhana Wata'ala has guided her through His Best blessings, now what is she going to do? I fear that I don't want her to see among those 'who had disbelieved after they believed' like Bani Israel. I don't want to lose her. I want her to become a true Muslimah. Lets please pray for her for she really needs to start out with LaIllaha Illalah...(sigh) while talking to born-Muslims.
May ALLAH Subhana Wata'ala make this task easy for her and fill it with His Rehma and Blessings for whoever is helped by Him, NEVER fails.
