Adamantly Invoking Allahs Wrath - IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?
Written by: Ms. Raana Khan

As we continue with our Godless lives, we do not even stop to
consider how with each step and turn we
are adamantly invoking Allahs Wrath! The gravity of this never
hits us until (i.e. if at all), (Allah-Forbid) it
finally seizes us!
The wrath of Allah has manifested itself time and again; in the
form of various natural disasters or
calamities, such as an Earthquake, leaving mountains upturned
and thousands perished. Alternatively,
Storms like Katrina leaving hundreds dead and abandoned, left to
rot. Then again, worse still in theform of Tsunamis destroying
hundreds of kilometers of land devastated and damaged, swiping
clean
most of the human and animal life. It has happened many a times
before and as of late it has become far
more frequent. Yet we, so absolutely absorbed in our worldly
lives (ripe with defiance of Allah), all in the
name of fun and entertainment, we never stop to think when in
those moments or planning for them, IS
IT REALLY WORTH IT?
I often wonder; what is it that stops us from relating to or
contemplating the real value and worth of
those precious moments we choose to spend in Allahs defiance? It
escapes me how we could have
cried buckets for the pain that we feel for people who suffered
during the Tsunami in Japan or Phuket,
or the Earthquake and then floods in Pakistan, for the victims
of Katrina. It escapes me how we couldhave longed to know, how we
could reach and help them. It escapes me, how we could yearn for
finding
a way to turn back time, to somehow stop the calamity from
coming about at all. It escapes me, how
after witnessing and wanting all this, we can yet continue so
haplessly, so callously, so indifferently and
so adamantly Invoking Allahs Wrath? What is it that stops us
from realizing the gravity of our actions
while we pursue them? How come it escapes us to ask ourselves,
at least while in the act if not before;
IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?
I see so many of us so called Muslims, who apparently know at
least somewhat of the TRUTH (as we
may never even have bothered to read the entire Word of
Allah-SWT, i.e. the Quran, with
understanding and meaning), continuing in the same pursuit of
defiant fun, without paying an ounce of
heed to Allahs Command. It shakes the very ground beneath me
with horror to see this, because of the
realization that to know and spread the Truth, Allahs Word, His
Command, His Guidance and the Art of
Living, was our responsibility. When we not only shun our
responsibility to learn the Truth, let alone
spreading it or upholding it, the intensity with which we become
a part of the adamant invocation of
Allahs Wrath is far beyond that of the non-believers denial and
perseverance towards the defiant fun!
In effect instead of helping them any, we are a further or more
intense reason for the calamity to come
and strike or enfold them. If I were amongst those
non-believers, I would sift out any so-called Muslim

and throw them out of the gathering; for that would provide the
non-believers an amount of protection
from Allahs Wrath than to allow these claimants of belief, to
blaspheme against Allahs Commands
invoking His utmost Wrath to be allowed in their vicinity. It
should be clear-cut, that these are non-
Muslim events, and only non-believers are allowed to pursue this
form of entertainment, for otherwise
the presence of those hypocritical believers might end up being
the biggest party pooper they live to
witness!
It is a question I would like to put forth to those of us
Muslims, who are planning to participate in or
carry out or be part of these FUN events, be it a rock concert,
or clubbing, or partying or beach concert
or any other prevalent form of BEING MERRY, so to say; Why is it
that we are pursuing this activity? Is
it for fun? What if I were to choke on my spit and die right in
the moment of this defiant fun? How
would Allah-SWT receive me? How much of His Love would I have
invoked? How much of His Mercy
would meet and welcome me? Would all the fun that I have in this
moment suffice me or satisfy me for
all times to come (in the hereafter)? If doomed to hell, would I
be reminiscing these moments of fun and
finding pleasure and gratification in them? If a calamity like a
Tsunami were to seize every one of us
amidst the defiant fun and we all be raised together on the Day
of Judgment, would I be glad to beamongst these people as my
companions and comrades?
I wonder sometimes that all those who tragically lost their
lives in the calamities amidst the defiant fun
they were so adamantly pursuing, did they even get a chance to
reflect, WAS IT REALLY WORTH IT?
So here I am, making an attempt to help my dear dear dear fellow
Muslims realize, we still have time,
ask ourselves the needful and wakeup to the gravity of our
choices and actions. When making the
attempt and efforts to seek and pursue the defiant fun, stop for
a moment and think. In todays world
there are all sorts of choices and opportunities before us.
While there are opportunities to participate in
defiant fun and adamantly invoke Allahs Wrath, there too are
endless opportunities to seek and pursue
companions and gatherings, full of contentment of heart and
everlasting peace, aggressively invoking
Allahs Love and Pleasure. Now let us ask ourselves, which
gathering to we wish to be a conscious part
of and which companions do we wish to be raised with on the Day
of Reckoning? The moment if now,
for the present is all we have, let us not let it go by in vain.
May we all make the right choices and May
we all with absolute earnestness spend the rest of the moments
left of our lives in the pursuit of
adamantly invoking Allahs Love and Pleasure. Aameen!
For life is short and then we die! so lets make peace before we
say good bye!
