In the name of ALLAH, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

“THE OPPRESSED AND ALMIGHTY’S HELP”

[With a video link given in the last – Must See]

By S Roman Ahsan – March 2012 - REVISED: 26th January, 2019

The Pharaoh subjected the children of Israel to oppression for centuries in Egypt. Treated like slaves, the exploited people found no respite. Much time had lapsed since Prophet Joseph or Yusuf (pbuh) ruled the country after his family migrated to Egypt from Syria. A nation always faces downfall due to its own ill-doings and this is what happened to their successors also who lost their path. When the tyranny of Pharaoh and his accomplices increased beyond measure, God’s help was forthcoming and He raised a saviour (Moses pbuh) from the weak nation to humiliate and to defeat the mighty king. 

It is said Pharaoh lived a long life without even having a minor complaint like headache (this and his awesome might actually made him claim godhead) but he eventually had to meet his downfall. ALLAH mentions about this whole affair in Qur’an: “And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them the Leaders and to make them the heirs.” – (28:5). 

Similarly, a saviour is to rise again soon in this world to rescue the oppressed. We have to pave way for him by our deeds, for every good action will make us include in the group that is pleasing to God.

 


In this connection please see the following video (link given at the last). The affair of Imam Mahdi and Anti-Christ (Dajjal) is going to be the greatest showdown between good and evil from the time of Prophet Adam (pbuh) till judgment day according to valid sayings of the Prophet (pbuh). All the Prophets (pbu them all) have warned their nations about the time of Dajjal (Anti-Christ) for he and his accomplices will bring the worst trials upon mankind. Their aim will be to remove the spirit of religiosity from our hearts so that they can be subdued easily with their evil influences. Many Muslims will lose their faith in that time due to the magic, influence and power of the Anti-Christ thus doomed to the everlasting fire of hell. Only Muslims with strong faith will be able to protect their faith. Hence we have to fear Allah alone and think about forming strong bond with Him so we become invincible against any satanic influences!

Are we preparing for that time as the signs of appearance of Imam Mahdi have come to pass? It should be of prime concern for us that the media powers in these times are also serving as the tools of evil forces and leading us away from our faith (emaan). They are like tranquilizers who are putting our minds to sleep with their awesome attractive offerings. A woman was never before more presented as a sex object as in these times when in fact her stature has a noble significance in the roles of a homemaker, a sister, a mother and a life-partner. She is required to clad herself in hides to impart more respect to her being than her figure to be exposed. Men of faith respect women for their inclination towards purity and not for exhibiting their bodies as if there is no tomorrow!

The entertainment industry has basically always been in the boredom-killing business but in current times it has become devoid of any moral substance (or there is very little of that). The villains and vamps of yesterday are characterized as heroes and heroines today. Most of the elders in our society are unable to resist this slow poisoning and to apply any ‘check’ in their houses since their minds are not receptive to the message of ALLAH and where to apply it. It is a sort of invasion in our very own houses which is uprooting any ethical sense from our shallow existence. People are busy in making ends today and that too in the domain of high-end life-styles. They are not contended with simple living standards which form the core of Islam since they fear falling out of the ‘crowd’. Give a teenager a laptop with high speed internet connection and you make the biggest mistake. Tender minds infused with little prior moral upbringing are liable to cram themselves with alien philosophies with their ‘self-learning’ tactics. They will not pay heed to what their elders say and you lose another being to the Dajjal system!

The time of emergence of Imam Mahdi could be quite close as the signs leading to his appearance have come into sight. For now, Turn up the speakers and enjoy listening to the awesome ‘nasheed’ playing while reading the slides.
