Who Are The Prophet’s Ummah?
30-12-2008
In the field of
Mahshar later, it is narrated that there are many from amongst us, the Ummah of
the end times, who without feeling any shame, wave at the Prophet while claiming
to be his Ummah. The honourable Prophet would only smile. May be smiling because
of finding it amusing at seeing the behaviour of each one of them who earlier in
their lives did want to follow the way that he showed, and now (in the
hereafter) are suddenly claiming to be his Ummah. Nice try! Let’s see what they
have been up to in their lifetimes:
Electing Another Prophet Casually
They do not want to follow Prophet Muhammad SAW, and not enough with that, they
take the kafir laknatullah as their role models. They idolize them as if they
could give the shafaat (intercession) on judgement day in the akhirat later.
They follow blindly all that they do, wanting very much to be like them. Then
follow them all the way into hell if you like them so much! Let’s see if you can
ask for the shafaat from the people they idolized in the field of Mahshar later.
Not Wanting To Utter The Salawat For The Prophet
Not to say that the Prophet is in need of the blessings from their utterance of
the salawat, but to give them the blessings instead, but they are arrogant. To
give salawat just like that is of course out of the question, but they do not
even want to say the salawat when hearing the name of the Prophet being
mentioned. It is not every hour that they hear people mention the Prophet’s
name, even once a day is also not a guarantee and even that is hard for them to
lift a tongue and say the salawat. It’s not asking them to do a “summersault” or
something...
Not Wanting To Follow The Prophet’s Sunnah
Nobody wants to follow the Prophet’s sunnah anymore in these modern days. Even
the easier tasks are burdensome, not to mention the heavier ones. The Prophet
ordered them to establish solat, but they played deaf, much less the Prophet’s
order of praying in jamaah. The Prophet said that he wanted to burn down the
houses of those who did not come for jamaah in the masjid, they said that the
Prophet is insane!
Not Wanting To Study The Prophet’s Sirrah
When there was a talk in the masjid with a topic on the story of the Prophet,
all stood up to leave. What to do with the traditions of the Prophet’s life?
They have known them all, they claimed. It was said that there’s nothing new to
learn, again and again it’s the story of his life in the times of the
camel-riding desert dwellers. They said it’s not relevant to their lifestyle of
driving a BMW.
Not Knowing The Prophet’s Companions
If the Prophet himself is not respected, do we expect them to respect the
sahabahs?. They say, “What’s so great about them other than being promised
paradise?” Well, are they themselves confirmed enough to enter paradise? They
consider themselves to have become at the same level as the sahabahs perhaps?
Only that they are living in a different era. Well, they are also Muhammad’s
companions anyway… Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Osman or Muhammad Yusuf that is!...
