Loyalty

Last week, in the message "Melting hearts", we started another precious Hadith from the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) regarding the conditions of the Final Days; this week, we wish to narrate the rest of that priceless Hadith:

… the Mo'men (Believer) walks among them with fear; if he talks, they swallow him up, and if he remains silent, he dies of sorrow and grief!

(Montakhab-Ol-Athar)

The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP), over 1400 years ago, had prophesied about all the wrong thoughts and acts which would prevail in human societies in the Last Days. As our beloved Prophet has mentioned in this Hadith, a true Believer's heart -which the light of Allah has shone upon it and the Divine gift of Certainty (Yaqeen) has blossomed in it- never beats for any value but heavenly values; even in the midst of all wrong acts and thoughts, the true Believer sincerely, knowingly and intelligently loves and submits to Divine values and wishes to uphold those celestial values; and when a Mo'men observes that all pure Divine limits are being transgressed, he wishes to speak out, but in some cases -due to the fact that wrong and evil doings, knowingly and unknowingly, have penetrated so deeply in human life and culture,… - if he says anything, he will encounter annoyances, persecutions, blames, mocks and … ; but in his benevolent and compassionate heart, he is so Certain of his beliefs that, remaining silent is just like dying for him; in these hard cases, he has no choice but to pray for re-Appearance and Anticipate… .

What about us? How do we feel, when observing the wrong and Anti-Islam beliefs and acts -even some times in the name of God- around us?! Let us, at least, avoid deviation-causing justifications, and remain loyal to the Anticipated Mahdi of Mohammad's progeny (PBUT), by upholding their celestial values in our own lives and trying to reach out and touch those who are willing to be touched… .
