| How Much Longer Will We Reject Allah's Program? |
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful:
"We sent not a Messenger, but to be obeyed,
In accordance with the Will of Allah.."
(Quran 4: 64)
Humans require information to
build and format their lives in the Earth environment. Without information we
cannot function appropriately. Throughout the written history of mankind, we
see that it is the knowledgeable people who attain leadership and prestige in
society. Even in the era of the hunter-gatherer, it was the more proficient
hunter-gatherers to whom everyone turned to ensure the survival of the
community. In the current era, the management of communities and countries is
trusted to politicians and not to “average” citizens who are uninformed about
“political” affairs. School systems are an integral part of every “civilized”
society in the world and no progressive civilization would dare think of
ignoring them. Yet human society has ignored the most necessary information for
its survival.
Modern society is obsessed with
earthbound, material development and pays minimal attention to metaphysical
development; a necessary component for balanced human development. What passes
for “education”, particularly in Western countries, is a concentrated
philosophy of purely material acquisition, to the detriment of the human soul.
It totally ignores the existence of Revelation, Allah’s gift of true knowledge
to Humanity. Its focus is entirely materialistic with no acknowledgement given
to the purpose of human life or to any responsibility to our Creator. No thought is given to the information
presented to humanity by the prophets of Allah throughout the ages. The wisdom
of Revelation has been completely cast aside in this “educational” system. The
products of this type of “education” are arrogant people who equate social
“progress” with only material development. They have a perverted view of other
people and of themselves. While appearing to be “sophisticated”, they
mistakenly weigh human value in terms of material possessions, not personal
characteristics, thereby perpetuating the hostility of today’s social
environment.
Attempts to replace Allah’s
commands with Man-made laws have miserably failed throughout all recorded human
history. Unceasing hostilities within and between countries are directly
related to the abandonment of the wisdom and justice expounded in the
Revelations of Allah. The blind obstinacy with which humanity continues to
cling to its failed philosophies and reject the implementation of Revelation is
reflected in the continuing world-wide collapse and destruction of countries
and social structures. Human society everywhere is becoming increasingly more
hostile and the cries for peace are growing louder every day. Without
acknowledgment of Allah’s laws by human society, the unbounded oppression of
the poor will not cease. Until humans decide to collectively accept and
implement the laws given by Allah in His program for human life on Earth, there
will be no solution to the ongoing crises.
While there is no objection to
material wealth, its blind acquisition has led to environmental crises in all
countries around the world. Given the inter-connectivity of Earth’s resources
and its life-forms, imbalances in any one area affect all areas in one form or
another. World-wide climactic disturbances have been traced to ignorant
material development in many parts of the world. Materialists will not
acknowledge the destruction that their activities are causing to Earth’s
environment because it means putting limits on their quests for and methods of
acquisition of Earth’s resources. Their activities have already polluted the
air we need to breathe, the soil we need to produce food and the water we need
to drink to sustain life. Yet they
continue to blindly pollute our rivers and the very oceans that sustain our
world in the never-ending quest for material development. It is time for
humanity to take heed of the Revelations of Allah or perish by its own hands.
