Summary:
I begin in the name of the almighty God the compassionate the merciful
As you are trying to make sense of this global outbreak of coronavirus many people are wondering why is this happening?
is this a punishment from God?
is God punishing human beings?
if God is so merciful and he cares about us and he is our guardian he is our protector, why does he allow this to happen?
I would like to share with you some thoughts
These opportunities, this global crisis, is a message from Allah SWT to human beings to take a break!
We human beings are so distracted by this life!
We’re so distracted by materialism!
We’re so distracted by our wealth, by our power… by our social position
We forget of our future and our faith and our destiny,
We forget to prepare for our hereafter,
We forget to help the poor to help the orphan
We forget to stop injustice around the world
IN FACT, we contribute to injustice.
WE're so caught up …we don't have time to sit and reflect…
In the video, I recited some verses of the Holy Quran from Surah Al-Fajr (89):15-20
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
As for the human being, when his Lord tests him, honors him, and grants him bounty, he says, "God has honored me". (15)
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
However, when his Lord tests him by a measured amount of sustenance, he says, "God has disgraced me". (16)
كَلَّا بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
(Since wealth does not necessarily guarantee everlasting happiness) then why do you not show kindness to the orphans, (17)
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
or urge one another to feed the destitute? (18)
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا
Why do you take away the inheritance of others indiscriminately (19)
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
and why do you have an excessive love of riches? (20)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
But let's look at the positive side
The world is coming to a stop! This is an opportunity for all of us to re-evaluate
our lives, to recalibrate, our programs and activities
Are we really preparing for the hereafter?
Are we really doing the right things?
Do we even appreciate the blessings and the gifts that Allah SWT has given us?
Now that you're sitting in your home and life is coming to a stop Now you understand… the blessings that Allah SWT has given you,
Now you can appreciate them more!
Now you can even appreciate your own family!
Many of us, we barely see our spouses, children, parents, because we're so distracted, with our business, with our life!
BUT this is now a great opportunity to reconnect
with our children, with our family members, with our parents
Because we're forced to stay at home
it says as if Allah is inviting us… look your family is more
important than your business than going out there and working
Look at the bright side!
Take this as an opportunity my dear brothers and sisters
To seek closer to Allah SWT,… to have a better relationship
with your family members,… and to really evaluate what life is about.
