In that society, surely everybody will be satisfied, feels calm and
serene, peaceful and full of tranquility, safe and full of salvation,
happy and contented, feel loved and cared for and are in harmony.
In the society we want and that which God requires, the leaders are
just, protecting and loving, gentle and of good character. The educated
are humble and full of self-humiliation. Everybody who mixes with them
feels at ease and satisfied. The rich and wealthy are not arrogant, not
exhibitive and are not proud. They become banks for the society or the
nation. Furthermore the poor and the destitute get support from them.
They are loved and they give out love. There is no one who hates them
except those who are spiteful and envious.
In the society that we are waiting for, the pious or the scholars are
like torches who light up each person’s life towards the path accepted
by God. They are compassionate towards the ignorant and are always
guiding and teaching them. They are gentle to other men. Their love and
compassion is obvious. Just seeing their faces, reminds one of God.
They are very much loved. Men turn to them for support and advice.
In the society we are waiting for, the patience of the poor is clearly
visible. They do not go around begging, let alone deceive. They are not
in anxiety but instead, are calm and pacifying. Others do not realise
the fact that they are poor and destitute, while, in fact they have
nothing to their names, for they never beg or cause any inconvenience
to people.
In the society we are waiting for, the aged are respected because their
charisma is high and preserved. The older they get, the closer they are
to God. Their words are like pearls, always disseminating knowledge to
people. As they get older, the more they are loved. They are not
neglected, what more by their children and grandchildren.
Besides that, in the society that we want, its youth are of honorable
character and their shyness is plain to see especially among the girls
and women. There is no useless free mixing of the sexes, they are
diligent at work and they actively struggle to uphold the rule of God.
They do not waste time seeking enjoyment. Their time is filled with all
things good and useful. They strongly protect the good name and dignity
of religion, race and nation. They are like fences and fortresses.
Further than that, in the society that we long for, no disobedience and
vices occur in the open. Crime does not exist. If any at all, it
happens only once in a while, for all men feel the fear of God and
truly love the Hereafter.
This should not happen in Muslim society
Articles left or lost will surely be found or returned.Womenfolk who
walk alone, will not be harassed and molested. Her safety and dignity
is guarded together, as though she is a member of the family even
though she is not known by anyone.
In such a society, neighbours respect each other, take care of each other, oversee each other, exchange gifts, help and assist each other and visit each other especially when one falls ill. Each is concerned with the other and when a neighbour is in difficulty, there will always be others who will assist him and care for him.
It follows that in the society that we are looking for, people who commit wrongdoing readily ask for forgiveness and the wronged readily forgives although forgiveness is not solicited. Revenge and vendetta do not exist, envy and grudge do not happen and killing do not occur.
Consideration for other people is a way of life. The world is not a source of strife and avenues for quarrels and disputes are non existent. The whole world is full of love and care and harmony.
In this society longed by mankind, those who are in difficulty, the poor and those facing mishaps will not be left unassisted. People will rush to help and give aid to them. Those who are poor and in difficulty really feel assisted. Although outwardly they appear to be poor but the truth is that they are not troubled because everyone is concerned about them.
Road demonstration would not happen in true Muslim Society.
In fact, those who are poor live better than those who are from the
middle class. In the society that we want, anywhere we go and anywhere
we travel to, it is easy for us to be received as guests. People rush
to receive us and every form of assistance is offered all along the
way. If we run out of supplies, there are always people who will give
assistance and help. If we are lost, there are always people who will
show us the way. In our journeys, we will never feel alone as there
will always be new friends and acquaintances made.Also in the society
that we want, (the signs of God ), the greatness of God and His
(symbols) are seen everywhere.
Islamic Financial System to overide Western system.
Wherever we go, we will see people carrying out acts of subservience,
handsomely attired to cover the body in accordance to the rules and
codes, giving and answering the “salam/peace greetings”, reciting the
Quran, learning religion, being well mannered, with noble culture,
helping one another, who are tolerant, who give priority to others, who
love to treat, to entertain and to receive guests and who give and
assist.
Further, in the society that we desire, the scholars, leaders,
teachers, parents, and the aged are respected and cherished, children
are loved, husbands and wives are loving to one another, the poor are
given aid and sympathy, friends are loyal, treachery does not exist,
trust is upheld, responsibility is carried out, promises are kept and
debility is accepted and forgiven.
And still further, in the society, wherever we go, we will not see
people loitering around wasting their time, no one will be out of work
or are unemployed, and no one will be seen reveling without any
purpose. Everyone is involved doing good and beneficial work either for
his God or for his fellowmen.
In the society that we want, people are busy with development, active
in making advancement, but without any accompanying transgression.
Demonstration is not Islamic teaching.
There is no corruption, no deceit, no oppression and no neglect. There is no transgression of the (rules of God). The more the people are developed and advanced, the more humble, generous and thankful they become and the more they fear God.
Hence, physical advancement and spiritual advancement goes hand in hand. There is simultaneous movement in the physical and spiritual development. The world and the Hereafter are developed together. What we then have is an advanced civilization and magnificent development that no longer symbolizes the arrogance of man but the supremacy of God, the greatness of the Creator, the power of the Creator, and the symbols of His power, and the abundance of His pleasures and blessings.
The effect is that non-Muslims or if there still exist, the minority of Muslims whose hearts are still wicked, they will be ashamed to commit any evil deeds. They feel guilty to commit any wrongdoing. Although they are not necessarily ashamed to their God, but they are ashamed to other men and they feel they should not be committing wrong. This indirectly helps to maintain peace and serenity in the society. Blessed by the fact that the majority of the people are good, coupled by the fact that they love and care for their leaders, the sholars and the rich among them
“A nation that is peaceful, prosperous and blessed with the forgiveness of God.”
The society that we picture above is the society that we long for, that
we are working and struggling for and that which we dream will one day
materialize in the reality of our lives. We hope it will happen in this
early part of the Hegira century for God has promised that in the early
part of this century, Islam will return resplendent as it was in its
early years. Let us together await while we struggle for this beautiful
and resplendent era. Let us hope that God grants us a sufficiently long
life, so that we can witness this golden age and let us also hope it
happens due to our efforts and our struggle. We hope God will not let
us down.
Oh God grant us this hope.
