rendition of surah by shaykh mishary rashid al afasy
friends, dato and tansri,
in these days and age of liberal islam, clowns like youknowwhom given centre stage in the national media of the country to display their lack of ilm and faith in the ugama and the increasing clamour for lgbt rights in the public space; overwhelming secularism dominating the socio-political landscape; surah al munafikun is as relevant today as during nabi's [ pbuh ] time.
more relevant than ever before, i would surmise.
these are the days and age when phd's in comparative theology from sorbonne , boston or michigan have the temerity to want to re-interpret the qur'an, to be inline with the dominant secular world.
where the meek and those who just found islam in their forties or 50's , want to make do without the hadith........just the qur'an will do....and wet in the ears youngsters and university lecturers join in the 'fun'
where, rampant across the muslim hinterland with very rare exception here and there, corrupt muslim leaders, rulers, kings , sheikhs, emirs, 5 star generals, and very senior civil servants move in cohort to rob and plunder national wealth to the very brim with impunity, and the raayat just able only to stand by and watch.
etc etc and etc.
during nabi's [pbuh ] time , even abdullah bin ubays, the doyen of al munafikun of that time was oftentimes seen in the company of our nabi at zohor and asr prayers and jumaat prayers in masjid nabawi.
at isyak and subuh prayers he was nowhere to be seen.
chandeliers and electricity were not yet fashionable then.
that was the high medinan standard of that time.
now, the dividing line has been lowered, much much lower, and not as clear cut.
the term al munafikun has been a great taboo to be used.
instead we have other euphemisms.
let us listen to ustad nouman ali khan as a preamble to the surah.
.....and in his 2nd discourse in this slot he took a pedestrian journey through surah al baqarah touching also on issues of hypocrisy in our ummah.
do listen to both the discourse and the khutbah and ponder deeply.
change or all of us will be changed...
