Before We Move On To Surah al Qalam, 68......" Curing The Sick Heart ", Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim

your excellency,

And the Jews will not be pleased with thee, nor will the Christians, till thou follow their creed. Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah (Himself) is Guidance. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, then wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting friend nor helper. (120) Those unto whom We have given the Scripture, who read it with the right reading, those believe in it. And whoso disbelieveth in it, those are they who are the losers. (al baqarah,121)



there is this current move globally, energised by feminist oriented ngo's to set a definitive limit with respect to minimum age of marriage.

muslim dominated countries are also caught into this movement of change.
it is easy to rationalise and agree to this current movement.

to me i can see this coming from a thousand kilomeres away, some 5 years down the 'lane' :
'' you see my friend, your nabi is a paedophile! you yourselves agree to this! ".

i am not sure whether dsai , the substantive pm in waiting,or his mrs who is the minister for domestic and women affair can see this clearly. 
tdm, could not initially, but has been persuaded that it is not a popular move to ratify the limit.

on another horizon, we have ICERD looking over us.
it is an irritant.
the rest of the secular humanist world wish to 'draw lines in the sand'.
it is an incessant project of theirs.
the rest of the world must stick to SOP's and it has to be their SOP's, full stop.
if you dont, you run the possibility of being declared a pariah state one of these days...

it is easy to ratify ICERD etc and etc as well.
it is the politically correct thing to do, you might surmise.

i am not a 'royalist' but i am an 'islamist'.
we muslims are different from the rest.
....and we should remain different.

and  yet anoother  perceived ' human right ' inequities such as gender inequalities as perceived by the western secular minds, trouble us for decades:

'' if you can be a  jet fighter pilot. we also can!.... if you guys can have 2 shares  of the family heirloom, we should also be the same...etc etc and etc ''

we muslims the world over have lost our meanings...
we are caught as well in the swift current of change.

deep down our problem is , 'our hearts are collectively and globally sick! '
we are all sleep walking thru our ugama, and aping the west unreservedly.

it is not our eyes that are blind. our hearts are now like stones.
even stones  and rocks are better!
water flows out from some stones and rocks, mind you!

listen!

" curing the sick heart "
shaykh yahya ibrahim

[   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzzotT-cz4w  ]


....it is about the qur'an; the selawat on the nabi; servitude  and compassion to allah's creation; as sadaqah;  & attachment to the infirmed, the poor and the yatim; lack of honour and takzim to symbols  and sanctity of the ugama.......honour the masjid, the hijab, the jubah etc etc and etc.




10:00        attachment to the qur'an as a first prerequisite.

25:30        doa and selawat to the prophet

29:00        only doa and selawat on the prophet always...'much much better'..it suffice 
                  all your needs.

59:10         who your friends are?


1:02:00     all things halal....


1:04:10      as sadaqah


1:08:10      '' i look to the summer when the days are long and hot....i look to the winter when
                    the nights are long and cold...". subdue your hearts with humbling occupations
                    and pre-occupations.

1:13:20       visit the sick, the infirmed, the poor, the yatim.....open  and subdue your hearts to 
                    to doing humble things.
