I love its purity, its logical guidance.  I love the Book of Directions (the Qur'an) that He sent down as a Guidance; a roadmap to everlasting serenity - al hamdulillah!  So it grieves me to no end to see individual Muslims and Muslim countries working against that which Allah Ta 'ala has perfected.  We have Muslim governments who are working against Islam by allowing the kufar to use their land and their resources to kill other Muslims.  That sin will be recorded in their Book of Deeds because they are assisting the kufar in the killing of believers.  This they will truly answer for o­n the Day of Resurrection, a Day about which there is no doubt: 
   
    And whosoever killeth a believer intentionally, his recompense shall be Hell,
    he shall abide therein and Allah's wrath shall be o­n him and His curse,
    and (there) is prepared for him a great torment. (Qur'an 4:93)

There are an estimated 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide.  However, Allah Ta 'ala has prepared a 'place which neath rivers flow' o­nly for those whom He identifies as: "Oh ye who believe!"

Many people call themselves believers and I cannot say they are not because I do not know what is in their hearts, o­nly Allah Ta 'ala has that knowledge. I can o­nly question a person or person's belief by their actions.  I question those who call themselves believers yet spy o­n other believers for the enemies of Islam for their own financial or misguided beliefs. I pray that they realize their sin, correct their ways, and ask for forgiveness because their actions are of those who do not believe.  For a believer is o­ne who fears Allah Ta 'ala more than he fears his enemy. A believer is o­ne who believes in the Word of Allah (the Qur'an) and the sunnah of His beloved Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (saw). and follows it to the best of their ability.

Would a believer obey the kufar or our so-called religious leaders who tell us to spy o­n o­ne another when Allah Ta 'ala has told us:

     "And spy not, neither backbite o­ne another."  (Qur'an 49.12)

Of those who spy and deceive, He has said:

     They hide from people but they hide not from Allah and He is with
     them when they hold nightly discourses which He is not pleased with;
     And Allah doth compass round all they do. (Qur'an 4:108)

It is often repeated in the Qur'an that we are not to take the enemies of Islam as friends:
   
    Oh ye who believe!  Take ye not My enemy and your enemy
    for friends: offering them (your) love while denied
    they what hath come unto you of the Truth.." (60:1)

The Zalimun, the wrong-doers, cannot destroy what Allah Ta 'ala has created, al hamdu lillah.  However, they can cause division and confusion within the ummah, and division and confusion is a tool of the Shaitan.  Therefore, these people must be discovered, identified, and labeled for what they are: enemies of the ummah.

During the United States' dark period of physical enslavement of the African, the slaves who worked in the slave master's house were called "house slaves."  They were given privileges and treated more favorably by the slave master. For this, many became spies against their own people.  Those who worked in the fields were called "field slaves". They were cruelly  mistreated and lived a harsh existence. The Euro-American history books do not record it, but there were thousands of slave rebellions by the field slaves.  Many would have succeeded if it were not for the house slaves notifying the slave masters of the planned rebellions. Many of the rebellious slaves were either put to death, beaten, or sold because of this.

I see the ummah in a similar situation.  Those who spy and deceive and assist the kufar in killing of other Muslims are the "house Muslims".  They have sold their souls for the temporary enjoyments of this world over the everlasting pleasures of paradise as promised by Allah Ta 'ala.  Those who strive and fight hard in the cause and for the love of Allah Ta 'ala are the "field Muslims."   These are the o­nes who endure the wrath and punishment of the kufar just as the believers did over 1400 years ago.  But they survived the cruelty because they believed in the promises of Allah Ta 'ala, and we must also because: 
      
   (These are) those who inherit the Paradise; they shall abide therein.
   (Qur'an 12:11)

and:

     Shortly We will admit them into gardens 'neath which rivers
     flow, forever shall they abide therein; (It is) a promise of Allah.
     (It is) true indeed; And who can be more true than Allah in utterance
     (Qur'an 4:122)

These are those who are believers in the word of Allah Ta 'ala --O ye who believe-- because:

      Verily Allah faileth not His promise.  (Qur'an 3:9)

I pray that all those who have strayed from the Path of Righteousness, may Allah Ta'ala make them rightly guided, and all those who have lost their way may Allah Ta'ala guide them to the Suratul Mustiqeen.   Amin.
