لله الحمد After a gap of perhaps more than three years, I have uploaded another bayan forwarded to me by brother Jamsheer sb (Bridco). I have realized through these years little much benefits of uploading the bayans online through the many comments I received and of the number of people have gone through them. The intention was to reach those audience that never reached the real audience. Those that surf online in the virtual world and ‘waste’ their time. It was an effort to let this wastage be turned into beneficial and for a good. As ‘Mufti Ismail Menk’ says ‘We keep the account in facebook, not because we are interested in it. Because there are section of our brothers who are never seen in any of Masajid, but they are somehow available on ‘facebook’. Let them hear the message least there. Hence was my intention to create www.deenibayan.com and it serves the same purpose. Otherwise who dares compare a beautiful flower garden to mere picture of it? How can a fruit be tasted without eating it or how can a perfume be enjoyed without smelling it? The beauty of a bayan is enjoyed in the Majalis (gathering) where Angles are surrounded and promises are offered. But sometimes a beautiful picture of a garden can chill the heart of those long to see it. Human heart can imagine beyond our imaginations, can picture the beauty before the beauty is attained. Ecstasy of the seeker of truth may be far more than who attained it.
There is a story by Shaikh Muhammad Areefi, the author of ‘Enjoy your Life’ about a young man who used to share illicit web contents with his friends. It happened that the young guy would show his collections received in his email before his friends in their weekly gathering. His friends then wanted to have the same but was told it was a paid subscription. So this guy told the idea of auto forwarding the emails whenever it reaches his email. One day this young man died because of an accident and he was then buried. But the friends were amazed and surprised to receive the filthy email from the dead friend. So they requested the website teams to stop and they informed them of his death. The website team replied them back saying that the person has subscribed to receive this email for another four years and they have no option to stop it. Meaning the guy has kept his records of sins un-closed and to be continued to reach his grave نعوذ بلله
May Allah forgive him and all our Muslim brothers, the living and the dead?
So playing online is dangerous. It can be for the good or for the worst as the story is. Contents online are circulated and forwarded, perhaps to the end of times or we can say as long as google is alive online. I often think as an example when we often say Allah's Treasures and Bounties are Endless, eternal & abyss. Just think about a content that’s uploaded online, if all the mankind till the end of times were to download it, let each one of them take a million share, still there will be no decrease of a bit from it. The file remains the same. If this is about one thing what Allah has given us, what to say about that He owns Himself? Of the treasure and bounties He has been spending since the creation of His creations till the eternity. سبحان الله
Internet is now like a market place. You have the good shops and the bad shops. A masjid and may be a theater aside.
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together:
(Shakespear)
It’s has all turned to be mixture now. We are destined to walk in the end of times through it and there seems no escape. Technology one after another is bombarded into our path. There seems no separation. What guides ahead is the light that separates the dark from the light. Of a Mercy from Allah and hope that He shall forgive us. From the day reality was realized, it was assured within, the fact that none shall be saved except by His mercy. A beggar’s pot in hand, in humiliation and a feeling of nothingness. Nothing to exchange for all His bounties but to beg further and hope for more.
….The question is …….‘ Do we carry at least that pot’
Be before Allah like the brothers of Hazrath Yusuf (a.s) who came to him begging in the end.
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلۡعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهۡلَنَا ٱلضُّرُّ وَجِئۡنَا بِبِضَـٰعَةٍ۬ مُّزۡجَٮٰةٍ۬ فَأَوۡفِ لَنَا ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَتَصَدَّقۡ عَلَيۡنَا (12:88
