If the Divine can have adversaries, who are we to expect otherwise? In this world, individuals will invariably choose whom to support and whom to oppose. We inhabit a society where wisdom is often silenced, ignorance speaks with eloquence, and truth is distorted to appease the ears it encounters.
It seems more prudent to nourish a dog than to feed humanity; a dog, when fed daily, expresses gratitude and remains loyal, while a man, once deprived of sustenance, may label you as cruel, castigate you, or render you inhumane. As the Holy Qur'an reminds us, “Man was created in haste” (Quran 21:37).
In this tumultuous landscape, it is imperative for each individual to fortify themselves daily against the hasid (the envious) and the malevolent gaze of those who harbor ill intentions.
In a class of students, everyone avoided Isatou without knowing she is deaf. Before it was known to them, almost half of the class have already labelled her as "rude, pompous, doesn't socialize, etc..." The moral of my article today is to ask before we judge. The Holy Bible tells us "Ask, it shall be given. Seek, you'll find, and knock, it shall be opened," Mathew 7:7.
Before casting judgment upon the seemingly madman, one must seek to understand the roots of their madness. Many individuals in our society have succumbed to insanity due to spiritual battles waged against them by the forces of darkness. Yet, we often judge them without comprehending their narratives.
When a life is lost, and the cause remains shrouded in mystery, let us pray for the departed rather than speculate on their eternal fate. When someone loses their livelihood, let us inquire before we pass judgment. The truth does not require embellishment to be acknowledged.
Our society has become so polarized that the middle ground has all but vanished; one is either entrenched in the far-left or the far-right. People are quick to judge, and falsehoods propagate with alarming speed, often outpacing the truth. Content creators, in their haste to produce viral materials, frequently overlook the depth of understanding required to convey meaningful narratives that are truthful.
I hold a deep appreciation for open-minded individuals who can perceive situations from multiple perspectives. The more enlightened one becomes, the more one recognizes the value of silence. While many are quick to judge, we must refrain from condemning others’ choices without grasping their motivations. I strive to cherish existence and all that it encompasses.
Some may withhold their support out of intimidation by your potential. If power and wealth breed arrogance, illness and mortality will serve as humbling reminders of our transient nature. The reason you may be unfamiliar with certain relatives is often tied to your financial status; acquire wealth, and you may find them eager to introduce themselves.
Be so steadfast in your character that those who seek to tarnish your name lose credibility in their attempts.
No one ascends to prominence without navigating a landscape littered with adversity, climbing mountains of opposition from both jinn and mankind. Have you ever paused to ponder the questions: Why? How? When? What is the underlying reason for these occurrences?
“Powerful individuals cannot afford to educate those they oppress, for once true education is attained, the oppressed will not seek power; they will seize it.” — John Henrik Clarke.
In this age of self-entitlement and misinformation, let us fortify ourselves with knowledge, compassion, and understanding, striving to transcend the divisions that plague our society.
