Ever wondered why most of the nations in Islamic world is in fire? Is it because Allah is testing us? Good thought to fool ourselves out but why do we fail to realise that it is the wrath of Allah and we are being punished for our deeds? How many of us even think when handing over our servants their wages that is it possible for them to run their household in this amount of money? How conveniently do we ignore the basic rights of those who work hard to serve us, we shout at them, yell at them, abuse them and all sorts of other things to crush their self respect and at the end of the year, give them Zakat so that they remain indebted to us forever. Is it a good way of retiring the obligation of Zakat by using it to enslave other humans who are equal to us in the eyes of our Lord? Why our hearts don’t bleed when we come across the news that in Pakistan, a father has asked his son and daughters to consume poison before committing suicide himself because he was unable to feed his family? Why don’t we see that 14 years old girl who was raped by the gang of ruling political party in Pakistan as our own sister or daughter? And why do we chose to ignore the people in Syria, Yemen and Iraq losing their lives due to hunger and poverty?
If we carry on with our lavish lifestyles despite the anger in the masses being spiralled, soon there will be the day when our kids will go to school with our driver and will never return home because the poor driver could not tolerate our luxuries and slaughtered them. Or our security guards will kill our family and take whatever they could from our houses. Or the maid we have for cooking will mix poison in our meals because she lost her sanity because she couldn’t afford to feed her kids despite working like a slave.
I guess it’s time to wake up, but will you?
