Direction

[Rochdi]

In every circularity, in every rounded or oval form; there is a center. In fact, in everything; there is a core! Neither northward, nor southward or westward! At least five times a day, we are directed eastward! Towards Makkah! To this direction, to this specific spot we turn, at least five times a day! Imagine the number of people around the world; all the Muslims prostrating themselves before their Lord and making Sujood in the same direction! A distinction, a peculiarity and a sign of unity! We are like One Single Body and we are summoned to direct ourselves to Al Masjid Al Haram in order to perform our Salaat!

"To Allah belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."

Like the heart within the chest, Makkah and all what it symbolizes is the core of the planet; the soul of the Ummah! Truth is there! This is the right direction! You won’t lose your way! You won’t be astray! “Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and a guidance for the worlds.”

 

  “Sin-city” exists, it does implement the principals of the devil, it celebrates moral deprivation and it commemorates materialistic triumph! The devil is there! His throne is there!

  “Sin-city” is the emblem of rebellion; a revolt against the Message sent from up above! “We are free!” “No one has the right to dictate his will upon us!” “No one will take our freedom from us!”

  Immorality, lack of essence…”Sin-city” has been fed by the evil which exists within man! All those whispers, inciting him to act against the will of His Lord, have shaped the architecture of the city! Now he is walled up, entangled by his own blindness!  

Yes we are free! Of course, no one has the right to take our freedom from us! Of course! But we were not brought to the world just for the sake of fulfilling some selfish desire, or walking arrogantly on the land of The Master and praising his enemy; our enemy; the devil!

 

  Allah has made the path clear for us! He Subhaanhau Wa Ta’ala Has shown us the way! It’s crystal clear! Success is in the direction that He Himself, has chosen for us! Success is in the establishment of His Deen! Follow your nafs, listen to the whispers of the shaytaan and you’ll be lost!
