WHERE IS THE LOVE ?

Alhamdulillah Wassalatu wassalamu Alaa Rasulullah.

We need to wake up my brothers and sister, because we don’t even know where are we heading to
and the pitiful moment is we never take a break to ask our self what wrong with us, are we okay? or
we are just blindly chasing Layla [Dunya]. Are you just thinking that there is still a time but you have
forgotten that death will not give you a sign that it will come to you, have you forgotten that you will
be put into grave and you have to know that you will not be asked about your culture in your grave
and you will not be judged based on your father’s last name. When the trumpet blares there will be
no more kings, only slaves and your family traditions will not able to keep you safe, your language will
bring you no comfort on that day and no one will care about the kind of food your mother used to
make.

The angle of death does not discriminate,

Allaah said ‘’Everyone shall taste death’’ Q 3;185

No matter your ethnic group clan or race we were created from the exact same clay

Allaah said; ‘’And indeed We created man out of extract of clay’’ Q 23;12

Many nation have came before, many nation have been replaced, disgraced and erased so which one
of you feel safe and which one of you remembers what life was like back in the day when we used to
be brothers and we used to stand up for one another in the face of trouble, we used to love one
another and understand that your struggle is my struggle, we used to be one. A nation brought
together in praise under the morning sun for those who would dare, we would defend our right and
liberty we used to care before then about the orphans and anyone else in despair we used to believe
in justice but now what wrong with us, we also used to be fair, unity was not just a word but it was a
state of mind before states, nations and flags, we were mankind. From the same seed, we were
created into the same dirt and we shall return

Allaah said; ‘’O mankind! Be dutiful to your LORD, Who created you from a single person [Adam], and
from him [Adam], HE created his mate [Hawwa], and from them both he created many men and
women’’ Q 4;1.

But now we are diseased with innovation in the fire left to burn, we seek to please head of nations,
compromising what we’ve learned indeed this is a time of humiliation for those who are concerned
the state of our affairs is unbearingly absurd taking enemies as friends after the wrath they have
incurred empty threats and broken promises vision is becoming blurred you wanna raise your hand up
to the sky but most of you are unsure the end is coming near and only one can judge us, how can you
be sincere when you forgot your purpose ? This is the final frontier did you not think we would not be
tested ridiculed, abused, confused and arrested.

Allaah said; ‘’And certainly, we shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and
fruits, but give glad tidings to the patients’’ Q 2;155

Made to feel strange in a place that’s infested but blame is a game that they win uncontested we like
to huff and puff about all of our stuff being protected but what is the point in reading books when you
don’t understand the message they divide us and conquered but we used to be connected and you
don’t have to like us but you still had to respect us because every corner of the globe but we still face
in one direction standing row by row if not today then on the day of Resurrection when there will be
no protection without the permission of the one true GOD. Allahu Akbar [Allah is Greatest] because
we used to be brothers but today I’m only really your brother until I ask to make your sister my bride
or if I used to give you some cash always cause now a days it ain’t girl what your size, it’s girl what is
you tribe ? but what good are your eyes when Taqwa [GOD fearing] is colour blind and Alhamdulillah
[Praise be to Allah], praises is to the LORD of both you and I. Who created us from difference that we
may learn to love what is inside,

Allaah said; ‘’O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations
and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allaah is that
who has TAQWA [GOD fearing] Q 49;13.

And honored us with this religion [Islam],

Allaah said; ‘’This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you, and
have chosen for you Islam as your religion’’ Q 5;3.

That last of its kind and a Messenger with a message for all mankind, but I wonder what he would say
[PEACE BE UPON HIM] to know that his ummah has gone astray, He taught us how to behave but
today our character is so ugly that we don’t even spread Salaam, He even taught us how to pray, He
was the best to whoever came before so where is his example today?

He emphasized solidarity it seems like we have forgotten His way [PBUH], because we used to be
brothers but how many of you would leave your brothers on the front line to die, there are children in
Burma, Palestine and many places in the world getting buried alive its scary to think we change the
channel before we change our minds, there is no hope for a nation that is not unified, do you really
see me as your brother or am I just some guy?
Do you protect me or do you put me on trials because some of you are so stingy you won’t even
donate a smile, Subhanallah [Glorified is Allah], where is the Love?

The state of our Ummah is that we forgot where we came from but when your soul begins to quiver in
the shade of your battling chest you will see that this world was nothing but an illusion you were in,

Allaah said; ‘’The Life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment’’ Q 57;20

O children of Adam don’t be fooled by wicked men because there is only one GOD but enough people
don’t remember HIM, I am your reflection our connection is stronger than that of any election.

I seek protection in our LORD may He grant us direction, may He make us among those who love each
other for His sake, may He make us among those who will receive His shade and we ask to Allaah to
unite this Ummah and to keep us safe. AMEEN
