The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a Guidance for the people(mankind) & clear proofs of Guidance & Criterion.
We hear recitation of the glorious Qur’an every night in our masaajid this month & Muslims will recite the Qur’an as much as we can. The question is, are we taking this Qur’an as a Huda and Furqaan in our Ummah’s affairs?
The sad truth is that we have not. For decades now, laws and rules that are not from Islam have governed our countries.
Rulers who are the most corrupt of men in the Ummah have run our countries. They have ruled us by laws based on secularism (kufr)
Our political systems have been dominated by dictators who have unilaterally made oppressive laws.
Similarly so called democrats who have collectively made laws in parliament to suit their interests and benefits.
In all cases we have seen a political system ravaged by corruption, nepotism, cronyism and slavery to western powers. Our economies have been enslaved to the capitalist states that have treated our counties simply as ‘markets’. The rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer. Poverty, lack of decent public services, mass unemployment & no industrialization is the legacy of decades of economic mismanagement, despite, Muslims being blessed with dedicated human resources, vast agricultural lands & huge reserves of natural gas, oil, coal & minerals. This situation has occurred after the Qur’an was removed from our public life and just left to guide us in our salat and fasting (personal matters), Whilst the Qur’an is recited in our masaajid, our political, economic & social lives has been led by manmade laws and capitalism. As an Ummah we have been aimlessly running from one western policy to another, from one institution to another, We need to look to the Islamic system to solve our problems, which is consistent with our beliefs, culture, history and heritage.
“Do you, then, believe in one part of the Book and reject the other?” (TMQ Surah Baqarah: 85)
“And We have revealed to you the Book explaining all matters” (TMQ Surah An-Nahl: 89)
“And rule them by what Allah has revealed and follow not their desires away from the Truth that has come to you” ( Surah Maidah: 48)
These ayaat clearly illustrate that this Qur’an came to address all of our affairs. it has been relegation of Qur’an to individual acts & neglect of societal rules which has led this Ummah to this state of affairs. Have the decades of implementing man-made western laws and systems brought any goodness to our Ummah?
It cannot be right that we worship Allah in our fasting & salah yet take Shaytan & his allies to lead us in the rest of our affairs!
As we fast this month, ummah is crying desperately for real change. This change will not come unless we take Qur’an as our guidance
