Assalam o alaikum. Juma Mabarak with a gentle reminder to recite Al Kahf or part of it for protection against our enemy.
Hands of our enemy have strengthened with ideas like women emancipation and electronic rectangular screens (TV, cinema, computer or smart phones). Now he has access to our drawing rooms and palms of our kids. The time of deceit is here. Seeds of Dajl (deceit) have been sown. Grounds are prepared for the arrival of Dajjal. That's the half empty part. Half full part is Mehdi & Isa AS shall also arrive to counter this menace. The only downside of dajjali fitna is that even people of Imaan shall find themselves in a fix. It would be extremely difficult to tell the difference between right and wrong. It seems that we are already there. If dajjal is a figurative entity then it is already here in its infancy. And if it means physical being then the stage is set.
How do we prepare for such testing times? The start point should be through awareness. Whether the peak of this fitna is weeks or centuries away, we ought to prepare our next generation(s) for the herculean task ahead. Understanding and recitation of Al Kahf is one of the protective layers around our defenses of Imaan.
Coming over to today's Ayah No 6 which is continuation of Ayah 5. Allah swt showing his mercy through the mercy of Prophet SAW. Mercy of Prophet is at an ultimate level. For those who out of ignorance have taken Prophet of Allah, Isa AS as his son and others who wouldn't believe, Prophet SAW was so concerned that Allah swt had to intervene and asked him not be so hard on himself. Prophet SAW having seen the 'other side', knew the implications. His SAW's concerns about everyone including you and me binds us into an amazing relation. Centuries before our birth, He SAW prayed and cried for us. This makes Him SAW dear to us more than our parents and children. We must also take away this lesson from His life to be merciful. We need to learn to be forgiving by raising of tolerance levels. We need a lot of tolerance in our society.
May Allah help us. Ameen
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
