<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">If we have illness in our house, if we are facing a court case or if someone close to us has an accident and he or she is seriously injured, then apart from using all our abilities, energies and influences we essentially attach lot of hope with our One and Only true Lord who makes the sun shine after a dark night, changes the bad times of persons into good times and blesses them. If we expect any miracle then that is from Him only. Before anyone’s operation, before going to attend a court-proceeding or at the time of admitting any of our relative in the hospital, we donate charity money or carry out ‘Sadqa’. Old ladies start reciting more of Holy Qur’an. If all the doctors in the world are not giving us hope, then a sort of emergency is applied. Everyone in the house starts offering ‘dua’. It then appears that the whole house is begging for help from one corner. A pious person is asked to pray for the ailing person or a never-ending series of charities is started. During all this process, if even a little hope is seen then the heads are bowed down in gratitude.<br /><br />This attitude of people is not limited to the followers of any sect. This trend is observed in such households as well whose dwellers are not found visiting mosques over long periods, whose whole lives are spent around their personal, financial, social and family gains. Or who are drowned in excessive entertainment activities all their lives. Even if such people are shown the door of Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem, then they immediately get ready. They never argue that doctors are the ones who can make a difference only, what can prayers do? Or they do not say that we have corruption everywhere in Pakistan, police has spoilt their case. In spite of knowing everything they do not lose hope in Almighty ALLAH and approach Him for help.<br /><br />This trend is found in all of the 18 crore people of this nation, for every fatal disease, at the time of a very risky operation and in the face of every hopeless court case. However, how surprising it is, how amazing is it that the whole nation understands very well that their disease has become fatal. They have lost hope against any such person who can solve their issues. They are not able to see any hope for this national court case. There is a sea of disappointment and despair which is flooding the whole nation but we don’t love this country and its future as much as we love any of our blood relative. In our mosques, Madressahs, schools, colleges, courtyards of our houses and grounds, we don’t see any signs of emergency. We are contended with the thought and think that if there is not any doctor, Messiah or problem-solver available, then the patient (this country God Forbid) should die. Or as an alternative, we should slowly continue to die a painful death moment by moment. Why does anyone amongst us not fall down in solitude at night before ALLAH ALMIGHTY to seek His Divine Help? If anyone in our house falls ill and doctors become hopeless then we give up many bad habits so that our prayers are answered. We stop indulging in excessive merry-making, do not lie, do not deceive, we are very much inclined towards helping the poor in order to earn ALLAH’s blessings, we seek forgiveness of our sins and promise to God that if He shows a miracle, if He grants health to their loved ones, if He grants them victory in their court case then we will not commit such sins again. The irony is that in the face of current catastrophic situation which we are bearing collectively as a nation, we are doing everything which is taking us away from ALLAH. We speed up our worldly endeavors. We advise that we should build reservoir of stocks in our homes, shift our businesses to those parts of the world where they are safe. Convert our currency to the form of gold and silver so that you can benefit from it in future. A race is on to acquire the nationality of any other country, even if it requires selling everything we have. We are so much drowned in our worldly feats to counter the bad times that we are madly busy building up piles of corruption money and taking the best advantage of this time, we are moving towards extreme form of corruption so that the money hoarded by us today can benefit us tomorrow.<br /><br />All these people don’t know that for this country Pakistan, the emergency bell had rung much earlier. When the warning of an emergency is announced then many well-wishers and organizers call out to people that they should do something, go to safe places, secure your homes, close your windows! But when due to the wrong deeds of a nation ALMIGHTY ALLAH applies emergency then the callers only raise one slogan. REPENTANCE – COLLECTIVE REPENTANCE!! ALLAH’s actions are not alterable and they fall under fate. But he has authority over His decisions and He only wants from the people to cry before Him by breaking their idols of pride and prejudice in order to seek forgiveness for their sins. People say why mercy is not being shown to us. Is God not Merciful? People of faith then ask them whether they have sought mercy from ALLAH. Have you cried in front of Him for not practicing faith, for your sins and for straying away from the right path? Our attitude for this country is not even like a close friend or relative for whom when we visit to inquire about their health, we essentially pray to ALLAH for speedy recovery and don’t tell them that they should ask some elderly person to pray. Nobody is aware in this country that ALLAH has launched an emergency here since two years. During this emergency He is only observing whether people turn towards Him for cure/treatment or not! How can this emergency be cured? Sayyed-ul-Anbia (S.A.W.W.) is the last Prophet. Before him other Prophets (as) used to announce an emergency that ALLAH is not pleased with you. How should we know now? Sayyed-ul-Anbia (S.A.W.W.) has told us about that also. He stated: “After me, there is not anything left in prophet hood except Mubsharaat.” Someone asked: “O Rasool ALLAH what is Mubsharaat?” The Prophet (pbuh) replied: “Good dreams which a person sees or is made to see.” (Bukhari). “And the dream of a Muslim is the 45th part of Prophethood”. (Bukhari). He said: “When the time of judgment day is near, then the dreams of Muslims will be very less refutable.” (Bukhari). These dreams are continuously being seen by thousands of people in this country. Dreams of the same kind, dreams of change are being seen by truthful and honest people in this country. That is why since two years alarm bells are being raised that this is emergency, run towards ALLAH’s help, seek the tool of COLLECTIVE REPENTANCE to seek His blessings, but on the other side people had their heads high so they ignored that call. Now such dreams are being seen that the patient is about to be moved to operation theatre. The tumors have to be removed from the cancer affected body. Impure existence, thorny bushes and poisonous plants are about to be treated but such an operation is very frightening. It has been ordered to give a call once again for collective repentance. Even if they ridicule you, treat this as a joke but carry out the responsibility of the pen. Before you have to stand in front of ALLAH tomorrow for your silence and there many will be answerable to ALLAH for their worst form of silence.</span></div>
