Changing of the nations’ condition:
Reciting the Quranic verse:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ
(Allah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves); the great Sunni leader pointed out the ways by which the condition of a nation is changed.
Shaikh said that Allah almighty gifts some one property, status, wealth, ruling over a country and many other blessings, Almighty Allah neither wants to snatch these blessings with out any reason nor it suits him to do it, similarly there is an other divine law that:
لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ
(When your Lord proclaimed: “If you give thanks, I will give you more; but if you are thankless, verily, my punishment is indeed severe.)
It means when a nation becomes thankless for the blessings given them by God so they don’t deserve it to have for more time, the history of past nations proved that spiritual or materialistic blessings were snatched from them because they were thankless to their God.
Specialty of the era of prophet’s companions (RA):
The time of Sahaba (prophet’s companionsرضی اللہ عنهم) was a very distinguished time indeed that they were very thankful to their God, they worshiped Him nicely, then they were rewarded also with ruling over the vast land, as a great part of this world was under their power, but as soon as Sahaba (RA) passed away, after them other kings came to rule over such territories, they went far away from the Quranic & Prophet hood teachings and didn’t thank to their God so they faced many problems and fought with each other, their power was used against each Islamic state, thus non Muslim came over Islamic territories and defeated Muslims, certainly they were punished due to their own deeds.
Maintenance of regimes is guaranteed by good deeds:
‘Today many rulers in the Middle East depend on the Western powers to remain in power. But they can not abide before masses’ power. If ‘Hosni Mubarak was a loyal president, his nation would never reject him, but he did not solve their problems, in fact the nation didn’t make mistake rather they fulfilled their duties, whereas the rulers were failures,’ Khateeb of the Sunnis added.
‘Most of the times rulers think that their government can be strengthened if they serve the European rulers, they should know that every thing is in the hand of Allah almighty, e.g. the family of “Shah” was ruling over the entire Iran, they considered that Iran is their property, but now where is “Shah” and where is his government, as he was examined in past similarly the present rulers are also tested by God almighty, rather each and every one is tested. If we practice a good deed and remain thankful to God almighty, verily Allah almighty will never take back His blessings from us, rather He increases such blessings,’ Shaikh concluded.
