Appreciating those in society that worship, struggle to worship, praise and submit to God in his oneness is best not only for the one doing the act but the one helps the one doing the act and not making his path appear crooked.
Maybe God will shower blessings on the Helper.
In the midst of protests you are calling out in despair. Yet to who?
The slave and servant of Allah always calls out to Allah in despair as major part of Tawakkul HIS RELIANCE Upon the Creator.
Some people note the coherence, choice of words, grammar, historical facts, science, ring theory, rulings, sharia (norms, customs which sharia is). These are qualitative aspects but again can serve in reducing the Quran,
But what most people miss out is the in-quantifiable. As Shaykh Akram pointed out brilliantly, is that it touches the "Fitrah", makes people to think and is ultimately a guidance and instruction on how to worship your Lord and how to think. The sharia norms that are closely relatd to the ones own nature (Fitrah) that are explained (similar to Jewish laws) are expounded and linked with the Creator and Worship.
What i would like to add is that it touches all types of minds since the human mind is complex and how the Quran can touch and "change" so many individuals from the lowest to the highest stratas of society in keeping them guided and straight in their focus and life. That's is why putting ones own preconceived ideas on how a text should be cannot do it justice.
Ultimately the Quran was not revealed to "impress" to "entertain" (which is how it is used nowadays).
Similarly, how remaining fragments of the "Gospels" changed the Judeo-Christian world was not by impressing, but by its in-quantifiable impact.
When the white man looks upon a society he tends to look at it through a western context.
Some socities are pure and natural in that alot of the issues are to do with land disputes, tribal wars, honour killings (not related to woman per se) but honour of the tribe or name (family) and tribal codes.
These deep traditional issues are to do with implementing justice. Unfortunately imposing a dodgy white man court and dodgy politicians upon a people dosent always lead to the justice that family members deserve and threats to be avoided. Since day to day disputes and safety and security requires effective and swift deterants.
One of the main teachings of the prophets was virtues linked to God. Those characteristics that are good in themselves that lead to goodness are natural and linked to God you could say Angelic attributes for the people.
Natural in that they agree with the "Fitrah" (natural disposition) of Man.
Angelic in that they are the opposite of what is Evil.
The virtuous in society tend to be the upper classes, those with manners and goodness and it can be seen that they are separated from the lower classes in society. Character, virtues, goodness act as a gradient in society to the upper and lowest ends. In essence these attributes are deeply rooted in man. Highest of these attributes to believe and Worship God is what makes all these virtues True and are its pinnacle. Devoid of these attributes you get the "criminal class" in society, those feared by the people that destroy societies, that prey on the weak in one shape or form. You can see their "Law" in action within prison populations (their codes of conduct and punishment)
The Law the prophets brought embodied these virtues and provided constraints and bounds. These constraints and bounds also exist in the spiritual realm meaning that evil can be avoided without someone knowing it is actually evil. For example Ritual Purification, sex outside of marriage (devoid linking it to God), gambling, intoxication, Tarot cards, Wee Gee boards, sacrificing to Other than God Alone and idolatry
The Law the prophets brought and Taught would be recognized by ones nature (Fitrah) and linked to God. These boundaries provided guidance for ones soul and avoiding evil (sometimes the evil is apparent i.e. killing unjustly or sometimes not apparent as in the aforementioned)
Their teachings, warnings, purification themselves was the proof of their prophet-hood, As a truth seeking soul would tend towards what is good. Ultimately to accept the prophets. No collecting of converts required here, since we know the prophets were often killed and persecuted always in the minority. The masses pleased with living the animal life of getting paid, eating drinking, fulfilling their sexual desires and living in comfort. A type of indifference to life and death.
A soul that is arrogant, maybe evil would tend towards a philosophy that justifies their need desires. Maybe a philosophy that enables them to live in the status quo and tells them that they are good. One such example if the philosophies of the Hindu Gurus which allow the western man to fulfill this criterion and give their paganism justification. To live in Self worship as Gods.
The blessings of having the Gulf countries and Saudi as a source of employment for Pakistanis is much unappreciated by Pakistanis themselves. Without those countries remittances to Pakistan would be almost Zero the chaos and poverty within the population much exacerbated (for generations). 1 year work in Gulf/Saudi countries would equate to approximately 5-6 years within Pakistan. So do the Math.
For the unskilled Pakistani should
1. Make a plan
2. Pick a job :
https://beoe.gov.pk/foreign-jobs3. Struggle towards that plan in order to gain experience.
An example being, I am a Pakistani and want to be driver in Dubai.
Plan maybe to do laboring the Dubai for a year or two, gain relevant license in that duration, then apply for driving jobs. With experience and dedication pay goes up.
Lowest pay jobs tend to be from $300 per Month onward including accommodation and food.
EXpeienced from $600-$2000 ONWARDS (INCLUDING FOOD AND ACCOMMODATION)... ++++++
With the modern day race theory broadly resting on the Germanic people's ending with Hitler. It's with no surprise that the mother of the occult and devil worship Helen blavatsky mother of all that the atheists and pagans aspire to follow knowingly or unknowingly turns out to be a German herself.
ITS a shame the bloodshed of the germanic and brotonic peoples and theories (and their white descendants) have caused to this day... changing he creation to suit the end goals of the so CALLED the enlightened ones.
blavatsky was the most successful one to merge paganism, occult, satanism and race theories in order to attract the world to follow her. To this day even one of the most loved of people's David icke has even borrowed much from her.
I guess the roots of the attack on Islam can be founded somewhere in with principles of blvaskyism. With her appealing to her germamic pagan roots seeking solice In the Aryan mysticism of the East thus deriving her 'ideas' rooted in satanism, esotericism and so called enlightened thought. Racist .
