ISLAM IS STRANGE!!!
By Sh Sa’eed ‘Awadh
------------------

We notice these days that the one who adheres to his religion, maintains the commandments of Allaah and follows the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam appears very abnormal and strange, and many people are shocked by his appearance and his words. Not only that, some would actually dispraise and blame him, saying that he is not upon the correct path, and that he is an extremist.

This situation saddens the believer, but he must know that this is the way of the ways of Allaah, by which He tests the believers, to expose the truthful from the liars.

By adhering to the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, and following his guidance, you will be tested and face many difficulties, but if you persevere you will have great reward in the Hereafter.

Servants of Allaah! Allaah says, which means, “So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth – except a few of those We saved from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals.” (Hood: 116) It is a call from Allaah to the people that they should have a group amongst them who enjoin good and forbid evil when people become corrupted, and such people are the ones who will be saved from the punishment of Allaah in this life and the Hereafter. But who are these people? What are their descriptions?

They are the strangers, who rectify what people ruin. They are the ones who the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, mentioned in different Ahaadeeth, as when he said, “Islam started as a stranger (few people believing in it) and it will eventually go back to being a stranger as it started (few people adhering to it), so Toobaa for the strangers”. The companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, asked these strangers were, so the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said, “They are those who maintain themselves upon righteousness when people become corrupt” (Ahmad), (Toobaa is a tree in Paradise which takes a person riding on horseback one hundred years to pass its shade). read more
