In the name of Allah, The Most
gracious, most merciful
Fawad’s Concept of Freedom.
In the beginning, there were angels who prayed and obeyed
and did nothing out of their own will. They carried out all the tasks assigned to
them and acted upon every command that Allah gave them without any objections
what so ever. Then Allah created man, whom He placed higher than angels, for He
bestowed upon him KNOWLEGDE and information, CONSCIENCE and intellect, FREEDOM
and desire. Man was also issued guidelines and commands concerning how he
should live, but he wasn’t a slave (slave = one that is completely subservient
to a dominating influence) for he had freedom to desire and do what he desire.
That is right, man is able to do or rather tends to do
whatever he desires but a huge problem builds up here. Man is able to do as he desires, but no longer desire as he
desire….
As you see, desire is an extremely delicate thing. In my
opinion, desire is something that is formed from the conditioning of human mind
mixed with his knowledge, conscience and intellect. Now, consider a
hypothetical situation where someone can
manipulate the conditioning of one’s mind, control the sources of his knowledge
& information and influence his conscience; that someone can very well mould that certain individual’s desire and
indirectly control his activities as man tends to do what he desires. Thus,
that someone can reduce that
individual to a mere puppet, a pawn rather.
So what is my point? What if I say that such a practice is
underway already, in fact, underway for over a thousand years? Does this mean
that the man of today has been deprived of his freedom and is nothing more than
a slave? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. It is hard to believe, but the very
man who is so proud of his “FREE WILL” doesn’t know that it is not according to
his own will, in most cases.
But still there is one kind of freedom we are left with.
The freedom to choose our master. We have two options; either we can choose our
master to be our desire (which can very well be manipulated by someone) or we can choose our master to
be the Greatest Master of them all, The One Supreme Being; Allah. We can choose to be the slave of a slave or the slave of
the greatest King there was, is and ever will be.
However, gaining complete freedom is also not beyond reach.
But it requires WAR. The Jihad or rather, Jihad Bin Nafs. If you start and win
this war you may very well end up with your desire being transformed according
to the Guidelines the Almighty gave and such a desire is guaranteed to be pure,
for it is in accordance with the teachings of our beautiful religion. And yeah
one more thing, if you do this the Almighty Allah also promises you ABSOLUTE ETERNAL FREEDOM.
So what are we waiting for? Let The Wars Begin!
(Know them
& Get them, before they get you!)
Consider
this to be an Invitation…
Fawad.
