Today, I met
a friend from Yemen and had a small conversation with him regarding the
situation in Yemen and Arab world. He told me that thousands have lost their
lives because of their rebellion against the king, the king who solely ruled
their land for more than three decades.
Similar is the case with other Arab nations. The Arab kings did not like
this rebellion and they ordered that anyone who will rebel against their supremacy
will be killed. Till now they have killed thousands. These kings ruled those
countries for years, almost all of them for more than 30 years. They were use
to of this kingship. They ordered to kill anyone who was trying to take away
this kingship from them. They thought that their supremacy will and should last
forever. But until now some of them have died and some are finding a safe exit.
Human history is full of such incidents. All this took my thoughts somewhere
else. I started comparing these kings with another King, the solitary King of
this universe. It reminded me how merciful and compassionate is The King of heavens
and earth. It reminded me how abundant and eternal is the mercy of the most
gracious King of east and the west. It reminded me how much The King, The Lord,
Our God loves His creature. The
brutalities of these Arab kings towards the rebels, made me humble before The
King of this Universe.
In His
World, there are a lot of them, who rebel against Him. Let alone rebels, there
are those who even deny His existence. And yet there are people like me, who even
after knowing and accepting Him from head, heart and tongue, disobey Him. But
all Praise to Him, all these rebels are living in His beautiful world, and He is
giving them all the time before He will judge them in the hereafter. He is showing
them all kind of signs to come back to Him and turn away from their rebellion. But He is not killing these rebels on their
rebellion. He is not punishing them for their arrogance and ignorance. He loves
His creature.
Yes, He is
the most gracious and the most merciful King of this world. Yes, His mercy is
eternal and abundant. Only His solitary supremacy and Kingship will last forever
and no rebellion can take it away from him. I feel humble before Him for his
mercy and pray to Him that
‘O Lord, forgive me for my sins, forgive me for
my rebellious nature, and forgive me for taking your abundant and eternal mercy
for granted, for that I am weak, but I belong to you and only you’.
Aaamir Bhai. This is EPIC <3
ReplyDelete:) wow...brilliant
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone :)
ReplyDeletedear Aamir i will say it was a good attempt but it was strange and hard to know the exact reason behind this effort, what you wanted to convey ... if it was God's grandeur then it is doubtless ... I feel comparing God (Allah) with kings is no good ... as comparison of creator and creation is not a good subject ... whether someone accepts His presence or not does not effect his existence and His eternal kingship ... ;)but it is a good exercise with words to express wht all of us think ... thanks and God bless you ...
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Asim bhai for your Comment. In principle i agree with your thoughts. There is certainly no match between the creator and creation. And i had this reservation while writing. I also understand that God has created this world on the rule of Test.
ReplyDeleteHowever, my whole point was to convey the feelings i had when i realized how great is our Lord in comparison to these worldly kings, how powerful He is and still how Merciful He is. The whole point was the abundant and eternal Mercy of God in this world for His creation.
thanks a lot for your comment. It definitely helped me refine my thoughts and improve my writing.
