Today's Superheroes
Are The Sinners

Shanjida Haidar

 

_How you may ask?!! We are definitely facing projahiliyyah max powered by End of times. Not long ago, we had earthquakes as the thick of the healing from our Covid 19. At least 5-6 end-of-time signs are there dangling in front of our eyes…

 

But remember this ayah –

 

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

 

“All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners are those who repent”

 

The challenge for us is not to be like our superhero Shahabas. But at least strive for it.

 

Even though families are broken, divorces are happening, and corruption is overspread despite all the obstacles and objections we do know and we do hold our moral standards to ourselves. It’s just time to put our trust, sacrifice, affection, and adoration in the right direction.

And how we are supposed to do that without deeds?

 

Every child of Adam (as), the one who’s able to guard his/her tongue, the one who does not resort to avenge in the first stroke on the battlefield of life, The one who promises not to reply to abuse with abuse and if so happens the one who’s able to stand on his feet like a glorious knight and apologize like he/she has nothing to lose.

 

The one who’s able to hold on to faith in defiance of all these doubts and confusions, The one who decides not to disrespect parents even with differences and toxicities. And the list goes on. These are our superheroes of this time and age.

 

This is not the time to fight with nations and strike our knives to reproduce the members of a lost generation. The hardest battle for us will always be fighting our own demons.

 

Could there be any superheroes without a purpose and destination in life?

 

"O mankind, there has to come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the hearts and guidance and mercy for the believers." (Surah Yunus, Ayah 57)

 

Choose permanent nobility in the midst of triviality. And that can only happen if we follow Quran and Sunnah correctly. why settle for confusion? Study the Quran and the sunnah at your own pace, read tafsir, ask questions, and seek knowledge.

 

Let’s see what the best of mankind has to say about this:

 

Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him.”
