The Taqua of Marriage

Unfortunately, prayers do not plow fields, provide energy, build weapons,
direct armies, establish useful sciences, navigate air or sea, manufacture and
distribute the necessities of life, educate doctors and engineers, relieve those
struck by natural disaster, build bridges and hospitals or produce medicines.
Only men and women of knowledge can do these things. So then, Who is
doing the things just mentioned? Muslims?
As stated previously, the Islamic perspective is a unified total
embracement of all truth. Therefore, Muslims should rise from prayer mats
and embrace the truth wherever it is found by running to it, and it will meet
them before they’ve taken the next step. To be aware of and partake in this
renaissance is an advantage intended by Allah, for He will surely guide us in
its use. But how can Allah SWT guide those who do not know He has placed
in their hands, loins and physiology those gender specific attributes and
calling cards that only guide mankind when collectively utilized with
wisdom? This implies that the largest sects amongst the ummah are not
those who attend silly religious ideations, but rather those who attend the
gender divide of Male and Female.
Ignorance must be removed as it is an obstacle in the path of Muslims
causing great harm. Pre-occupation with hair-splitting religious ideations
(minutia of no significance) causing sectarianism is one of Shaitain’s most
successful methods wherein men create the many mirages of chauvinism with
vistas of heavenly reward at the cost of earthly good. In addition, Iblis creates
another mirage called ‘progress’ at the cost of heavenly reward. The irony is
that both methods are extremes that destroy opportunities for men to fulfill
their destiny for good in both worlds. Therefore, the purpose of knowledge is
to prevent Shaitain from hijacking Muslims with fantasies in order to preserve
Allah’s intended form for the polity of His ‘best of all people’. To proceed
with the natural course of events in a state of ignorance will surely not guide
us to virtue’s mandate for this success.
However, considering the Prophet said that his generation was the “Best”
and that each succeeding generation would stray further, I’ve not much hope
that this book will be of value to “the many” of Ibn Khaldun’s concern, but
only for those few who attend the white thread of dawn in order to preserve
their microcosmos from chaos until their appointed day of return.
