Mockery Of Islam By Shayk Yunus Patel

There are many people who, despite their
claims to Islam, seek to find fault with or
disparage its teachings or beliefs, or make a
mockery of Islam.
In the early days, we use to travel to India by boat.
It took us 21 days to reach Bombay. During my third
year, when I was travelling back to India, I met a
doctor on board the boat.
In conversation he said to me: “Shayk, you people
talk about the angels; that each person has an angel
on his right shoulder and on his left shoulder and
these angels record the deeds of a person. If this is
the situation, then our shoulders would have been so
broad that we would not have found a coat to fit us!”
In turn, I questioned him: “You must have attended
school?”
He replied : “Yes.”
I asked: “From class one to SS3?”
He replied : “Yes.”
I said : “You furthered your studies, doing medicine?”
Again, he said : “Yes.”
I continued: “You attended University, travelled to
different countries? I am sure you remember all this?”
I said : “If I were to take you to your hometown, you
will remember much. All this knowledge which you
acquired during your life, through your studies and
travels, where is it? It is stored in your brain. Yet, if
the situation is as you say it is, your head would
have been so big that you would not have found a
hat to fit it.”
Alhamdulillah, Allah Ta’ala put this response in my
mind, which Insha-Allah, disproved the person’s
crooked mentality and thinking.
…
Sarcasm or cynicism in regards to Deen is
extremely dangerous. It takes one to the
threshold of Kufr; sometimes even out of the
fold of Islam. If a person says that he believes,
it means that he hears and understands and
accepts that there are many things which are
beyond the human intellect. Imaan is “bil
ghayb” (in the unseen).
There are many things which we do not see, but
which we believe exists. The air that we breath, the
different bacteria and germs in the atmosphere,
which the eye does not see, but science has informed
us of its existence or we see the signs of it. The signs
of Allah Ta’ala are all around us; even in us.
“On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, As
also in your own selves : Will you not then see?”
[Surah Zariyat 51 : 20/21]
We may not see the angels, or the pulsiraat, or
Jannah and Jahannum, but Rasulullah (Sallallaahu
‘alayhi wasallam) was the one who saw the unseen.
And our Imaan is in Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wasallam).
Just as it is the duty of the blind person to put his
hand into the hand of the one who sees – that is, if
he wants direction, guidance and wants to reach his
destination safely, so too, it is our duty to put our
hands into the hand of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wasallam) – meaning that we hear, accept and obey.
Otherwise, criticizing and mocking any aspect of
Deen is indirectly mocking or finding fault with the
Creator of the Deen; with grievous consequences.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us the understanding, as well
as appreciation for the beautiful and perfect Deen of
Islam.
