We believe that a true and comprehensive
understanding of Islam would not be possible without careful recognition of the
Prophetic Tradition and the Prophet's Household. And Allah is the Source of Strength.
Look Ahead
" When driving a car or a bike, one must look ahead. If we are looking anywhere else we know the end result. If our look ahead visibility is very low, then again the probability of an accident is very very high. The only way to consciously drive safely is to have a very clear view of what is ahead of you on the road, so that you can maneuver accordingly and make driving decisions accordingly. Without this clear look ahead, your driving skills, your safety precautions (seat belts etc) will not save you.
That is why that when the Quran was revealed on the heart of Prophet (SAW), he clearly gave every one the view of the future and what lay ahead of people, the Qayamat.
Those who trust the promise of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and can see this Qayamat in their look ahead, make choices accordingly. Those who cannot see what is ahead of them, will continue to ram their vehicle in the pitfalls the devil continues to blockade our paths with.
While we still have the opportunity to breath, we must raise our heads from our low desires and we must look what is ahead of us, a day when the trumpet is blown and the mountains are carried away as dust, and the sun is covered and the stars darken, the heaven becomes like molten copper and the animals left unattended and the seas catch fire, when the hell will be kindled and graves are laid open, and the earth is shaken with a violent shaking, and all of us will be questioned."
