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.
 

Balance of Nature

" An octopus lays more than 200,000 eggs at a time. Imagine the number of octopi in the waters if it was not for small fish to feed on their eggs? The crocodile lays upto 90 eggs at one time. Imagine the population of the reptiles if it was not for birds, fishes and other small predators (which the same crocodiles would feed on when they are full grown) which would hunt and eat the baby crocodiles.

You will find it interesting but if the shark population is disturbed, it will effect the population of its prey, and in this case the jellyfish. If the jellyfish population exceeds, it adds onto the global warming as the bacteria cannot absorb well the biomass of the jellyfish and rather than consuming their decay the bacteria egress out more carbon dioxide, a known greenhouse gas.

To convey the point, nature has its way of maintaining a balance.

And while this is obvious in the animal world, we, the people, ignore the fact that similar laws of nature prevail our human world as well. The world sustains itself on the goodness of a few. Nature has its way to maintain the balance as it pleases to be.

Do the evil, the tyrants, the cruel and the arrogant, in professional and personal, in individual and collective capacity, think there is no check and balance over them? The Quran says in Surah Al Baqra (02), Ayah 251:

"Were it not for Allah's repelling some men with others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures."

That is why when there was a Kabeel, there was a Habeel (AS), when there was a Jalut, there was a Dawood (AS), when there was a Firaun, there was a Musa (AS), when there was a Nimrud, there was an Ibrahim (AS), when there was an Abu Sufyan, there was a Muhammad (SAW), when there was a Mawya and an Amroo ibn Abd Wad, there was an Ali (AS) and when there was a Yazid, there was a Hussain (AS).

We must decide which part of nature do we want to fall into, the party creating chaos, or the party struggling to bring back to the world, its order.

Today when you see around yourself, you see the ISIS beheading innocents and you see the world powers bombing the ISIS, when you see the world powers bombing the innocents, you see a retaliatory group avenging them. The balance of nature must always maintain itself and every rising nation must fall, as did the Portuguese, the Romans, the English, the Mughals, the Caliphate, the Mongols, the Soviets.

Therefore, the tyrants and those who create Fitnah, those who oppress and the arrogant, should never be in doubt that there is no check and balance on them. Whenever the Dajjal will rise, Allah will send the Mahdi (AS).  "
