There can be no higher state of confusion and misperception
about religion, God and his messenger in
any other society than the one which haunt Pakistani society. Glorifying and
magnifying the powers of Almighty though such pity things in which there is no
such indication given by the Almighty. The most obvious examples are the regularly
uploaded pictures on social media, taken from some positions of cloud, water,
plants and other objects of nature in which they try to show an analogy with
the name of Almighty or that of the holy
prophet. The dangerous aspect of the attitude is that they interpret things
which God has never wanted so ,that too with a view to gain rewards for the
same from the almighty in the hereafter.
It were a decade ago when interpretation of the name of Coca
Cola was started by some interested quarters. They held that if the same term
is viewed in mirror the inverted image will read.”LA MUHAMMAD LA MAKKA” (there
is no Mohmmad,the prophet nor Makka). The same message was widely circulated
and even posters of the same were pasted on doors of eth mosques. Now what
the company has to do with such a
message, that too in the inverted form? For a sensible man, conversant with the
English fonts styles, there is nothing wrong nor there can be any such motives
of the company behind the term.
There is no denying the fact that the said company has its
origin in a non-Muslim country, but it is a multinational company which has no
religious or political ambitions except earnings and profits seeking. Such
firms always try their best to avoid controversial issues let alone directly
challenging the creed of a religious community which constitute a large section
of its consumers.
With the advent of the social media, many other forms of such frenzy have become popular. It has become easier for such mindset to propagate their objects easily through the social media, they simply capture the image and post the same, it then gains a large propagation by this mindset.
Image of anything such cloud, mountain, water,
fruit etc is taken and effort is made to show that name of God or that of the
holy prophet has been naturally engraved in it.
In some images contribution of human is too obvious to be
noted and makes one laugh of their stupidity, yet they promote the same with
passionate zeal. One wonders what would be the objectives of such mindset. They
neither spare the natural movement of clouds nor the growth of a tree branches,
in each of these things they try to seek an open projection by Almighty of his
name.
it is interesting to note that such posts accompany serious
directives such as,” whosoever is Muslim must share”, “only non Muslims will
not share it”, “if you love God then share it” so on and so forth.
If a critical glance is cast at these things, it yields a
number of questions. Some of them are of more serious nature. Firstly no
sensible human can deny the fact that God is the creator of the whole universe
and all the objects within it. Whichever religion does one practice, but belief
in the omnipresence and omniscience of Almighty is primary to him. This done, one must be convinced of the fact
that if God has created human and million other species of animals and the
universe before us, He can do anything he desires. But God, being a superior
being has a different temperament than the humans which are but his creatures.
He does not do nor like things which we human like and expect. He can turn the
whole universe into the shape of his own name or that of the holy prophet if
God desires so, but this attitude is foreign to nature of almighty Allah.
Now intentionally interpreting things the way Allah has not
wanted them so, are indeed going against his will. Attempts to glorify almighty
though such pity things is not a glorification rather a disservice and amount
to belittle His powers. Because if He intends to show his power he can change
the whole universe into the image of his name. But he does not want to do so as these acts
are of no importance to Him. The very body of human being itself speaks volumes
of God’ greatness and is a proof of a great creator.
Attempts to seek God thorough sings and trails wherein he
does not want to project himself reflects our lack of direction and confusion
and a state in which we have lost sight of his presence and omnipresence.
Because He himself says,” I m closer to you than the vein of your throat” but
yet his presence is not noticed and the same is sought somewhere in the curved
position of clouds, plumage, natural position of tree branches or again in the
fruits. It is therefore that most of our acts reflect a total disregard of the
presence of almighty, and as an act of atonement we seek Him in the objects
mentioned above.
