NAJWAT: Attributes that depicts those whom are shielded from the odds of end time- Sheik Araokanmi

Yesirat Kazeem

The sermon preached by the Chief Missioner, NAJWAT on First Sunday in July, was centered on what Allah said in Surah Asr that there are four things that guide a believer from the dangers of endtime.

Sheik AbdulSalaam said, “At the end time, people will be in distress, in the state of lack and abundance, as they are happy so they are sad; in a state of hunger and fulfilment; in a healthy state and sickness; amongst the scholars will be those who have bad characters that cannot be shown to the world.

Hence, there will be no one to enjoin good and forbid bad due to scholars who has gone off the doctrine of the Deen. Those whom are never thought to be of good character will be appreciated due to the good deeds they act upon.

Amongst the rulers will be traitors; while those who have been tagged to be wrongdoer will be seen engaged in notable good deeds.
“At this period of end time, the leaders of believer will be seen doing bad act like deity worshipping, thus the idol worshippers will be seen coming to embrace Islam.

Lately, you see leaders of the faithful attending the festivals of Idolators. This is not the practice of a believer, we are enjoined not to partake in idolatry acts, thence, if you have a parent who worship idol, as a Muslim you can only give then money being your responsibility as a child; never engage in the act of following then to worship their idols,” he emphasized in his preaching.

Further to expand on the sermon, the Missioner said, “Though we have plenty leaders of believer, now we have most leaders fighting on social media saying derogatory speech to each other. A Muslim leader can engage in activity like sport e.g. playing soccer, this is exercising the body. Thus, we are not to do things that go against the doctrine of Islam. In the news we see the latest where inscription of Quran on the bullet proof used by Sunday Igboho. This is nothing but a sign of end time.”

We now have hoodlums getting married to sisters who wear hijab; events organized by miscreants in the society and a Muslim scholar was been invited to speak at the program, when the people were surrounded by the Police Force such scholar was arrested alongside the organizers. With all these happening, it is obvious we are in the period being mentioned by Our Creator in the Holy Quran.
He mentioned in his words that the four things which exonerate a muslim from being victim of the end time goes thus those whose believe in Allah is firm; those who enjoin good and act upon the good deeds; those who speak truth and those who have patience.

Acting upon the firm believe is those who only hear about the attributes of Allah and the fear of Allah encompass his heart, definitely such person has a strong believe in the existence of Allah. They are the believers noted in this verse.

Those who are patient upon all that happen to them either good or bad, in time of affluent and want, in distress and the state of joy; they accept all situation with good faith.
