Should We Pay Attention to Your Beautiful Words or Your Ugly Deeds!
News:
In his speech at the Opening Program of the Mawlid al-Nabi Week President Erdoğan said, “The only person in this world who we model ourselves on, whose footsteps we follow and whose path we dedicate our lives to is our Messenger of Allah. He is purely and simply our guide, our leader and our beloved for whom we will die. May our Lord grant us to walk in the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah, to build our personality with his life, and to be moralized with his exemplary morals.” (Agencies 14.09.2024)
Comment:
The greatest evil that the rulers, who are responsible for the affairs of the people, can do, is to govern the society with systems that emanate from the secular aqeedah (creed), which distance the people from their Lord, which enslave them to their desires with the deception of freedom and liberty, and which inculcate servitude to the servant. An even greater calamity for Muslims is the contemptibleness of the rulers who impose the solutions of these superstitious ideas on us. President Erdoğan, who is a master of speaking according to the pulse, has made it a characteristic of him to speak according to the atmosphere of the environment and process he enters. Based on the principle that a word is a trust, if the only leader in your life is the Messenger of Allah and you claim to follow in his footsteps, then your deeds should confirm these beautiful words.
The asceticism and taqwa of the rulers who take over the affairs of the society in their individual lives is related to their own deeds and does not concern the society. However, the kufr systems and superstitious ideas that are imposed on the society will be the responsibility and the blame of each individual, and this is the part that concerns us. In this context, you can talk about following the model of the Messenger of Allah as much as you want in your individual life, but as long as there is the secular democratic system of kufr through which you govern the society, your deeds will always belie your words. The ugliness and bad odor of your deeds will always disturb the society. We rely on the words of rulers whose deeds will confirm their words, who will hold the trust of the word in the first place, who will not betray the Ummah and the sacred, and who will make religion the basis of their governance. But President Erdoğan, as I mentioned above, considers it politics to speak according to the environment and time, so sometimes he shows the Holy Quran at election squares. At other times, he stirs up the public with the literature of homeland and nation. Sometimes he goes so far as to market secularism to the people in different parts of the Islamic Geography on behalf of the US. Democracy is the magic word that never falls off his tongue!
Mr. Erdoğan! In your 23 years in power, which of the rulings of the Messenger of Allah (saw) have you implemented so that you can say that you are following his footsteps and that you have made him your sole guide? Isn't all the manipulation, deception and misleading you have done during your rule not enough! Why are you saying things that you have not done, that you cannot do, as if you have done them, as if you are going to do them, when this is a great burden in the sight of Allah (swt)? If you were really following the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah (saw), you would have mobilized the entire army and put an end to this oppression while Gaza has been subjected to a genocide that history has never witnessed before your eyes for a year. We do not rely on fancy sentences, but on the words of the rulers who are like men who beautify their deeds with the rulings of Islam.
We ask Allah (swt) to destroy the power of the rulers of Ruwaybidah, who plague the Muslim Ummah, and to bring the days when the Rashid (rightly guided) Caliphs, whose words and deeds are one, will lead the Ummah as soon as possible.
