The
structure of this Universe tells us unequivocally, that every object IN ESSE,
has been established somewhere else much earlier, and that the past and present
of every thing are interlinked. When we make a mention of past, we implicitly
acknowledge the family and race of some particular thing. If it was possible
for us to exchange a talk with the almond tree, it could have narrated to us
very eloquently its pedigree in the same fashion in which a human gives the
details of his genealogical tree, while accounting for his family dignity and
prestige. We can't gainsay that the
sheep species too are standing on their specified measures and natural
requirements. So as the families, species and creatures have their genealogical
columns, likewise "the good and bad" have no exception in this
regard. A "Good" also has a family or a tree, and when this tree is
established, it has the ramification process of countless branches, flowers and
leaves and all these become so extensive that a tree turns to be a Luxuriant
shadow for its family, race and progeny.
More
often we attach no importance to a certain misdeed, but this tiny and
ostensibly trivial misdeed develops a seed and turns a lofty tree to the
chagrin of all its species due to its thorns, ugly-looking flowers, black, dry
and rough leaves and the fad and withered branches. Then this chagrin, through
qualm of conscience, gives berth to such a fatal range of diseases that prove
unavoidable or indomitable to the man despite all his defensive outworks. We
want not to ignore the reality and to adopt the thinking habit, than it is
absolutely necessary for us to know that all the phases of "good and
bad" are alive and mobile like all the members of a family. Hence you can
presage that the tree of good showers the blessing and boom while the tree of
misdeed causes for mankind all sorts of fear, scare, trouble and grief.
Every
person is well cognizant of the fact that the members of the family occupy a
pretty position as long as live with mutual understanding and sentimental
solidarity. They enjoy a collective voice and a collective force. If the sticks
of a sweeper is disjointed, and a particular object is hit by every individual
stick, it will prove of no account though the number of sticks may rise to
thousands. On the contrary, if we hit some one by a joint and strongly-tied up
sweeper, it may leave the body of target darkish-blue.
Therefore,
The Quran invites our attention towards our unity and integrity, and directs us
as one family, one nation and one gigantic tree to come forth untidily and
tighten our grip over the rope of Allah and end their divisibility. This
Quranic guidance requires us in a very articulate words to get united on one
platform regardless of our juristic schools, and to mop up our differences by
holding, with a collective spirit, the rope of Allah in sheer accordance with
Quranic guidance, but what a deplorable pity that we face.
Our
grim tragedy is that we unfortunately are not of an unanimous approach to Quran
in the term of its exegesis. Only one verse has several explanatory adages,
contradicting each other. So it is beyond the capacity of a layman to take a
decisive stand by going through commentaries as the commentators have no
criteria to single out the true exegesis from the dud one. This feature
resulted in the in thensification of the difference which to-day has caught
whole nation while previously it was restricted to a handful of persons.
When
we search out our predecessors' era and the conditions prevalent there, we find
out, with no iota of doubt, that they maintained their unity and did not face
any difficulty in the perception of Quranic Terse expressions and delicate
secrets. When the collective spirits of Muslims ceased to exist, and the tree
of misdeed occupied the place of tree of good, they were badly divided in so
many hands and faction, and got devoid of all Quranic gems and Divine
benedictions.
Allah
very categorically says:
"Hold the rope of Allah firmly
and be not disjoined".
It
goes without saying that all the Universe, in addition to the mankind, is the
creature of Allah. Likewise, the children of a mother, numbering, say, to
seven, or nine, or twelve, may broadly termed as her creature, and no mother
likes her children fight each other, but her maternal instinct demands them for
holding their maternal rope and be united so that the central gravity of the
mother may not come to an end. Figuratively a mother may be likened to Allah
the divinity of Allah, His love and affection towards the mankind, all these
require that all the human being, being members of the human race, should live
happily as the happiness of the creature is undoubtedly the happiness of Allah,
the Lord of Universes.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
