Recently, a documentary broadcasted a man climbing up a mountain, scraping bees via a blade from a gigantic beehive.
The bees instantaneously attacked the man who started spraying them with insecticides and soon took off with the beehive.
People started commenting on how cruel it was to deprive the bees off of their beehive which they had worked tirelessly for.
The bees were very attached to their hive, like a tenant being kicked out by his landlord.
But in this case, the landlord himself, that is the bees were being kicked out of their own house.
The same house that they had constructed with their own hands.
We’ve seen people brag about making their own house, but these bees have literally constructed their own beehive.
No man has ever worked this hard to build his own house.
We not only seize their house, but also their assets in it.
And then we see people’s comments on how wrong this is.
The reality is that we cannot really differentiate between good and bad if we detach religion from it.
This is the sole reason why people think that it’s okay to hurt and oppress other people.
They satisfy their conscience by saying that the strong one always dominates the weak one in the jungle and so according to natural selection, only the one with power has the right to live.
Take Hitler for example; the man believed that he could rule the entire world just because of his power and influence.
He was a firm believer of Darwinian theory of evolution and he was convinced that he and his people had evolved to become..
.. better and more powerful versions of themselves unlike the rest of the world, making him superior to them.
Today, we have found loopholes and excuses to make major sins like adultery and homosexuality permissible for us.
People have started labelling drugs as anti-depressant tablets making them not just socially acceptable but also widely promoted.
People have even started considering suicide as an act of good.
There have been cases in Europe where people suffering from chronic depression or people who don’t want to live anymore,
tell their doctors to end their lives. This has also been made permissible.
When doctors tell their patients that their chances of survival are really low,
the patients tell their doctor to end their lives and there have been numerous recorded instances of this.
Such doctors are known as Doctor Death. You can search them up on YouTube.
And they justify this act by saying that the patient was in pain and ending their life only ended their suffering.
So according to this, someone suffering from depression should also be allowed to take his own life because even this would relieve him of all that trouble.
In fact, even majority of the handicapped people are better adapted to their circumstances than the Romeos of our society.
These people fall into chronic depression and after their doctor refuses to end their lives, they end up committing suicide themselves.
The human mind isn’t capable enough to always make the right decision ..
.. and this is why we have Islam to guide us to the straight path and to help us differentiate between good and bad.
No matter how big the problem, physical or mental, Islam doesn’t permit anyone to take their own life nor does it permit any doctor to do so.
This world is a temporary place of residence for travelers like us and the key to success is patience.
It doesn’t matter how great the pain or the suffering is. Even if we can’t pray or fast we must be patient and steadfast.
Because this is our test and in order to fulfill it we must accept our fate and have firm belief in the mercy of Allah.
