What is the human being desired by Allah? This person is fully immersed in the love of God. They spread melodies of His praise and sing hymns of His greatness. Even if they do not share in the melody of my master Prophet Dawud (peace be upon him), they still sing the praises of Allah with the rhythm of their heartbeat and the rain of their tears. Every blessing, big or small, makes them grateful to their Lord and reminds them of Him at every moment.
What is the human being desired by Allah? This person makes the building of their character the purpose of their life. Even if they do not share in the innate purity of my master, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), their ideal is none other than his being. They may not become like him, but they strive to do so. They want to be compassionate, gentle, forgiving, and loving. Justice, benevolence, and charity are the three basic principles of their life. Modesty defines their character, and purity is their conduct. Faith is their life, mercy is their identity, and compassion is their mindset. Religion is not a matter of the tongue, but the pain of the heart. When this pain becomes a call, even stones melt.
Ah! But what is today’s Muslim like? Lacking patience, filled with negativity, a portrait of despair, and an example of inaction. Their finger is always pointing at others, their tongue spits flames, their mind boils with hatred, their eyes search for conspiracies, and their chest is filled with bitterness. They consider everyone other than themselves misguided, issue religious decrees, and force their views upon others, believing them to be the ultimate truth.
Today, the world needs the human being desired by Allah: a person who is a complete embodiment of sympathy, a bearer of the call to truth, a person of noble character, knowledge, patience, and deep understanding. Not the Muslim of today, who is a product of a fallen Muslim nation.
