The other day when I went to get my hair done, I observed something new. I don’t watch TV, but there was a TV playing right in front of me and a Manqabat (a poem which praises the religious personalities) was played on it, to which the reciters were showering their worship and servitude more than their devotion and love. It is for sure that the person for whom this Manqabat was being recited, if he had heard it in his lifetime, he would have wanted to beat the reciter and the spreader of it. Well, after this munqabt ended, the music and songs started. That’s when I realized that it was a musical channel on which this interlude was inserted between songs. Everything that is aired on media is what’s most selling, even if it is something religious.
The religion brought by the Prophets is a simple religion containing the requirements of faith and morals. Those who come after that make a new religion by making additions and changes to it. The main characteristic of this religion is that it appeals very much to the superficial emotions of the people. Thus, this religion works and sells in comparison to the original religion.
In this religion, polytheism instead of monotheism and innovation instead of Sunnah are prominent. In this religion, instead of invitation, advice, goodwill, reasoned criticism, there is hatred, enmity, argument, accusation, slander and war. Emphasis is placed on the subject and weak hadiths instead of the Holy Quran. Instead of the good deeds of the Holy Prophet and his sayings, ordinary people are highlighted.
The market value of such religion is very high. This religion is everywhere and sold on every TV and YouTube channel. But every such religion will be rejected on the Day of Judgment. I wish people know this today.
