Salaam dear young friends. Hope you are all fine and in the best of health by the grace of Almighty Lord.
In some parts of the world, temperatures are torridly hot, while in some other parts, especially in the tropical regions, heavy torrential rains have unleashed floods, causing damage to property, public places, crops and livestock.
Indeed God is All-Merciful, and as is evident by the alterations of the days and nights and the yearly weather cycle and has made everything precisely perfect. One of His blessings we would be celebrating coming Saturday. Do you know what it is?
Come on, it is not that hard for you to give the correct answer. Well here is a small hint for you. This day is the day on which dry land emerged for the first time from underneath the waters of the oceans that engulfed Planet Earth before the creation animals, birds and mankind.
Yes, you are right. It is the 25th of the lunar month Zil-Qa’dah the day known as Dahw-al-Ardh, when several millennia ago the first dry spot of land emerged from underneath the water to catch the sun’s rays for the first time, and to gradually expand and spread above the surface of oceans, in order to serve as the cradle for transforming Planet Earth into the brilliant bed of civilization through the efforts and brains of the intelligent two-legged perfectly-moulded human race.
For your information, the first patch of land was the spot where the holy Ka’ba stands. Now you know the philosophy of the annual Hajj pilgrimage and the reason why it is the focal point of the daily prayers for the faithful throughout the globe.
Indeed it is a blessed day, on which the faithful, many of them in the state of fasting, after performing a special ritual prayer to thank God for His infinite Favours that no human brain or the most advanced product of the brains of the intelligentsia, that is, the computer, cannot enumerate, supplicate to Him by reciting the special supplications for this day.
You will also be heartened to know that on this day, in the end times, Imam Mahdi (AS), the 12th and Last Infallible Heir of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA), will reappear to establish the global government of peace, prosperity, and justice, by weeding our corruption and oppression from Planet Earth.
So young friends, do remember us in your supplications. Goodbye and God bless you until we meet again next week.
