Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
“Whoever reflects over the
circumstances of the world, he will find that every goodness in the earth – its
reason is the Tawheed of Allaah and worshipping Him and obedience to His
Messenger, and that every evil in the world and tribulation and trial and drought
and empowered supremacy of an enemy and other than that – its reason is
opposing His Messenger and the call to other than Allaah and His Messenger.
Likewise, whoever reflects over this in true reflection and contemplates over
the circumstances of the world – from its inception until now; and up until
Allaah reclaims the earth and those that are upon it, he will find this affair
to be exclusively of relevance within himself as well as in the right of other
than himself – in general and in particular.”
