Bismillah!
Al Hamdulillah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulillah!
Al-‘Ankabut 29:56
يَٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ أَرْضِى وَٰسِعَةٌ فَإِيَّٰىَ فَٱعْبُدُونِ
“O My believing servants! Surely, my earth is spacious, so worship Me ˹alone˺/ worship only Me.“
Bismillah
Al Hamdulillah
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulillah
Let’s do a critical reasoning (contemplate) on the Ayah
What are the subjects here?
- (1) Earth
- (2) Worship
What is said about these subjects?
- (1) It says Allah’s land is spacious, land is vast. That’s easily understandable.
- (2) And worship Allah alone.
What does it mean to 'worship Allah alone'?
Well, this means worshipping Allah without Shirk.
This is what is expected from those who call themselves Muslims.
Which is why Allah sent his messenger.
Which is why He sent the Quran.
I think that’s also easily understandable by every Muslim.
But why did Allah put these two issues together?
What’s the interrelation between these two issues?
We can derive a simple understanding that Allah, the owner of the land confirms that there’s Allah’s land where Muslims can worship Him without Shirk because He says, ‘My earth is spacious’ in relation to worship Him alone.
Another point is, since this Quran is the guide for humanity until the last day, therefore, there will always be such a land until the end of the world where Muslims would be able to worship Allah without Shirk, without submitting to ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’.
And that’s a certain knowledge.
We can also derive an implied meaning that Allah orders his servants that when living in a land becomes such that you cannot worship Allah Subhanahu Wa T’ala alone (without Shirk), you must move away to a land where you can worship Allah without Shirk.
So, when and in what circumstances does a land become a state where you cannot worship Allah alone?
We will understand that when we would know the implications of what it means to ‘worship’.
Let’s try to understand that, En Shaa Allah!
So, what does worship mean?
Simply put, it is to obey Allah, to do what Allah ordered us to do and to stay away from what He forbade us from doing.
And these two things are summarised and given the Islamic terms, which we know as
‘Deen of Allah‘ and ‘Shariah of Allah‘.
Therefore, let’s ask ourselves these simple questions:
(1) Does following Allah’s Deen mean worshipping Allah?
Yes!
Then, can someone claim that he worships Allah alone when he also submits to a Deen other than the Deen of Allah?No!
(2) Does following Allah’s Shariah mean worshipping Allah?
Yes!
Then, can someone claim that he worships Allah alone when he also submits to a Shariah other than the Shariah of Allah?
No!
Does it now give some idea why Allah put these two separate issues together?
When you cannot follow Allah’s Deen in a land, you have to move to a land where you can follow Allah’s Deen.
When you cannot follow Allah’s Shariah in a land, you have to move to a land where you can follow Allah’s Shariah.
Or you can say this in the opposite way, which is,
When you are subjected to follow 'Kuffar's Deen' in a land, you have to move out from that land to a land where you can follow Allah’s Deen.
When you are subjected to obey ‘Kuffar's Shariah‘ in a land, you have to move out from that land to a land where you can follow Allah’s Shariah.
But we always hear’ “Where’s that land?“
Is there a land where Allah’s Deen is followed?
Is there a land where Allah’s Shariah is implemented?
Well, this question has two implications.
If this question means you want to know something that you have no knowledge of, then it is something normal.
And in that case, we invite you to join us in that quest, if you are really sincere.
And here is that link:
But if you are posing these questions as a challenge that there’s no such land exists where you can follow Allah’s Deen, then these questions could be the words of Kufr.
How do you say that?
Well, you’re denying something that Allah Ajja Wa Jallah Himself confirms in the Quran.
Since Allah says, “Allah’s land is vast”, in respect to worship him alone, then, there must be a land and there will be a land until the Qiyamah where you don’t have to submit to the Kuffar’s Deen, to the Kuffar’s Shariah! And that’s the Certain Knowledge for a Muslim.
And Allah knows best.
May Allah save us from following ‘Kuffar’s Deen’.
May Allah protect us from obeying ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
Ameen.
