(1) Consequences of a FATHER being killed and the family overpowered by the enemy:

A religious, even a non-religious family lives by an ideology. The head of the family maintains his family and raises his children according to that ideology.

Such is a Muslim.
A Muslim maintains his family, and raises his children in an Islamic ideology, within an Islamic environment focused on saving himself and his family from Jahannam as that’s what the command and the responsibility given by his RABB on the shoulder of the Man of the family. (At-Tahrim 66:6)

But what happens, when the father of the family is killed, and his wealth is seized by his enemy, not for the wealth itself but rather due to the enmity towards his faith and his ideology?

And then, what happens when that enemy raises the children of that family?
In what ideology would the enemy raise those children?
Obviously, on the ideology for which he killed their father, the opposite ideology of their father.

Leave aside the scenarios of killing and seizing wealth,
what happens when a Muslim child is raised by a Christian family in regular circumstances?
Does this child remain a Muslim?

For sure, the child would be raised as a Christian.
Then, If that Christian family is hostile towards Islam, they will make sure this child not only becomes Christian but also hates Islam and Muslims.

(2) Consequences of a STATE AUTHORITY being dismantled and its people/ system overpowered by the enemy:

The same thing happens in the case of a state authority.
A state uses all its institutions, from making legislation to establishing schools, libraries or community services, media and whatnot to promote the ideology it wants its people to embrace.
A state authority is like a manufacturing plant that sets up all its machinery to produce the products (citizens) as it wants them to be.

Such is an Islamic authority, an ‘Islamic State’, which we call Khilafah. The Khilafah of the Muslims protects the Muslims from Shirk, Kufr and all that is Haram. It maintains the environment as such that the Ummah only needs to engage and safeguard the FIVE PILLARS of Islam to set its course towards Jannah. The Khilafah is the shield for the Ummah just like a father to a family. The Khilafah is the ROOF, the Cieling of Islam under which the FIVE PILLARS are protected.

But when Kuffar, the enemy of Islam dismantled the Khilafah and became the state authority as if they killed the father of the family.

So, what is supposed to happen?
All institutions and machinery of the state were set to change the course of the Ummah in the opposite direction, Jahannam. May Allah protect us.

Thus we Muslims have been subjected to the Kuffar’s ideologies for about the last 300 years by us accepting and letting the enemy of Islam change our mindset through their schools, colleges, and universities and then, forcing the Kuffar’s laws on us in our homelands.

Then, when the Kuffar left, they managed to leave the authority of the land to their ‘children’ (brain-child) among us who were doing the ‘FIVE PILLARS’ of Islam but continued imposing the same Kuffar’s ideologies and ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’ on Muslims.

(3) The Consequences: ‘Muslims’ in Kuffar’s Mindset’.

So, what I have realised and what I have been saying is that we, those who call ourselves Muslims, our forefathers were raised in the ideology of the enemy of Islam, thus we, for us today, after about 10 generations, adopted their mindset wholeheartedly.

Therefore, I named these Muslims, ourselves,
‘Muslims’ in Kuffar’s Mindset’.

What I mean by that is that
we Muslims adopted the ideologies of the enemies of Islam,
we adopted the ‘Words of Mouth’ of the Kuffar by even leaving the Islamic ‘Way of Speaking’,
and we adopted the lifestyle of the Kuffar in our daily life.

I know these are new things to you, they sound sort of alien terms. But let me prove it to you, in what depth the ‘Kuffar’s Mindset’ has imprinted in our minds!
Allahu Musta’an.
May Allah guide us.

(4) Understanding the importance of the Islamic Mindset :

You hear this a lot.
‘Let’s Revive a Sunnah’.
Why is the ‘revival’?
You revive something which is dead, isn’t it?
Usually, this is said about a practice of Rasulullah Sallallahu A’laihi Wa Sallam that we Muslims left or forgot.

Such an example is leaving the Sunnah of praying Nawfil Salah at home. Most Muslims left this best practice, whereas Rasulullah said, ‘The best Salah is what is prayed at home’. (Saheeh Bukhari 731)

But the thing is, there’s no sin in leaving this best way of Ebadah (Allah knows best) only one is losing a lot of Barakah and the benefits of this practice.

However, the good thing about ‘Reviving a Sunnah’, in the case of Ebadah, is that it works with most Muslims and they try to practice that Sunnah after a reminder. Al Hamdulillah!

(5)
But what about the Mindset issues, an Ideological issue of Islam that we left or forgot?
It is much more severe than the practice of the Sunnah. It is a must-have thing for a Muslim as It is the Mindset that makes one a Muslim because Islam itself is an ideology, a Mindset.

Therefore, reviving a Mindset, changing the mindset from ‘Kuffar’s Mindset’ to Islamic Mindset or BELIEVING and acting on what Rasulullah Sallallahu A’laihi Wa Sallam said as true about a Mindset or ideological issue, is a very serious and sensitive issue.

But we are in the depth of the Kuffar’s mindset.
How deep the ‘Kuffar’s Mindset’ has imprinted in our minds?
How hard is it today to BELIEVE and ACT on what Rasulullah said as the BEST about something when it goes against the mindset implanted in our minds by the Kuffar?

Let alone acting, how hard is it even to ACKNOWLEDGE that it is the best?
That’s what I am going to place to you and you can judge yourself.
May Allah guide us.
So let’s begin.

(6) ‘Muslims’ in Kuffar’s Mindset – an Example:

If I were to ask you,
Who is the best person?
What’s the best deed?
What’s the best profession?
What’s the best life (lifestyle)?

I know the first two questions are easy for most Muslims. And there are many answers to those and all would be correct if applied in their proper perspectives.

But if I have to ask the 3rd and the 4th questions, most of the Muslims would stumble.
Test yourself.
Prove me wrong.
Stop here and reply before you read the rest of this article if you know the answers.

(7)
If I were to conduct a poll, what’s the best profession?

Master Chef? 😄
Astronaut?
Doctor?
Engineering?
Chartered Accountancy?
Computer Programming?
Dog walking? 😄
TV Presenter?
Agriculturist?
Shepherding?
Airhostess?
Businessmen?
Tax Advisor?
Biomedics?
Or any other profession you can think of.
What do you think your answer would be?

Oh no no no!
Don’t give me an answer or think about an answer like the stupid AI, “It depends on the individual’s preference, perspective and goal, blah blah blah”

I am asking about the best profession and the best lifestyle prescribed in Islam

Does it make you wonder!
Check with ‘Mufti’ Google 😄
Did you find it?

(8) Islam – The SUPREME Way of Life – The Best PROFESSION and the best LIFESTYLE

Now, let’s get to the real answer.
Let’s find out the answer according to the one, who is the best example for human beings, who was sent as the GUIDANCE to human beings, Muhammad, Rasulullah, Sallallahu A’lalihi Wa Sallam. And we are supposed to obey him, follow him.
What did he say?

باب فَضْلِ الْجِهَادِ وَالرِّبَاطِ ‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ بَعْجَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏

“‏ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَعَاشِ النَّاسِ لَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مُمْسِكٌ عِنَانَ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يَطِيرُ عَلَى مَتْنِهِ كُلَّمَا سَمِعَ هَيْعَةً أَوْ فَزْعَةً طَارَ عَلَيْهِ يَبْتَغِي الْقَتْلَ وَالْمَوْتَ مَظَانَّهُ

أَوْ رَجُلٌ فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ فِي رَأْسِ شَعَفَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّعَفِ أَوْ بَطْنِ وَادٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَوْدِيَةِ يُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَيَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْيَقِينُ لَيْسَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلاَّ فِي خَيْرٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said:
“Of the men, he lives the best life who holds the reins of his horse (ever ready to march) in the way of Allah, flies on its back whenever he hears a fearful shriek or a call for help, flies to it seeking death at places where it can be expected.

(Next to him) is a man who lives with his sheep at a hilltop or in a valley, says his prayers regularly, gives Zakah and worships his RABB until death comes to him.

There is no better person among men except these two.
(Saheeh Muslim 4783-(125/1889)

Subhanallah!
Who is the best person?
What’s the best profession?
Warrior, Fighter FiSabilillah!, which is, a Mujaheed.
He is the best man,
Fighting is the best profession.
Jihad is the best profession.
Subhanallah!

Then, who’s the next best person after Mujaheed?
A Shepherd!
Subhanallah!
An amazing fact!

Put your mind again,
what’s the next best profession after fighting?
Shepherding.

Please note,
here, by saying ‘best men’, Rasulullah didn’t mention any aspect of the character of a person. The ‘best men’ here is depicted by the work he does, which is what becomes the profession of a person.

(9)
Now, the question to you is,
how does someone choose this profession?
How does someone have this lifestyle?
In today’s context, It is by living in a farming life,
by raising sheep, goats, cattle, etc.

(10)
Here’s another Hadith that tells you again the same thing, the best lifestyle, the best profession and the best men.

باب فَضْلِ الْجِهَادِ وَالرِّبَاطِ

‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ، بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ

قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَىُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

قَالَ ‏”‏ مُؤْمِنٌ يُجَاهِدُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ
قَالَ ‏”‏ ثُمَّ رَجُلٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It has been narrated (through a different chain of transmitters) by the same authority (i.e. Abu Sa’id Khadri) who said:

A man asked: Messenger of Allah, which of men is the best?
He said: A believer who fights staking his life and spending his wealth in the way of Allah.

He asked: Who is next to him (in excellence)?
He said: Next to him is a man who lives an isolated life in a mountain, worshipping his Rabb and sparing men from his mischief.
(Saheeh Muslim 4781-(123/1887)

(11)
And then, the next thing is about a PROFESSION which is chosen by our Rabb for the best human beings.
Subhanallah! It’s an amazing fact.

Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam informed us that all of the messengers and prophets that Allah Ajja Wa Jalla sent to human beings were once a shepherd!
(Saheeh Bukhari 2262)

Subhanallah!
How amazing, how honourable and noble profession this could be when the owner of the Heavens and the Earths has chosen the people from this profession as His prophets and messengers?
Subhanallah!

(12)
And then, the next thing is how beloved this lifestyle is to our Rabb that He, Al-Ghafur forgives such a slave and admits him to Jannah?

Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam informed what Allah said about this person who is living this best life and working in this best profession:

Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam informed what Allah said about this person who is living this best life and working in this best profession:

” أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ أَبَا عُشَّانَةَ الْمَعَافِرِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ “‏ يَعْجَبُ رَبُّكَ مِنْ رَاعِي غَنَمٍ فِي رَأْسِ شَظِيَّةِ الْجَبَلِ يُؤَذِّنُ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَيُصَلِّي فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي هَذَا يُؤَذِّنُ وَيُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ يَخَافُ مِنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي وَأَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It was narrated that ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir said: “I heard Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said,
‘Your RABB is pleased with a shepherd high in the mountains who calls the Adhan for the prayer and pray.
Allah says: ‘Look at this slave of Mine; he calls the Adhan and Iqamah for the prayer and fears Me. I have forgiven My slave and admitted him to Jannah.
(Sunan Nasai 667 Saheeh, Abu Dawud 1086 Saheeh, Saheehah 41)

(13) Understanding the depth of the ‘Kuffar’s Mindset’

Now tell me, do you BELIEVE sheepherding is the best profession?
Let me make it easy for you to understand.
If you believe this, you would want the best for yourself and for your children, aren’t you?

Let’s forget about yourself. You are already done with your profession and professional life.
But what about your son?
Would you choose this best profession for your son, my brother?
Think.
Go home and talk to your spouse my brother!
ha ha ha!

Think now, what mindset you got!
Think, what a lifestyle you have been pulled into.
Think, if you indeed BELEIVE and realise the meaning of your belief and would choose to act on it.
Again, would you choose this best profession, Sheepherding, for your son, my brother?

You know the answer, I know the answer.
Do you realise how unrealistic it is to us Muslims about a profession that is dearest to our Rabb?
And do you now understand in what depth the Kuffar’s ideologies and Kuffar’s lifestyle have pulled us into?
May Allah guide us.

(14) The corrupt lifestyle – an ocean of corruption.

Now, my intention is not to put you down.
I know the reality and I want you to admit the reality too.
And that reality is to understand that Kuffar has pulled us down in a world of corruption.

Our entire lifestyle is corrupted,
Our education system is corrupted,
Our food system is corrupted,
Our health system is corrupted.
Our financial system is corrupted,
Even our family system is corrupted by the Kuffar’s ideologies of ‘equality’.
Tell me, what’s left?

There’s no aspect of life that remained out of the corruption of the Kuffar’s environment which they set through their legislation, the education systems and the entertainment industry.
And you know this, you realise this.

But you’re still clinging to this lifestyle.
You’re still sending your children to the same corrupt systems and you are labouring day-in and day-out in the same corrupt cycle not only for yourself but for your future generations to be prey to this system as well.
Do you not think my brother?

(15) It’s Your Life – Don’t surrender it to the hands of the corruptors!

So my brother,
I call out to you,
By the name of Allah,
Would you take a step to get out of this corruption?
If not as a shepherd, you can choose a farming lifestyle, a natural and organic life for you and your family. It is so easy.

What you need is to have the mindset, and strength of your mind to kick at the back of these corruptors, and slap on the face of the criminals.

It’s so easy to grow your own organic fruits and vegetables.
Only planting one or two pumpkin plants and gourd melon would be enough to supply the vegetables for your family for the entire season.
You can raise a few organic chickens for fresh eggs and meat,
And rear a few goats or sheep for real fresh milk and meat to fulfil your protein needs.
Subhanallah life is so simple.
Walking towards Jannah is so simple.
Setting a path towards Jannah for your children is so easy and simple, En Shaa Allah!

And Allah knows best.
May Allah guide us.
O Allah, Yeah Rabb, guide this Ummah!
Ameen.

(16) Hijrah and Farming lifestyle (Off-grid living) – a combination:

Now, what’s the relationship of living a farming life to Hijrah?
To know, you have to click and check from here:
‘Forum for Facilitating Global Hijrah’,

Here we are trying to combine 4 (four) things:

(1)
Hijrah to a land,
away from obeying/ submitting to the ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’ and Kuffar’s environment.

(2)
Living a Farming-life on a 1 Acre land.

(3)
A 3-bedroom pre-fabricated House

(4)
A community business.

All these are possible only for about $50-75K arrangement.

May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
May Allah save us from the Kuffar’s corrupt environment.
Ameen.
