UNDERSTANDING OF A SIMPLE MATH:
2 + 2 always makes 4. It’s a simple math. A kid understands that.
Once a kid knows that simple math he follows that in his entire life.
But how about then after knowing this simple math an adult does not understand this or when he understands this simple math but doesn’t follow it?
It’s only when his mind is unstable.
And usually when a man’s mind becomes unstable?
It’s when he is in a drunken state.

EVERYTHING HAS ITS OWN PLACE:
Allah placed everything in its proper place, everything in its perfect balance. Al Ar-Rahman said,
(1) ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ
(2) عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ
(3) خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ
(4) عَلَّمَهُ ٱلْبَيَانَ
(5) ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ
(6) وَٱلنَّجْمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ
(7) وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلْمِيزَانَ
(8) أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْمِيزَانِ
(9) وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلْوَزْنَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا۟ ٱلْمِيزَانَ
(1) The Most Merciful
(2) Taught the Qur’ān,
(3) Created man,
(4) [And] taught him eloquence.
(5) The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,
(6) And the stars and trees prostrate.
(7) And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance
(8) That you not transgress within the balance.
(9) And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.
In all Allah’s creation, everything has its place, everything Allah, Al-A’leem, the Most Knowledgeable put in balance. If something is not in its proper place, it loses its life, it becomes lifeless and soulless, thus losing its balance.
The open air and the blue sky are the places for the birds. They can’t live in the sweet water of the river or the salty water of the ocean. Such is true about fish. The open air and the blue sky are not for the fish, water is their place.

DIGNITY BEING MUSLIM
Allah made us Muslims, Al Hamdulillah.
Allah Ajja Wa Jalla gave us dignity by making us Muslims.
And that dignity comes from observing Allah’s balance.
Living in a proper place is the basic criterion for observing that balance.
Therefore, we Muslims must live in our proper place to live by that dignity.

You’re a Muslim.
A Muslim has many regular rituals to do, which come very normal to him.
He does those Islamic things naturally and habitually.
He does those acts of Ebadah on a daily basis without thinking, hesitating, or intimidating.
When you live in a place where you can’t do/ perform/ practice or you feel intimidated to do those regular/ normal rituals of Islam, that can’t be your place, for sure.
That’s degrading yourself as a Muslim! That’s degrading Islam.
It’s a simple Math!
Example 1:
Giving Salam to a Muslim is a normal thing even to a regular Muslim.
In fact, it is the right of a Muslim over another Muslim to give Salam in any encounter with his Muslim brother. Our Ulama even says It’s an obligation (Wajib) for a Muslim to give Salam.
But when you live in a place/ workplace where you can’t give Salam to a Muslim, that can’t be your place.
That’s degrading yourself as a Muslim! That’s degrading Islam.
It’s a simple Math!
Isn’t that the case with Muslims working in the corporate offices in the Kuffar’s lands?
Example 2:
Calling Adhan and hearing Adhan is a normal and regular thing to a Muslim.
When you live and work in a place where you can neither call the Adhan nor hear it and you lack the courage to do so, instead you find a narrow and dark corner, designated by your management so ‘favourably’ and you finish your Salah as quickly and quietly as possible, while you try your best not to be noticed by anyone, that’s for sure, can’t be your place.
O Allahi, that’s degrading yourself as a Muslim! That’s degrading Islam.
It’s a simple Math!
Isn’t that the case in the corporate workplaces in the Kuffar’s lands where you feel intimidated calling Adhan?
Example 3:
When you live in a place where you can’t pray 5 daily Salah in Jama’a even though you have 3 Muslims in the same office room, in the same building in your workplace/ neighbourhood, for sure, that can’t be your place.
That’s degrading yourself as a Muslim! That’s degrading Islam.
It’s a simple Math!
Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said,
“If three people in a town or in the desert do not establish prayer among them, then Satan wraps them.“
(Sunan Abu Dawud 547, Saheeh)
Example 4:
When you live in a place where you can’t organize and pray Salatul Jumu’a even though you have 10 Muslims in the same office room or the same office or the same building in your workplace/ neighbourhood, that can’t be your place as a Muslim, for sure.
That’s degrading yourself as a Muslim! That’s degrading Islam.
It’s a simple Math!
And there are so many other examples of regular worship that a Muslim can’t do living in the Kuffar’s lands under the Kuffar’s authority.

At LEAST Know shaitan:
But these simple maths do not seem to be apprehensible by even the most pious Muslims today, those who are living like a ‘froth/ foam of the sea’, whose heart is attached to Dunya. (Sunan Abu Dawud 4297 (Hasan)
The question is, why?
How do their minds become that much unstable when they don’t drink alcohol?
Well, Islamically, we attribute this instability of mind to something called ‘Qalb’ and ‘Nafs’ and these things are always manipulated by a species called ‘shaitan’ unless one has Allah’s Rahmah on him. May Allah protect us.

‘Muslims’ in Kuffar’s Mindset:
By the way, it’s not only the Kuffar’s land, there are many Muslim-majority countries where Muslims living among Muslims do not/ cannot practice these basics of Islam, such as giving Salam to each other in an official environment! Surprise! They practice the Kuffar’s ways of greetings among themselves in their gatherings, and in their conferences, among Muslims!
Seems those Muslim-majority countries are also not a place for Muslims!
Surprise!! Surprise!!!
And then, what about describing a ‘Kafir’ as ‘Kafir’ or ‘Kuffar’ (plural). How come these words which Allah and His Rasul (Sallallahu A’laihi Wa Sallam) have used and defined those people who rejected Islam became so alien to Muslims even in Muslim-majority countries? Why do Muslims feel intimidated by saying these words?
Surprise! Surprise!!
Seems most of the world has become not-a-place for Muslims, be it in the Kuffar’s Lands or Muslim-majority lands.
In fact, these Muslims are like ‘the froth/ foam of the sea’, whose heart is attached to Dunya, no matter where they live. They are the ‘Muslims’ in Kuffar’s Mindset, who grabbed Kuffar’s Deen so dearly. May Allah guide them.
And Allah knows best.
May Allah give us understanding.
May Allah guide Muslims.
May Allah guide these ‘scholars’.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
Ameen.
Note:
This writing is intended only for those to whom this is applicable.
Those of you who are able to do these acts in the Kuffar’s lands, should not think, your staying is Halal because you were able to do these acts, for settling in the Kuffar’s lands, living with the Mushrikeen and obeying ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’ is Haram for many reasons in the first place which we have discussed in many other articles with references from Quran, Hadith and from the Ulama.
And Allah knows best.
May Allah guide us.
