Do not wait for Saladin

While I was watching the news, I came across a very strange piece of news: A young man saves money and power to travel with them long distances to the Sacred House of Allah with the intention of performing `Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) for the sake of Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

He has one wish to achieve and that wish deprives him of sleep.

He is going for one reason, what is the important issue which attracts him to the extent that he traveled all that long distance and endure that difficult journey in order that his invocation to be answered? Which bloodshed inflamed his feelings? Which brutal view excited his sorrows? Which crisis narrowed the ground for him despite its vastness and caused him escape to the Sacred House of Allah?

He was going to invoke Allah to guide someone, not the ruler who rules him, not his father or mother, not his neighbor or friend, but he is Jackie Chan.

Do not laugh because I am crying.

In which environment that merciful heart lived? Which thoughts were instilled in his mind? Upon which his hearing and sight were reared? Who are his family and brethrens?

We are before the output of distorted upbringing: A white heart, grey thoughts, and black behavior. It is a sick picture anyway.

Jackie Chan is one of Hollywood celebrities and was the son of a cook in an embassy, then he joined school for fitness and circus games, and during that period he learnt the famous game (Kung Fu) in which he became distinct and his star rose to the sky. Then his wittiness led him to the cinema gates, how lucky his father was!

He became one of the world celebrities, and became famous and known by everyone even our young Muslim people who have been fascinated with his power because this is the meaning of manhood according to young adolescents.

He became more famous than Bilal ibn Rabah, Abu Bakr, and `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) in the eyes of our Muslim young youth.

They enumerate the achievements of Jackie Chan more than enumerating the achievements of one of the grand Companions.

However, there is one fact I want every person, who is fascinated by Jackie Chan to know, which is:

Hollywood, which he has become one of its celebrities, is being read as such to conceal its real meaning which means "Holy wood;" and holy wood is an old Buddhist doctrine used in sorcery to affect people.

This doctrine is still secretly used in America in a famous garden in California that is called the Bohemian garden which only world famous celebrities, politicians, and businessmen can enter.

One of the American journalists entered that garden stealthily and pictured those pagan rituals practiced there and explained secret matters done there secretly [See "The Arrivals" series].

Back to Jackie Chan, this actor has participated greatly in corrupting morals through the porno scenes in his movies, starting from his appearance with indecent women to his appearance totally naked in many of his movies.

Furthermore, he mocks at religions in his movies and establishes for atheism.

He puts these poisons in exciting and thrilling scenes to attract the attentions of young youth who run after power and elegance, then their eyes, minds, and selves see them as good things remove the bad ones. Each of those young men wish to be a copy of that superman.

Do not be astonished because I am opening this issue. One of my Muslim brother in Russia told me that in some time when there was no security nor safety in Russia, he tried to learn athletics and his role model was Bruce Lee, the Kung Fu hero and he told me that he was worshipping him.

So, I laughed. He said to me: No, I was worshipping him in real meaning and I was practicing the Buddhist imitation to contact his soul to help me learn Kung Fu.

Indeed, need is the mother of invention.

The threads from the speech of that Russian brother whom Allah guided and the behavior of that young man who traveled to perform `Umrah with the intention that Allah would guide Jackie Chan are gathered in my head.

Every soul either seeks perfection in itself or seeks it in others, this is the pure instinct. When there is no one more perfect than Allah (may He be Exalted), He is the only one worthy of worship.

The one who loses the guidance of Allah searches for perfection in others.

The cows worshippers did not worship them in vain, but they worshipped them because Satan decorated for them that cows are perfect because they give them abundant goodness such as food and drink while they are imperfect, need them day and night, and cannot do without them. As for the fire worshippers, they worship it because they have seen a kind of perfection in it because it is severe and powerful.

Thus, when a straying person sees a benefit in something or harm, he worships this or that.

As for Muslims, the matter is absolutely different because we want the benefit of this and fears the harm of that, but we do not worship this or that.

However, we still have the notion of the saver who will save us at the end.

Do not you see that voices call day and night: Where is Saladin?

Everyone has his own Saladin: This young man sees Saladin in Jackie Chan

because he has the power to defeat the Jews in one movie I mean in one day.

However, the problem is: Jackie Chan is deviant, so the only solution is to invoke Allah for him and the problem of the Muslim nation will be solved.

Another sees that Saladin must be chosen by Allah, so we are sitting waiting for him.

Others see that Saladin in Hasan Nasrullah, the leader of Hezbollah who says sweet speech.

Others see that Saladin is Iran, the coming nuclear force which will help the people of the Sunnah and put them at the top of all the people.

Some Muslims care for some matters while others do not.

Do not they believe firmly that Saladin died after he had fulfilled his role and Allah shall gather him with the grand righteous Companions if Allah wills.

Do not they believe that each time has its men who make victory for it, and not those who wait for victory.

To those people I say: You are Saladin. If each one of you wants to be Saladin, he will be.

We want to fight the enemy of the religion, the enemy of mind and thinking, and the enemies of the hearts, so none of them is inferior to another.

Doubts which fight Muslims' minds and desires which attack Muslims' hearts are harder than our enemies and the change will not happen but after the change of Muslims' hearts.

O you who are waiting for Saladin: "Verily, Allâh will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allâh)." [Surat Ar-Ra`d: 11].

Allah (Glory be to Him) sends at the head of every century someone who revives the religion, so do not wait the past to change your future, but work to change and renew.
