obey all Divine Orders

In the time of the Prophet (s.a.w.), some Jews distorted the sound of the salam into a vulgar word when they greeted Rasulullah (s.a.w.), and that act brought Divine Anger upon them.

سُوۡرَةُ المجَادلة

... وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوۡكَ بِمَا لَمۡ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ ٱللَّهُ وَيَقُولُونَ فِىٓ أَنفُسِہِمۡ لَوۡلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا ٱللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ‌ۚ حَسۡبُهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ يَصۡلَوۡنَہَا‌ۖ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ (٨)

… And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah Greeteth thee not, and say within themselves: “Why should Allah Punish us for what we say?”  Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end! (Surah al-Mujadilah:8)

All the prophets brought a fundamental message for their umam.  We must have that principle within ourselves to want to listen to and obey all Divine Orders.  People of the 21^st Century believe that they have achieved great advancements and have made spectacular progress in science, yet spiritually, they have actually regressed to the level of animals; they no longer listen and obey.  Those who does not understand their duties and those who have no desire to understand them are like animals staying in a barn.  Why have people become like this?  It is due to our system of education.  Do we realise that most teachings are opposed to the Shari’ah of Allah (s.w.t.) and the sunnah of our Prophet (s.a.w.)?  We should be ashamed that we have entrusted our children to a school without taking an active interest in what moral and religious orientations they acquire when they are there.
