The advice Prophet Muhammed (peace of God be upon him) gave to Muslims more than 1 430 years ago to those who live to see the Time of Haraj or senseless killings, popularly known as global terrorism, is as follows: adopt the righteous attitude and high moral actions of the son of Adam who totally refused to participate in hurting anyone and even when forced to do so.
Stay far away from the scenes of senseless violence.
The son of Adam in question is none other Habil or Abel. Leave Cains to go to hell, as they do nothing but follow their father, Cain – the very first murderer in human history, who did not hesitate to senselessly kill his own brother due to his satanic anger and jealousy.
This prophetic advice is so handy today, noticing that those who we were warned against by the noble Prophet are today causing so much death and mayhem, worse enough of all in the name of Allah.
Keep away from such bloodthirsty Cains. This must, particularly, be read and heard by the youth of Islam.
What is happening, especially in many parts of the Muslim world today is not the sacred armed struggle in the way of Allah but deviant, criminal and excessive brutality performed in the name of the Divine.
Stay safe in your homeland. Peacefully and prayerfully.
