This is a translation from At-Tasfiya wat-Tarbiya from an original lecture given by the author at the Sharee’ah Institute in Amman, Jordan.

“When you deal in eena and you hold onto the tails of cows and you are content with agriculture and you abandon jihaad, Allaah will inflict humiliation upon you and will not remove it until you return to your religion”

This hadeeth is from the signs of prophethood as you can see. And indeed, this humiliation has become a fact amongst us as is unfortunately visible. It is obligatory upon us that we acquire the remedy from this hadeeth after the disease has been described along with the humiliation it will produce. Indeed, we have hung on persistently to the illnesses which have led us the disease; which is none other that humiliation. Therefore, it is upon us that that we return to the application of the remedy which the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) described and which he made clear that if we return to it, Allaah will lift this humiliation from us.
