ALLAH SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala has blessed humankind with numerous powers and His (SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala) Wisdom has equipped man with the knowledge of using it. Although
the Creator has given such knowledge to animals, there is a unique
difference between humans and animals. Since humankind is the highest
order of creation, the Creator has therefore blessed it with a special
faculty of knowledge that makes it superior to other creation. ALLAH has
equipped the human beings to use this knowledge creatively and also
enhance it tremendously. Such ability is not found in the animal
kingdom.
Nowadays, claims are made that man is advancing very rapidly and will
soon reach the peak of perfection. Man’s advancements in technology,
science, chemistry, discoveries, etc. has created a new dimension in
this world. His speed of advancement is reaching the once untouchable
frontiers of the Universe. His scientific advancement in technology is
accomplishing that work in minutes which the physical hand could not do
a hundred of years ago. The feet required years of laborious effort to
cover distances while modern technology covers that in hours. In this
scientific era, a train, a car and an aeroplane can traverse the globe
in a matter of hours while in the past this was not physically possible.
What the physical ears and eyes could hear was limited but today modern
technology can hear and see objects millions of miles away. Televisions,
telephones, telescopes, and wireless communications can capture images
and sounds in a split of a second from the far and wide corners of the
universe while some years ago this was regarded as impossible.
People generally regarded this as an incredible achievement for mankind.
But if one carefully ponders over these special abilities and knowledge
on which the West relies for its survival, then certainly, one will
reach the conclusion that day by day man is not progressing, but in fact
regressing. It is possible that one may refute this assumption by
presenting proofs of man’s progress to the contribution of humanity.
However, man’s special skills have also led to his destruction e.g.
numerous types of drugs are researched and manufactured to protect and
enhance these special skills of man. But these proofs are actually
delusions which can be understood with a little thought.
The increase in numbers of an entity does not prove the increase of
advancement or progress of that entity. A correct conclusion can be
achieved after pondering carefully at all factors. For example, 200
years ago in a community of 100 thousand people, within 10 years it was
found that there was an increase of 10 thousand perfectly healthy and
strong people amongst them. On the contrary, nowadays there is not such
a high rate of increase of healthy people in communities. In fact in a
community of 100 thousand people, one will find the rate of a maximum of
20 or 25 thousand and that too, most of them are weak, sick and disable.
Now would you sincerely classify this as an increase or decrease?
Excessive sickness, weak physique and decrease in productivity abnormal
to natural growth rate clearly proves that the productive sperm or
special powers of the humankind were not only hindered in progress but
also not protected as it should have been, otherwise such a situation
would not have prevailed.
If a single seed is planted in the correct season and environment and
cared for strictly according to the rules of cultivation, then there is
a great hope of a healthy harvest. But if the same seed is
unsystematically cultivated certainly there will be no seedling, crop or
harvest. If by chance such seeds do sprout, then the crop will not be
healthy and if by chance the crop is healthy and produces fruit, then
this fruit will certainly not be healthy with a high rating quality.
The same applies to the seed of the human (sperm) when it is haphazardly
thrown on infertile or polluted places or illegitimately planted. The
end result of such transaction will indeed produce disastrous and
non-progressive societies. There is no shortage of doctors and
medications, yet there is a huge population of sick people seeking
medical assistance. The situation of treatment and medication is similar
to patching a hole with an old feeble piece of cloth to hide the hole or
constantly topping oil in an engine with blown rings and bearings just
to carry on moving. It is therefore most important on all sensible
persons for the sake of salvation and protecting the real essence of man
to formulate methods of correctly utilizing its special powers blessed
by its Creator, ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
By the virtue of my
personal experience, I can safely say that if 100 sick young male and
female come to me, I will find 99 of them suffering from the weakness of
the same essence (sperm). Certain medications do tone and give it
strength; and a prop offers help to one with a broken hip, but this
provides short term help to the disturbed or contaminated real essence
and characteristic of man. This short term help also depends on the
extent of damage.
But as far as the concept of protecting and serving the purity of the
human race is concerned, this is not possible by medication or
instruments. In fact, in these disturbed times, the lives of people
become senseless and bewildered when they correctly or incorrectly use
their special powers. Thus, the theory of “Adolescence is Madness” comes
to mind. The earnest contribution of an intelligent physician is that
he, on the one hand, wisely treats his patients professionally and, on
the other hand, inculcates moral ethics in the minds of the youth who
are entangled in the stormy oceans of lust and temptations of
adolescence. Always build a protective wall around a spring to contain
and protect it so that everyone can benefit from its nourishment
otherwise its water will go to waste. No matter how severe the storm of
the ocean, a well trained pilot will steer his ship safely through it.
If a river is controlled and channeled correctly, it will irrigate and
nourish the lands with new life, but an unprotected river in a storm
will burst its banks and destroy everything in its path like a wild
animal on rampage.
In this modern age many Ministries (e.g. Health) are researching and
formulating methods and chemicals to combat diseases and spending
millions to achieve this. Every municipality is loaded with files of
problems and thousand of workers and specialist are employed to solve
them. But, is there any ministry or municipality of any country in the
world that is concerned about the security and correct usage of the
essence of man and the protection of its misuses? Are any governments of
the worlds concerned about the contamination and sickness that are
spreading because of the misuse of this divinely misused essence? Which
country in the world is struggling to rectify or stop the corruption of
abuse of the core of humankind that is destroying nations and
threatening its future generations?
But alas! The think-tanks of governments are totally ignorant or
careless of this important reality. A true and sincere person will be
concerned and cry tears of blood when he sees the destruction of a
nation and its youth. The reader will find the drops of these same tears
of blood scattered in the contents of this book and this is my first
step in the service of the present day youth and its future generation.
The pages of this book are no illusions or fantasies nor are they theory
or medical prescriptions or speculations of lawmakers and theories of
scientists. They are sincere words from the depths of the heart soaked
in pain and concern for the youth of the world.
May my words through the Lord of the Universe have a profound impact on
the hearts of humankind. Oh Merciful ALLAH! Let these words be source of
guidance for all those who are astray from Your righteous path... Aameen!!
