Is the Ummah living in the new Gold Rush? (Sheikh Anwar Al Awlaki)
- Tarmoom Productions -
Now we find that the whole world is waging a war against us and this is similar to time of the Sahabah, which means the ajr of the people today could be very great. We are not saying it is equal to the ajr of the Sahabah but it is going to be very great. This is why Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alayhe assallam) has mentioned in a hadith that even though the best generation is of the Sahabah, then the Tabi'een, then the Taba Tabi'een, there will be a generation of people at the end of time and the ajr of one of them will be equal to the ajr of fifty! So the Sahabah asked, "Fifty of us or fifty of them?" Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alayhe wassallam) said, "Fifty of you."
So the Salah will be like the Salah of fifty Sahabah. You fast one day and it will be like the fasting of fifty Sahabah. The ajr is multiplied by fifty, why? Because of the difficulty of that time.
We notice that Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alayhe wassallam) said that towards the end of time that there will be people who will be amongst the greatest of this Ummah.
Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alayhe wassallam) said in hadith that 'Out of 'Aden-Abyan will come out twelve thousand; they will give victory to the Deen of Allah and they will be the best between me and them.'
They are the best between Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alayhe wassallam) and their time. So we can wrap all of these Centuries, and they will be the best. The reason is because their time will be most similar to the time of the Sahaba.
So why complain if you are living in the time of the new gold rush; not a gold rush for gold but a gold rush for Hasanaat? There are some times when the economy is booming so fast and everybody becomes rich and then there are times when things are stagnating and slow so these people wish they were living in the time when economy was booming so they could become a millionaire like those before. We are living in a time of a boom now; but we just need to realize it and realize the amount of ajr that is out there waiting for us if we just go and do something. The ajr is so great that it's waiting for someone to come and do something about it. If it comes at a time when things are easy then the ajr is reduced. But if the time is one of difficulty, then the ajr is increased.
Ajr is in accordance to the difficulty. So why complain about a time when really, it is the best time?
If we are talking about the time when victory is around the corner, Wallahu 'Alam if we are experiencing the knowledge of the Ghayb16 when Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alayhe wassallam) said they (i.e., the Victorious Group) will be the ones to give victory to the Mahdi, to 'Esa ibn Maryam ('alayhis salaam); if we are close to that time, the ajr is astronomical, and we do not want to be waiting on the sideline when all of this is happening; people are making millions while you are sitting at home doing nothing.
So we shouldn't complain about our time. Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alayhe wassallam) said, "Indeed Allah gathered up the earth for me so that I saw its eastern and western parts, and indeed the dominion of my Ummah will reach what was gathered up for me from it.
So this religion will reach to every continent, to every country, and to every city. The banner of La ilaaha illAllah will enter into every city. This religion will reach wherever night and day reaches; is there a place where night and day doesn't reach? So you O Kafir, O Munaafiq, if you want to hide away from this religion you will need to go to mars or somewhere else!

Talks by Anwar Al-Awlaki (in Arabic)
Al Fajr : Announcing the Martyrdom of Sheikh Abu Leith al Libi
31 January, 2008
This cowardly airstrike happened on Jan. 29, 2008 near the town of Khushali Tari Khel near Mir Ali on the Pakistan Afghan border. The rumors say that 12 brothers were martyred, Insha'Allah, including 7 Arabs brothers.
Video : Ekhlaas : Rest In Peace Abu Laith Al-Libi
Update : Feb 1, 2008 - "Like Rabia, Libi was targeted by a pilotless Predator aircraft that unleashed a missile on the house he was using in a village near the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan, a known al Qaeda hot spot in the Pashtun tribal lands on the Afghan border.
At least that is what Pakistani intelligence officials say is what happened, going by the accounts gleaned from members of the Daur tribe in an area that is virtually "no-go" for Pakistan's security forces.
The CIA, which operates drones remotely, can't openly claim the kill on Pakistani territory. Nor can the Pakistanis. It is too embarrassing for the Pakistani-U.S. alliance."
Sheikh Abu Leith al Libi, a Libyan, was 41. Asia Times link here
