When the earth dwellers, i.e. humans reign terror on the earth, the response that comes from the Lord of the worlds, is in different forms. The constant pictures of starved human beings in Gaza, the footages of aid seekers being fired at, the terror and hunger that they face; do you think that this would go on and nothing would happen to the people of the rest of the world?
Since the past decade, there was a rise in the graphic content being shown on T.V. serials and movies, scenes of blood, bullet driven bodies, splattered brains, torn limbs, you name it, it was all on the screen. Even now, shows like The Squid Games, have an audience all over the world and even children were watching such series on Netflix. The idea that violence is a new norm, there is no need to flinch or feel disgust or horror at such scenes was being normalized all over the internet, T.V., everywhere. It was all for the sake of the new horror that was to be unleashed on human beings in real life, will not make people gape and their stomachs wont turn in with whatever that they were watching on their feeds. When the starved pictures of the people of Gaza is put up on Instagram, we shamefully put the food that we eat on our feeds. The people of Gaza are giving up their lives as they scavenge the aid that is being dropped, the people of the world are sharing the videos and clips of Master chef and their picture perfect food. This is the kind of normal that we have entered into. The place where we do watch the reels and the videos of the atrocities, the bombs and their devastation, and the wiping of an entire population, and on the other hand, we watch amazing places, delicious food, travel destinations etc. The constant paradoxes of the world bombarded on to us in our feeds , where it is hard for us to fathom exactly what is real and where our emotions should be. Our emotions are all over the place, our mind bogged down with so many things at once that we barely know what our original thoughts are and what we are fed, and how to analyze the situation at hand. The information is overwhelming, the pace of processing that information is almost zero and sorry to say, wisdom is nowhere in sight. So the information is rendered useless. So the generation has already turned into monkeys, where they only mimic what influencers are doing or what others are doing, without putting much thought into it.
The recent seismic activity in Russia and the tsunamis, which later turned into eruptions of volcanos around that area, and then these activities translating into Himalayas and creating cracks in those mountains, the recent flash floods, all pointing that something massive is in the making. There may be a lot of scientific explanations about these things for everyone, but being Muslims, we know, natural disasters and floods and earthquakes are all signs of Allah, so we may become conscious of all that we do. Though these all also amount to the signs of Day of Judgment, one may also wonder where we stand on the scales of the deeds that will rest our case. It seems like time is the ESSENCE! We are living with a live time bomb, that can go off at any time and it will wreck havoc everywhere in the world and we wont have time to react, run and save ourselves as footages of havoc being wrecked with natural and man made disasters across the globe.
