“Say, ‘The soul proceeds from the command of my Lord’.” The existence of the soul is confirmed in the Qur'an, yet its essence is unexplained because it is impossible for people to comprehend it. The human mind is incapable of comprehending a being from the “metaphysical world” which transcends time, size, weight, form and colour.
The pre-Islamic Arab society was a very vocal society. Using power of words only, they could sink reputations, start wars, and impact life in a similar fashion as modern media has come to demonstrate on a much larger scale. Then, as now, it was raw power like the power of the beasts of the Jungle.
Muslim doctors the world over have stood guilty of deplorable betrayal of the Prophetic medical tradition as codified in the classical Islamic healing paradigm of Tibb an-Nabawii. They are no more than servants of the parasitic petrochemical industry forged a century ago. The COVID-19 scamdemic has ripped the mask from the pretentions to legitimacy and the noxious hypocrisy of the modern Medical industry, and highlighted the embarrassing, though often unwitting, complicity of Muslim medical professionals in the suffering caused to humanity the world over.

The convergence between Uhud and our contemporary setbacks is instructive. The perennial Qur'aanic guidance is instructive to Muslims suffering today. In a fight for truth, if Muslims are hurt, be sure the adversary has suffered hurt also, the more so as he has no faith to sustain him. Success or failure in this world comes to all at varying times: We must not grumble, as we do not see the whole of Allah's Plan. Men's true mettle is known in adversity as gold is assayed in fire. Martyrdom is in itself an honour and a privilege; how glorious is the fame of Hamzah [r] the Martyr? If there is any dross in us, it will be purified by resistance and struggle. When evil is given rope a little, it works out its own destruction: the orgies of cruelty indulged in by the Pagans after what they supposed to be their victory at Uhud filled up their cup of iniquity; it lost them the support and adherence of the best in their own ranks, and hastened the destruction of Paganism from Arabia. The very same is unfolding today.
