10.15 Lizard Hole Cometh
In the Quran, Allah gave us such a detailed description of Bani Isra’il and their crimes and spiritual deficiencies because the Muslims would mirror their evolution. The well-known hadith of Muslims following the path of those before them, step by step, testifies to this depressing eventuality.
“You would walk the same path as was taken by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: ‘Allah’s Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians?’ He said: ‘Who else?’”
And when we look around us, we see as clear as day that the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم undoubtedly spoke the truth. Reflect on the relevant ayat and you will see the same behaviors and actions, not with a small minority of the Ummah, but increasingly the majority and their leaders.
To those who are not satisfied with their religion and seek to “reform” it to their liking:
“And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.”
Muhammad [Q47:38
