Mataifa na watu baada ya kufariki kwa Manabii wao huanza kufuata nyayo za Shaytaan, hubadilisha Dini, huipotosha Risaalah (ujumbe) na kuacha Amaanah yao. Hivyo hupotea na kuabudu wengine badala ya Allah, na haibaki njia yoyote kwao ya uongofu, wokovu, wala ya kubeba Amaanah (amana), isipokuwa Nabii mpya atumwe na ujumbe mpya kutoka kwa Allah. Basi, ni njia gani inayobaki wazi kwa Ummah ya Nabii Muhammad ﷺ ikiwa Amaanah imepotea, na Sunan (njia) za wale waliotangulia zimefuatwa kwa upande wa kupotea na kufuata upotofu? Na hili ni baada ya kujua kwa hakika kwamba hakutakuwa na ujumbe mpya baada ya ujumbe huu, wala Nabii mpya baada ya Nabii huyu ﷺ?

Nations and people after the passing of their Prophets begin to follow the footsteps of Shaytaan, they change the Deen, distort the Risaalah (message) and let go of their Amaanah. They therefore go astray and worship other than Allah and no way is left for them for guidance, being saved and to carry the Amaanah (trust) unless a new Nabi is sent with a new message from Allah. So what is the path left open to the Ummah of the Nabi Muhammad (saw) if the Amaanah has been lost and the Sunan (ways) of those who came before them have been followed in terms of being led astray and following misguidance? And this is after knowing for certain that there will be no new message after this message and no new Prophet after this Prophet (saw)?

Ngome isiyotoweka kuhusiana na kulinda Ummah hii na ujumbe wake, pamoja na kubeba kwake Amaanah, ni msaada wa Allah na dhamana Yake kwamba ujumbe huu hautapotea na hautasahaulika kamwe, bila kujali ni kwa kiasi gani Waislamu wamejiondoa kutoka kwake, na bila kujali juhudi za wale wanaotaka kuupotosha.

The fortress that does not disappear in respect to safeguarding this Ummah and her message, and her carrying of the Amaanah, is the help of Allah and His guarantee that this message will not be lost and will never be forgotten irrespective of how much the Muslims have gone away from it and regardless of the efforts of those who wish to distort it.

Allah (SWT) amesema:

Allah (swt) said:

Hivyo basi, Risaalah (ujumbe) utabaki na kuendelea, na njia ya Imani na uongofu haitapotea wala kuzimika kamwe. Ujumbe huo utabaki kuwa nuru inayotawanya giza lote, na njia itabaki wazi hadi Siku ya Kiyama.

As such the Risaalah (message) will remain and continue to go and the path to Imaan and guidance will never disappear or be extinguished. The message will remain a light that scatters all darkness and the path will remain clear until the Day of Judgement.

Katika hali ambapo ujumbe utaendelea, utahifadhiwa na kulindwa hadi Siku ya Kiyama, basi nani ataubeba iwapo watu watapuuza au kuukataa? Kuhusu mataifa yaliyotangulia, iwapo yangepotea njia, Allah (SWT) angetuma Mtume na ujumbe kwao; je, basi nani atabeba ujumbe wa Uislamu iwapo watu wangepotea njia na kusiwe na Mtume?

In the case where the message will continue, be preserved and safeguarded until the Day of Judgement, then who will carry it if the people neglect to or deny it? In regards to the previous nations, if they were to go astray, Allah (swt) would send a Messenger and a message to them, so who will carry the message of Islaam if the people were to go astray and if there was no Messenger?

Kama vile Allah (swt) alivyohakikisha kulindwa kwa ujumbe huu usipotee au kupotoshwa, Yeye (swt) kwa rehema zake pia amehakikisha kwamba Ummah hautapotea na kwamba haitaacha kabisa kubeba Da'wah, licha ya wingi mkubwa wa wale waliopotoka au wale wanaopotosha na kukataa. Kwa hiyo, kama vile Risaalah yote kwa ujumla inavyolindwa na kuhifadhiwa, daima ndani ya Ummah zitabaki zile nafsi zitakazoibeba kikamilifu.

The answer to this is: Just as Allah (swt) has guaranteed the protection of this message from being lost or distorted He (swt) by His mercy has also guaranteed that the Ummah will not go astray and that all of it will not relinquish the carrying of the Da’wah regardless of the great number of those who are misguided or those who distort and deny. So just as the Risaalah as a whole is protected and safeguarded there will remain within the Ummah those who will carry it in its entirety.

Mtume ﷺ alisema:

The Messenger (saw) said:

Imekubaliwa na hii ndiyo Lafzh (toleo la maneno) ya Muslim.

(Agreed upon and this is the Lafzh (worded version) of Muslim.

Kwa hiyo, bila kujali umbali ambao Ummah inaweza kujitenga na Uislamu, jinsi inavyopotea au kufuata nyayo za Shaytaan, na jinsi inavyovutwa kwenye giza, daima kutabaki ndani ya Ummah Taa'ifah (kundi) linaloshikamana na Kitabu na Sunnah, likiangazwa navyo na kwa mwongozo wa Anbiyaa' (manabii). Watafanya kazi yao ambayo Allah (swt)

So however much the Ummah strays away from Islaam, however misguided she becomes or follows the steps of Shaytaan, and however much she is pulled into darkness, there will always remain in the Ummah a Taa’ifah (group) that holds fast to the Kitaab and the Sunnah, being illuminated by them and by the guidance of the Anibyaa’ (prophets). They will undertake their work that Allah (swt)

…amerithiwa hilo kwao, nao watabeba urithi wa Manabii, kama kundi ambalo Allah amelikabidhi jukumu la kuhifadhi Amana yake na kuibeba. Amana hii ni suala la Laa Ilaaha Illallah, nao watalishika na kulibeba mpaka Allah (SWT) alete amri yake na atimize jambo lake.

has passed on to them and they will carry the inheritance of the Anbiyaa’ as the Taa’ifah which Allah has passed on the responsibility of safeguarding its Amaanah (trust) and carrying it. This trust (Amaanah) is the issue of Laa Ilaaha Illallah and they will adopt it and carry it until Allah (swt) brings about His command and accomplishes His affair.

Allah (SWT) amesema:

Allah (swt) said:

Hivyo ndivyo Umma ya Kiislamu, Umma ya Waislamu, bila kujali ni kiasi gani inaasi au inapotoshwa, kutokana na kuwepo kwa kundi (Taa'ifah) linalofanya kazi ya Manabii, itaiwakilisha Umma bora (Khaira) iliyoinuliwa kwa ajili ya wanadamu. Hii ni kwa sababu ni Umma inayoamrisha mema (Ma'rouf), inakataza maovu (Munkar) na inamwamini Allah. Umma utaendelea kubeba jukumu alilokabidhiwa na Allah (SWT), na kulitekeleza kwa niaba ya wanadamu.

In this the way the Islamic Ummah, the Ummah of the Muslims, regardless of how much she disobeys or is led astray, will due to the existence of the Taa’ifah (group) that undertakes the work of the Anbiyaa’, represent the Khaira (best) Ummah raised up for mankind. This is because she is an Ummah that orders the Ma’rouf, forbids the Munkar and believes in Allah. The Ummah will remain charged with the responsibility that Allah (swt) has entrusted her with and to perform her responsibility on behalf of humankind.

Allah (SWT) amesema:

Allah (swt) said:

Ni wajibu kwa kila Mukallaf (mtu mwenye jukumu la kisheria) kujitahidi na kujibidiisha ili kuelewa Amana hii, ili aweze kuibeba na kwenda kwenye njia yake iliyo wazi. Atajitahidi kuwa sehemu ya kundi hili (Taa'ifah) kwa imani yake, matendo yake na juhudi zake pamoja nalo, ili kusimamisha utawala wa Allah Ta'aalaa duniani.

It is a duty upon every Mukallaf (legally responsible person) to strive and exert himself to understand this Amaanah so that he can carry it and proceed upon its clear path. He would strive to be a part of this Taa’ifah (group) with his Imaan, actions and striving along with it in order to establish the rule of Allah Ta’Aalaa upon the earth.
