Craving For Justice: Why Earth is Preparing For Something Big

God always carries out His Justice. We just refuse to learn from our past.

Nobody today needs me to tell them that injustice is everywhere. People feel it in their bones — from the exhausted families everywhere, surviving under the weight of systems built against them, to the ruins of Gaza: here is a consensus, cutting across religion, geography, and race, that something is going deeply wrong. The few are crushing the many, and falsehood has become flashy, arrogant, and armed to the teeth.

Our instincts have been shaped by decades of news cycles and political logic: we wait for the strong to become weak before we expect change. We wait for cracks to appear, for allies to defect, for economies to wobble. We calculate. We measure. So, we finally despair when the numbers don’t add up in our favor.

And Faith in God is wavering…

However, God does not operate according to our spreadsheets and graphs.

I want to speak to you today not as a preacher, not as a politician, and certainly not as someone selling you comforting illusions dressed as words. But I want to speak to you as someone who has sat with the weight of injustice, scrolled through images that break the human heart, and asked God — quietly, in the dark — for how long?

But as a Muslim, I can’t shake the feeling that something is unfolding. Something momentous is being prepared—quietly, steadily—beneath all this noise. Our earth feels so heavy lately… as if it is carrying something too great to hold for long.

Tell me honestly… Do you truly believe that all this bloodshed goes unnoticed before God?

God, who holds people accountable for even the smallest iniquity …God, who punished a woman in hell for knowingly harming a helpless cat…

So, what about millions of innocent human lives? What of children buried under rubble, families erased, voices of truth silenced and terrorized? What of a people whose only “crime” was being born at the wrong time and in the wrong place?

“Do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ˹their˺ eyes will stare in horror.”
Quran 14:42

And if you are a person of faith, pause for a moment. Set aside headlines, politics, and arguments… and let God tell us what our future will look like.

“Nor would We ever destroy a society unless its people persisted in wrongdoing.”
Quran 28:59

History—if you study it carefully—is not random. There is a pattern: God does not destroy falsehood when it is weak. He allows it to grow, to expand… to feel invincible. He allows evil minds and hypocritical hearts to gather around it, nourish it, and proudly reveal their hate and criminality to the world.

Then, and only then, does it fall.

“Allah Almighty does not seize falsehood with the might of the All-Powerful except when it is at the height of its power and arrogance.”

Look at Pharaoh. He wasn’t destroyed when he was struggling. He was destroyed when he stood before people declaring: “I am your lord, the most high.”… At that exact moment—when power blinded him completely—he fell.

Look at the people of Lot. They weren’t weak or hesitant. They were bold in their corruption, even proud of it, gathering at the door of a prophet of God, craving wickedness without shame. And that is when their end came.

Even in our modern history, Hitler was not defeated because he was weak or struggling, but because he was so imperious and triumphant that he invaded Russia, one of his allies, a move that ultimately led to his downfall.

Then there’s the other side to this pattern—one we often feel uncomfortable accepting: Just as falsehood reaches its peak… Believers are tested to their limits, losing every reason or logic to not even win, but to survive.

The Qur’an describes it perfectly:

“˹Remember˺ when they came at you from east and west, when your eyes grew wild ˹in horror˺ and your hearts jumped into your throats, and you entertained ˹conflicting˺ thoughts about Allah.”
Quran 33:10

And that’s not losing, that’s the moment right before change, moments that faith becomes more than an idea, but a concrete power that reshapes a new, inconceivable reality, that marks history again and again.

Throughout history, whenever God reversed the balance, believers were not just outnumbered but also at their lowest point. The earth — in its vastness — felt too narrow for them. Every human logic, data point, and reasonable analysis led to a single conclusion: this was a lost cause.

And yet!

“When all the logic, reason, and data go against the weak, discriminated-against few — and the world turns its back on the lost cause — that is when God orders the earth to shift colors and the skies to switch flags.”

Hardship doesn’t mean God has abandoned you; it simply implies that a significant chapter in human history is unfolding, and you are at the center of an important story.

Think about it in everyday life terms.

A mother endures years of silent sacrifices, feeling unnoticed… until she finally sees the results of her patience in her children or in her career.

A person loses everything—job, stability, direction—and feels like life has turned against them. Then suddenly, something shifts. A door opens. A path appears that they couldn’t even imagine before.

A student fails again and again, questioning his worth… until persistence reshapes his future and even the futures of those around him.

These moments are painful, but they are not pointless. They are “preparation”. I can’t stress this enough!

There are laws in our universe—real, consistent laws.

And just like gravity doesn’t change based on your belief, and the result of a chemical reaction doesn’t depend on your opinion: justice and injustice have consequences, whether people acknowledge them or not.

“Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and with them We sent down the Scripture and the balance ˹of justice˺ so that people may administer justice.”
Quran 57:25

As the great scholar of Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah said:

“A just society will stand, even if it lacks faith. But an unjust one will fall, even if it is a faithful state.”

And Ali ibn Abi Talib reminded us:

“Justice is the foundation of governance.”

Now, look around the world today.

People are tired, everywhere. There is a shared feeling: that everything is off, that injustice has become unbearable, and that falsehood is too strong and widespread to be challenged.

Now, will you let it overwhelm you and lead you into despair, or will you trust in God’s laws and mercy to get through it?

We predict the outcome of a lab experiment using prior studies, and we predict with certainty the broad lines of our future by listening to the whispers of our human history and the Words of our God in the Quran.

Think of the children of Israel under Pharaoh. (I know! the irony)

They weren’t planning a revolution. They weren’t calculating victory; they were barely surviving. Pharaoh had power, wealth, media, and influence—and even controlled perception itself through magicians who shaped reality for the people.

It must have felt hopeless. And yet… we all know how that story ends.

If you’re looking at the world today and feeling anger, helplessness, confusion or even doubt

• You’re not alone. Remember that many before you and around you are experiencing these same feelings, and community is one of the greatest sources of strength we have. Lean on your friends, your family, and your fellow believers. Support one another through prayer, acts of kindness, and simple presence.

• Patience, too, is not just waiting, but actively trusting that relief is coming, even if you cannot see it yet. Hold on to our anchors when the weight feels too heavy; they may not change your circumstances immediately, but they can steady your heart,  restore your self-confidence and help you carry on.

•  Do not mistake the strength of falsehood for the default state of life. Use your faith to reassure yourself and those around you that what you are witnessing is not the victory of evil… but its final stage before collapse. When we stand together in faith and hardship, we share hope and lighten each other’s load. And what feels like weakness among the oppressed… is, in fact, the preparation for elevation.

SO, Hold On!

Hope, in this context, is not naïve optimism. It’s seeing the pattern.

It’s knowing that:

• Arrogance carries the seed of its own downfall
• Injustice cannot sustain itself forever
• and patience and hope, even when painful, are never wasted

And as always, change never comes exactly when or in the way we expect. But it will come, because justice is not a possibility; it is a law of the universe.

“`Abd Allah ibn `Amr ibn al-`As (Allah be well pleased with him) that he said:
“I saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) circling around the Holy Ka`ba saying to it: ‘How pure and good you are! How pure and good your fragrance is! How great and exalted you are! and how great and exalted your sanctity is! But by Him (Allah) in Whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, the sanctity of a believer’s blood and property in the sight of Allah is greater than your sanctity!’“”
