Tawhid is about love

We must come to the very concept of tawheed (monotheism). Tawhid is not about obedience. Tawhid is about love. It comes from love and it returns to love. If you obey your Lord and you do not love, you will never truly know your Lord.  You will only know the law. There is only one way to access your Lord, and that is through love. If your heart does not skip a beat when you pray, your prayer is only a physical act. This is something that you should strive to and work toward.

There are several books exploring the two million Muslims currently held in concentration camps in China. Every Muslim in these camps has had their blood type and biological information so the Chinese government can turn them into an organ donor at a moment’s notice. These books, none of which are written by Muslims, talk about how the Chinese government shoots Muslims in the chest or stomach and brings in a doctor as they lay dying to take their kidney and liver, without anesthesia, to then trade them on the black market. China trades in approximately one hundred thousand human organs per year. Most of these organs come from concentration camps that detain Muslims. The hardest part to read were the testimonials of Chinese defectors that said a large part of the organs are sold in Saudi Arabia.

I then recalled that the so-called “Guardian of the two Holy Shrines”, Muhammad Bin Salman, said about these concentration camps, namely, that China has a right to defend itself against “terrorism”.

What type of darkness allow human beings to harvest the organs of others? What type of darkness make the entire Muslim world silent as two million Muslims perish in concentration camps? What type of darkness for the blessings of modern science to be used for a cause as demonic as organ harvesting?   What type of darkness allows for a country that is, in principle, meant to represent the sanctity of Islam to become the largest consumer of trafficked Muslims in China?

If you do not understand the meaning of God’s love, you do not understand light. If you do not understand light, you do not understand beauty. If you understood beauty, you would rather die than buy the organ harvested from a human being in a concentration camp. You would understand that God will curse you and your progeny if you save the life of your child by purchasing a kidney stolen from another child in a concentration camp. You would understand the meaning of Islam: it is a God of love who loves beauty, not these dark ugly acts.
