Allah always does great things through very small things. Just like Abraham’s army of elephants, small ababil birds from the sky, small pieces of stones, and Allah says, ‘Alam tara kaifa fa’ala rabbbuka bil fil.’
Meaning: ‘Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the owners of the elephants?’
Now, these students of ours, they are the new ababil birds of this society. Allah has sent them. How did these ababil birds get so much courage! We big politicians fall flat on our faces when we hear the whistle of the police. We lose our minds when we see a stick, our heartbeats stop. And these boys were going in front of the police weapons with empty hands, saying, ‘Shoot.’
When Allah closes the doors and windows of guidance for a person, they can see nothing. The Home Minister stands there and watches videos. And other people say, ‘Look, we shoot one, and another comes. No one runs away.’
‘Now, seeing this scene, it seems like they’re watching a movie. These people who are watching movies, they have no fear, no shame, no remorse. This means that the path of their guidance has been closed, or in other words, their hearts have been sealed.’
‘And those who keep coming forward after one dies, Allah has given them the courage of the Ababil birds. If those in power today remember the story of the Ababil birds and have fear of Allah, hopefully they will be blessed.
