Prayer or escape!?


Today while i was walking towards my tailor's shop, a car sped by me and i managed to read a line printed at the back screen. :" ALLAH MUJH KO AAISA BANA DEY K TUJH KO PASAND AA JAUN"
well, many such statements are uttered in prayers daily by us but i dont know why, at that moment it struck me as funny.
I remembered an Ayyat from Quran: "And if your Lord had so willed, He could surely have made mankind one Ummah, but they will not cease to disagree. Except him on whom your Lord has bestowed His mercy, and for that did He create them. And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled (His saying): "Surely, I shall fill Hell with Jinn and men all together.'' (Surah Hud. Ayaa' 118. 119)

Now now, I admit that prayers like above are a work of innocence and oblivion. Ignorance, if i dare to be a bit more straight forward and brutal in my choice of words. Think deeply and it'll occur to you that statements like these are not only our prayers but also our blind belief. I strongly feel that people here misunderstand the Ayyat of Quran where Allah says
 " Verily, his command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, :Be," and it is."
Translation:"Aur us ki shan yeh hai k jab woh kissi kam ka irada kerta hai to kehta hai ho ja to woh ho jati hai."  (Surah Yaseen. Ayat : 82)

As far as my fragile knowledge is, i think this Ayyat refelects the sovreigniety of ALLAH, Al mighty. the fact that nothing is world falls out of his grip and everything happens because of his profound will and the moment he needs the feel to create something (physical or scenarios) He, orders it "to be". This Ayaat is actually in context with the resurrection of people which is one of the biggest question mark for the people who donot follow Islam.

So coming back to the line which started all this argument, i donot say that its right or wrong. But the point is psychological. Its quiet simple, Allah  has made you a human, He gave you all the wisdom in this world, opened up roads to reasearch for you, what else do you want? Now, its in your hand to be evil or saint.
Coming to think of it, he has actually made you a Muslim, by birth. you are luckier than billions in the world. You cant just expect ALLAH to run your errands because you are too lazy a bone to move. plus this false ignorance is gonna stand no chance in His divine court. I think its time we open our eyes and smell the coffee. enough of this act. we are born to take charge of things. drive your won car lest you love getting smacked by so-called super powers.

Or may be, we are so used to Begging, that we cant help beg Allah to forgive us, make us good give us the comforts of heaven without our intension, our hard-work, without moving one bit. May be we want it to be like Hollywood or Walt Disney - even better! one day when i wake up, i am all saint :)
I wish I knew a spell that would wake the sordid soul of Muslims. Prayer is my spell....
