The physical power is dazzling. It is good for flaunting but not for surviva
The history of mankind is the history of violence. To be more specific, our pride is the history of murder and prostitution.
It is often noted that these two are the oldest occupations. In our thoughts, developments, research, literature the different varieties of these two basic ideas are present dominantly. If there is no power and seduction, our attention is not awakened, we do not attach importance to things. If weapons aren't shooting and there is no bed scene in a movie, we won't even watch it. Should we watch a movie on the life of a flower? Even if there is much more miracle in it. If I was male-centric, but ironic at men, I could say that the miracle for us is an earthly power and a female ass. What's more, we are able to conclude the female thinking from the female ass! Don't you see that? Surely there are exceptions…
Now I write only about earthly power and strength.
Wars, occupations of areas, consolidation of positions of power, strategic security, access to interests, and a thousand others. These are the goals. We have not heard arguments, rhetoric persuasions that would have realized the above goals. These may have come into play when balanced parties regarding strength were facing each other. The victory of violence was followed by the introduction of an ideology by which the winner chained the loser. This is how our religions took their present form. I didn't say faith! I said religions. Contrary to the prophets, our churches today teach us how to tolerate the authority and lick the victorious ass. Not only religions, but also ideologies such as democracy does the same. First comes a team that defeats you then sets the proportions in the society that always vote to secure the power of the winner. If doesn't happen like that, there is no democracy! If something goes wrong with voting, it can be corrected while the votes are counted. Somewhere even democracy started with power and will continue with power. After all, the achievements must be protected! From whom? From the attack of the external forces who want to destroy our achievements and our culture! And if there is nobody who wants to do so, we will produce an enemy whose intention is to destroy us and we ourselves maintain the potential danger of attack. That way, we can always develop the "deterrent" force that protects us. It is not the reasoning, the logic, the arguments, but the power is at the center. Military parades, military exercises, etc.
So far, the international space. Now let's see your little home terrain. How many ministries do you have? Currently: Agriculture, Home Affairs, Human Resources, Defense, Justice, Innovation, Foreign Economy, Finance, Cabinet of the Prime Minister, Prime Minister's Office. Are there any of these that are not about direct or indirect representation of power? Even Health is like that, what seems to be the most innocent, as lack of care can be manipulated! Strength tells you under how many years of age one has right for health-care and above what age the patient is left to his/her fate. What kind of disease-treatment is being funded, which is not. It tells you in what regions care is available and where it is not. Whatever ministry you analyze, the main motivation is the "threatening" of power. Or can you find a ministry for poetry? If so, you can be sure that in the long run, you will only be able to win tenders with poems of the right content. Let's say by magnifying strength. The praise of the weak, fallen, is dust in the eyes of those who practice strength. That would be a reaction!
What is Allah (SWT) teaching us?
demonstrate power, can blackmail, keep administrations alive, but when Divine power appears on the horizon, it becomes a mist. Whatever is the strength of US, Russia, China comparing to an earthquake or an asteroid strike, they would never cope with. God has asked us thousands of times in history to listen to Him and to choose the adherence and reliance (tawakkul) on Him instead of earthly power. If we relied on Him for a while we flourished, but power always came with prosperity and it was only a matter of time and the civilization of that age was lost. We see the recurring cycle of that in the human history. Allah gives us a lesson with the story of Moses, who alone confronted the great power of his age, the Pharaoh. Mathematically, what was his chance? Zero. Moses himself lived in the dazzling of power and afraid of the wrath of Pharaoh. He had doubts about the success of his mission. Don't have to imagine him like Lenin who knew from his childhood that he was going to be the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution and he was prepared for it consciously! We were still taught such stupid things. The Quran presents Moses as a human being with fear, doubts and questions. God gives the answers, fulfills his request and stands behind him. There is no earthly power that can stand above Him! You don't need to pollute your panty, I'm there! "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).”
And the Pharaoh was lost ...
Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity,- (Quran 26:10)
The part of the story of Moses told here is how Moses felt diffident about undertaking his commission; - how Allah reassured him; - how he went to Pharaoh with "the Signs"; - how Pharaoh and his people rejected him; - how their blasphemy recoiled on themselves, but the cause of Allah triumphed; in other words the point here is the reaction of a wicked people to the light that was held up to them, considered in its relation to the mind of Allah's Messenger.
"The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah." (Quran 26:11)
He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood: (Quran 26:12)
"My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron. (Quran 26:13)
Moses had an impediment in his speech, and his mission was risky: see next note. But Allah's Plan works in wondrous ways. Aaron was given to assist him in his mission, and Moses' shortcomings were transformed by Allah's grace into power, so that he became the most powerful leader of Israel.
"And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me." (Quran 26:14)
Moses was brought up in the palace of Pharaoh, as narrated in his personal story in 20:39-40 and. When he was grown-up he saw an Egyptian smiling an Israelite, and as the Israelites were being generally oppressed by the Egyptians, Moses' anger was roused, and he slew the Egyptian. He then fled to the Midianite country in the Sinai peninsula, where he received the divine commission. But the charge of slaying the Egyptian was hanging against him. He was also apparently quick-tempered. But Allah's grace cured his temper and he became wise; his impediment in speech, for he stood up boldly to speak to Pharaoh; and his fear, for he dared the Egyptians with Allah's Signs, and they were afraid of him.
Allah said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).
