Cat jumps on imam's shoulders with a message from Allah - Video goes viral
We have all watched the video of the Imam during the Taraweeh prayer, where a cat unexpectedly jumped onto his shoulder. This short video went viral and reached billion of views all over the world, and lots of non-Muslims got amazed by the Imam’s mercy and the powerful recitation of the Qur’an. However, it begs the question: what are the lessons we can glean from this video? What is the significance of the verses that the Imam was reciting, and what message was Allah SWT communicating to humanity through this experience?

All praise be to Allah and peace be upon prophet Muhammad SAW. Initially, we all know that some media, news, and movies in the West and East defamed Islam and Muslims. They did everything they could to make Muslims and Islam look bad. Over the years, they've spent billions of dollars. They used to show Muslims as bloody and harsh. And SubhannAllah. During a video of less than a minute, the whole world was shown the true face of Islam. That Islam is a religion of compassion and mercy. Throughout the video, we can hear the beautiful Qur'an recitation mixed with the compassion of the bearded imam, and SubhanaAllah, we see the cat happy, at peace, and kissing the imam. This short video showed the world the beauty of the Qur'an, Islam, and Muslims. In other words, it showed the world the truth about Islam, not what the bad Western media wants to spread.
It is apparent from this claim that this guy and his similars are upset and annoyed to see this effective short video destroy the reputation of a fake version of Islam that they spent money and worked hard to create. In the Masjid, no one else ate chicken or fish, only the Imam?! It's a ridiculous claim. Let them say what they want. Allah will perfect His light, even though the disbelievers dislike it.

Exactly. So far, this video has got a billion views. Lots of views in a short time. How many views will this video get after one or two months? This shows you that Allah SWT can do whatever He wants. Simply Allah could do anything. A cat spread his words (the Qur'an). As a result of the Qur'an shaking their hearts, they started asking. What does this recitation mean? 

All humans can find hope in this verse. Allah SWT can guide all humans if He wills. Walw sha la hadaakum ajmee. By this, Allah SWT is telling all humans to wake up, be sincere in seeking the truth, and demonstrate the truthfulness of your intentions, and Allah SWT will guide you. It is so easy for Allah to guide whoever He wants. As He SWT caused people to share this simple cat video to tell the world about Muslims, Islam, and Qur'an. It is similarly possible for Allah to guide you. Allah can treat your sickness easily. Allah can make you rich easily. It's easy for Allah to ease your pain. Allah SWT can do whatever He wants. Never lose hope or be sad, Allah can bring life back from the dead. Just turn to Allah SWT and accept the truth honestly. Don't say if Allah wills I'll be good. If Allah wills, I'll be guided. I would have been a believer if Allah had willed me. If Allah had willed me, neither I nor my parents would have disbelieved. 

Yes. In this verse Allah SWT is saying, Those who associated with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have associated [anything] and neither would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything. Then Allah SWT says that they say exactly like those before them till the punishment came. Allah SWT refuted their claim, and He told us the end of those who blamed the decree for causing them to be misguided. They will be punished and their punishment could be in life or in the afterlife, such as a grave punishment or hellfire. Therefore Allah SWT says, " Likewise did those before deny until they tasted Our punishment. Then Allah SWT is telling them.  Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but falsifying."

This teaches us a lot. Never follow assumptions and falsehoods without evidence. Islam is the truth. Follow it, and don't follow falsehoods or assumptions, just like your parents or the people before you. Perhaps there are some faiths that ask their followers to follow blondly without evidence or truth. So even if something is illogical to them, they still follow it such as those who worship a man, or even those who believe God was weakened and defeated by his own creation.  How can they claim such things without evidence? Because they simply follow what their forefathers told them to. And they don't seek the truth or use their rational mind given by Allah to dismiss these silly falsehoods and assumptions.

Then Allah SWT said, Say, "With Allah is the far-reaching argument. If He had willed, He would have guided you all.". Allah SWT can guide everyone. You only have to show your truthfulness and sincerity in seeking the truth, and He SWT will guide you.
