Collective Help and the Individual's Responsibility: Mawlana Muhammad Yusuf al-Kandhalwi

Advice of Shaykh Yusuf Kandhlawi (Rahmatullah Alaihi) [1917-1974]

- Taken from http://attalib.blogspot.com/

Allah’s help continues to come to the aid of individuals, but the fact that Allah’s help does not come to the nations (collective help) is due to the fact that the individuals of the nations do not perform righteous deeds as a whole. This means that only some individuals do. As long as a considerable amount of the people do not do so, they are not entitled to Allah’s favors and help in a collective manner. Thus, ‘Verily Allah does not change the condition of a nation until they change themselves’. (Quran 13:11).

‘This means that this is Allah’s law, that the general condition of a nation is according to the individual conditions of the people. Muslims desire to be a respected nation, but to achieve this, it is necessary that there should be a general turn towards good. The fact that some individual is a righteous person does not confer the label of righteousness to his nation’.

The question was asked, ‘What is the sign of anyone being the most diligent follower of the Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) and who is the most diligent follower?’‘

There is a general consensus upon the fact wherein there is no doubt at all, that from the first day of Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam)’s divine mission right up to his last breath, the work which Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) continued to do by day and night continuously was Dawa and Tabligh.

If we want to call ourselves followers of his Sunnah, we should look at our own lives and see to which extent we are following him in this work, which we all agree to, that he performed at all times. See how much of desire there is for this work, how much enthusiasm, and how much money and time are we spending upon it. There is no doubt that the greatest Sunnah is the work of Dawa and Tabligh, striving in the path of Allah Taala, and striving that Allah Ta'ala's word and commands be supreme on earth”.

‘The solution to the problem of the bad conditions wherein the Muslims find themselves today, lies in the Dawa ila llaah (calling towards Allah). Allah says, ‘Oh` Messenger!! Convey that which has been revealed to you and if you do not, you have not delivered the message. Allah will save you from the people’. (5:67).

In other words, if you deliver My message, I will become your protector and Helper. I will be your helper against your enemies and cause you to become victorious over them. Do not fear, for no one will be able to harm or prevent you from doing work.

Outwardly, it seems as if this is directed at Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) alone, but it is also addressed to those who follow in his path. He handed this responsibility over to them as is mentioned in the Hadith, ‘you are Allah’s witnesses on earth’.

The fact that Allah says in the above verse, ‘Allah will save you from the people’ is a clear indication that Dawa ilallãh, calling towards Allah is the secret solution of all the problems of Muslims since through it, Allah guarantees their protection.

‘There is no need to make Mushwara (consultation) with regard to the performing of good deeds. Shah Abdul Qadir writes regarding this point that when an intention arises in the heart of anyone to do any good deed, he should do so immediately because it is possible that within a short while that intention may change. It is possible that the mind may tell him (at the time of charity), ‘Why give one note, or what is the use of giving one note when you are unable to give a thousand?’ In all these thoughts the result may be that not a single note will be given and he will be deprived of the reward completely.

So when an idea of doing a good deed arises within one, it should be performed immediately. There is no need to make Mushwara or Istikhaarah. Mushwara and Istikhaarah only concerns those matters where the truth and benefits are not clear and obvious’.

The true meaning of Fana

- Taken from http://shadeofrahmah.blogspot.com/

Someone once enquired after the health and well-being of a wali (Friend of Allah) in the manner that is customary saying 'How are you'. The wali replied ' Do you ask after the well-being of a man who never experiences anything against his pleasure?' Amazed, the man asked whether this was really so, and the wali said 'Of course, I have made my desire in accordance with whatever Allah desires, and does anything happen that is against His Desire?'

The concept of 'fana' in tasawwuf is nothing more then this and every Muslim will do well to achieve it.

Happiness is so elusive in our times, but if we apply this simple formula as much as we can to the events in our lives, we too like this elder will be surprised when someone enquires how we are!

The importance of keeping busy

- Taken from http://shadeofrahmah.blogspot.com/

It is quite true that many sins are a result of too much eating and merry-making. All these things seem to crop up when one's belly is full and mind is free - get an eyeful of a non-Mahram, throw a few comments here and there, fall in love with yet another. Hungry ones will never think of taking up such exploits, but what else will a person - who's got a years worth of wheat in his larder be up to, other than ogle at women. He'll be completely free from worries of that sort and with nothing else to do, his days will be devoted to such pursuits.

Though as soon as such louts get entangled in a lawsuit or suchlike, all that tomfoolery vanishes into thin air and day and night we see the poor things worried sick over the developments, whilst eating, drinking and sleep is all but forgotten. This is why the elders have written that one should always keep himself occupied by something, if not something deeni then at least a permissible activity of the dunya. Keeping busy helps prevent the nafs from thinking up some mischief whilst too much free time lets us roam our eyes in all directions. Thus, it provides good protection against many sins.

From here, the less well-off among us should feel grateful that Allah has not given them an easy life. They like to cast wistful glances at the rich people around them, who have nothing to worry about and spend at leisure, thinking how wonderful it would be to have no concerns, but what they don't know is that because of such carefreeness they are falling prey to many sins, whilst you are so occupied with your struggles that you don't have time to indulge in such things and earn Allah's wrath.

What is Dunya?

- Taken from http://annoor.wordpress.com/

Maulana Rumi (RA) explains the reality of the dunya by posing the question, “What is dunya?” Some ignorant people say, “Kick the dunya aside, kick the dunya aside!” Our Shaikh Hazrat Hakeem Akhtar (DB) says, “If you do not have money, and if you do not have food, then you will not be able to even lift your leg up to kick the dunya aside.” From this we can understand that wealth is not necessarily dunya. Then what is? Maulana Rumi sums it up in one line, where he poses the question, and then answers it. He says, “What is dunya? It is to be unmindful of Allah.”

Clothes, silver, gold, money, wealth, wife and kids are not necessarily dunya, provided they do not make a person unmindful of Allah. In other words, all these things are kept according how Allah wants them to be, and he does not use any of these things in disobeying Allah, then this person is a man of God, and is not materialistic. On the other hand you have a person who is broke. He spends his life hungry and goes through financial difficulties, but is negligent of Allah, and disobeys Allah, and then this person in reality is materialistic even though he has nothing. We understand that even living in luxury and affluence, a person can be a wali of Allah, and contrary to this, in poverty and hunger; a person can be distant from Allah and materialistic. That is why Maulana Rumi (RA) has defined dunya as negligence towards Allah, not wealth, and prominence.

The proof of this statement can be found in the Tafseer Ruh-ul-Ma’aani under the verse where Allah says, “And the life of this world is nothing but capital of deception.” Allah uses the Arabic word mataa’, so what really is mataa’? Allamah Aalusi (RA) (the author of the above mentioned Tafseer) mentions that mataa’ actually refers to a cloth that women normally use in the kitchen to wipe and clean the kitchen area. So it is something very low and worthless.

Allamah Aalusi (RA) poses a question in his Tafseer that when is the dunya considered lowly and bad? He answers by saying that the dunya is only bad when it makes you unmindful of the Aakhirat. The dunya is carrion, and its seekers are dogs. But this is with a condition, and the condition is that it should make one unmindful of the Aakhirat. Allamah Aalusi (RA) mentions that if the dunya does not make one unmindful of Allah and the Aakhirat, and the dunya is made as a means to attain the Aakhirat, then it is a great capital and saving. One person uses his wealth to serve the Ulamaa. He donates his wealth to masjids, and madrasahs. He makes utilizes his wealth for Islamic publications. He feeds students of deen and pious people. So is this person’s wealth merchandise of deception? Is it lowly and degenerate? No, rather it is a great capital that he has saved up, which is being sacrificed for the sake of Allah. That is why it is mentioned in a hadith, “No one but a pious person should eat your food.” The reason for this is that the pious person after eating will get strength and energy and he will do good deeds. So the one who fed him will also have a share in the reward and this will be a form of Sadaqah Jaariyah (continuous charity). So this form of dunya is not debased because it is being used as a means to build the Aakhirat.

This type of wealth is not given to everyone. Everyone is not so fortunate that their wealth does not make them unmindful of Allah. My Shaikh, Shah Abdul Ghani (RA) used to say that Allah does not disclose the secret of His love to every heart. He then would recite some poetry in Farsi with great enjoyment. The meaning of the poetry is as follows:

Allah does not disclose the secret of His love to every heart.

And every eye is not always fit to guide one on His path.

Every pearl is not given the honor of being part of the king’s crown.

And every messenger was not blessed with the ascension (me’raaj).

Not everyone is chosen for the service of the Deen.

One out of a thousand is blessed with this honor.

I pray that Allah gives us the taufeeq to utilize whatever dunya we have for the sake of Deen, and also that Allah include us amongst those that He has chosen for the service of His Deen. Aameen.

Four actions if one adopts Inshallah will become a wali before he passes away

-Taken from the book, The Four Actions by Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahib (DB)


The Four Actions

There are four actions which if one adopts, Insha Allah, he will become a wali before he passes away. With the barakah of practicing these four actions, Insha Allah, he will gain the ability to practice all the other commandments of deen. This is because generally people find these actions to be hard on the nafs. Like the student who manages to answer the difficult questions on a test will have no problem answering the easy ones. So, the one who suppresses his nafs for the pleasure of Allah and carries out these actions, practicing deen will become easy for him, and he will die as a wali of Allah.

The First Action: Keeping a Beard to the Extent of One Fist in Length

The following is reported in a hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari (RA):
“Oppose the Mushrikeen! Lengthen the beards and shorten the moustaches. When Hazrat Ibn Umar (RA) used to go for Hajj or ‘Umrah, he would take hold of his beard in his fist. Whatever amount of the beard was in excess of the fist, he would trim it.” (Bukhari vol. 2, pg. 875)

In another hadith the following words are used:
“Make the moustaches extremely short and lengthen the beards.” (Bukhari Vol. 2, pg. 875)

It is wajib to keep a beard to the extent of one fist just as it is wajib to perform witr salah, and the two ‘eid salats. All the four imams agree on this issue. Allamah Shaami writes:

“To trim the beard when it is shorter than one fist in length as practiced by some people of the west and the hermaphrodites, has not been permitted by anyone i.e. any scholar.”

Hazrat Thanwi (RA) writes in Behishti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments), “It is haram to shave the beard as well as to trim it less than the length of one fist.” (Behishti Zewar section 11, pg. 115)

The word for beard in Arabic is lihyah which comes from the Arabic word for jaw. Therefore, the beard should be to the extent of one fist from the chin, the right side of the jaw, and the left side of the jaw, i.e. it should be the length of a fist from all three sides. Some people grow the beard to one fist from the chin but trim it to less than a fist from the sides. This is incorrect. If any one of the three sides of the beard has been shortened less than a fist, then this is a major sin.

The Second Action: Keeping the Ankles Exposed (This ruling applies to men. Women should cover their ankles.)

It is impermissible for males to cover their ankles with their pants, trousers, shalwars, thoubs or any other form of clothing (socks excluded). There is a hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari that states:

“Whatever portion of the ankles is covered by the lower garment will be in the fire.” (Bukhari Vol. 2 pg. 861)

It is clearly understood from this hadith that to cover the ankles is a major sin since the warning of punishment of the fire of jahannam is not given with regards to minor sins. In Bazl-ul-Majhood, the commentary of the Sunan of Imam Abu Dawood, Maulana Khaleel Ahmad Saharanpuri writes, “Izaar in the above hadith refers to any such garment that covers the ankles from above going downwards like pants, shalwars, kurtas, thoubs etc. To cover the ankles with such garments is forbidden. Izaar does not refer to anything that is worn from below such as socks or khuffs. Hence, there is no sin in covering the ankles with socks or shoes. So if someone really feels the urge to have their ankles covered, they should wear socks. The prohibition of covering the ankles with garments worn from above is applicable in two conditions: a) while standing, and b) while walking. Thus, while seated or reclining, if the ankles are covered by one’s izaar, then there is no harm. Some people dwell under the serious misconception that it is only necessary to expose the ankles in salah. So upon entering the masjid, they fold up their pants and expose their ankles for the duration of the salat. When they are leaving, they fold their pants back down. It should be noted that this rule is not restricted to salah but is for all times and all places. Allamah Khaleel Ahmad Saharanpuri (RA) also states:

“This command applies to males and not females.” (Bazl-ul-Majhood pg. 57)

Once a Sahabi (RA) said to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam), “My shins have dried up.” What he meant was that because his shins, including his ankles, were skinny, and thin, they seemed a bit unsightly, and he wanted cover them up. However, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) did not permit him to do so. Instead he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “Verily Allah does not love the one who covers the ankles.” (Fath-ul-Bari Vol. 10 pg. 264)

Dear friends, think for a moment! Is it wise to deprive yourself of the love of Allah simply for covering the ankles? On another occasion, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said to another Sahabi (RA) who had his shawl dragging on the floor, “Is there not an example for you in my way of life?” (Fath-ul-Bari Vol. 10 pg. 263)

The question is actually an affectionate warning. Thus, the mere claim of love is not sufficient. Love in reality makes one to follow the beloved. As the poet says, “Verily the lover is obedient to the beloved.” The dictates of the love of Allah and His messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) demand that we do not disobey them. If we are obedient to them, then our claim to love them is true.

The Third Action: Guarding the Gaze

In this day and age there is a great negligence in this regard. Many people do not even regard the casting of evil lustful glances to be a sin whereas Allah has given the command of protecting the gaze in the Quran. Allah says, “Say (O Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)) to the believers that they should lover their gazes.” This verse refers to looking at non-mahrams (a person with whom one is permitted to marry). Likewise, they should not gaze at beardless youth because they too resemble women. In fact, even if a youngster’s beard has grown to some extent but one still finds the heart somewhat inclined towards him, then to look at his also haram. The crux of the matter is that any such face that one finds attractive, and derives pleasure by looking at, then surely this is forbidden. To guard the gaze is such an important issue that Allah has separately commanded the women to also guard their gazes. Allah says, “And say to the believing women that they should lower their gazes” (Surah An-Noor)

This issue is unlike the command of salah, fasting, and other commandments where Allah has not given a separate commandment of the same issue to women. Rather the males have been addressed and the women have been included in those commandments because in Arabic, when a mixed gathering is addressed, the masculine form is used.

In a hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari (RA), Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) has said, “a Lustful glance is the fornication/adultery of the eyes.” (Bukhari vol. 2 pg. 923)

The person who casts lustful glances and indulges in any form of fornication/adultery can never even dream of becoming a wali unless they sincerely repent from this evil.

In another hadith, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) is reported to have said, “May the curse of Allah be on the one who looks lustfully and on the one who is looked at with lust.” (Mishkaat, Book of Nikah, Chapter on looking at a woman for proposal)

In the above mentioned hadith, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) cursed both the person who casts lustful gazes and the one who is gazed at due to not adopting proper hijab etc. Those who fear curses of the saints and pious people should be more fearful of the curse of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam). Therefore, if an accidental gaze falls on a beautiful face, shift the gaze immediately. Do not allow the gaze to remain focused on that face even for a single moment.

It is understood clearly from the verses of the Quran and from the hadith that the person who casts lustful glances has been given the following three evil titles:

1. Disobedient to Allah and Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)

2. Fornicator/Adulterer of the eyes.

3. Cursed by Allah and Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)

If a person is addressed with any of these titles, they would feel hurt and dishonored. So if a person wants to remain safe from these titles, it is necessary to guard the gaze.

Some foolish people object by saying, “What major wrong have we done? We did not take anything or do anything to anyone. All we did was look. These molvis scare us for no reason.” O foolish person, it is not the molvis who are frightening you, it is Allah and Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) prohibiting you and consequently cursing you. ‘Ulamaa do not make up matters of Deen, their job is merely to explain and expound the already present matters of Deen. The verses of the Quran and the hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) mentioned above, are they the sayings of any molvi?

Beyond this, I say to such people who claim that they have not taken anything or done anything but look, is that if that is all you are doing then do not do it if it is so insignificant. Simply stop looking. It is quite clear and obvious that they are taking something and doing something when they are looking with lust. They are actually deriving haram pleasure which they are importing into their hearts. As a result, their hearts are being destroyed.

When a person casts lustful glances, they become distanced from Allah that to such a degree that no other sin pushes them so far away. The qiblah of the heart completely changes from being directed towards Allah, is now being directed towards the one this person is glancing at. The heart of this person has now turned its back on Allah. Now, whether this person is performing salah, or reciting Quran, or anything else, that beautiful face is in front. When in solitude, the mind is thinking about that same beautiful person. Instead of the zikr of Allah, the zikr of that person is in the heart. The heart is not subjected to such destruction by means of any other sin as compared to how it is destroyed by lustful glances. For example, a person has missed salah, or lied, and then his heart will be diverted by 45 degrees. But he will repent and ask Allah for forgiveness and then his heart will once again be directed towards Allah. On the contrary, the sin of casting lustful glances will make a person completely unmindful of Allah, and the love of the person he has gazed at settles in his heart. As a result, some people have even lost their Iman at the time of death.

Allah Ta’ala has declared in a hadeeth qudsi, “Verily the lustful glance is a poisonous arrow from the arrows of shaytan. Whoever leaves casting of lustful glances out of My fear, I will give him in return such Iman, the sweetness of which he will taste and feel in his heart.” (Kanz-ul-’Ummaal Vol. 5 pg. 328)

In other words, he will physically acquire the sweetness of Iman which will be present in his heart. This in not a fantasy or part of someone’s imagination. We have not been instructed to imagine the sweetness of Iman, but rather the word “yajidu” that has been used in the hadith is indicative of a physical experience of the taste of the sweetness of Iman.

Dear friends! Implement this advice and see the effects for yourself. The heart will experience such sweetness of Iman that as a result, the value for the kingdom of the whole world will perish from one’s heart. Imam Qushairi writes in his Risalah that by the injunction of guarding the gaze, Allah has taken away the pleasure of the eyes, but in return He has granted the non-perishable sweetness of Imaan. Mullah Ali Al-Qari writes that it has been narrated that once the sweetness of Iman enters into the heart, it will never exit. This is an indication that the person will die with Iman. The reason for this is obvious since when Iman will leave the heart after entering it, death will also come upon Iman. In today’s time, this treasure of dying with Iman is being distributed in the shopping malls, at the airports and any other public place. Protect your gaze in these places and gather the sweetness of Iman. Thus, you will acquire the guarantee of death with Iman. Keeping this in mind, I say that if in these days there is an abundance of nudity, lewdness, and a lack of shame and modesty, then coupled with that there is also an abundance of opportunities to gather the sweetness of Iman. Guard your gaze and partake of the halwah of Iman. This is for both men and women

4.Fourth Thing : Protecting the Heart and mind (thoughts)

Along with guarding the gaze, protecting the heart is also necessary. Some people guard their gaze, but they do not protect their hearts. They do not cast lustful glances but they do not protect the heart from fantasizing about beautiful women or men. They derive haram pleasure by fantasizing or imagining. We should realize that this is also haram. Allah mentions, “He knows the treacheries of the eyes, and that which you conceal in your hearts.” (Surah Al-Mu’min) Allah knows of the haram pleasure that a person derives in their heart. If the sins of the past come to mind on their own, these in it of themselves are not wrong. It is wrong and sinful to bring these thoughts to mind on one’s own accord. If an evil thought comes to mind, one will not be held accountable for this. However, when an evil thought comes to mind, then to entertain that thought (by thinking further about it) is haram, or to deliberately think of previous sins and derive pleasure from it, or to plan to commit a sin in the future. These aspects will invite the displeasure of Allah. Another severe harm of thinking of these evil thoughts is that the desire to commit sins increases. The result of this is that a person might physically become involved in sin.

May Allah protect us and save us from all these haram acts. By the barakah of being protected from these sins, Insha Allah, it will become easy to abstain from all sins.
To gain taufeeq to practice on the above four actions, one should complete the following four tasbeehaat:

1.) In the state of wudhu, clean clothes, with perfume applied, faced towards the qiblah, meditate over the fact that your grave is before your eyes. Before everything else, negate your own self. Thereafter negate everything other than Allah and recite 100 times لا اله الا الله

When you say لا اله then you meditate that all the beloved things of this temporary world and all the false idols (which have taken shape in the form of carnal desires in my heart) are being negated.

Meditate that a pillar of light from the ‘Arsh of Allah Ta’ala is entering your heart when you say الا الله

2.) For Males: Make zikr of ismuz-zaat by saying الله the blessed name of Allah Ta`ala 100 times. Imagine that with your tongue, the heart is also saying the name of Allah. For Females: Make tasbeeh by saying Subhaanallah 100 times.

3.) Recitation of Istighfaar 100 times.

4.) Send prayers upon the beloved Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) by reading 100 times

Maal kaha sey kamaya aur kaha kharch kiya, (Aalim Saab) ,Friday Bayaan , 30 Nov 07

Allah ta'ala ney har musalmaan key zimmey chaar kaam rakhey hai .

1.Aadmi khud neik baney aur

2.Amal-e-Saleha ki pabandi karey

3. Dusron ko bhi neiki ki talqeen karey aur

4. Amal-e-Saleha ki talqeen karta rahey


- yani khud bhi neik aur saleh banna aur dusra ko bhi neik aur saleh bananey ki koshish karna. Ye bunyadi kaam hai jo har musalmaan key zimmey hai. Musalmaan is duniya key ander jo zindagi guzarta hai woh zindagi inhi kamo key liye guzarta hai , lekin aaj duniya ki mohabbat ki wajeh sey , ghaflat ka parda kyunkey hamari aankho per , hamari akhlo per padgaya iski wajeh sey , hum jo zindagi guzarrahey hai waisey hi hai jaisi bey-imaan logon ki hai. Zyada sey zyada faraq nazar aata hai toh woh zahiri shaklo soorat ka , ya chand e'badaat ka farq nazar aata hai. Bas iskey ilawa baakhi zindagi key aur gosho key ander aadmi ka mehnat ka , koshish ka maqsad jo hai woh aisa bangaya hai jismey bazahir musalmaan aur ghairmuslim ka farq nazar nahi aata.


Musalmano ki zindgai aisa mehsoos hota hai -ye maal sirf isliye kamatey hai taakey shaadiyo aur takhreebaat mein maal udadey , aisa mehsoos hota hai key zindagi ka bada maqsad shaadiya aur takhreebaat karna hai. Balki humney apni ghaltiyo sey shaadi ko itni badi musibat banaliya key eik aadmi apni puuri zindagi bas baccho ki shaadiya karney per sarf kardeta hai. Kya kiya puuri zindagi mein bhai? - Puri zindagi mainey apney chaar chey baccho key shaadiiya kardi .

Jo cheez eik zaroorat key darjey ki thi aur jisku Allah ney aasaan banaya tha usko hamney itna dushwaar banadiya key usii key liye puuri zindagi sarf horahi hai.


Ab bas-auqaat baazey bado buzurgo ko dekha jaye toh woh apni zindagi key akheer hissey mein ye kehtey huwe nazar aayingey key -" Saab zindagi bhar mehnat kartey rahey , behrehaal baccho ki shaadiya hogayi . Ab fursat hai . " - Yani puuri zindagi ki mehnat ka khulasa ye hai key uss mehnat sey unhuney baccho ki shaadiya kardi. Merey dosto ye kyun hai? - ye hamari apni ghaltiyo ka nateeja hai . Jo cheez bahut aasaan thi hamnein usey bahut dushwaar banadiya.


-Maal jo insaan key haq mein muqaddar hai woh insaan ko zaroor milta hai , aadmi chahey halaal tareeqo sey ley chahey haraam tareeqo sey ley. Allah key Rasul (saws) eik hadith mein irshaad farmatey hai key Ruuhul-Qudus Jibraeel ney merey dil mein ye baat daali - " key khuub sunlo key koi shaks mar nahi sakta yahan takkey woh apni rozi ko puura karley" , bas Allah sey daro aur sahi tareeqo sey maal haasil karo , ghalat tareeqo sey koshishey mat karo uskey liye.


Hazrat Ali (rz) eik martaba masjid mein tashreef lejarahey they toh apna ghoda eik aadmi key supurd kardiya key main namaaz padkey aau , utni der tak iss ghodey ki hifazat karo. Namaz padkey hazrat waapas tashreef laye toh ghoda toh maujood tha lekin ghodey pey baithney ki jo zeen hoti hai woh ghaayab thi . Hazrat ney ghoda leliya , bazaar gaye key zeen khareedlengey toh dekha key dukaan mein wahi zeen rakhi huwi hai jo chori hogayi thi . Hazrat ney dukaandaar sey uss zeen ko khareeda aur ussey poocha key bhai ye tumharey paas kahan sey aayi . Toh usney kaha abhi eik shaks mujhey bechkar gaya. Hazrat ney poocha kitney mein beycha . Usney kaha do dirham mein becha. Hazrat ney kaha-" khuda key bandey ney jaldi ki , merey dil mein niyyat ye thi key jab namaaz padkey aaunga toh usey do dirham dunga". Toh ager thodi der intezaar karta toh usey ye do dirham halaal tareekhey sey miljaatey , mager usney bajaye halaal tareekhey key jaldi karkey usey haraam tareekhey sey haasil karliya.


- Aaj hamarey mashirey key ander nikah dushwaar hogaya hai aur burayi key tareeqey aasaan hogaye hai , halaankey Allah key Rasul(saws) ney farmaya key -" Nikah aasaan karo yahan tak key burai dushwaar hojaye. "

Baazey waqt maa baap bhi badi ghalti kartey hai . Aulaad key jo huqooq maa baap key zimmey haii unmein sey eik haq ye hai key jab woh nikah ki umr ko pahunch jaye aur munaasib asbaab ho nikah key, toh phir usmein takheer na karey. Bahut sey maa baap ismein badi takheer kartey hai jiski wajey sey apney baccho per zulm aur zyadadati bhi kartey hai . Aur hadith mein ye bhi hai key -" Ager maa baap ney kotahi ki, baccho key nikaah mein takheer ki aur woh ghalati mein mubtala hogaye toh jaisey bacchey gunahgaar hongey maa baap ko bhi gunah hoga.



-Ghar banaye aadmi , apni raahat sahulat key liye banaye , koi mana nahi hai. Allah ney diya ho toh achcha khaye , acchey makaan mein rahey mager ye hai key aadmi shaan aur shaukat key liye istemaal nai karey inn cheezo ko . Allah key Rasul(saws) ney farmaya -" Chuna mitthi ye maal ka battareen masraf hai ", aap (saws) ney ussey mana farmaya. Baakhi aadmi apni raahat key liye istemaal karey toh gunahgaar nahi , mager shaan key liye istemaal karta hai toh gunahgaar hota hai.


- Maal kaha kharch karsaktey hai :
Maal kharch karey aadmi , mukhtalif jagho per toh usmein teen darjey jaayaz hai aur eik darja najaayaz ka hai. Teen darjey ye hai

• 1. Zaruurat key liye kharch karna , ye bhi jaayaz hai . Jaisa kapda khareedta hai aadmi , toh apni zaruurat jo puuri hogi woh toh motey dhatey kapdey sey bhi puuri hojayegi . Uskey liye kharch kareyga jaayaz hai.


• 2. Duusra darja raahat ka hai - key kapda aisa khareedey key sardiyo mein garam kapda ho , garmiyo mein thanda kapda ho , aisa kapda jissey raahat pahunchey , aaraam pahunchey , aisa kapda khareedta hai , kuch mahinga hai zyaada paisey dena padta hai , Allah ney gunjayish dee hai toh chalo raahat aur aaraam key liye paisa kharch karo ye bhi jaayaz hai .


• 3. Teesra darja hai key kisii darjey mein zeenat , munaasib hudood mein . Ab jaisey mard hai , mard itni zeenat toh ikhtiyaar nahi karsakta jo aurato waali zeenat hai . Toh mard mard ki munaasibat sey , aurat aurat key munasibat sey . Dekhney mein accha lagey kapda , aisa kapda khareedliya , chalo ye bhi jaayaz hai .

4. Lekin chautha darja hai numayish ka , numayish ka matlab logo ko dikhaney key liye , logo mein naam haasil karney key liye . Ye najaayaz aur haraam hai .

- Aajkal hamaari takhreebaat mein hamrey aurto mein badaa marz hai , itna aam aur itna jadd pakda huwa marz hai key kuch poochiye mat, key kapdey chahey kitney hi acchey maujuud ho lekin uskey bawajuud bhi har martaba naya joda . Aap batayye ismein in teen darjo mein sey kounsa darja hai ? - Zaruurat ka , Raahat ka , Zeenat ka ? , ya Chautha darja hai ? . Dekha jaye toh bas chautha darja hai , Shaan . Yani ye baat beyizzati ki mehsoos ki jari hai key eik kapda jo pehna usey phir dubara pehna jaye .

*Aur iskey baad bahut sey toh sahibe gunjayish log aisey hai jinkey dil mein itni bhi gunjayish nai hai key istemaal nai karrain so kapdey logon ko dedey. Aisey akhal key dushman hai key apney gharo key almariya chappalo , jooto aur kapdo sey bharey jaarahey hai , pata nahi kya karingey - saath lejayingey khabrastaan mein ? khabar bharingey ussey apni ? Zara akhal aur samajh sey kaam karna chahiye . Eik ho , do ho , chaar ho , chalo bhai sahulat raahat jismein ho , ab ye kya hai key dher lagta jaara , almariyo pey almariya bharti jaarahi hai .Toh gharz ye hai key ye darja numayish ka hai .

Aurto mein toh khaastaur sey hai , mardo mein bhi hota hai , aisa nahi key mardo mein nai hota bilkul. Ab dekho key kapda kisliye pehenrahey ho , sawaari kisliye khareedrahey ho , makaan aalishaan kisliye banaarahey ho . Ager niyaat ye ho key makaan aalishaan isliye ho taakey hamaara naam hojaye , gaadi acchi isliye ho taakey hamara naam ho , kapdey aisey isliye ho taakey hamaari shohrat ho - ye baat Allah ko napasand hai.

Baakhi ager ye jazba na ho , toh apni raahat aur zeenat key liye accha khaana , pehenna aur acchi cheez lena ye mana nahi hai. Allah key Rasul (saws) ney eik saahab ko dekha key badey mailey kucheley sey hai . Aap (saws) ney dariyaaft farmaya kya tumharey paas gunjayish nahi hai ? Unhuney arz kiya - "Allah key Rasul , Allah ney mujhey khoob diya hai ". Aap ney farmaya , phir tumney aisi haalat kyun banarakhi hai - "Allah ta'ala iss baat ko pasand farmata hai key uski ne'mat ka asar bandey per dekha jaye". Lehaza tumhey munaasib kapdey pehenna chahiye , aisi haalat nai banana chahiye. Mana farmaya Aap(saws) ney.

Lekin jo shohrat wali baat hai uskey mutabiq aapney farmaya - " Jo shaks shohrat ki gharz sey koi kapda pehneyga duniya mein , Allah ta'la qiyamat key din usko zillat ka libaas pehnayingey phir usmein aag dehkayingey ". Naamo namood ka jazba na ho . Aur ye cheez har jagah hai , khilaye pilaaye aadmi, mehmaano ko raahat pahunchaney key liye khilaaye , koi buri baat nahi. Lekin naamo-namuud key liye khilaaye toh phir gunahgaar hoga. Mehman ki khidmat ka jazba ho , shaan ka jazba na ho. Iskaa ehtemaam karna chahiye.


-Makaan banarahey hai , pardey ka koi lihaaz nahi . Allah ney maal diya hai toh makaan aisa acchey andaaz sey banao key jismein parda ka ehtemaam aasaan hojaye toh kounsi musibat aajayegi. Allah ki nemat Allah key farmabardaari mein istemaal karo.


Pehley ghar key ander , eik jagey ghar ki masjid key liye maqsoos rehti thi , toh gharz ye key pehley ghar key masjid ka tasawwur tha lekin ab toh ghar key ander baazey maaldaar log toh naauzubillah gaaney bajaaney ki jageh muqarrar karrahey hai mager masjid ka koi tasawwur nahi. Jis gaaney bajaney key cheezo ko mitaaney key liye Huzur tashreef laye they , Aap(saws) ney farmaya - "mujhey inn cheezo ko mitaaney key liye bheja gaya haii " , apsos key woh aaj musalmaan key ghar mein zinda horahi hai aur ibaadat ki koi jagah nahi.


-Angrezi tarj ka baitul khala:
Mazur logo key liye angrezi tarj ka baitul khala eik aat baitul khala banadiya jaye koi harj ki baat nahi , mazur logo key liye. Lekin wohi hai bey-akhli , fashion key peechey akhal aur samajh ko chodkey bhaagna , zara apni samaj sey bhi kaam nai letey , jinko koi uzr nai hai woh bhi fashion samaj rahey hai key uss tarah key baitul khala mein baithey. Main pehley ye samajta tha key shaayad humlogon ko uska iste'maal nahi aata. Toh mainey america sey aaye huwe baaz logon sey , jo deendaar log hai , unsey main ney poocha - key hosakta hai hamein sahi istemaal nahi aata ho , aaplog sahi istemaal kartey ho toh bolney lagey - arey nai bhai , baat toh ye hai key jab isko istemaal karo toh jabtak aang dho itmenaan hi nai hota , ye hai hi waisi cheez , ye toh museebat hai . Hum toh jab bhi namaaz padna hota , jab isko istemaal kartey hai toh neechey ka hissa badan ka dhotey hai tabhi itmenaan hota warna itmenaan hota nahi. Toh mujhey maloom huwa key ye humlogon key liye , ye toh sab ka hi masla hai . Mazur aadmi hai , ghutno mein dard hai , theek hai waisa aadmi istemaal karey , koi gunah nai hai , koi najaayaz nahi hai . Acchey bharey log fashion banaye huwe hai key bas wahi banao , usiko istemaal karo . Musalmaan ko tahaarat ka ahkaam diye gaye hai , cheeto sey bachney ka hukum diya gaya hai .

Allah key Rasul(saws) ney safayi sutrayi key aisi cheezein jo sikhlayi hai , uss per jab kuch logo ney taan kiya toh Sahaba ney kaha tha - "hamarey nabi hamrey liye misl baap key hai , woh humko choti choti baatein bhi sikhatey hai , yahan takkey baitulkhala sey faarigh honney key liye baithney ka tareeqa bhi sikhaatey hai , hamein toh issper faqr hai ."


-Qiyamat key din Allah ko jawaab dena hai - Maal kaha sey kamaya aur maal kaha kharch kiya. Toh gharz ye key musalmaan ko iss tarah zindagi guzarna chahiye key woh aakhirat ka musafir bankey zindagi guzarey aur Allah ki dee huwi nemato ko Allah ki ita'at aur farmabardaari key ander istemaal karey aur duniya key ander dusrey logo ki tarah ki zindagi na guzarey key jinkey ander bas peth hai , khahishat hai , shaano shaukat hai , namo namuud hai , uss tarah ki zindagi musalmaan ko nahi guzarna chahiye. Musalmaan aur dusro key beech mein bada faraq toh yahi hai key Musalmaan ka yaqeen akhirat pey hai aur dusro ka yaqeen aakhirat per nahi hai . Musalmaan samajta hai asal zindagi marney key baad ki hai , aur woh samajtey hai saari zindgai yahi ki hai , iskey baad kuch nahi.
