Complete deen!

‘Arif-billahDr. Abdul Hayy ‘Arifi (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘These days major (kabair) and outrageous sins have become prevalent in our society. We consider them to be a form of entertainment. These major sins will never be forgiven until we leave them and repent. Television is being watched in each and every home. Listening music, songs, watching explicit programmes and movies are common day activities.’ 1

‘Brothers! The matter of here-after (akhira) is of extreme magnitude.

It is inappropriate to be at ease by being  ignorant of its details.

There will be enquiry about each and every thing, including your financial dealings, social etiquette and moral character.

Remember that until all of these components of deen are correct your salah, fasting, pilgrimage and zakah(all worhip, etc) will be devoid of soul and true meanings.’2

Every Sin is a sign of Stupidity

Hazrat Hakeemul Ummat Thanwi (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ) said:

“Every sin is a sign of stupidity and foolishness.“

Anyone who commits sin, then this is a sign that there is some deficiency in his intellect. He is disobeying such a Being in whose hands is our life and death, our health and sickness, peace and comfort, good and evil end. If his intellect was sound he would never commit sin.

Fasting. The wisdom and it’s affectionate explanation

اَعُوْذُ باِﷲ ِ مِنَ شَّیطَانِ الرَّجِیْم

بِسْمِ  اﷲ ِ  الرَّحمن  ِ الرَّحِیْم

يَايُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءامَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

(Al Quran 2:183)

Allah Ta’ala (Jalla Jalalahu) is showing His divine favor and mercy by saying ‘O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you’. Allama Aloosi Syed Mahmood Baghdadi have said in Tafseer Roohul Ma’ani that this ayat is revealed to provide comfort by informing that Fasting is not difficult. Fast, as people before you did. It means that this evil doubt that comes to your mind about dying by  being starved from sunrise to the sunset during the Fast (is false). No one ever died. The people before you did it and lived.

كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ

‘As it was prescribed to those before you’. The people before you had fast and they survived and no one ever died. So the suspicion of being  starved to death  by fasting, is fallacious. You will sustain. Because this is an order of the Sustainer. You will get a new life (energy) in your life by obeying His command.

لَعَلَّکُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

Why did I (the almighty Allah) made the Fasting obligatory? So that you can become a friend of Mine. You are only a slave right now. Believer enters into slavery by believing but you will only be crowned with My friendship when you will Fast. Are you all hearing the reward of Fasting? You are only a slave at the moment. If you Fast, I (the almighty Allah) will put the crown of My friendship on the head of your slavery. Because in another ayat Allah Ta’ala informs the believer اِنا اولیاء الالمتقون. ‘No one is My friend except those who are muttaqi (the pious)’. Those who abstain from sins.
