Aik Zamana Aisa Aye Ga | AGE OF TURMOIL
Beware! Do not consider any Muslim (especially those mentioned above) an ostentatious person because it is possible that the person we are considering ostentatious may have a good intention. A’la Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has stated, ‘Millions of rulings and verdicts change because of a change in intention.’ (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 8, pp. 98)
Therefore, considering or calling a person to be ostentatious merely on the basis of his words or actions without becoming aware of his intention may lead to the sins of backbiting, forming a negative opinion and laying a false blame which are Haraam acts leading to Hell. Therefore, instead of detecting ostentation in the deeds and words of others, all of us should ponder over our own inner and apparent conditions. If we notice any of the signs of ostentation in our heart, we should not delay in repentance and treatment. If we strive to purify our inner self, our outer self will also be purified, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
Reform your inner self
The Greatest and Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘One who reforms his inner self, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will reform his outer self as well.’ (Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, pp. 508, Hadees 8339)
Dear Islamic brothers! How the sincere bondmen of Allah hide their good deeds for fear of ostentation can be realized by reading the following parable.
