etc., are the deeds by virtue of whose blessings a bondman becomes deserving of the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enable us to perform virtuous deeds and refrain from sins because a person gets deprived of Allah’s mercy due to the curse of sins.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Alawi Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: A sign of being deprived of Allah’s mercy and incurring His displeasure is that a person starts committing sins. (Risala-tul-Muzakarah, pp. 43)

And a curse of sin is that he starts committing other sins, therefore whether sin is major or minor it is better to stay away from it. Sayyiduna Bilal Bin Sa’d رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: Do not see that the sin is minor, but rather see as to who you are disobeying. (Az-Zawajir ‘Aniqtiraf-il-Kabaair, vol. 1, pp. 27)

If we develop the Madani mind-set at the time of intending to commit a sin that the Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ I am disobeying is seeing me all the time in every state, so اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ in this way, we will get rid of sins to a greater extent. Remember! All the sins are the reason of being deprived of Divine mercy. Let’s listen to some of them.

2. Disobedience to parents

One of the causes of being deprived of mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is to disobey parents, annoy them, hurt their feelings and being deprived of forgiveness  by not looking after them [especially when they are ill]. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘(Jibra`eel Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام made Du’a:) May        Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ get the person away from His mercy who finds his parents or one of them (alive) but did not treat them well, and thus entered the Hell. I replied: Aameen. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 12, pp. 66, Hadees 12551)

کس کے در پر میں جاؤں گا مولا

گر تو ناراض ہوگیا یا رب

Dear Islamic brothers! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded us to do good to parents which makes it clear that it is extremely necessary to look after parents. Goodness to parents is that one should neither say anything nor do anything
