against His torment and a source to reach Him.  (Musu’at Ibn Abi Dunya, vol. 5, pp. 83, Hadees 146)

چند روزہ ہے یہ دُنیا کی بَہار       دِل لَگا اِس سے نہ غافِل ذِی نَہار

عُمْر اپنی یُوں نہ غفلت میں گُزار          ہوشِیَار اے مَحْوِ غفلت ہوشِیَار

ایک دِن مَرْنا ہے آخِر مَوْت ہے      کرلے جو کرنا ہے آخِر مَوْت ہے

Dear Islamic brothers! Every moment of our life is very precious and our life is very rapidly decreasing. Therefore instead of being deceived by this mortal world and giving no importance to the moments which are more precious than gold and jewellery, become pious by acting wisely. Do not waste your days and nights in useless activities and worldly luxuries. Do not become lazy in performing the acts for which Shari’at has commanded us and do not delay even for a moment in refraining from the acts from which Shari’at has prohibited us. We have been commanded in the Holy Quran and blessed Ahadees to offer Salah, but we do not offer Salah due to our heedlessness though Salah is an extremely important Fard (obligatory) act amongst the rights of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Salah is the pillar of Islam. Sins are forgiven through Salah. Salah protects us from diseases. Salah is a source through which Du’as are answered. The name of the person who deliberately misses Salah is written on the door of the Hell.

Shari’at has commanded us to give Zakat of our wealth only once a year if we own the Nisaab. We are busy making money only, but are heedless of fulfilling its rights though blessing in wealth is attained by giving Zakat. There is peace at home by giving Zakat. The one who gives Zakat is blessed with Divine mercy. Giving Zakat removes troubles as the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said:  Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ removes evil from the person who gives Zakat of his wealth. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 1, pp. 431, Hadees 1579)

Shari’at has commanded us to observe Siyam of Ramadan once a year, but we act heedlessly and not only do we miss Sawm, but we also eat and drink in public shamelessly. Remember! Observing Sawm is not only obedience to
