Book Name:Gunahon Ki Nahosat
Remember! The blessings of Ta’wizat ‘Attariyyah [Ta’wizat for which Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat has given permission.] are not confined to only a specific area or city, but rather thousands of patients are given Ta’wizat ‘Attariyyah free of charge everyday.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
For passing time in the state of Sawm…
Dear Islamic sisters! Some such unwise people have been observed who though observe Sawm, but [feel that] their time does not pass. Therefore such people do not care for the respect of the blessed month of Ramadan and pass their time with the help of Haraam and impermissible acts by becoming busy playing chess, cards, ludo, listening to songs and music, etc.
Remember! If a bet is not placed on chess and cards, etc., even then these games are impermissible. Since cards contain the pictures of living beings, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has written the act of playing cards to be absolutely Haraam. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Ganjifah (a game that is played with cards and) cards are absolutely Haraam as in them there is reverence for the pictures along with sport and frolic. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 24, pp. 141) Similarly, playing chess is also impermissible. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, part 16, pp. 511)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic sisters! We should perform more and more virtuous deeds for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ instead of wasting time in sports and entertainments of the world because we have not been given this life for sports and frolic and for entertainment, but rather we have been given this life for performing such acts which please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Undoubtedly, the world is sweet and green and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is about to give you its (the world’s) Khilafat; hence He sees what kind of deeds you perform.
(Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 4, pp. 357, Hadees 4000)
