Dear Islamic sisters! Remember, the aim of our life is to act upon and to obey the commandments declared by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. It is Fard for every Muslim to act upon and to obey the commandments of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This is because our success in the world as well as in the Hereafter depends upon obeying them. We will listen about the same important Madani pearls during the Sunnah-inspiring Bayan in Dawat-e-Islami’s weekly Ijtima’.

Did not pick up the gold ring?

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Abbas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا has narrated: The Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw a person wearing a gold ring. Removing that ring, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم threw it away and said, ‘Does anyone among you want to keep a red-hot coal of fire in his hand?’ After the Holy Rasool        صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم left, people said to that person, ‘Pick up your ring and benefit from it (by selling it).’ He replied, ‘No! When the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has thrown it away, then by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I will never pick it up.’ (Mishkat-ul-Masabih, vol. 2, pp. 123, Hadees 4358)

Dear Islamic sisters! Have you seen how obedient the blessed Companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم were to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Had that companion رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ wanted, he could have picked up the ring and used it; but his devout passion for obeying the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not agree to the fact that something that was disliked by the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and was thrown away by him should be picked up again.

Dear Islamic sisters! Being obedient means obeying orders, obeying someone. Indeed, every Muslim should be obedient to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم while following in the footsteps of the blessed companions رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم. We shall refrain from the things that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has forbidden us from and always perform those activities that he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has commanded us to perform; because obedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is Wajib (compulsory) upon the Muslims. It is stated in Ayah 1 of Surah Al-Anfaal, part 9:
