them, we remain heedless of reforming them due to our sheer laziness and shyness and remain engaged in our own reformation only.

Remember! Despite having ability and power, turning away from neighbours and other people indulged in sins by not reforming them is truly a cause of serious loss. In this relation, let us listen to a heart-trembling narration and make our mind to call people towards righteousness.

Harm of not stopping neighbour from sin

Sayyiduna Maalik Bin Dinar رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated, ‘It is written in the blessed Torah that the one whose neighbour indulges in sins and he does not prevent him (despite having the power and ability to do so) is also involved in that sin.’ (Az-Zuhd lil-Imam Ahmad, pp. 134, Raqm 527)

A deaf with cut ears

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Maalik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said, ‘If anyone hears that so-and-so has committed a sin and then does not prevent the sinner (despite having the power to do so) will be raised as a deaf with his ears cut off on the Day of Judgement. (Tanbih-ul-Mughtarrin, pp. 236)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Along with other righteous activities, our righteous predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی were also enriched with the Madani passion of reforming the Ummah. Their hearts would always remain restless to reform the Ummah. Their way of reformation was full of emotions and compassion. If someone sought advice from them while walking on the way or even during traveling, then these sacred personalities would not delay and instantly bless them with the “Madani pearls of reformation” with sincerity then and there while shedding tears and overcoming with the fear of Allah Almighty. While mentioning those Madani pearls, not only would they start shedding tears but those who would listen to them would also be overtaken with an emotional state. Let us listen to an admonitory parable and gather Madani pearls from it.
