100 percent Islamic channel, ‘Madani channel’, and acquire the knowledge of Deen, then Satan becomes a hurdle.

Those who are used to reading the entire newspapers cannot spare some time to recite few verses of the Holy Quran in months. Those who waste hours on daily basis in the company of evil friends find it difficult to participate in Madani Daurah (Madani visit) in order to convey invitation towards righteousness to the Muslim Ummah once in the entire week, and that too for only few minutes. If you invite those who waste hours on social media and phone calls to participate in the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ or Madani Muzakarah that is filled with ‘Ilm-e-Deen, then they come up with lame excuses.

Remember! Consequence of falling prey to heedlessness and sins is nothing but destruction and devastation. Before the time of our death approaches and we enter our dark graves leaving this world forever, we should appreciate rest of our life and engage in performing virtuous deeds for the pleasure of Allah Almighty while being averted to the luxuries of this world. Let’s listen to an admonitory parable of those who were averted to this world and engaged themselves in preparing for their afterlife.

A strange nation

It is narrated that Sayyiduna Zul-Qarnayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ passed by a nation and saw that they did not possess any worldly belongings. They had dug numerous graves. In the daytime, they would clean them, offer Salah in them and satisfy their hunger by eating vegetables because no animal existed there whose meat they could consume.

Seeing their simple lifestyle astonished Sayyiduna Zul-Qarnayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. Therefore, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ asked their chief: ‘I have seen you guys in such a state that I did not find any other nation in. What is the reason for it?’ When the chief asked the details of the question, then he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: ‘I mean that you do not have any provisions of this world. You do not benefit from gold and silver either.’
