deeply that they don’t even get to know about time. Forget about these people taking a day off from work, they don’t even go to work few minutes late. Alas! Extreme level of heedlessness and laziness is shown when it comes to offering Faraaid and Wajibat, Nawafil, Salah with Jama’at and reciting the Holy Quran.

In order to develop the passion and yearning for worship and recitation of the Holy Quran, let’s listen to two blessed sayings of the Holy Prophet   صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and develop a habit for these.

   ۔1He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Allah Almighty states: ‘O person! Be free for My worship, I will fill your chest with richness and shut the door of your poverty. If you do not do so, then I will fill both your hands with commitments and will not shut the door of your poverty.’ (Tirmizi, vol. 4,       pp. 211, Hadees 2474)

   ۔2He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘Indeed, some people are Allah loving among people.’ The blessed Sahabah عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ asked: ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Who are those people?’ He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: ‘Those who recite the Holy Quran, as they are the ones who are included among Allah-loving and especial people. (Ibn-e-Majah, Kitab-us-Sunnah, vol. 1, Hadees 215)

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                                                     صَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
