Book Name:Imam Malik Ka Ishq-e-Rasool
While travelling by buses or vans it has been observed that songs or films and dramas are playing very often. It is also an excellent opportunity to present the call towards righteousness. Our individual effort on a driver according to a strategy and with good manners can save him and those who are listening to the songs and music from sins. Sometimes the same distressing scenes are seen while waiting for the bus or van at a waiting room. On this occasion, relevant people can be presented the call towards righteousness. There are many other such instances in which we get many opportunities to present the call towards righteousness. Since we get more reward for presenting the call towards righteousness, Satan by creating evil thoughts in our minds about it tries to deprive us of this great deed, though it is beneficial to make Muslims understand. Of course! In verse 55 of Surah-tuz-Zariyat, Part 27 Allah Almighty has stated:
وَّ ذَكِّرْ فَاِنَّ الذِّكْرٰى تَنْفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۵۵)
And remind, that reminding benefits the Muslims.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran) (Part 27, Surah-tuz-Zariyat, Ayah 55)
Similarly, there are many places in blessed Ahadees in which we have been persuaded to present the call towards righteousness and prevent from evil.
The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Whoever amongst you sees any evil, should change it with his hand; and the one who does not have the power to change it with his hand should change it with his tongue; and the one who does not even have the power to change it with his tongue, should consider it to be bad in his heart and it is the sign of the weakest faith.’
(Sahih Muslim, pp. 48, Hadees 177)
Do we regard as bad in the heart?
O devotees of Rasool! We should ask question from our conscience: Have we ever regarded the sin as bad in the heart which is being committed by someone and we have no power to stop it with hand or tongue?
