Hazrat 'Usman-e-Ghani

Book Name:Hazrat 'Usman-e-Ghani

One does not get the time!

O devotees of the Companions! Ponder! Who performed worship to this extent? It was Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ! The one whose eminence is such that he attained the honour of becoming the husband of two of the blessed daughters of the Holy Prophet one after the other, the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave him the good news of Paradise many a time from his own blessed tongue, the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the infallible angels would even have haya (modesty) from him, and the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم took the pledge of Ridwan for his sake. In short, despite attaining such a high status, he would worship and recite the Qur’an, and he would remain striving to perform as many good deeds as possible.

Some Islamic brothers are not even able to become travellers of Madani Qafilahs, and they also remain deprived of the honour of carrying out and listening to Dars and speeches. They are not even able to perform self-accountability of their deeds and contemplate and ponder over them. Also they do not attend the weekly gatherings, and remain deprived from participating in the weekly Madani Muzakarahs. Sadly, there are some who, مَعَاذَاللّٰہ (Allah forbid), also actually cause their Fard Salah to become Qada, there are some who are unable to even seek Fard ‘Uloom [religiously obligatory knowledge], there are some who are not even aware of essential matters of the religion, and they are unable to learn the knowledge of the religion. In short, if one mentions that we should learn the religion, improve and better our Hereafter, there are some who actually appear to weep in sadness that they do not get the time.

Bear in mind! Taking out time for essential knowledge and acts of worship of the religion, and worshipping in such a manner as it has been commanded is our religious responsibility. In fact, it is necessary for a person to take time out and learn the essential matters of whichever job or field a person is related to. It is a
