Advice of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
The Companion Abū Saʿīd Khudri رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ reports that a Companion came to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said: یَارَسُوْلَ اللّٰہ! اَوْصِنِی - ‘O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Please give me some advice!’ The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave him three pieces of advice, two of which were as follows:
1. عَلَیْکَ بِتَقْوَی اللّٰہِ فَاِنَّہُ جِمَاعُ کُلِّ خَیْرٍ - Taqwā is mandatory upon you, as it comprises of all goodness.
2. وَعَلَیْکَ بِذِکْرِ اللّٰہِ فَاِنَّہُ نُوْرٌ لَکَ - And it is mandatory upon you to make dhikr of Allah. Without doubt, the dhikr of Allah will be light for you.[1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! How beautiful were the actions of the honourable Companions رِضْوَانُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِمْ? These pure individuals would sit in the presence of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and ask him to advise them. What is our condition today? What is the first thing we do when we meet a scholar or a high-profile Islamic figure? We take a selfie instead.
May Allah guide us. It is mentioned in a hadith, اَلْحِکْمَۃُ ضَالَّۃُ الْمُؤْمِنِ - “Wisdom is the lost treasure of a believer.”[2] Have you ever seen someone who has lost a valuable possession take selfies with people? This does not happen. Someone who has lost his valuables will ask people for help and make announcements: “If anyone has seen such and such item, please return it to the following address.”
