Bestowals by the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  and our bad deeds

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! Just ponder on how deeply the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  cares about us. He صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  is very kind to us. Now let us ponder on ourselves: How much do we love him and what type of affection do we have for our Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ ? What have we done to please him in return for his blessed favours? And how much do we act upon his blessed sayings? Just ponder! Those who love their parents never break their hearts; those who love children never let them feel sad; nobody likes to see their friend feeling sad because we do not sadden the person we love.

But unfortunately, many Muslims at the present time claim to have devotion for the Prophet, but their actions are contrary to what they claim. What kind of devotees avoid Salah and miss Salah deliberately and by doing such things hurt the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ ? What kind of devotion is this that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  emphasizes that the fasts of Ramadan be observed, but so-called devotees of the Prophet refrain from this blessed command and miss obligatory fasts?

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  emphasizes that Taraweeh Salah be offered, but the lazy and heedless people of the Ummah do not offer it. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  orders to grow a beard, but those who claim to have love for him and are fashion-conscious imitate the enemies of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ . Is this devotion?

Let us make a collective intention that from now onwards we will not miss any Salah اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will offer five-times Salah in the first row of the Masjid with the first Takbeer اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will not miss any fast of Ramadan اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will pay zakat in full when it becomes obligatory اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. When Hajj becomes obligatory, we will not delay performing it اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will not adopt impermissible fashion trends اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will protect our gaze اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will not watch films and dramas اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will not listen to songs and music  اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will not hurt our parents’ feelings اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. We will not be heedless of the rights of Allah Almighty and people اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. To attain this mindset, we will continue to remain affiliated with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه.
