CHAPTER
3
Asking for Forgiveness
Son! Ask for Allah's forgiveness
every morning. Recite 100 times Masha Allaho la Hawla wala Quwwata Illa
Billah Astagfirullah' and 10 times Subhanallahe wal hamdo lillahe wala
elaha illallaho wallaho akbar' every morning.While coming out of the house,
keep on end of Amama' loose and recite this prayer Bismillahe wabillahe
Amanto billah masha Allaho lahawla wala quwwata illa billahe tawakkalto alallah.(Usul-e-Kafi
- 2, p. 143)When you see some incident,
don't start asking questions. When Hazrat Dawood (a.s.) saw Lookman Hakim
making Zirah' (protecting clothing) he thought of asking about it, but his
common sense prevented him from asking and he kept quiet. After he had finished
making Zirah', he wore it and said: Zirah is the best protection in war.
Then Hazrat said: Silence is a great virtue but very few practice it.Son, do all your sunnat'
prayers in seclusion so that there is no possibility of Riyakari'
(show-off), when amongst people say La Elaha Illallah,' because it is the
best remembrance of Allah. Besides, you can recite it silently. All the
alphabets are Sakit' (No Makhraj' is necessary to recite it. Then it
is called Zikre-e-Khafi). Even the sawab is also seventy times more.Son, recite as much as possible
La Elaha Illallha La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billahil Aliyyil Azim Sallallaho
Ala Mohammadin Wa Ale-hit Taherin.' These words have wonderful effect to make
Shaitain' run away from you. Recite all the Duas said by Masoomeen (a.s.)
even through it may be once in a lifetime. Do those deeds which they have done,
even though you may be able to do them once. Every deed has its effect and every
dua has its benefits. Why deprive yourself of those rewards and benefits.
Prayers and duas can be compared to fruits. When a man enters an orchard, he
wishes to taste each and every fruit. Similarly, when he enters the orchard of
prayers, he should enjoy the taste of each and every prayer and dua.Son, recite some portion of the
Holy Quran everyday specially at dawn and think over its meaning, so that you
can act on its commands. Read the Tafsir (detailed interpretation) done by
Masoomeen (a.s.) so that you can understand its deep significance.Son, as far as possible, remain
with Taharat'. Taharat is momeen's defence against Shaitan. It helps you
to answer your prayers, increases your life, wealth and honour. It improves your
health, keeps you happy and mentally alert. Wuzu is half Imaan(Mustadarak
41)As long as momeen is with Wuzu, he
gets the sawab of Taakibat.'(Wasael-1,
p. 404)One who dies with Taharat, dies a
martyr's death.(Wasael-1,
p. 404)One who sleeps with wuzu, gets the
sawab of whole nights' prayer.(Wasael-1,
p. 50)One who goes to bed with wuzu, his
bed takes the place of a mosque.(Wasael-1,
p. 50)During a dream, the Ruh (Soul) of
a momeen travels to Mal-e-Aala' (upper world). Therefore it is essential
that he is with wuzu so that he makes himself deserving of meeting with Allah
and also get Barkat.Son, at the time of waswasa'
from shaitan, recite "Auozo Billah' and Bismillah' and then say: Aamanto
Billahe wa Rosolehi Mukhlessan Lahud-deen.'Son, pray all your namaz at the
earliest time. It is better as well as it relieves you of your responsibility.
It gives rest to your body and peace to your Ruh (Soul). It is stated in the
traditions that no deed is accepted till the prayers are recited. So recite
prayers at the earliest so that all your deeds are accepted and your wealth is
increased.(Mustadarak,
p. 171)
