CHAPTER
2
Invitation to obedience and
warning against sin
Son! May Allah guide you to obey
Him and protect you from sins. As a craftsman loves his crafted products, so
does Allah bestows His love and affections on human beings. His rules regarding
Wajib (Compulsory), Sunnat, Haram (not permissible), Makruh etc. are for the
benefit of mankind. These orders are to protect him from loss and to benefit
him. Allah does not gain anything by man's obedience to Him nor does He suffer
any loss by man's sinning. He is Gani'. He wants to improve means to be
ungrateful to one who has bestowed His bounties on him. Not only that, it is
also foolishness, because instead of bounties, he brings upon himself losses.Son! Protect yourself from sin.
It brings dishonour in this world and
curse on the day of judgement. Adam had to get out of paradise, just because of
one Tark-e-Awla'.Son! Never remain idle and lazy.
When Shaitan and Nafse Ammara get tired of showing evil in the guise of good and
good in the guise of evil, then he creates laziness in human being so that he
may not be able to do good deeds. Remember, don't waste so much time in rest, amassing wealth, excursions and
arranging meetings and get-togathers that you feel lazy to offer prayers. Keep
worldly works in limit.Beware! Don't waste your life
in useless and unnecessary activities. Each second is worth a precious pearl
nay - more precious than a pearl, because you can buy a pearl with your money
but you cannot get back your lost time. Beware, don't waste a single second of
your life.Before youth turns to old age,
before disease overtakes health, before weakness overtakes strength, consider
life as a blessings before death. (make best use of life).(The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)).
Book "Majmua-e-Daram page 279)It is mentioned in the
traditions that people in paradise will repent for the seconds and minutes spent
without the remembrance of Allah. If they had spend those time in the
remembrance of Allah, then their position in paradise would have been more
exalted.Every good and evil person will
repent on the day of Judgement. Good people will say "How I wish I had done
more good deeds, so that my position would have been more exalted." Bad people
will say "How I had not done evil deeds so that I may have been saved from
Allah's curse."(Majmaul Bayan)The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had
advised Janabe Abuzer "Spent your life more miserly than Dirham
and Dinar."(Majmua-e-Daram II
pg.52)Spending your time wisely is the
best obedience. A farmer who wastes his time during farming season repents in
the end.(Nahjul Balagah)Son! For Allah's sake, make
best use your life. Don't spend it in such activities that will not benefit
you after death. Intelligent man is one who does tomorrow's work today.
Foolish person is one who first follows his heart's desires and then seeks
forgiveness.(Majmua-e-Daram,
Pg.16)One who spends his life in idle
talk is like one who throws his jewellery on the road and then sits digging
stone (for children to play). Obviously this is sheer foolishness.Son! Apple of my eye, value your
life, don't use it in any
activities except those which will prove useful to save you from the fire of
hell. Don't become a silk-worm who tried to kill itself.Having said this, develop the finest and best
character. The following are the details about "Character".
