To Be Good in front of the God

One asked: which charity is good one? Replied: the charity when you are energetic and miser, when you fear the poverty, when you long for richness, do not postpone till you reach the last breath.

When one sought his company in paradise, he enquired, anything else? repeated the same: itself, he wanted: please help me with increasing number of prostrations.

Ones he told: increase your prostrations, it will raise you one grade, and erase one fault.

The above verses show that there is no place for sloth in the path of a believer. Enduring passion to achieve abstract goals of life should lead one to outdoing the virtues at the earliest regardless of torrents of worldly wishes.  The complete renunciation of worldly joys is not the aim of Islamic life. But to plunge in the worldly life forgetting his aims is not admirable. Everybody will commit sin and the God will forgive all such evils. When committing sins become a habit one does not think repenting or the aura of joy of the worldly pleasures will not help him ward off sins from his life until he breathes the last.

As there are worldly pleasures in different grades, and there is ladder of social status in which the people are categorized according to their incumbent duties in the hereafter world also people will have their own status as per their achievements in this life. The prostration in front of God is one type of worship which will please God and help to raise the grade of a believer. When one increases prostration and repentance it helps raise his grades. There is no oblique strategy to be good in front of the God.   

Work for Common good: Live a Virtuous Life

“Any Muslim plant a plant, no one eat from it without a charity (its reward), no one  steal from it without a charity(its reward) and no one decrease from it without a charity(its reward).”

“Do not ignore anything that is good even to meet your brother with a pleasant face.”

The above verses are very significant regarding the importance of plantation and nurturing of nature for the sake of common good. This especially exhorts every believer to plant trees which produce fruits. Trends of modernity and unfettered capitalism make people very selfish and arrogant. Consumerism does not encourage the habit of plantation and agriculture. People used to buy fruits and vegetables from shops rather than cultivating it in their own lands.

Celebrating a day of planting fruit plants in every year will raise the passion of every believer and help the prosperity and self-sufficiency of our nation. The selfishness of people is leading them into an amphibious status. Awakening people with this verse will woo them to the status of noble status of honored creature rather than a mere homo sapiens status.

As far as a believer is concerned every simple virtue is important. He should not ignore even a simple aspect of life. Whole of his time and activity is concerned with virtue. Thus he should be bothered even about his attitudes towards other people; he should meet his brother with a pleasant face. Selfishness and efforts to exploit others and accomplish his own urges in tortuous way is not the way of a believer.

Do good for the sake of Humanity, live in a virtuous way. 

Thought of the Day

“A powerful believer is nearer to God than one who is weak. Everyone has good fortune and should seek his fortune. Do not complain about his weaknesses but should seek help of God and understand that it is the God who control things and He does what He wants to do. Never say ‘If I were’ because if open door for Satan.”

The above paragraph is inclusive of following ideas:

1.       One should try to improve his health

2.       One should not complain about the present conditions

3.       One should not accuse the natural forces or any other factors in any failure

4.       Everything will have some good sides and should be pleasant thinking about that side

5.       One believer is always proactive and with a superiority complex or he rejects the inferiority complex.

A day in believer’s life

Life is the mixture of joy and sorrow, hardships and comforts, likenesses and contempt or derision. One cannot be happy throughout his life. When God’s grace is upon us we will be happy and we enjoy with our family and friends. When we become sad we withdraw to an alien life, away from friends expressing our anger to everything around us.

But the case of a believer is different. His attitude to different situations of life is sublime and admirable.

The true belief is the powerhouse of a believer. In aura of divine grace he try to shower the gratitude to his Lord. In the aura of difficulties he resort to the patience for the cause of God, the benevolent and merciful. The derision and disgraceful actions from the cruel living beings will not cause precipitous fall in his happy mood. The torrent of ill dealings  will not make him depressed. Sloth and idleness will not come to the aura of divinity of his life.  He will not resort to any oblique strategies to retaliate such people. Since he seek the sublime love of his creature who had created all living beings and is able to change their minds.

Thus the case of a believer is of great wonder.

Truth leads to Paradise

Life is something which is not controlled completely by self. We act as our circumstances need. We may tell truth or lie as per need. We express our anger, greed, sloth etc. many times. These do not irritate us. Because our concern more about managing our aims than to comply with moral assumptions. This dangerous attitude should be bemoaned in religious context. We should act daftly to change our ingrained notions by our Global inclinations which exhort us to take torrents of sins easy and go for personal gains.

Prophet (pbuh) Said: “ the truth leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to paradise. Verily one person say truth till he is written among Honests near God, and the lie leads to lewdness/immorality and lewdness/immorality leads to hell, verily one person lie till he is written among liars near God.
