Civil Station masjid-May 16th, 2008

Dear All,

Last week's Qutuba in civil station masjid focused on the following points
1.Naseehath(well wishing): a good quality muslim must practice.
2.Satisfaction after a good deed leads to loss of spirit and end of all further good deeds.It leads to an idle and inactive muslim
3.Lack of awareness leads to loss of fear in Allah(SWT).

1.Naseehath(Well-wishing)

Rasool(SAW) is a clear wellwisher for the mankind(Naasihul ameen/mubeen).
Well-wishing is the underline quality behind all the deeds of Rasool (SAW).
Holy Quran through Surah Asr declares "WaThawaasou bil haqi wathawasou biswabr"(advicing the justice and the patience) clearly points to keep a well-wishing mind.
Rasool(SAW) never desperated due to the poverty faced,due to the torturing of his natives,etc.But he desperated only due to the attitude of people towards the truth and Islamic ideology.This clearly depicts the well-wishing mentality of the prophet.
Rasool (SAW) 's very silly mis-behvaiour to Ummi makthoom(RA) was seriously criticised by Allah(SWT) through surah Abasa in Holy Quran.
Organisational or sectorial inclination must not block us from being a well-wisher.

2.Satisfaction makes muslim an idle one
Bare Satisfaction is the killer of all the spirit and good deeds.
A muslim must try to correct himself everytime and to work untill he is assured of the heaven.and he must not stay after getting just satisfaction through the deeds he has done already.
Rasool (SAW) once said:"I will be restless untill the heaven is assured to me".

3.Lack of awareness leading to loss of fear in Allah(SWT)

A common farmer living around us with low earning and lifestyle will be quite satisfied.This is due to lack of awareness of his capabilities and higher options.But a muslim must be aware of his spiritual capabilities and must work hard in the path of truth.
Knowledge is the underline factor of fear in God.
Allahu(SWT) declaring through Holy Quran that "Only my slaves with knowledge can be afraid of me".

NB:-Quranic translations are not exact.But tried to keep basic theme of the lines.
