An Excerpt From The Weekly Sermon Sermon of Peace and Spirituality
By Shahykh ul Wazaif Hazrat Hakeem Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chughtai (دامت بركاتهم)
Do Not Hate a Non-Muslim, Pray For Him to Return to a Righteous Path
Do Not Hate a Non-Muslim, Pray For Him to Return to a Righteous Path: I used to read a digest. In its every issue there would be a story that so and so Hindu did such and such thing, a Baniya did such and such thing, a Christian did such and such thing. A Jew did such and such thing. By reading such stories a hating mindset was developing. May Allah reward my murshid Hajveri (RA), I made bait with him in 1984. When I developed associations with him, my hatred finished. He said, do not hate them. They are all Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ), you should have an emotion of well-wishing for them. Since that day I scratched everything from within myself about Muslims or any sects of Muslims that he is a Barelvi, or a Deobandi, or ahl-e-Hadith, Wahaabi, he is Hayaati, or mamaati and so on. Oh No! We are only Muslims and thats it.
Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) is Generous, You Should Also Become Generous!
Our medal and identity is only to be a Muslim. And all coins of a bowl of a beggar belong to the beggar. We should have this emotion within ourselves. In our heart we should have this emotion. And when we have this emotion then we shall pray behind their backs as well. Or will you travel only with yourself? Would you become a miser or a generous person? Is there anyone more generous than Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ)? So a follower of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) shall also be generous! It is prayer to Allah Almighty that may he make all of you all a beggar of His own. And may there be an emotion of well-wishing for the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ). And due to you May Allah also make me a beggar and a seeker of His own doorsteps.
Owner of the Universe: My respected friends! Allah Almighty is completely alone in running the business of this world. He does not have a minister in this regard, nor any advisor who can run this system. Whatever is happening is due to His orders. His order influences the whole universe. And it will remain influential. Allah has always dominated and shall always dominate. Allah has always been powerful, He is powerful, and shall always remain powerful.
World According to Destiny: Allah Almighty has sent us to this world to develop some deeds. Acquiring wealth is not the job of a believer. The believer believes that wealth is a part of destiny. According to people of Allah, “The world is acquired according to destiny and the faith is acquired due to effort.” This world was not formed as such that the world was formed and we were formed, and when the world shall be distorted,we shall also be distorted.
Meaning of [اَلْھٰکُمُ التَّکَاثُرْ]: Allah Almighty has a system that Allah has made us for a purpose. Allah Almighty says that what do you think that I have made you without any purpose? Your life did not have any purpose? You were made [الھکم التکاثر]? [الھکم التکاثر] is that the children do not know what they are playing. They make houses and break them. They play for a while and start fighting within no time. Then they become friends after a short while as well. They do not know when it dawned and when the sun set. Neither do the children have any worry about food, or rights, or business, or duties, or of responsibilities. A thoughtless life, a lifestyle as desired, they come with their own mood, they sleep with their own whims, they walk with their own choice. This is known as [الھکم التکاثر]. My Allah says, “My slave! You are spending your life with own whims and desires, you do not even know for what purpose you came to this life?
A Desire for Deeds: In the system of life, Allah Almighty has bestowed the human being with some such things that by following these the human gets attentive towards Allah. Those things are deeds. Such as a glittering thing is given to a child to draw his attention and he leaves his sport and gets attentive towards that thing. Similarly, Allah Almighty gives deeds to a person to draw his attention towards Himself. He gives him the values of deeds and interest in them. Just as you will throw grass to a goat and she will come near. And if you show her a stick, she will run away. This is the temperament of an animal. Human is more dignified. When a human is shown any blessing or something, he will get attentive. And if a human is shown a problem, the human runs away. Allah Almighty has given deeds to draw attention of mankind towards himself. He has given the benefits and values of deeds. That if we do this deed, this benefit will follow. Allah Almighty has put a sense of acquiring benefits in the temperament of a human being. Wherever he shall find benefits, he shall be drawn to it. Allah has put the sense of acquiring benefits in the humans, And by giving deeds, Allah Almighty has provided the benefits of deeds. That if you perform deeds, you will acquire benefits of deeds. Perform the deed with the value of the deed, its wonders, and with the belief that you will acquire with the deed.
From Childhood to 55: From childhood to the age of 55, we heard about the values of the world and wealth. A child saw some money and he saw that he can get candies, ice cream or a sweet of a saline thing from that. The child gained experience about the values of wealth that If I have this much wealth, then I shall get everything. We did not teach the same kid about the virtues of deeds, that if he did those deeds, you will get the love of Allah and his kinship.
Proximity to Allah Almighty: Those people who wish to attain proximity to Allah Almighty, to be conscious about His presence, and to gain acquaintance with Him, they should do the deed with the value, its wonders and with the firm belief of acquiring with it. (Continued)
