Excerpt from the Weekly Sermon
A Sermon of Peace and Spirituality
Sheikhul-Wazaaif, Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mehmood Majzoobi Chughtai
Who Are Ahl-e-Bait? All of the relatives of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) did not accept Islam. All the Banu Hashim and the Quresh did not accept Islam. We did not call them [رضوان اللہ تعالی علیہم اجمعین]. Rather we call only those people ahl-e-bait who were from the family of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ). Among the Ahl-e-Bait are the family of Hazrat Ali (رضی اللہ عنہ) and the family of bibi Fatima (رضی اللہ عنھا). All of these are called ahl-e-bait because they negated their own knowledge and acknowledged the divine knowledge.
Allah Almighty had bestowed Hazrat Ali (رضی اللہ عنہ) with a lot of wisdom. Hazrat Ali (رضی اللہ عنہ) was among the most wise persons of this world after Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ). He (رضی اللہ عنہ) had a high rank because of knowledge and wisdom as well. Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) had other uncles apart from Abu Talib. And they had offspring too! Abu Lahab had two sons who had divorced the daughters of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ). It is written in a book that Hazrat Ali (رضی اللہ عنہ) is the most fortunate person of this world who believed in Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) and today due to him the whole world is naming their sons after him. Hazrat Ali (رضی اللہ عنہ) negated his own knowledge and acknowledged the knowledge of Allah.
Negate Your Knowledge: My respected friends! In your minds, in your wisdom, in your brains, and in the thoughts of your hearts, decide one things that we have to move by accepting the knowledge of Allah. We have to move by looking at the love of Allah. Our knowledge is a negation. The knowledge of Allah is complete. And the benefit that we are seeing in our knowledge is not a benefit but it is an illusion. If my Allah calls something prohibited, then it is prohibited. Please remember! Haraam can never nourish generations. Haraam shall never give you peace. Haraam never gives you peace. I am saying this again and again two things that you have to give your wisdom and your heart to Allah.
True Success: People of Allah! Sometimes in our hearts this thought comes that may our business become wide spread. My friends, there is no harm in expanding the business. But before that look at this that the means that I have for my sustenance, and the business that I am doing, what are the allowed (halal) means in it. What are the halal means in it, and what are the haram means in it. I shall not say to you to not get a nice house and a nice car. If Allah Almighty has given you clean and pure sustenance then you should definitely get such things. If there is the knowledge of Allah in your wisdom and love of Allah in your heart and if there are thoughts of love of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) in your wisdom and if there is love of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) in your heart, then before expanding their business this man will think that what are the halal means in it and what are the haram means. He shall not look at the green grass of someone else. Rather he shall be content with his own dry grass.
History has revealed that the people who were martyred in Karbala, Allah Almighty kept them evergreen. Apparently they lost, their homes were looted, their caravans finished, their children were slaughtered, their fasts could not be broken, and they had to starve. That caravan started off from Medina. But apart from a few people that could not go back to Medina. Apparently they failed, but for Allah and to save the commandments of Allah and the love of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ), Hussain (رضی اللہ عنہ) who lost everything is being called a victor by the whole world. The world is not calling Yazid a victor. The reason for this is that Yazid had the throne, wealth, authority, government, but he did not have Allah and His Prophet (ﷺ).
Make your wisdom, your thoughts, and your knowledge subservient to Allah. Make your heart, your emotions, your desires and your longings subservient to Allah and His Prophet (ﷺ). My thought is not a thought. It is possible that the thoughts that arise in my heart are very nice apparently. But in these thoughts if there is Allah Almighty, then I am a successful person. And if in these thoughts there is no Allah, then I am an unsuccessful person. The desires that raise in my heart, and if in these desires there is Allah then I am a successful person, and if there is not Allah in them then I am an unsuccessful person.
Give Your Heart and Mind to Allah: People of Allah! Heart and the brain are two precious parts of the body. By giving them to Allah Almighty, Allah gives the pleasure of heaven in this world. You will start getting the blessings of Allah without seeking them. Love of Allah, blessings, mercy and affluence shall follow. Devote your heart and mind to Allah and see! Take two utensils and give them to Allah: O Allah, you gave these two utensils that are very precious. It is written in the books, the clay with which Allah Almighty made the body of Adam (علیہ السلام) with the same saved clay Allah made dates, due to this the human has a special affinity with the dates from the beginning for eternity.
