-- Verily, you have in the Prophet of Allah an excellent model, for him who fears Allah and the Last Day and who remembers Allah much. (ch 33, v 22)
--
After reciting Surah Al-Fatiha and above verse, Hazrat Head of Ahmadiyya-Muslim Community said that there are reservations in the non-Muslim world (western world developed world) about Muslims; these are more due to their lack of knowledge about Islamic teaching. Moreover, some Muslims’ extremist acts done in the name of Islam, terrorism and taking law in own hand has put more in their minds that Islam is indeed a religion of terrorism.
--
Today, Allah the Exalted has given the service of conveying the right teaching of Islam to the world, and to remove wrong impressions to Community of the true servant (Promised Messiah Mahdi) of Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). Thus each Ahmadiyya-Muslim should do the maximum effort for this.
--
People of the world think, what press and media is saying, is 100% right. Most of the population in the world has no interest in religion anyway.
--
In these conditions, to tell the world about the beautiful teaching of Islam with the continuous hard word is a great challenge.
--
A common non-muslim thinks that such extremist deeds of some Muslims are due to their teachings. And deeds of Muslims are due to deeds of the founder of Islam Hazrat Muhammad messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). (nauzobillah).
--
To remove this wrong impression and to inform the world about the beautiful teaching of Islam, each Ahmadi-Muslim must play his or her role. They should tell the world by words and deeds what is real teaching of Islam, and what is the act of Holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be on him).
--
Allah the Exalted made human so that they fulfill the rights of worship of Allah and the rights of people. Those who pay rights of Allah pay rights of people as well. Allah presented before us, his ummat, model of our beloved, obey-able, perfect human, Muhammad PBUH and told us this perfect model is your guide. Adopt it and make effort to practice each aspect of it. Tell the world it is real Islam, not the one which is presented by a few terrorists and which Western media present in excess.
Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) has shown to us beautiful examples by his model. Some aspects are being presented here so that we gauge ourselves by these, and we practice his advice and model about high morals from Islamic teaching, in our practical lives. When we shall mold our lives according to it, only then we can tell the world what is Islam. The thing which is needed for the survival of the world, it is real Islamic teaching.
--
Allah the Exalted has declared the real purpose of human life is worship. Our leader and guide PBUH has not merely told this fact to us but he showed to us high qualities of sincere worship which Allah certified for acceptance. As Allah says, ‘allazi yaraka hena taqoom wa taqalobaka fissajedeen’ i.e. He sees when you stand and your restlessness among sajda-doers.-- Allah mentioned with love how he PBUH prayed. His restlessness and prayers were for his ummat, humanity, and for those who are away from Allah and do not realize their purpose of life. These distances can cause Allah’s displeasure. By seeing his restlessness Allah said ‘la-allaka bakheun nafsaka alla yakunoo momeneen’ i.e. will you destroy your life, why do they not believe. – Your heart is restless why do disbelieves not believe and correct worldly life and hereafter.
--
It shows the quality of his worship and pure condition and pain of his heart which was for the safety of humanity from destruction.
--
So can a person does oppression, who feels such care for humanity? Surely not. He PBUH spent each moment of life for worshipping Allah and serving His creatures.
Sometimes Sahabah ra, would observe condition worship by Holy Prophet PBUH. One Sahabi ra, said: I saw Messenger of Allah offering Salaat. Sounds like stone-mill were coming from his chest due to the severity of crying.
--
What were these prayers? These prayers were to remain in the refuge of Allah. These prayers were for ummat and for saving humanity from destruction.
--
These were prayers of Holy Prophet PBUH which brought revolution back then, and spiritual-dead-since-centuries became alive and turned into real worshipers of Allah the Exalted. These are his PBUH prayers which were accepted and Allah the Exalted sentArdent Devotee of holy Prophet PBUH in this deformed era in this deformed era, for the revival of Islam.
--
Thus today it is the responsibility of we Ahmadis, that we should increase qualities of our worships. Following his PBUH model, do such prostration before Allah which are not for our private purposes, but these should be for establishment of rule of Allah the Exalted in world, these prostrations should be for raising flag of Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in world, and to make ourselves real servant of Allah the Exalted, these should for bringing humanity closer to their Maker, for saving world from destruction.
--
How much Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was concerned to offer obligatory Salaat in the congregation and sometimes he worked hard for it. This event gives an idea.
--
When in the evening of Uhad battle, iron pieces of the helmet had pierced in his PBUH right cheek, lot of his blood had been lost, he was weak with injuries, the hurt-feeling of seventy martyrs-Sahabah was more nerve breaking. On that day also, on the call of Azan, he PBUH came to offer Salaat just as he would come in common days.
His PBUH such model created high standards of worships in Sahabah ra. Today each of us should check ourselves -- as we claim that now revival of Islam will be by Jama'at of Promised Messiah (a.s.) and we have to make re-alive real teaching of Islam -- do qualities of our worships and Salaat-in-congregation are near that standard? Some people make an excuse due to little trouble and do not come to the mosque. Due to some sneezes in the morning, they say today health is not good, offer Salaat in house. Laziness can be removed by effort. We should do an effort to increase the standard of our worships.
--
These are the duas / prayers which will become means of spiritual revolution in this era. Our Conveying-the-Message is result-less without duas. Our intellectual efforts are resultless without dua.
--
So if we have to teach real Islam to the world, first of all we have to make effort to develop such kind of connection with Allah, which was made by Sahabah by following model of Holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be on him). Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) explained it as: It is simple thing the Holy Quran has mentioned their previous condition as ‘yakoloona kama takoloonal an-aam’ (they eat as animals eat). It was their condition in disbelief. Then pure supports of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) made changes in them and their condition became ‘yobeetoona lerabbehim sujjadan wa qaiyamaa’ (they spent nights for their Lord, in doing prostration and standing).
This is the state which we should try to make in us, not that we become lazy in waking for Fajr Salaat.
Hazrat Ali (r.a.) said that, last advice and last message of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) when he was in last agonal respiration, that take care of Salaat and rights of slave.
--
It is his PBUH condition about paying right of worship of Allah the Exalted and right of the creature. It is such last advice which a believer should always keep in before them. And it is our purpose of believing Hazrat promised Messiah (a.s.), which we should always keep before us, not that we forget the purpose of life due to sluggishness and earthly indulgences.
--
For tawakkul (trust, reliance) on Allah the Exalted, model of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) is very great. Allah the Exalted said, ‘wa takkal alallah wa kafaa billahe wakilaa’ (trust in Allah and indeed Allah is enough as Guardian). Such models are seen in his PBUH life at each moment. Even, in time of illness of death, he was concerned, may it does not happen that he go before Allah the Exalted in the state, in which iota of doubt of not trusting in Allah may be present. Hazrat Aisha (r.a.) said he PBUH gave her seven or eight dinars for keeping. In last illness, he asked, Aisha what happened to gold which I asked you to keep. She said she has it. He PBUH said, make it charity. She became busy in some work. When he PBUH regained consciousness he asked, has it been given in charity? She said, not yet. He said, go and bring it to me. He counted them by placing them on hand. He said, what tawakkul Muhammad has for his Lord if at meeting with Allah and leaving world, he has these dinars. Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) gave those dinars in sadaqah / charity.
--
He PBUH, advised common believers, he is prophet and beloved of Allah, and Allah has special treatment for him. You should have tawakkul in Allah and if they have any property or money, they should leave it for children to save them from poverty and turbulence. Permission of more than one-third of wasiat (Will) is not allowed. Holy Quran has mention inheritance in detail. Holy Propet PBUH said, in valley of heart of son of Adam, there is one low. The person whose heart keeps following these lows, Allah does not care for him, which low will cause his death. The person who trusts in Allah, Allah save him from all these lows.
--
Islam allows worldly works but stops for only making properties day and night and remain in the sorrow of worldly life. And draw to pay attention to His worship and trust on Him. When it happens, Allah saves him from worldly problems.
Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) advised ummat, if you do tawakkul in Allah, as there is right of tawakkul in Allah is, He will surely give you provision as He gives to bird which leaves the empty stomach in the morning, and come back with a full stomach in the evening.
--
This thing should always draw our attention, that provision comes from Allah the Exalted indeed. And we should not sacrifice our worships for getting it. Work should be done but real trust should be in Allah, worships should not be sacrificed for work.
Regarding tawakkul of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) said that, this thing is clear and highlighted and bright from seeing event of Hazrat Khatamul Anbiyya PBUH, Holy Prophet PBUH was one-colored of high quality, clear from inside, brave for God, and was free from hope from creature, and only trusted in God only. By losing in desire and pleasure of God, he did not care what difficulties he will face by announcing Oneness of God, and what sorrows will be suffered from the hand of associates-makers-with-God. But faced all hardships and difficulties, and followed the command of his Master and fulfilled all conditions of struggle, lecture, and advice. And did not give any importance to any fear-maker. We truly say, in events of all prophets, in such positions and dangers, with so many opponents, not a single one is found who stopped against shirk and worship of creature with steadfastness, by trusting Allah.
--
One attribute of high morals is thankfulness. What was the model of our Master and Guide for it. He PBUH always looked for how to be most thankful servant of Allah the Exalted. Hadith tells, he would pray for this purpose: O my Allah, make me thankful to You and a doer of lot of remembrance of You.
--
Another Hadith say, O Allah make me such I become most thankful to You and follow Your exhortation, and remember Your command.
