Amid the intense severity of the Day of Judgment when people, though conscious, will appear unconscious, but those who in their lives adopted the following of Prophethood (PBUH) and moulded themselves into the excitement example (Uswa-e-Hasana), such people will be enveloped by the Divine Mercy of Allah SWT and overwhelming dread of that Day will not sadden them. The noble Companions (RA) practically proved and demonstrated this claim of love. This earth and heaven bear witnesses that despite not having apparent material means, they placed their absolute trust in Allah SWT, accomplished that work which apparently seems impossible.
Ameer Abdul Qadeer Awan, Sheikh Silsila Naqshbandia Owaisiah, address on the blessed Friday in San Francisco, AML Masjid.
He said that both this world also belongs to Allah SWT and the Hereafter also. While one should certainly acquire worldly knowledge to navigate the means of life, it is incorrect to regard this world as ultimate end- as if it were everything , rather this world is a place of trial and turmoil. While living in this same world, one should strive to benefit the creation of Allah SWT so that perpetual charity may be attained by the relation of faith. While living in this same world, keep your gaze on the Hereafter.
He further said that for attainment of nearness of Allah SWT, verbal affirmation and righteous deeds, these are the foundation. The honour of acceptance of prayer should manifest in the form of restraint from obscenity and evil. Do we attain this state after performing prayer? If this state is not being attained then in this we must scrutinize every aspect of our worship to identify that where the flaw exists. Was my intention sincere, was my attire pure? See each and every pillar (part) where fault is coming from? The Holy Quran is the Word of the Almighty Allah, am I blessed with the privileged good fortune to recite it? The advent of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is mercy for all creation, am I familiar with His blessed Seerah? Do I know how my beloved Prophet (PBUH) spent the blessed life? How did He SAW train His companions RA? How did He (PBUH) converse with family members? How did He (PBUH) spend days and nights of life? Is the longing of my love taking me to this acquaintance? Have I made aware of pure Seerah that offspring for whose upbringing I am giving my self, for fulfilling whose needs I am staying hungry? Have I told him about sin and reward. May Allah SWT the generous have mercy on our state of. There is need to see ourselves.
In the end he also offered collective prayer for country’s security and survival.
