It is a great blessing from Allah SWT to be connected with the Ummah of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Ameer Abdul Qadeer Awan
To be a servant at the door of the Holy Mustafa ﷺ is an introduction sufficient for both worlds. The Holy Prophet ﷺ is Rahmat-ul-Alameen (Mercy for all the worlds). The rank of Prophethood encompasses all virtues. Those who are granted closeness to the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, receive such illumination—what kind of people are they? They are firm against disbelievers and gentle among themselves, spreading love. Even a non-Muslim who adopts the principles and codes taught by the Holy Prophet ﷺ progresses in this world; and when it comes to being a Muslim, whether in worship or in daily dealings, at every moment we need to shape our lives according to the teachings of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Allah Almighty is not in need of our prostrations; rather, His Being is worthy of being prostrated to. It is an honour for us to bow our heads in His presence. Those who do not offer prayer should reflect that Allah Almighty is displeased with them, as they are not being granted the ability to prostrate.
Ameer Abdul Qadeer Awan, Sheikh Silsila Naqshbandia Owaisiah and Patron of Tanzeem-ul-Ikhwan Pakistan, addressed the gathering on the assemblage of Basat e Ramat e Aalam at Dar-us-Salaam Society, Korangi, Karachi.
He said that nations become strong when every individual thinks, “What is my responsibility?” When our thinking is limited to “What will I get?”, such nations and organizations cannot become strong. Whatever abilities we possess should be used for our country and nation; even speaking a positive word becomes a form of contribution. What is needed is the spirit of asking, “What can I give?” When nations develop a spirit of self-sacrifice and follow Allah and His Messenger SAW , they become strong. It is Allah’s favour that He SWT granted the Awan community both a lineage-based relationship and a bond of faith. Look at the sacrifices of the family of the Messenger ﷺ has anyone ever heard a complaint about those sacrifices? What we need is not arrogance, but selflessness.
He further said that from the court of Holy Mustafa ﷺ we receive such training that even if one’s breath is about to end, one should first offer a sip of water to one’s brother. We must search for this spirit among ourselves. Our ancestors made sacrifices; we too need to unite for this country. Adopt goodness so that its fragrance emerges from our character. Let us not limit goodness to words alone; bring it into our character and actions. We must examine whether our politics is for the country or driven by personal desires. These parties are run by us, these institutions are ours; when the bodies of martyrs return, it is our own children who are making the sacrifice. We are all like one family—do not create divisions due to personal interests.
May Allah Almighty grant us true awareness.
