The actual work to do in the path of
Allah are four
I have already talked that during your stay in
the path of Allah in jamaat you have keep yourself busy in four works.
The first Priority work
1.
The
Dawah of Emaan Faith and the Aamaal related with it. For this Dawah you have
avenue like Umoomi Gusht (Meeting in locality door to door) Khussosi Gusht
(Going to meet a particular person in the locality). The manners and etiquettes
will be told at the time of Gusht. You should listen to them carefully. When
you will go out in market for giving Dawah, the shaytan will draw your
attention towards the materialism of market places. So before going out you
should pray to Allah to save yourself from the the Shar (ill effect) of your
Nafs and Shaytan. May Allah give us taufeeq to do the work of dawah according to
his pleasure? You should have full Faith on Allah, his greatness, his high and incomparable
qualities, his name and attributes. The
gaze should be lower down. Your objective of pleasing Allah should be always in
front of your eyes, like when a diseased person goes to hospital then the ill
person and his relatives’ donot involve in buildings, and decoration Rather
they only remain concerned about the treatment of the diseased.
In Khusoosi Gusht if
the person to whom you have gone to meet is not interested at that time, you
should wrap up the talk with intelligence and should arrange meeting at
different time. And we should do dua for him. If he is free and ready to listen
at that time, we should put complete Dawah and should also encourage him to
spare some time for the Path of Allah.
In this khusoosi gusht
if you are meeting an Aalim, religious scholar,
In Umoomi gusht it should be tried that people should gather in mosque
and then a talk is arranged on Emaan Faith, Salat, Zikr of Allah, Ilm e deen,
Akhlaq Islamic etiquettes, and deeni jad o jehad. There must be attempt to do
Tashkeel for making Jamaat to go in the path of Allah. Don’t limit upto doing
tashkeel rather those who have given their name for going in the path of Allah
make arrangement for their proper Jamaat. And to the best of your ability you
should ensure that their time in the path of Allah be utilized properly so that
they could get full befit.
Rest of the brothers who are not ready to go in the path of Allah at this
time should be encouraged for joining local gusht, local ijtema, Taleem at
Masjid and at home, zikr and to be punctual for Salat. Proper arrangement
should be made for all these.
Dua is the most important and soul of
all effort of Dawah
When in connection with dawat all the above effort is complete then like
a farmer who mix his seed in farm and then repose faith on Allah for crops, do
dua to Allah with full attention that only Allah has control over the heart.
Only Allah give taufeeq for Emaan and Aamal e saleha to whom he wants and does
not give who he rejects.
The second Priority work
After Dawah the second important work is Taleem o Taallum (Learning
seeking knowledge and Teaching through interdependent system). When you sit for
taleem sit with respect, and your heart should feel the greatness of knowledge
brought by prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam from Allah. There should
be muzakra of the Fazail and you should also remember Masnoon Dua. (Dua
reported by Prophet for different occasion)
The third Priority work
After Dawah and Taleem remaining time you should devout for Ibaadat,
Offer the Nawafil, Recite The Holy Quran or do zikr of Allah.
The fourth Priority work
The fourth work is Service of slaves of Allah. (Service of creations of
Allah will bring you closer to Allah)
One example
As during offering Salah a person alwys remain attentive and engaged
either in Ruku Sajda or Qayam similarly a person in the path of Allah should
remain attentive either to dawat, Taleem o Taallum, or zikr o ibaadat and
service of creation of Allah.
So these four work will be done as main work during stay of the jamaat in
the path of Allah so much so that these work should become an all time routine
and become Mizaj.
These work will be done Ijtemai (collectively) and Infaradi
(individually) both.
The Ijtemai means those programme that are done under a Nizam like
§ Dawat in Umoomi gusht and Khususi
Gusht,
§ Taleem in the time prescribed,
§ offering Farz prayer with Jamaat
(Takbeer e oola) Sunnah praryer before and after the Farz Prayer (as
applicable),
§ Collective arrangement of stay and
food etc.
Infaradee
Aamal (Individual Aamal)
This will
include Individual Dawah, Individual Taleem (seeking knowledge/learning),
Individual Ibaadat, Individual Service. These individual work will be done in
those hours where no Ijtamaee work is there. For example After lunch there is
no collective Aamaal so this is a very good time for going to someone for
Dawah, teaching learning of Dua, correction of Salat (Khushu Khuzu and Masael),
offering Nafil Salat, or doing khidmat to anyone, these all will be counted in
Infaradi Aamaal.
So these four work
will be done as main objective work and we should devout in these work on full
scale. Then these will bring Noor in their life and it will also spread to
others.
Four Unavoidable Work (Basic necessities)
There are four
unavoidable work. We have to engage in it but should not attend more than the
requirement. These are
1.
Eating
and drinking
2.
Sleeping
3.
Taking
bath and nature calls
4.
Necessary
talk with each other.
These are unavoidable necessities. We
should give them as much time as required. Time should not be wasted other than
requirement. For e.g normally six hour sleep is enough for a person.
Four thing to be abstained Fully.
Four things to abstain are
1.
Don’t
do Sawal (asking something from anybody other than Allah like food, money etc),
Rather you should not present your need to any human being in a way that he
should give something. This is also a kind of Sawal. (Rather Jamaat will
prepare its own food etc will not ask anything from local. Although if someone
from local want to invite for food then it is different thing.)
2.
To
save yourself from Ishraf (Ishraf can be defined as not telling something from
tongue but in heart it is coming that locals should give us food etc, or any
similar things.) It is sawal of heart in place of sawal of tongue.
3.
To
save yourself from Israf and Fazool Kharchi [Spending money etc as immoderate
(Lavis/wasteful/extravagant/unnecessary expenditure)]. This is an unwanted act
all the time even being at home but in the path of Allah it affects other
members of Jamaat also.
4.
You
should not use anything without the prior permission of its owner.(even
belongings of your fellow of jamaat). Sometimes it troubles the owner and
islamically it is Haram. Although there is no harm in using it after taking
permission from the owner.
These all were some important things
necessary to practice and abide yourself in the path of Allah. Your day and
night should be spent on these line.
You will travel and move on the earth
of Allah with these Aamaal and will do effort on Allah creations and seek guidance
from Allah for yourself, for ummat e Muslima, and for whole humanity. These all
are your Amaal and your Wazeefa.
If you will do all this Allah who is
Aarhamur Rahemeen will not keep you Mahroom (Unattended without acceptance).
JAZAKALLAH
