When a community/nation involves itself in disobedience of Allah Most High, the propensity of sins is developed leading to various sins.  It falls into disbelief and polytheism.  Fortitude is no longer a part of their natures.  Roguishness is developed.  They become avaricious for this world and disregard religion entirely.  Thus, eventually such a community becomes the receptacle of all evils and blameworthy qualities.  The only treatment of this disease is piety.  As piety develops, rebelliousness and disobedience will decrease.  Therefore, obey the commands of Allah Most High.  The fire of hereafter will not have any effect on His obedient ones.

 

 

 

If you don’t obey Allah and insist on disobedience, then the outcome of it will be on you alone.  How does it harm Allah Most High?  You will harm yourselves.

 

 

 

Those who disobey Allah are for now deriving pleasure, but hearken!  After death all this disobedience will punish you in the form of snakes, scorpions and fire.  In this world as well, it will afflict in the form of various diseases and mutual hypocrisy.

 

 

 

Remember!  The condition of Muslims can’t improve only by unity.  It is necessary to follow all the rules of Islam.  The thing is that how much ever a stranger goes against us, we don’t get as angry as we would when an intimate one goes against us.  Muslims are the intimate slaves of Allah Most High.  That’s why even their slightest disobedience infuriates Him.  Thus, if we desire our welfare, we should desist from disobeying Him and should please Allah Most High with our devotion and obedience.

 

 

 

On the outside, we appear as the obedient ones of Allah Most High as Muslims, but on the inside, we are disobedient.  Thus repent before the wrath of Allah catches up with us.

 

 

 

Anecdote: Once Hadhrat Abdul Khaliq Ghujdvani (May Allah shower His mercy upon him) was delivering a sermon.  During that a person in the guise of Sufis, wearing a cloak with a prayer mat on his shoulder entered and sat in a corner.  After some time he asked: Hadhrat!  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: Protect oneself from the foresight of a believer, as he (or she) sees through the radiance of Allah Most High.  What is the meaning of this Hadith?  Hadhrat Abdul Khaliq retorted: It means that you should embrace Islam by breaking your sacred thread (worn by non-Muslims).  He replied: I seek refuge in Allah!  Have I worn it?  Hadhrat Abdul Khaliq (May Allah shower His mercy on him) ordered his servant to remove that person’s clothes.  As soon as the clothes were removed, a sacred thread was seen.  That person snapped his sacred thread and embraced Islam.  Hadhrat Abdul Khaliq (May Allah shower His mercy on him) said:  O people!  Come!  Let us give company to this young man.  He has repented by breaking the visible sacred thread.  We, in spite of being Muslims, have tied threads of sin.  Let us break them.  There was a furor in the crowd and everyone repented of their misdeeds and fell at the feet of Hadhrat Abdul Khaliq (May Allah shower His mercy upon him).

 

 

 

Hadhrat Aslam (May Allah be well pleased with him) says: One night I was with Hadhrat ‘Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) and he was patrolling the city.  All of a sudden, a woman’s voice reached his ear, who was telling her daughter to mix some water in the milk.  The girl said: O mother!  Didn't you hear that Hadhrat ‘Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) has ordered that no water should be added to the milk?  The mother said: I did hear it, but he isn’t seeing us now.  The girl replied: Is it appropriate for us to ostensibly acquiesce to his command and disobey him on the sly?  On hearing this, Hadhrat ‘Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) left at that moment, but the next morning he called his three sons Hadhrat Abdullah, Hadhrat A’asim and Hadhrat ‘Ubaidullah (May Allah be well pleased with them) and said: If your father had been fit enough for marriage, nobody else would have proceeded towards that girl.  Hearing his honorable father, Hadhrat A’asim (May Allah be well pleased with him) went to the house of that girl and married her.  He got a pious girl from her who became the mother of Hadhrat ‘Umar bin Abdul Azeez (May Allah shower His mercy upon him).

 

 

 

The person who doesn’t follow the commands of Allah and insists on opposing the Prophets, after death, that person’s soul is also taken to the heavens.  Whichever group of angels they pass by, the angels ask:  Which wretch’s souls is this?  The angels accompanying that soul tell that person’s name along with his lineage.  On reaching the sky, they try to get the door opened, but no door is opened for that person and it is ordered that the soul should be flung back to the earth.  Accordingly, that soul is thrown back on earth.  That soul remains confined in Sijjeen (the lowest regions) and also has a connection with the grave.
