What is very bad of us

We are no longer interested in Deen. We rather focus more on Dunya. That is why we give very little consideration to our Deen. The way we eat, drink, dress and our behaviour in general does not reflect anything that proves that we have Deen. We imitate others as if our Deen is nothing. We do not hesitate to lie, betray people and to act badly with the next person.

If we take stock of the aspect of Salah, the balance is zero. Till late at night, we are in front of that Dajjaal called television without having performed the Salah of Maghrib and Isha. And in the morning we are in a deep sleep. One could not wake up for the Salah of Fajr because one slept very late. The time of the Salah of Zuhr and A'sr are spent at work. A person without Salah is like a corpse without head. If physically a person cannot live without a head, spiritually speaking, he cannot stay alive without Salah. But this practice has lost its importance in our eyes to such an extent that we can chat on the road at the time of Salah without the slightest hesitation or shame.

What we should do

We must place our trust in Allah Ta’ala. We must hope to get all what we need from Him alone. And we must ask Allah Ta’ala alone. We must hold firm onto our Deen because our success in the Dunya and our well-being in the Aakhirah, are found only in following the Deen. A person, who believes that his success lies elsewhere, is really the biggest fool.

In order to hold firm onto our Deen, we must first be punctual on our five times Salah. We must always make maximum effort to accomplish our five times Salah on time with Jamat in the Masjid. This is a way to draw us close to our Rabb. It is a means to keep us clean both physically and spiritually.

Always try to be helpful to others. Live in peace and allow others to live in peace. The model that we must follow is the model of our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). Allah Ta’ala has sent our Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) as a Rahmah and a blessing for the entire humanity. We will take benefit from this Rahmah by following him and following the Deen according to his teachings.

We must always think that one day we will have to die and we will be buried underground. Then, we will have to answer on the day of Qiyamah for all that we did. Thus, we must prepare for this day and we must implore Allah Ta’ala to gratify us through his kindness and His favour.
