Dear Brothers and Sisters : Once again, take note of the difference between the Sahaba-e-Kiraam رضي الله عنهما and us. There is no similarity, no resemblance.
Our thinking pattern is clear indifference, laxity and negligence. We don’t really care. …And this is our downfall. This is our failure. This is what has led to our downfall and failure on a global level.
Returning to the story: Fear overwhelmed Hazrat Th’alaba (رضي الله عنه ). The accountability of the Hereafter haunted him. He feared Allah Ta’ala would disclose to
Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم what had transpired and his ‘hypocrisy’ would become known.
Overcome by guilt, he felt ashamed to present himself before Rasulullah (صلئ الله عليه وسلم ). Distressed and unsettled, he could not find the courage to show his face to Rasulullah (صلئ الله عليه وسلم). So he ran away.
This was just one occasion where he erred. Yet, this ‘slip’ had such a profound effect on the heart and mind of Hazrat Th’alaba that in a condition of deep and overwhelming shame, remorse and guilt, he left beloved Madina Shareef.
سبحان الله
Reflect over the tremendous shame. Then consider the present day Muslim. How so many of us brag, advertise and highlight visits to
Haraam venues – cinemas,premiers,
clubs, raves – with photographs taken and published in magazines and newspapers.
