Alhamdulillah, Thumma(once again) Alhamdulillah, with the Fadhl (Grace) and Ihsaan (Favour) of Allah Ta’ala, so many are ‘quitting’ their addictions to sins, and they claim that it is hard
to believe that they are able to do so.
After the talk on the 27th night of Ramadaan, a young girl
wrote anonymously, informing me(Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb) that she is a 14 year old
who had an entire album filled with photographs and pictures of film actors and actresses. … She was an addict of the cinema and television. She wrote : “After your talk on the 27th
night, I burnt the album and I gave up my addiction to movies
and other sins.”
Many have indicated that they have given up womanizing, adultery, gambling, porn movies and literature, drugs, etc. May Allah Ta’ala accept these changes. Sincere repentance
and the giving up of sins have brought so much of peace and
happiness in their lives.
In fact, some couples, whose marriages were ‘on the rocks’and about to end, affirmed that sincere Taubah from sins brought about dramatic and unbelievable changes; so much so that their marriages were ‘salvaged’.
May Allah Ta’ala protect us from pride, vanity and boasting. This is only being mentioned to motivate and encourage. …No one should become despondent or lose hope; no matter how far one may have strayed from obedience of Allah Ta’ala.
Hazrat Ya'qub عليه السلام had presented beautiful words of
reassurance to his sons; words which offer so much by way of hope, encouragement and support to us as well.
“…AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE OF ALLAH’S SOOTHING MERCY : TRULY
NO ONE DESPAIRS OF ALLAH’S SOOTHING MERCY, EXCEPT THOSE WHO
HAVE NO FAITH. ”
[SURAH YUSUF 12 : 87]
A true Believer in Allah Ta’ala will never despair of the Mercy of Allah Ta’ala.
Then again, it must not be such, as so many of us are want to do – superficially perform Salaah, engage ourselves in some Zikr and Tilawah (recitation) of the Qur'aan Shareef, or some other form of Ibaadah (worship), or render a little service to Deen and thereafter we consider ourselves having reached Jannah (paradise)!
Until we do not direct all our energies and until we do not exert ourselves, even if it is to the extremes, in giving up our sins, we will not develop the Noor of Taqwa in our hearts. And if we are engaged in Ibaadah, and continue indulging in sins, then we will not be able to retain that Noor which accompanies Zikr, Salaah, Tilawah, Hajj and ‘Umrah, Fasting,
etc. We will remain at square one.
Moreover, our companionship will not benefit anyone because our hearts are always depleted of Noor and as a result, we are unable to pass on anything therefrom.
