Book Name:Hazrat Usman-e-Ghani

One does not get the time!

Dear Islamic sisters! Ponder! Who performed worship to this extent? It was Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ! The one whose eminence is such that he attained the honour of becoming the husband of two of the blessed daughters of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم one after the other, the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave him the good news of Paradise many a time from his own blessed tongue, the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the infallible angels would even have haya (modesty) from him, and the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم took the pledge of Ridwan for his sake. In short, despite attaining such a high status, he would worship and recite the Holy Qur’an, and he would remain striving to perform as many good deeds as possible. Whereas on the other side, our state is that most of our time is wasted in useless activities, our days and nights are falling prey to heedlessness, we do not have time to seek knowledge of the religion, nor do we have the opportunity to come to know of information regarding necessary acts of worship, nor do we manage to take out time to for the recitation of the Holy Qur’an, nor do we have the fortune at all of calling towards righteousness or listening to it. Some Islamic sisters even remain deprived of the honour of carrying out and listening to Dars and speeches. They are not even able to perform self-accountability of their deeds and contemplate and ponder over them. Also they do not attend the weekly Ijtima [congregations], and remain deprived from the weekly Madani Muzakarahs. Sadly, there are some who, مَعَاذَاللّٰہ (Allah Almighty forbid), also actually cause their Fard Salah to become Qada, there are some who are unable to even seek Fard ‘Uloom [religiously obligatory knowledge], there are some who are not even aware of essential matters of the religion. In short, if one mentions that we should learn the religion, improve and better our Hereafter, there are some who say that they do not get the time.

Bear in mind! Taking out time for essential knowledge and acts of worship of the religion, and worshipping in such a manner as it has been commanded, is our religious responsibility. In fact, it is necessary for a person to take time out and learn the essential matters of whichever job or field a person is related to. It is a sad state that we do not have time to learn the essential matters of the religion, whereas, for worldly matters, we have all the time in the world. Hours are spent
