Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates, that the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was asked about a deed which shall cause many people to enter Jannah. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated in reply: ‘Fearing Allah Almighty and good character.’ (Al-Ihsan Bi-tarteeb Sahih Ibn-e-Hibbaan, vol. 1, p. 349, Hadith 476)
Dear Islamic brothers! In the previous hadith, we have heard about how fearing Allah Almighty is a cause for being entered into Jannah. This topic is also found in a host of other blessed Ahadith and verses of the Holy Quran, that he who fears Allah Almighty shall be entered into Jannah. The reality is in fact, that if one was to analyse this statement closely, then ‘fearing Allah Almighty’ is the source of every good deed, and not fearing Allah is the source of all sins. Hence, he who possesses this great quality shall be admitted into Jannah. Whereas, if one does not fear Allah Almighty, he shall remain deprived of Jannah. We should all strive to keep the fear of Allah Almighty in our heart. One way of doing this is to remain associated with the religiou s environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Take part in the 12 religious works of the district Halqah, and one of these 12 works is the filling in of the Pious Deeds booklet. Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has given us the Pious Deeds booklet, a unique way of performing good deeds and avoiding sins in this time of tribulation and misguidance. From amongst the good deeds prescribed in this booklet, pious deed number 33 is thus: ‘Have you offered Tahajjud prayer today? Or in case of not sleeping at night, offered night time prayers?’ By filling in this booklet, one can cultivate their mindset to abstain from sins and safeguard their faith, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه.
