Ibn Kathir Tafsir of the Glorious Qur'an |
|
NASEEHAT
by Hajee Ahmed Nakooda (Madinah
Munawwara)
For a person to become a Perfect Believer, he has to have
Taqwa (i.e. piety). Taqwa is gained when a person is purified
from spiritual maladies, pride, malice, etc. This is achieved
by making Zikr, reciting a lot of Darood Sharief daily, and
protecting the 7 Parts of the body from sin.
- THE EYES:- Casting lustful glances at Na-Mahram men or
women is committing adultery of the eye. This makes the
heart filthy and ruins it. Without sincere Tawba
(repentance) even the Iman can be ruined. Viewing of
pornographic material, photographs, television, films, etc.
is also adultery of the eye.
- THE TONGUE:- Backbiting and speaking lies ruins the
heart. If it becomes a habit. then it ruins a persons Iman -
unless a person repents (i.e. makes Tauba) sincerely.
- THE EARS..- Listening to music - this is very harmful
since it breeds hypocrisy in the heart, and it leads to
immodesty.
- THE STOMACH:- If one morsel of Haraam food enters the
stomach then the prayers and Duas of the person is not
accepted for 40 days. One should totally abstain from all
Haraam transactions, especially that of Riba.
- THE HANDS:- To unjustly take away someone's possession
even if it is just worth half a cent. One will have to repay
the oppressed person 700 Maqbool (accepted) Salaats
(Prayers) of his on the Day of Judgement. To hit one's
children over the limit is cruelty, the result is very
disastrous in both the worlds.
- THE LEGS.- One should totally abstain from going to evil
places.
- THE PRIVATE PARTS:- One should protect one's private
parts and totally abstain from adultery (Zina). Just as
Music and Wine are causes of earthquakes, so too is
adultery. It also causes the harmful disease Aids.
Hence one has to achieve Taqwa to safeguard one's Iman and
to be saved from the calamities of this world and the
hereafter.
The following deeds are prescribed by our great Ulamas.
 |
Daily Kitaab Reading -
mainly virtues of charity. |
|
Remembering death, the
grave, judgement, crossing of the Pul Sirat, etc. daily. |
|
Zikr and Istighfar, First
and Third Kalima and abundant Darood Sharief, Tilawat of
the Quran and the following
Duas:- |
O Allah! I beg of Thee, the true guidance,
righteousness, piety and freedom from want.
O Allah! I beg of Thee sound health,
chastity, honesty, good manners (character) and cheerful
submission to Thy decree.
