"They ask you concerning the new moon, Say: They are times appointed for (the benefit of) men, and (for) the pilgramage; and it is not righteousness that you should enter the houses at their backs, but righteousness is this that one should guard (against evil); and go into the houses by their doors and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, that you may be successful."
(Surah No:2 & Verse No: 189)
Did you ever think about the above mentioned verse of the Holy Quran?. What it tells us and guide us?. We always running behind the things which are useless but we make them so much important that we even forgot the sayings of Holy Quran.We go to shrines and bow our head, knot the ties on the trees and this way we think that Allah will accept our prayers. This is not the righteousness as the old age people think that in the month of Hajj they will not enter their homes from the front doors. They think that if they will enter the house from their backs then Allah will be pleased with them.
All these things are just their assumptions as we assume that if we will knot to some trees, light the lamps and etc then Allah will be pleased and we assume that this is the righteousness. Allah clearly told s that the righteousness not lies in such things inspite of all this Allah told us that the righteousness lies in the following things.
- Believe in one Allah
- Stand against evil
Every thing which is against the evil forces is the righteousness and all those things which will support the evil will not be the righteousess. This is a very simple formula which we will all need to follow. But i know it is so difficult, say our prayer five times a day and keep them continue till the last breath of our life is a very hard task. It is very simple that we will stand in a row and then cross a door then think that we will go to the heaven as the Muslims do on the shrine of a great sofi and scholar (Hazrat Baba Fareed). I want to declare one thing that i am not against the sufies and saints but we all need to follow the same path which they adopt. We need to follow the path of our Holy Prophet. In the presence of their life model i do not think that we all need some other role mode.
We need to think about the things and change our life style. I know it is so difficult but i know that human can do evey thing and the most important thing we need is the will, if we decide to follow the verses of the Holy Quran then you will find that the forces of the light will help you to over come on the forces of evil and dark. May Allah help us to fight against the evil ang guard our self against the evil.
