who had indeed warned that because of our neglecting lbaadah He will not cause poverty to be removed nor free the heart from preoccupying worries? In a Hadeeth it is reported that Allah says: “If My Servants serve Me dutifully, I will send over them the rains by night when they sleep and over them the sun will continue to shine (so that in their affairs there will be no hindrance) and the sound of lightning will not reach their ears (so that for them there will be no need for fear and anxiety)” (Jami- us-Sagheer) But in contrast what is our position through our own deeds? Daily from all corners we hear complaints of little or no rain; and when it does come it brings disastrous storms and floods with the most fearful results. In the’ ‘Ihya” (of Imam Ghazzali) there is a story of a severe drought during the time of Nabi Moosa (Alayhis Salaam). Bani Israel went out into the desert for three consecutive days. Still the rains did not come. On the third day it was revealed to Nabi Moosa (Alayhis Salaam) that the rains did not come because of the fact that among the congregation there was a man responsible for carrying and spreading gossip about others. That was the reason for their prayers remaining unanswered. Nabi Moosa (Alayhis Salaam) then asked to be informed as to the identity of that person so that he could be separated from the congregation. Allah replied: “How is it that I prohibit you from tale-bearing and gossip and now you want me to be guilty of the same? I shall not point out the person responsible.” Thereupon Nabi Moosa (Alayhis Salaam) addressed his people and exhorted them all to repent of talebearing and gossip. He made them seek forgiveness for all sins. Very soon the rains came down. (Ihya) Imam Sufyan Thowri (Rahmatullah Alayh) relates that such a severe drought came over Banj Israel once. So severe was it that because of lack of food the people picked up dead animals from the dirt-heaps to eat. It finally became so bad that people even began to eat human flesh. The people became so bewildered and troubled that for days and days they proceeded to the deserts and onto the mountains to pray for rain. Then Allah spoke to the Prophets of that time through Revelation: “Even f your tongues become dry from all the prayers you say (while calling on Me) and even though you lift up your hands in prayer till they reach the very heavens, I shall not show any Mercy to any of you who cry and wail so bitterly until you people discard all your unjust dealings and unfair treatment among yourselves.” Similar stories are numerous in the books of history and Ahaadeeth. Indeed, there are many Ahaadeeth which tell us that the attainment of success and prosperity in this world and in the Hereafter comes through the doing of deeds of righLousness. They also clearly indicatç that the losses and blows suffered in this world and in the Hereafter is as a result of evil deeds committed. To quote all those Ahaadeeth is not possible for me and neither is it my objective. What I want to show here is: Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 66
If the Rasul of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is indeed considered by us to be a truthful informer, what great injustice are we not doing to ourselves by knowingly allowing ourselves to be involved in those things which, according to him, most certainly causes our destruction? Why do we still adopt this line of action which causes ourselves great harm and misery? And yet our tongues still proclaim loudly that we are Muslims? We are exactly like that sick man who suffers from diarrhoea. While his stomach continues to run because of open bowels, he still continues to take purgative medicines and laxatives. This further aggravates his illness. Now he complains that his stomach does not stop running. Let someone ask this toolish man: Dear brother, you treat your diarrhoea with purgatives. Tell me: Are these medicines supposed to stop the running stomach or to increase it? Why this oppression At this moment we are protesting against the persecution and oppression of the British colonial power in India. At the same time we fear even more the future government that will take over (from them.) Did not Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) warn us about this? Did he not in very clear terms explain to us the causes of such goverments and actions? Is there any fault in the affectionate love, teachings and warnings of Sayyidina Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)? May my soul, my father and my mother he sacrificed for him!! Never is it possible that there can be any flaw in his teachings! He said: “As you are (as far as your actions are) so will be the rulers that will soon be set over you.” (Mishkat) Therefore if we desire the best (and most just) government to rule over us, there will be only one way of assuring that. And that is righteous deeds. In a second Hadeeth it is reported: Abu Darda (Radiallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “Allah says: I am Allah besides whom there is no Diety, the Master of Kings, King of Kings. Verily the hearts of kings are under the control of My Hands. When My servants obey me, I turn the hearts of kings and rulers towards them so that they rule over them with mercy and kindness and when My servants Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 67
