profit which he obtained by selling it won’t be halâl. The profit should be given as alms. If the goods userped from various individuals were mixed with each other, or with usurper’s own property, and if they cannot be separated, all of them will be the usurper’s tainted property. But, it is not halâl for him to use them unless he compensates for them. Compensation does not cause that sin to be forgiven.” In the commentary of the book Durar, Sharnblâlî says, “If the cruel man mixes the usurped goods with his own goods, they become his own property. If his own halâl property left is to equal the amount of nisâb after he has given them for compensation, he should give zakât for all the mixture before the compensation. If the mixture equals the amount of nisâb, or his own halâl property is not enough to compensate for it, or the amount left after compensation is not equal to the nisâb, zakât will not be necessary.”] Though there are beloved ones interested in sweet meals and smart dresses, real pleasure is in what the people of warâ’ eat and wear. Couplet: He who gave that to rank occupiers Gives this to the men of warâ’. The difference between ‘that’ and ‘this’ is very great. For Allahu ta’âlâ does not like ‘that,’ but He likes ‘this.’ Moreover, on the Day of Resurrection the accounting for ‘that’ will be difficult, while the accounting for ‘this’ will be easy. O Allah! Have mercy upon us! Do not allow us to deviate from the right way! 43 – SECOND VOLUME, 66th LETTER This letter, written in Arabic to Khân-i Khânân ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ aleyh’ a governor of India, explains tawba (repentance), inâbat, warâ’ and taqwâ. I begin my letter with the Basmala. That is, to be able to write this letter, I trust myself to Allahu ta’âlâ, who is so merciful and bounteous, and I depend on Him. Every hamd, every thanks, belongs to Him by right. I send my salâm to the good people whom He chooses and loves. Our valuable lives are elapsing into committing sins, making mistakes, and doing what is wrong. Therefore, it will be pleasant for us to converse on repentance, on hanging the head in shame towards Allahu ta’âlâ, and to talk about warâ’ and taqwâ. Allahu ta’âlâ declares - 156 -
in the thirty-first âyat of Sûrat-un-Nûr: “O Believers! You all repent and ask Allah’s pardon! You can be saved only by repenting.” He declares in the eighth âyat of Sûrat-ut-Tahrîm, which is at the end of the twenty-eighth chapter of the Qur’ân [the Qur’ân consists of thirty chapters equal in page numbers], “O elite, who have îmân! Return to Allahu ta’âlâ! Repent sincerely! That is, do not break your repentance! If you repent in this manner, maybe your Allah will forgive you and will put you into Paradise, where there are trees and villas under which water flows.” He declares in the hundred and twentieth âyat of Sûrat-ul-An’âm, “Abstain from sins, whether they are evident or secret.” It is fard-i ayn [1] for everybody to repent for his sins. Nobody can escape repentance. How can anyone ever escape it, despite the fact that all Prophets (alaihimussalawâtu wattaslîmât) used to repent? Muhammad (’alaihi wa alaihimussalawât), who was the final and the greatest of all, stated: “A curtain [that prevents divine lights from coming] gets drawn across my heart. Therefore, I say istighfâr [1] seventy times each day.” If there are no human rights in the sin which is committed, if it is only bettween Allah and oneself, e.g. committing adultery, having alcoholic drinks, listening to musical instruments, looking at nâmahram women, holding the Qur’ân without having an abdast (ritual ablution), getting stuck in corrupt beliefs, such as Râfidî, Wahhabi, and others, one can repent by regretting [what one has done], by saying istighfâr, and by being ashamed, embarrassed towards Allahu ta’âlâ and begging His pardon. If one has omitted one of the fard without an excuse, for repenting, one has to perform that fard together with all of these. [It is said in the book Targîbussalât: “In a hadîth-i sharîf it was declared: ‘If a person, without any excuse, performs a salât after its due time, he will be burned in Hell for as long as eighty huqba. One huqba is eighty years. One year in the Hereafter is three hundred and sixty days. One day is as long as eighty [1] Actions, words, and thoughts which Allahu ta’âlâ clearly commands in the Qur’ân are called farz (or fard). Farz-i-ayn means a farz which is obligatory for every Muslim. Every Muslims has to carry out the farz-iayn. Compare: fn (90) on page 205. [1] To ask Allah’s pardon. To entreat Him for His forgiveness. - 157 -
