evil suggestions (waswasa) of the devil.” She inquired if there was a devil by her. He answered, “Yes there is.” She further inquired whether there was a devil by Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’. He answered: “Yes, there is, but Allâhu ta’âlâ is protecting me from the evil suggestions of the devil.” He implied that his devil had become a Muslim and now only suggested good thoughts to him. Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sal-lam’ states in another hadîth-i-sherîf: “Allâhu ta’âlâ bestowed upon me two blessings which He has not given to anybody else: my devil used to be a disbeliever He has made it a Muslim and He has blessed me with wives who help me in the way of spreading Islam!” The devil of Adam ‘alaihis-salâm’ was a disbeliever and his wife Eve (Hadrat Hawwa) was deceived by the oath of the devil in Paradise and she caused Hadrat Âdam ‘alaihis-salâm’ to make the well-known mistake. People’s ghayrat towards Allâhu ta’âlâ is their disinclination towards perpetration of prohibited acts. The opposite of jealousy is to give advice (nasîhat). It is a desire in one’s heart about another person who has received the blessings (worldly or other than worldly) that he should keep those blessings so that he may do good religious or worldly things through them. It is incumbent (wâjib) for all Muslims to give advice to others. Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sal-lam’ said, “A person who is instrumental for another person’s performing good deeds will receive as much reward as the person who performs the goodness,” and “Any Muslim who asks blessings for himself but does not ask the same blessings for other Muslims has not had belief,” and “The basis of religion is to give advice.” The meaning of giving advice for the sake of Allâhu ta’âlâ is to inform others that Allâhu ta’âlâ exists, that there is only one Allah, that He is the only One Who possesses Attributes of Perfection and Beauty, that He does not possess any deficiency or any kind of attributes which are not worthy of Him, that it is necessary for everyone to worship Him with a pure intention, that everyone should try to earn His favor and approval as well as one can accomplish, that no one should rebel against Him, that everyone should love His friends, that everyone should oppose His adversaries, that everyone should love those who obey His commandments, that everyone should dislike those who disobey His commandments, that everyone should cite His blessings and pay their gratitude for them, that everyone should have compassion toward His creatures and that no one should assert He possesses any of the attributes He does – 102 –
not possess. Giving advice (nasîhat) for the Qur’ân is that everyone should believe in the facts written in the Qur’ân; everyone should perform commandments written in the Qur’ân; no one should attempt to make translations of the Qur’ân with their limited comprehension; everyone should read or recite the Qur’ân much in the best and truest way and everyone should know and let others know that it is not permissible to touch the Qur’ân without ritual cleansing (wudu). Giving advice for the Prophet Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’ is to let (others) know that it is necessary for everyone to believe everything taught by him; it is necessary for everyone to respect him and his name; it is necessary for everyone to practice and spread his Sunnat; it is necessary for everyone to assimilate his beautiful morals and ethics, and it is a must for everyone to love his progeny (Ahl-i-bayt) and his companions (Sahâba) [1] and his followers (Ummat). Giving advice (nasîhat) for the government of a country is to tell others that it is necessary to help those government officials who respect Allâhu ta’âlâ and protect His religion and give freedom to people to practice their religion. It is to advise them about the truth or the correct way and to tell them that they must observe the rights of Muslims. It is not to rebel against them and not to violate the laws. It is to pray for them so that they may serve Islam and humanity. It is to pray for them in their absence and to help them financially or physically or by praying (duâ) for them when they perform (jihâd) against disbelievers. It is to pay the tax and obligatory almsgiving. It is not to attack anyone with guns. It is to guide and lead them to the right path and justice in a soft manner without rebelling against them even when they perpetrate oppression and injustice. It is not to fawn on them and not to cause them to swerve from the right and correct way. It is to tell everyone that it is necessary not to rebel against those who are in charge of the government. It is to tell everyone that it is necessary for everyone to follow the teachings of the religious laws (fiqh); ilm al-hal books and ethics books written by “Ahl as-sunnat scholars”. Giving advice (nasîhat) for everyone is to tell them that they should perform the things that are useful for this world and the next and that they should avoid doing things harmful in this world and the next and that they should not hurt anybody and should teach others what they do not know and overlook their mistakes when it is necessary. It is to tell [1] Please see the book entitled Sahâba ‘The Blessed’, available from Hakîkat Kitâbevi, Fatih-Istanbul, Turkey. – 103 –
