اور حضرت جندب قسری راوی ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، جس نے صبح کی نماز پرھی وہ (دنیا و آخرت میں) اللہ تعالیٰ کے عہد و امان میں ہے لہٰذا ایسا نہ ہو کہ اللہ تعالیٰ تم سے اپنے عہد میں کچھ مواخذہ کرے کیونکہ جس سے اس نے عہد و امان میں مواخذہ کیا تو (اس کا نتیجہ یہ ہوگا کہ) کہ اسے پکڑ کر دوزخ کی آگ میں اوندھے منہ ڈال دے گا۔ (صحیح مسلم) اور مصابیح کے بعض نسخوں میں قسری کے بجائے قشیری ہے۔"

فائدہ:
مطلب یہ ہے کہ جس آدمی نے صبح کی نماز پڑھ لی وہ اللہ تعالیٰ کے عہد و امان میں ہے لہٰذا مسلمانوں کو چاہئے کہ وہ اس آدمی سے بدسلوکی کی نہ کریں، اس کو قتل نہ کریں۔ اس کا مال نہ چھینیں، اس کی غیبت نہ کریں اور اس کے بے آبروئی نہ کریں۔ اگر کسی آدمی نے اس کے ساتھ بد سلوکی یا اس کے ساتھ کوئی ایسا رویہ اختیار کیا جو اس کی جان و مال اور اس کی اابرو کے لیے نقصان دہ ہو تو اس کا مطلب ہوگا کہ اس نے اللہ تعالیٰ کے عہد و امان میں خلل ڈالا لہٰذا اللہ تعالیٰ ایسے آدمی سے سخت مواخذہ کرے گا اور جس بد نصیب سے اللہ تعالیٰ نے مواخذہ کیا اس کے لیے نجات کا کوئی ذریعہ نہ ہوگا۔
یا پھر " عہد و امان" سے مراد نماز ہے کہ صبح کی نماز پڑھنے سے اللہ تعالیٰ نے دنیا و آخرت میں امن دینے کا وعدہ کر لیا ہے، لہٰذا مسلمانوں کو چاہئے کہ وہ صبح کی نماز ہر گز قضا نہ کریں ورنہ ان کے اور پروردگار کے درمیان جو عہد ہے وہ ٹوٹ جائے گا جس پر اللہ تعالیٰ مواخذہ کرے گا اور اس کے مواخذے سے بچانے کی کوئی ہمت بھی نہیں کر سکتا۔

What the Qur'an Teaches: No injustice for anyone

In the name of God, the Lord of Grace, the Ever Merciful Pray to God, then, sincere in your faith in Him alone, however hateful this may be to the unbelievers. High above all orders (of being) is He, the Lord of the Throne. By His own will does He bestow revelation on whomever He wills of His servants, so as to warn of the Day when all shall meet Him; the Day when they shall come forth, with nothing about them concealed from God. With whom does sovereignty rest today? With God, the One who holds absolute sway over all that exists. This day each soul will be requited for what it has earned: no injustice will be done today. God is swift in reckoning. Warn them of the Day that is ever drawing near, when people’s hearts will chokingly come up to the throats. The wrongdoers will have neither intimate friend nor intercessor to be heeded. God is well aware of the stealthiest glance, and of everything the heart would conceal. God will judge in accordance with truth and justice, whereas those whom they invoke besides Him cannot judge at all. God alone hears all and sees all. (The Forgiving, Ghafir; 40: 14-20)

In connection with turning to God, the believers are instructed to pray to God alone and to be sincere in their faith, paying little heed to what the unbelievers feel or say: “Pray to God, then, sincere in your faith in Him alone, however hateful this may be to the unbelievers.” The unbelievers will never accept that the believers should hold on sincerely to their faith in God alone and their worship of none but Him. There is no way they will accept this, no matter how much the believers try to appease them. Therefore, the believers should stay their course, praying to God alone, completely sincere and devoted. They should pay no heed to whether the unbelievers are happy with them or not, because they will never be satisfied.

The surah adds at this point the following attributes of God: “High above all orders (of being) is He, the Lord of the Throne. By His own will does He bestow revelation on whomever He wills of His servants.” It is God alone who is exalted in His position, high above all orders of being, the Lord of the Throne who controls everything. It is He who gives His orders, which give life to hearts and souls, to those whom He chooses from among His servants. This expression refers to the revelation of the divine message, and it highlights here the fact that God’s revelations bring life to humanity. It further states that revelation is bestowed from on high to those chosen elite among God’s servants. All these facts are in harmony with God’s attributes mentioned earlier in the surah, stating that He is “the Exalted, the Supreme One.”

The main task undertaken by a servant of God chosen to receive such a message is to deliver a warning: “So as to warn of the Day when all shall meet Him.” That is the day when people will meet together, and they will also stand face to face with the deeds they did during their lives on earth, and they will meet other creatures such as the jinn, the angels and other types of God’s creation. All of them will meet their Lord at the time of reckoning. Hence the day is described as “the day of the meeting.” Furthermore, it is the day when they all stand without any cover to screen their reality. Hence, no one can put up a false image: “The Day when they shall come forth, with nothing about them concealed from God.” In fact, nothing about them is concealed from God at any time. However, at all times other than that day, they may imagine that they are covered or screened by something or another, or that what they do or say may remain secret. On that day, however, they will be truly exposed, unable to enjoy even an imaginary cover.

Therefore, on that day the arrogant and the mighty are made to face their humble reality. The whole universe stands in awe, and all creatures demonstrate their submission. Sovereignty belongs completely to God, the One who overpowers all. In fact this is true at all times. However, on that day, this fact becomes clear to all and sundry. Every tyrant of old and every conceited person will come to know and feel it. Then every sound dies down and every movement stops. A majestic voice asks a question and replies to it, as there is no one else to ask or reply: “With whom does sovereignty rest today?”... “With God, the One who holds absolute sway over all that exists.

“This day each soul will be requited for what it has earned: No injustice will be done today. God is swift in reckoning.”

An air of awe, heightened by silence spreads. All creatures listen and realize; everything is settled, the reckoning is over. This is in harmony with what the surah said at the outset about those who dispute God’s revelations: “Let it not deceive you that they seem to be able to do as they please on earth.”

This is the end of unjustified arrogance, tyranny and injustice, as well as of wealth and affluence. The surah instructs the Prophet (peace be upon him) to warn his people about this day. The instruction is given against a backdrop of an image of the Day of Resurrection when God sits alone for judgment. Up till now the surah has not addressed people directly; instead it used a reporting style.

The surah describes the Day of Judgment as ever drawing near, and we perceive it to be hastening toward us. Souls are in distress, pressing against people’s throats. They try to suppress their worries and fears, and the effort is difficult. Nevertheless, they can find no one to support or protect them. No one can put up a word of intercession that finds response from anyone. They stand in full view; nothing can conceal their reality. Even a stealthy glance and a heart’s secret is brought into the open: “God is well aware of the most stealthy glance, and of everything the heart would conceal.” An eye looking stealthily will try hard to conceal its stealthy gaze, but God is well aware of it. A secret may be hidden safely in one’s soul, but it is not hidden from God who knows it all. On that day, it is God only who passes judgment in fairness. Their alleged deities have nothing to do with such judgment: “God will judge in accordance with truth and justice, whereas those whom they invoke besides Him cannot judge at all.” His judgment is based on perfect knowledge and full awareness. He will not entertain any injustice for anyone, and He forgets nothing: “God alone hears all and sees all.”

How they lived: Utbah Bin Ghazwan (may Allah be pleased with him) - Sermon

From the lives of our pious predecessors:

Khalid Bin ‘Umayr Al-’Adawi reports, ‘Utbah Bin Ghazwan (may Allah be pleased with him) once gave us a sermon. He praised Allah and said: “The life of this world has announced its departure and is quickly turning away, and nothing remains of it save the likes of the last drop of water in a vessel as its possessor tries to catch it. You are moving on to an abode that has no end, so move on with the best (deeds) that you have. For it has been said to us that a rock can be dropped from the edge of Hell and fall for 70 years without reaching the bottom. Yet, by Allah, it will be filled. Do you not then wonder? And it has been said to us that a single entrance to Paradise is as wide as a journey of 40 years, yet there will come a day when it will be crowded.

“I have seen myself as the seventh of seven (followers of) Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him). We had no food except the leaves of trees which produced sores round our mouths. I once got a cloak which I tore in half to share with Sa’d Bin Malik. I used half as my waist-wrap and he used the other. And yet today, there is not one of us except that he has become a governor over some city – and I seek refuge with Allah that I consider myself great and important when I am small in front of Allah. Verily there was never prophethood except that it gradually changed until it ended up being a kingship, and verily you will see what the governors after us are like.”

Roshan Rahain

اور حضرت ابوہریرہ راوی ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، اگر لوگوں کو اذان کہنے اور (نماز میں) پہلی صف میں کھرے ہونے کا ثواب معلوم ہو جائے اور بغیر قرعہ ڈالے انہیں یہ حاصل نہ ہو سکے تو وہ ضرور قرعہ ہی ڈالیں (یعنی اگر لوگ اذان دینے اور پہلی صف میں کھڑے ہونے کے لیے آپس میں نزاع کریں اور قرعہ ڈال کر دیکھیں کہ کس کا نام نکلتا ہے تو یہ مناسب ہے) اور اگر ظہر کی نماز کے لیے جلدی آنے کا ثوب جان لیں تو اس نماز میں دوڑتے ہوئے آیا کریں اور اگر عشاء و صبح کی نماز فضیلت معلوم ہو جائے اور (تو فوت نہ ہونے کی حالت میں بھی ان نمازوں کے لیے) سرین کے بل چل کر آئیں۔" (صحیح البخاری و صحیح مسلم


سرین کے بل چل کر آنے ، کا مطلب یہ ہے کہ اگر کوئی آدمی پاؤں سے چلنے کی طاقت نہ رکھتا ہو تو اس نماز کی فضیلت حاصل کرنے کے لیے اس طرح گھسٹتا ہو اآئے جس طرح ضعیف و معذور چل کر آتے ہیں۔

[6. Surah Al-An'am : Ayah 120]

And abandon open and secret sin; surely they who earn sin shall be recompensed with what they earned.

Praising (Thanking) Allah

[14. Surah Ibrahim : Ayah 7] "And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe."

My Lord! grant me that I should be grateful for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I should do good such as Thou art pleased with, and make me enter, by Thy mercy, into Thy servants, the good ones.
