Avoid Useless Talks

Quran Dars by Peerzada Allama Syed Mohammed Razaul Haq Aleemi Shah Aamiri
Published in Muslim Murasu, June 2012

Mishkath Hadees – Prophet said, “Umru ummathi minasitheena ilas sabaeen”. Life span of my community is between 60 and 70. It is by God’s grace that a person lives after 60. “va akalluhum maiyajud zalik” – Few will live after 70. Age of some people is 75. They desire to live another 75 years. They argue, “My grandma lived till 110”. Don’t go by what your grandparents told you. It is important to understand the reality taught in religion.
Live this small, temporary life according to Allah’s Will. Allah will please you in the eternal, permanent life that has no decline or decay. Please Allah in this ephemeral life and you will be happy in the eternal life. It is foolishness to live this life as per whims and fancies. You are prisoners in Allah’s prison. Melt in this cauldron. Don’t indulge in pleasures. Avoid sins. Seek Allah’s protection from which He has detested. This life is for two days. You won’t get an amazing life here even if you ignore Allah. Corrupt people are more entrenched in problems and crises than righteous ones. They have more diseases, tension and restlessness. Our boldness to live according to our desires is wrong. This world is a prison for Believers. Palaces cannot be raised inside prisons. It is a madman’s job to have liking for prison. It is abject folly. This world is a place for problems and dangers. It is by God’s grace that we get to live some happy moments.
Surah 41, Hamim, verse 31 – “va lakum fiha ma tashtahi anfusukum valakum fiha ma tadhavun”. There you will get whatever you desire and whatever you ask. It is Allah’s mercy that He has ordained to live this short life according to His Will and He has given eternal life to our pleasure. We are not interested in learning this. We say this as Shariath. People of Tarikath should learn matters of Shariath. The word ‘Nafs’ is used in this verse.
You will get what your Nafs desires. You can choose the fruits and meat of birds that you like. “va fakihathin yathakayyarun valahmi taiyrin mimma yashtahun” – Surah 56, Waqia, verses 20, 21. “Hoorun een”. They will appear like women with big eyes. But they are not human beings. They are not children of Adam and Eve. Hoors are created out of Zafran in heaven.
Haura – singular; lady with fair complexion, Hoor – plural
Einau – singular; lady with big eyes, Een – plural
Women who had done good deeds will look more gorgeous than Hoor. Hoor did not do deeds. But women have lived a virtuous life here. They served their parents, in-laws and husband. They respected Allah and Rasoolullah. So they will look more beautiful. This is their reward.
There won’t be vain talks in heaven. “la yasmauna fiha lagvan vala tahsheema” – verse 25. Prophet said, “Ar reebathu ashadu minazina”. Backbiting is worse than prostitution. A person following fruitful principle will forsake useless talks. If you avoid useless talks, it means you are following true religion. Avoid talks that have no use in this world or the next. There won’t be any sinful talks. “illa keelan salaman salama” – verse 26. They will only hear Salaam.
You will die the way you lived. You will be risen the same way. If you had lived doing good deeds, you will face death in an amicable way. People who whiled away their time playing cards and gambling will die the same way. Backbiting people, liars, those who get usury, will die in such situations. Death will reflect the way you lived. “tamuthuna kama tahyavun”.
There won’t be any sins in heaven. Only righteous actions will exist. Intention, inclination, to do bad things will be removed. There won’t be any thought for backbiting or illicit sex. There will be liking only for good actions. In this world, there will be thoughts for evil. You have to avoid them and consciously choose and do good things. There won’t be Shirk or Kufr in heaven. If you live a life free of sins, you will be blessed with same life in heaven. Won’t sinners get heaven? They may get. But usually heaven is only for righteous ones. This is Allah’s Sunnath, His method. Sometimes He will exhibit His Kudrath, His Majesty. Some people say that we will stay in hell only for a short span and then we will be forgiven and sent to heaven. You cannot endure a fraction of the heat in hell. A moment in hell in incomprehensible.
There won’t be ‘Panja’ in heaven. It is sin to even see something that is sin. Panja is not accepted in Islam. This is not Sunnath. Panja has nothing to do with Ali(ral), Husain (rali) or Sunnathul Jamath. Fire trench is practice of other community. Muslims have borrowed this. Islam has no place for Pattan Ka Panja, Theen Bol ka Panja, Bol Theen Ka Panja. People of Ahle Sunnath should not participate in Panja. Offspring of Panja title should renounce their title. You won’t incur any loss by this. Some elders do not talk or criticize about Panja. They don’t participate in it either. Panja should be stopped. Only most ignorant and foolish among Muslims practice Panja. They even invite me to recite Fatiha in Panja. Allah will forgive childhood sins. But ignorance should not continue.
A life free of sins is heavenly life. Islamic life is heavenly life. Materialistic, sinful life is life of hell. Shadow in heaven is completely different from shadow in this world. We store fruits in refrigerators. All fruits will be available in all seasons in heaven without measure.
