It is not appropriate to go to a provision store and vaguely ask them to give you one kilogram ‘provision’. Shop man will become irritated. Board in the shop is displayed as provision store. It is a common name. All items will be available here. Different grocery items are orderly arranged. You have to particularly ask for what you want. Then you will get it. You cannot enter a fruit stall and vaguely ask for fruits. You have to be particular whether you want apple or orange or grapes. Who named them? No one can change the name of Brinjal as Ladies finger. Brinjal has to be called as Brinjal till Qiyamat. Even UN cannot pass resolution and change its name.
One thousand rupee currency note contains thousand one rupee coins within it. It contains two hundred 5 rupee notes, hundred 10 rupee notes, or ten 100 rupee notes within it. One single thousand rupee notes contain other denominations within it. One Haq, one Supreme Being. Everything is contained within. Lord does not become vegetable or fruit. Provision comes as different guards and grains. You cannot buy anything without using proper name. Entire world is contained within one name. You don’t have the capacity to understand. But I cannot skip this. You learn foreign languages when you go there. That is the way to survive. Rab – everything comes within it. ‘Ilaah’ is common name. Rabbil alameen – Lord of everything. You  will have a life free of troubles and sorrows if you understand the meaning of Rab. You will get a splendid life. There should be constant contact and communication with Lord. 99 names come within Rab. Rab and Ilaahi comes within Allah.
A Hindu friend who stays in gulf fluently talks Arabic. But a person who studied seven years in Madrasa is unable to speak Arabic. Friends and circle matter. Allay says, ‘Kunu ma’a sadiqeen’. Be with righteous people. We will acquire the quality of those we are attached to. Arabic can be learned if you have interest. Arabs are fond of that Hindu friend. Interest to learn is important. Learn about Rab. We are ignorant about Asmaul Husna, Allah’s names. Muslim women go to banks and inquire about profits in fixed deposits. What is the profit for 5 year period and 10 year period. What will be the profit till death. No one knows. Do you know when you will die. Is there any guarantee to life. ‘Hayyalas salaat’. Allah calls. We are turning deaf ears. Some are busy pandering their grand children. Some are busy in their business. We get ready by 10’o clock for a marriage at 11. That is an invitation. Prayer call is an invitation too.
We give importance to invitation by relatives. Allah created us. Then we got relations. If He didn’t create us, there won’t be any relation. One should not talk while prayer call is given. Allah is calling us. Are we talking anything more important. Imaan will be taken away from us. We will be at loss both in this world and in the Hereafter. We cannot perfectly follow divine commands until we seek and acquire divine knowledge. Lakhs of people are participating in Eid prayers. But mosques remain empty in Zuhar prayer on the same day. 40 lakhs, 80 lakhs, one crore rupee are spent to construct mosques. Mosque is Allah’s house. We should hasten towards it if Allah’s command, Azaan, is announced. This is the path to success.
