Friend Will Not Give Trouble

Maulana Syed Muhammad Raza'ul Haq Aleemi Shah Aamiri speech
Published in Muslim Murasu, December 2012

Some people don’t come for prayers. Truth is that Allah does not want them to pray. Allah’s Will has to be there for a man to do good deeds. This is precondition. Allah accepts the deed even before it comes into action. Goodness starts from His acceptance. Deed follows Allah’s approval. First comes His approval, later comes Ibadat.
It is man’s nature to appreciate after seeing. We appreciate a speaker after hearing the speech. We praise a cook after having a delicious meal.
‘aleemun bi zaatis sudoor’. Allah knows what is in the hearts. He sees the future. A good deed occurring is in itself an evidence that Allah has accepted it. Good deeds are done with God’s blessing.
Surah Tauba, 9, verse 46 – ‘walaakin karihallahu nbiaashahum fashabbatahum’. Allah despised them coming out and made them stay back.
Hypocrites said lame excuses to avoid participating in the war. They did not show interest. Trial is not being in the company of Prophet. But hypocrites did not like Prophet’s company. Verse 49 – ‘waminhum manyakoolu ihzanli walaa taftinee alaa fil fitnati sakatoo’. ‘Grant me exception, don’t put us in trouble’. Actual trouble is in staying away from Prophet. That is the real turmoil. Prophet’s company is the best of all blessings. There is no life out of his company.
Verse 51 – ‘qul lanyuseebanaa illa maakataballahulanaa’. We will only get those troubles that Allah has decreed for us. They are predetermined. Sickness and death will come as ordained. ‘huwa maulana’. Allah is our Friend, Master, Guardian, Overseer. Allah gave us Wajood, Hayaat, Samaat, Basaarat, Kalaam, Islam, Imaan, love for Prophet and guidance. He has blessed us with thousands of favors. He won’t give us trouble. Troubles are blessings in disguise. They are for our learning. That which is sent by friend cannot be a trouble. Don’t take it as turmoil. Don’t see the problem; see the One who sent it.
Everyone has troubles. Allah says Prophet to tell this message to afflicted people. Prophet considers everyone’s problem as his own. ‘I feel the pain if one of you is injured by a thorn’. Prophet is among us. ‘wahlamoo anna feekum rasoolallah’. Your trials cause him grief. Verse 128 – ‘azeezun alaihi maa anitum’.
