Bismihi Ta`ala
*AARAAM SE RAHO. GUNAH SE BACHO.*
*Hazrat Mowlana Thanwi r.a. used to say : ‘’Live at ease and take care to stay away from sins.’’ It is possible to live on halaal with all security against sins. This is the sunnah way.*
*Allah Ta`ala says in the Glorious Qur-aan that whatever difficulties we meet in life, its source cause is our sins:* وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ ‘*Whatever hardship befalls you is because of what your hands have committed, while He overlooks many of your faults.*’(42:30)* *So sins cause harm definitely to you and your environment. Had we be paying all our sins then we would have been like dying skeleton on the bed.(Riyadus Saliheen) Our water would have been salty sour impotable.(Shu`abul Imaan) But Allah Ta`ala forgive us lots of sins and that is why we are living walking around and drinking crystal clear potable water.*
*The masnoon du`a when the sun rise is to Thank Allah Ta`ala that He has not destroy us because of our sins(Muslim):*
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَقَالَنَا يَوْمَنَا هَذَا وَلَمْ يُهْلِكْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَامسلم
*Alhamdulillahillazi aqaalanaa yawmanaa hazaa walam youhliknaa bizounoubinaa.*
*Glory be to Allah who has started this day for us and has not destroyed us because of our sins.(Muslim)*
*The masnoon duas after drinking water:*
روى ابن أبي حاتم عن أبي جعفر عن النّبي صلى اللّه عليه وسلم أنه كان إذا شرب الماء، قال: «الحمد للّه الذي سقانا عذبا فراتا برحمته، ولم يجعله ملحا أجاجا بذنوبناالبيهقي*Alhamdulillahillazi Saqaanaa `azban furatan birahmatihi wa lam yaj`alhou milHan Ujaajan bizounoubinaa(Baihaqi)*
*Glory be to Allah who has made us drink a sweet and potable water with His Grace and has not made the water salty and sour due to our sins.(Baihaqi)*
*In fact sins cause harm to your lifestyle and also to your life standards. Reported in IBn Majah that Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said that a person is deprived of his rizq and earnings due to his sins he has committed:*
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَزِيدُ فِي الْعُمْرِ إِلَّا الْبِرُّ وَلَا يَرُدُّ الْقَدَرَ إِلَّا الدُّعَاءُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُحْرَمُ الرِّزْقَ بِخَطِيئَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَاابن ماجة
*So to live a plausible peaceful life, one need to stay away from sins. Don`t be deceived of wealth and prosperity of sinners. Because these wealth and prosperity may be a bait that will soon pull them out completely of their life. Istidraaj is that state that Allah Ta`ala give a lot to a person that He intends to punish. Like giving bait to a fish while fishing and then finally the fisherman pulls the fish abruptly and brutally. And finally end up in the eating dish.*
*Finally know that when someone turn his back to the deen of Allah, neglecting salaahs, the Qur-aan, the sunnah and Da`wa, then Allah Ta`ala will make life difficult for him in the dunya and will resurrect him blind on the day of Qiyamah(20:124).* وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى
*That is why istighfaar and tawbah is the solution to all problems. Because it washes away sins and its ill effects. Hence ‘afiyah and well being re-established.*
*So let`s improve our life and our environment by avoiding sins and choosing a halaal lifestyle. The sunnah teaches us the way out of all sins together with fulfilling our needs.*
