Lowering your Gaze by
Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (rahmatullahi
alayh)
Lustful gazes
have become an epidemic with consequences that
are so far-reaching, to the point of crippling
one’s spirituality, weakening one’s
Imaan, sometimes even to the extent of losing
one’s Imaan - for a pretty face or a handsome
face. (May Allah Ta’ala protect us all).
More and more
Muslim brothers and even sisters write, after
realizing or experiencing the effects of the ‘bitter-sweet’poison
of evil glancing: They want an antidote; they
want desperately to escape their habit –
before they totally self-destruct; because their
habit of casting lustful gazes landed them in
the gutters of immorality and they have had to
then contend with disgrace, humiliation and sometimes
a life-long stigma.
Bridal and Baby Showers by Hazrat Maulana Yunus
Patel Saheb (rahmatullahi alayh)
Allah Ta’ala,
in His Infinite Wisdom, which we, with our limited
intelligence cannot comprehend, distributes amongst
mankind of His bounties. Wealth, intelligence,
health, beauty and all other goodness are given
by Allah Ta’ala.
There is no need
to burn the heart over someone else’s gifts,
fortunes and possessions. Harbouring jealousy
in the heart only harms the one who is jealous,
ruins his peace of mind, torments his heart, and
destroys his own good deeds.
It mentioned
in a Hadeeth: "Beware of jealousy, for verily
it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood."[1]
Avoiding the forbidden hand-shake by Hazrat Maulana Yunus
Patel Saheb (rahmatullahi alayh)
In the business
field, men and women are often found offering
their hand for a handshake. It is formality and
considered part of good business dealings and
interaction. Many brothers enquire as to how to
deal with such situations.
As Muslims, we
keep before us the Command of Allah Ta’ala:
That it is Haraam (forbidden) for us to touch,
let alone shake the hand of a strange woman (or
vice versa).
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu
‘alayhi wasallam) said: "It is better
for an iron rod (nail) to be driven into the head
of a man, than for him to touch a woman who is
not permissible for him."[1].
If our sinuses are unclogged we can begin to smell the fragarance of the Blessed month of Ramadaan that is approaching. Example of scraping off old paint through Taubah in order to prepare the heart to receive the fresh new paint of Rahmat coming in Ramadaan. Zikr and Dua.
These days people are turning Haraam into Halaal, e.g. alchohol, music and interest. For a layman to follow the fatwa of a reputable Mufti is Taqwa. Sins are like the glittering skin of the snake, run to Allah Ta'ala and dont get bitten
