MUSLIMS DAILY ROUTINE TO ACHIEVE THE BEST OF THIS WORLD AND HEREAFTER

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

RAMADHAN MUBARAK

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO SHARE SOME THOUGHTS TO SPEND OUR VALUABLE TIME DURING THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADHAN, UNDER THIS UNPRECEDENTED CALAMITY SO AS TO ACHIEVE BEST IN THIS WORLD AND HREAFTER, INSHA ALLAH

THE PROGRAM SUGGESTS A SCHEDULE FOR A DAY TO ATTAIN THE GOAL

PLEASE REMEMBER THE UMMAH IN YOUR SUPPLICATION TO ALLAH AND REQUEST ALLAH TO GIVE US THE PATIENCE AND COURAGE TO FACE THE SITUATION AND ASK ALLAH TO RELIEVE THE CONDITION AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE

WORLD FORUM FOR SRI LANKAN MUSLIMS WISH EACH AND EVERYONE HAPPY RAMADAN, BEST OF HEALTH AND SAFE LIVING.

AS A COMFORTING THOUGHT I OFFER YOU THE FOLLOWING AHADITH RELEVANT TO THE PRESENT SITUATION:

 ‘Ā’ISHA, MOTHER OF THE BELIEVERS, SAID, I ASKED THE MESSENGER OF ALLĀH, ON WHOM BE PEACE, ABOUT PLAGUES AND HE SAID:

“THEY ARE A PUNISHMENT WHICH ALLĀH SENDS UPON WHOMSOEVER HE WILLS, BUT ALLĀH HAS MADE IT A MERCY TO THE BELIEVERS. ANYONE WHO REMAINS IN A TOWN WHICH IS PLAGUED WITH AN EPIDEMIC, REMAINING PATIENT AND ANTICIPATING ALLĀH’S REWARD, WHILE FIRMLY BELIEVING THAT NOTHING WILL BEFALL HIM OTHER THAN WHAT ALLĀH HAS PREORDAINED FOR HIM, THEN HE WILL RECEIVE A REWARD OF A MARTYR.” (SAHIH AL BUKHARI HADITH NO. 3474)

USĀMA B. ZAID SAID THE PROPHET. ON SHOM BE PEACE, SAID:

IF YOU HEAR OF A PLAGUE IN A LAND DO NOT ENTER IT; AND IF IT BREAKS OUT IN THE LAND WHERE YOU STAY, DO NOT LEAVE.” SAHIH BUKHARI 5728, MUSLIM 2218)

 ABŪ HURAIRA REPORTED THAT THE MESSENGER OF ALLĀH, ON WHOM BE PEACE, SAID:

“IT IS OBLIGATORY UPON YOU TO LISTEN TO AND OBEY THE AUTHORITIES DURING PROSPERITY AND ADVERSITY; WHETHER YOU ARE WILLING OR UNWILLING, EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS GIVEN UNDUE PRIVILEGES OVER YOU.” (SAHIH MUSLIM 1836)

ABŪ HURAIRA NARRATED THAT ALLĀH’S MESSENGER, ON WHOM BE PEACE SAID:

“DO NOT QUARANTINE THE HEALTHY WITH THE INFECTED.” (SAHIH BUKHARI 5771, MUSLIM 2221)

ABŪ HURAIRA NARRATED THAT ALLĀH’S MESSENGER, ON WHOM BE PEACE, SAID:

“THERE IS NO UNBIDDEN CONTAGION, NO EVIL OMEN, NO DEATH BIRD (HAMA), NO TAPE-WORM (SAFAR), AND ONE SHOULD KEEP AWAY FROM A LEPER AS ONE KEEPS AWAY FROM A LION.” (SAHIH BUKHARI 5707)

USĀMA B. SHARĪK NARRATED THAT THE PROPHET, ON WHOM BE PEACE, SAID:

“SERVANTS OF ALLĀH! MAKE USE OF MEDICAL TREATMENT, FOR ALLĀH HAS NOT MADE ANY DISEASE WITHOUT CREATING A CURE FOR IT.” (SAHIH IBN HIBAN 6061)
