REMOVING THE SAFETY NET

Transcription of a pertinent Informal Majlis by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (rahmatullah alayh)

Extract from the book:

“Some of the e-mails that we receive are such that you do not know whether to believe what you are reading ... the content is sometimes so shocking, so shocking.

...But is there anything shocking anymore?

However, the intelligent ones take lessons from the mistakes of others, the consequences they face, and the problems they are contending with; and the intelligent ones avoid making those same mistakes.

One mistake which many people 'incline' towards is trusting just anyone. Their trust is sometimes plain foolishness. Therefore we say: Don't trust just anybody and everybody today. ...Those pious, righteous ones who can be trusted are few and scarce.

People trust others – especially friends. They trust their friends so much, that they allow them free access into their homes; allow them to become comfortable with wife and children...”

"Brothers-in-law

Closer to home, we have the brothers-in-law, who are taken as family members. As a result – it’s free for all. It is as if a woman marries all her brothers-in-law. There is just no shame, no modesty, no purdah .

Then what are we ending up with ?

As a poet says :

“When we broke the rules of purdah,
Then the one who we thought was our child,
Turned out to be the brother’s child.”

The brother-in-law is perhaps the most dangerous individual to the security and safety of a marriage. This is why Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) said: “The brother-in-law is death.” …Because the brother-in-law has the freedom to come in and out of the house, and he is trusted..."

"The Extent Of Deterioration

One person related a dream to me. I said, as interpretation: “It seems as if movies are viewed in the Masjid.”

Within a few days, this interpretation was made evident. We had a visiting ‘Aalim giving a talk in the Masjid. I was sitting on a chair near the front , and from there, I observed some youngsters deeply occupied with their cell-phones. I requested one of the musallis to quietly go to the back and see what they were up to.

From behind them, he observed that they were watching dirty pictures on thei r cell-phone screens. …Allah Ta’ala forgive us. We do not even think of the gravity of engaging in sins in the House of Allah.”

Learning the Hard way

"One brother contacted me and said that he too had to learn the hard way. He did not think if he engaged in some Haraam secretly, it would be exposed – but said that he had to contend with such humiliation. …He too is outwardly deendaar.

He was spending the night at a hotel where the guests can hire films and view them in their rooms. He hired a porn movie and watched that.

The next morning, when checking out, he was told the cost of watching the porn movie and this was said to him, with the name of the film, loud and clear, in the presence of a group of Muslim visitors. Even though he tried to deny hiring the porn movie, reception was adamant that that was what was on record. He said, himself, that he was extremely, extremely humiliated, put to shame and disgrace – because those Muslim guests were standing close by, and had overheard the exchange. His actions were exposed.

Another brother – a Hafez - said that I should share his story and experience with people, so that they take lesson.

He had spent time with a prostitute. After leaving her, she had a heart attack and died. The police got involved, considering it a possible murder. In their investigation, they went through her client listing and her phone, and they picked up that he was her last “client” and arrested him. After this, there was just shame and disgrace. He said himself, it was unreal – the kind of harassment, suffering and the pressure he was under. Finally, after a long-drawn process, he was cleared and not considered a suspect in the cause of death. Her death was taken to be a natural death and not a criminal offence.

Allah Ta’ala saved him, but in the sight of Allah Ta’ala it was a criminal offence.

Where would this person have thought that just after committing this sin, this would have happened?

He was fortunate that he was not the one to have had the heart attack and die in that condition. Otherwise, so many Muslims have already died in prostitute quarters and massage parlours.

As is commonly stated: “You will be raised how you died, and you will die how you lived.”

The idea is to take lesson. This is not a platform for sensational news. It is to take lesson and stay clear from such vices. Otherwise the person is summoning the punishment of Allah Ta’ala, and he is, as if, asking for humiliation and disgrace. In fact, many a time he is buying it with his own money.

An intelligent person takes lesson. … So take lesson. When someone says that fire burns and shows you third degree burns and scars, then it would be the height of stupidity to say : “I too want to experience the burning sensation of fire. I too want to suffer as you have.”

So don’t wait to get burnt. Listen to the stories of those who have burnt their lives and who have burnt their hearts. The intelligent person takes lessons from the mistakes of others. The fool wants to experience the same burn.

Allah Ta’ala says in the Quran Shareef :
“ONLY THOSE WHO POSSESS INTELLIGENCE WILL TAKE HEED.”
[Surah Zumar 39: 9]"

Read the complete book about 2 weeks back, its a brilliant brilliant read, its the first time I have read 104 pages on a computer screen Maulana has been very articulate he even mentions how youngsters delete internet search history !!! This book is extremely relevant for the present times, and it can scare the HELL out of adults... its a MUST READ ! There are some passages I think starting from page 80 that I request esp. the mods to read.

And to think Maulana is no more with us is...just so shattering
May Allah SWT grant him Jannat Ul Firdaus, summa aameen, he truly had great concern for the well being of the ummah.
