Hadith - Angels of Mercy in Homes

Hadith - Dua Is The Weapon

Pious & Virtuous On The Last Day

Once a person asked Sayyiduna Imam Zainul Aabideen Radi Allahu Anhu about who will be regarded as pious and virtuous on the last day, and he said;

A person whose happiness when he is happy (i.e. rejoicing) does not drive him towards wrong (i.e. sin), and a person whose anger when he is angry, does not divert him from that which is right.

In other words, when you are happy, you should not let your happiness take you towards sins, and when you are angry, you should not allow your anger to blind you from that which is right.

Devices or Vices of Destruction?

There is a discussion that many of us shy away from, either due to guilt or due to heedlessness, but I think it has to be addressed. 

Off late we have seen that many people, both young and old have become addicted to computer and mobile games, and many of them even neglect their Salaahs and other Deeni and Family duties due to this. Some are so engrossed in it that they cannot hear the Azaan or even the calls of their parents. 

It is also seen that this is becoming one of the leading causes to breakdowns in marriages and family life. Almost all of us are affected by this in some way or the other.

Our children are so addicted and lost in these games that they have lost their bearings. Many children are later found suffering from depression and other harmful effects due to this.

I have a friend who is an Optician and he said to me that they have not seen as many children with vision problems as they are seeing now, due to these games and other uses of the phones and tabs by children. 

Studies have shown that 9 out of 15 children have absence seizures while playing mobile games. Many children later suffer from epilepsy and there are more children becoming epileptic now than ever before.

Studies have shown children having serious behavioral issues and violent streaks due to violent mobile games which they play. Many of these games have been said to have abusive language and sexual content. Parents claim to have it under control, but let's be honest. There is no control. What are 7,8,9 or ten year olds, and at times younger ones, doing with their own cell phone? 

When we are unable to control this, we go the Ulama asking for Ta'weez and saying Maulana I think my child is affected by something or possessed. Indeed your child is affected and possessed. He or she is affected by a game addiction, and both possessed and obsessed by this evil. 

Sadly this is also the case with adults as well today. Some spend more time playing games than their children. What respect will your child have for you. Some proudly say, I am a Gamer. How proud will you be of this baseless credential, when Munkar and Nakeer come to you in your grave, tearing through the earth with their massive teeth?

Stop using these games as a means to keep your child occupied, so they do not stress you out. Its time to wake up from this slumber before it's too late.

Those who do this should realise the following:

1. This is a vice which the kuffaar have invented to distract people from their lives, and moreso it distracts a Muslim from his or her duties towards Almighty Allah.

2. The amount of money and time wasted in this can never be regained, and you will be held accountable for it in the hereafter.

3. How much of time do you spend in Ibaadat, Tilaawat and Durood Shareef in your day, and how many Qaza Salaahs are you liable for? 

4. Are we willing to waste the valuable time which Allah has given us as an Amaanah, knowing well that we will be held accountable in the hereafter?

5. Is this what we want for our children? Why are we destroying our children's lives by throwing them into harms way?

I want to end this brief message with a question which was posed to Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah Radi Allahu Anhu, and the subsequent response of The Great Imam and Qutb ul Aqtaab of this Era.

The Question

What is the ruling about playing carom board, snooker, chess, and cards, without setting any conditions or without the intention of gambling? Is the ruling regarding playing games on the phone and computer games also the same?

The Verdict

This is futile entertainment and games and according to the Shari'at it is impermissible and Haraam i.e. forbidden, even if it is played without any conditions. If it is played with conditions, then this is impermissible and Haraam upon Haraam, and categorically Haraam, because it then falls in the category of gambling, and if it is without this then it is still not permitted and the same ruling is regarding playing games on the phone etc. 

After sharing the above verdict of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah Radi Allahu Anhu, I must say once again; Listen to what the Pious Servants of Almighty have advised. They know well why they have given these rulings. 

Can you imagine a person who has Qaza Salaah of years on his head asking if it is permissible to play video games? Where is the logic! 

I pray that we all realise what we are doing and sincerely repent and rectify our lives before the Angel of Death visits us.

I end this discussion with Sayyidi Aala Hazrat's words:

Shab Subh Tuk Sona Tujhe 

Din Lahw Me Khona Tujhe

Sharm e Nabi, Khawf e Khuda,

Ye Bhi Nahi, Wo Bhi Nahi

Until Late Morning You Sleep Without Commitment,

Your Entire Day is Wasted in Fun & Entertainment,

Before The Nabi Neither Do You Have Any Shame or Atonement,

Nor In The Court of Allah, Have You Any Fear of His Judgement

MASLAK E AALA HAZRAT - ZINDA BAAD!

Ye saañs paheli kuch bhi nahiñ

Meri zaat akeli kuch bhi nahiñ

یہ سانس پہیلی ، کچھ بھی نہیں

میری ذات اکیلی، کچھ بھی نہیں

مجھے اپنے عشق میں ضم کرنا

اے میرے کریم کرم کرنا

تیری خوشبو میری چادر

تیرے تیور میرا زیور

تیرا شیوا میرا مسلک

وَرَفَعْنَالَکَ ذِکْرَکْ

تیری مدحت میری بولی

تو خزانہ میں ہوں جھولی

تیرا سایہ میری کایہ

تیرا جھونکہ میری ڈولی

تیرا رستہ میرا ہادی

تیری یادیں میری وادی

تیرے ذرے میرے دیپک

وَرَفَعْنَالَکَ ذِکْرَکْ

میری منزل تیری آہٹ

میرا سدرہ تیری چوکھٹ

تیری گاگر میرا ساگر

تیرا صحرا میرا پنگھٹ

میں ازل سے ترا پیاسا

نہ ہو خالی میرا کاسہ

تیرے واری ترا بالک

وَرَفَعْنَالَکَ ذِکْرَکْ

تیرے دم سے دلِ بینا

کبھی فاراں، کبھی سینا

نہ ہو کیوں پھر تیری خاطر

میرا مرنا میرا جینا

یہ زمیں بھی ہو فلک سی

نظر آئے جو دھنک سی

تیرے در سے میری جاں تک

وَرَفَعْنَالَکَ ذِکْرَکْ

اے رسولِ امین، خاتم المرسلین

تجھ سا کوئی نہیں، تجھ سا کوئی نہیں

ہے عقیدہ یہ اپنا بصدق و یقین

تجھ سا کوئی نہیں، تجھ سا کوئی نہیں

میں ہوں قطرہ تو سمندر

میری دنیا تیرے اندر

سگِ داتا میرا ناطا

نہ ولی ہوں نہ قلندر

تیرے سائے میں کھڑے ہیں

میرے جیسے تو بڑے ہیں

کوئی تجھ سا نہیں بے شک

وَرَفَعْنَالَکَ ذِکْرَکْ

میں ادھورا، تو مکمل

میں شکستہ، تو مسلسل

میں سخنور، تو پیمبر

میرا مکتب، ترا ایک پل

تیری جنبش، میرا خامہ

تیرا نقطہ، میرا نامہ

کیا تُو نے مجھے زیرک

وَرَفَعنا لَکَ ذِکرَک

محشر کا جب ہنگامہ ہو

نعتوں کا سر پہ عمامہ ہو

دیکھیں جو خدا اعمال میرے

ہر اک سے جدا میرا نامہ ہو

تیرے ذکر کی مہریں ہو لب پر

میری جتنی سانسیں ہو سب پر

تیرے ذکر کی مہریں ہو لب پر

میری جتنی سانسیں ہو سب پر

بس اپنا نام رقم کرنا

اے میرے کریم ، کرم کرنا

یا رسول اللہ

میری سوچیں ہیں سوالی

میرا لہجہ ہو بلالی

شبِ تیرا کرے خِیرا

میرے دن بھی ہوں مثالی

تیرا مظہر ہو میرا فن

رہے اُجلا میرا دامن

نہ ہو مجھ میں کوئی کالک

وَرَفَعْنَالَکَ ذِکْرَکْ

یا رسول اللہ
