Some of the main topics
discussed in this Bayan (lecture) by Maulana Saad in Chicago Ijtema 2000
All the things which are taking place are not
because of the means of this world, but because of order of Allah
Jallelaalahu.
All the conditions are dependent on the Aamaal of
the human being.
The outcome of Aamaal depends on the quality of
Imaan (Belief). Aamaal gets corrected through Imaan (Beliefs), and
not through Asbaab (Means).
Many previous nations got failed because of their
belief on Asbaabs (Means).
Prophets came to correct the beliefs and Aamaal.
The summary of Kalimah is to purify the heart from
ghair.
People seeks greatness in the Asbaab (Means), and
Allah shows His greatness more without the Asbaabs (Means) than with
the means which are present.
All are getting from the treasures of Allah (swt). A
person who seeks Aakhirat gets in both world, whereas a person who
seeks only in this world loose everything in Aakhirat.
Without firm belief it is difficult to do any good
Amal. Imaan develops the desire to please Allah Jallelaalahu.
All the darkness and misdeed of this world is
because of Beliefs in the Asbaab.
Difficulties in doing Aamaal is only because of
wrong Beliefs.
Today, stories of Sahabas has become as if those
actions were possible only by sahabas and is not possible by today's
Muslims.
Aamaal correct all the conditions in both the world.
It is wrong to think that Aamaal is only for Aakhirat and Asbaab
(means) are for this worldly life.
Allah (swt) says, by Imaan and Aamaal-e-saleha, the
first benefit will be rewards in this world and than the reward in
Aakhirat.
Imaan brings peace, which in turn encourage to do
Aamaal. Asbaab (Means) without Imaan bring worries and distrust in
this world.
The Kalimah with Iqlaas will prevent a Muslim from
Haram. Kalimah recited with Iqlaas will make a Muslim to enter
Jannath.
Sahaba Ikraam are examples for us in both Imaan and
Aamaal. With the beliefs in Asbaabs, all the misdeeds of Asbaab
comes into existence.
Dawat brings Imaan, and Imaan develops Aamaal. Allah
gets pleased by correct Aamaal and in return all the conditions will
be corrected.
The complete Deen can be learned by seeing people
following complete Deen. Seeing people following partial Deen will
bring the belief of partial Deen, which is wrong.
We have to compare with Prophet Mohammad
(Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam)
Aamaal, than we can know the amount of deficiency in our Aamaal.
Difficulty to follow total deen has two main
reasons, one is Yaqeen (Beliefs) in Asbaab and second is the
surrounding environment. Effort of Dawat removes all the
difficulties of Environment (Society), and in return will make it
easy to do Aamaal.
Two main reasons of Dawat are to Correct beliefs
regarding Imaan and Asbaab. By Aamaal, Imaam increase only when one
negate the Beliefs of Asbaab.
Sahabas use to call each other to discuss about
Imaan.
Weakness in Imaan will divert a person toward
beliefs in Ghair.
The purpose of giving Dawat is to prepare people for
the cause of Dawat. The most common practice in sahabas life, was
the practice of Dawat.
Prophet Mohammad
(Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) has been sent towards all
humans and Jinns.
Prophet Mohammad
(Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) taught Sahabas about Deen and
also efforts of Deen. The responsibilities of Nabuwat (Prophethood)
has been transferred to the Ummat.
The things we want to build in ourselves, we have to
keep on telling those things to others.
To REVIVE the effort of Dawat is the GIST for the
correction of all human beings.
Human beings are mines and treasures of Qualities
and excellence. By the effort of Dawat we have to change all these
treasures and excellence towards the real purpose of life.
