Hadrat Moulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Dâmat Barakâtuhum)

Introduction

This lecture of Hadrat Moulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Dâmat Barakâtuhum) took place at the foot of Mount Uhud in Madinah Munawwarah on 2 Muharram 1408 A.H. (26 August 1987). This was a heart-rending discourse filled with Imân. There were several senior Ulama present whose eyes were filled with tears. This is an English translation of the original Urdu that was transcribed from an audio- cassette. May Allâh accept this bayân and make it beneficial for the ummah.

You have heard a hadith of Mishkât Sharîf. Allâh Ta’âla has granted a great favour and procedure to his sinful servants on the tongue of Rasulullâh Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam. Every person is indeed sinful. Mullâ Ali Qâri has explained that the word ‘khattâ‘ used in the hadith means ‘extremely sinful’. What is the cure for this? The cure is excessiveistighfâr and taubah (seeking forgiveness and repenting). The cure matches the illness. Thus Rasulullâh (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) said,

"Every human sins excessively and the best of sinners are the repentant ones." (Mishkât-al Masâbîh p.204.)

What are the conditions for taubah and when is it accepted. The Muhaddithîn [the authorities of hadith] have mentioned three conditions for it.

Sheikh Muhiuddîn Abû Zakarriya An-Nawawî has stated (Sharh Muslim lil Imâm An-Nawawi, vol.2 p. 346) that there are three conditions for seeking repentance:

(1) to stop committing the sin. Some people, while continuously staring at unveiled females, say "Lâ howlâ wa lâ quwwata, Moulana, just look at how unveiled these women are!" While they are reading ALâ howlâ", they are also admiring the women. Such a Lâ howlâ is itself sayingLâ howlâ. Such istighfâr is itself in need of seeking forgiveness. Thus repentance is only accepted once a person refrains from the sin.

(2) The second condition is that one should express remorse and regret on perpetrating the sin. The reality of remorse is to regret in the heart. The regret should resemble that of the Sahaba (RadiAllâhu anhum). When they realised that Allâh and His Rasûl (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) were displeased with them, then the entire world would become distressful for them and they would remain aloof from their souls. This is from among the rights of love. This should be the effect of displeasing the one who one loves excessively. If one commits a sin, nothing should feel good with the displeasure and wrath of Allâh. One’s children do not seem good. Food and drink do not taste good. One’s home also does not feel good. The whole world becomes straitened in his eyes. He becomes detached from his soul until he performs two rakats of salâtut taubah and repents with tearing eyes in order to please Allâh. To use the bounties of this world while perpetrating a sin or persisting on a sin is contrary to the position of a slave. There was a poet in Badâyu who loved his wife extremely. I present to you the poetry of a poet who describes the rights of love:

Choosing the right Way: Said Nursi

Ahlan 

Ahlan ya Ramadhan. Times to repent and ask Allah forgiveness, to recite the Quran as much as we can, to be better servants to Allah.

Allahuakbar. We have to thank Allah of HIS love, blessing and mercy towards us; the sinful servants. He gave everything despite what we have done. 

I really love to read Said Nursi book’s after Sister AlBazrah has introduced me to his biography, lifes and books. His books really string my heart, and his words really seem so lively and full of rational explanation and logical analogies of the existence of Allah. Indeed if we read his book we will fell like he talk to ourselves.

Here I will qoute some of his writing in " The Words". It is a chance to really know our real purpose of life and fell it truly deep down in our heart. Furthermore, on behalf of the  coming Ramadhan maybe we can learn something from his writing. I felt very closed by what he wrote in this book. The third word in:-

Di pinggir Ramadhan yang barakah

My young dearest Muslim, you have to learn to fasting also, right? But sureky you have to do it as a proces of learning. May Allah give the strength!

Kekasih kita datang lagi

Di sini dan di sana juga di merata-rata pelusuk dunia, semua manusia yang beriman pasti menanti kedatangan kekasih; Sharu As-Shiam dan segala yang penuh barakah terhimpun di dalamnya dengan penuh penantian dan kerinduaan.

Manusia yang beriman dengan Allah, pasti dikurniakan walau tidak sepicing rasa rindu pada Ramadhan. Walau artis hiburan apabila ditanya, mereka menjawab, kami akan berehat di dalam bulan Ramadhan kerana menghormatinya.

Inilah bulan yang akan kita lalui dengan izin Allah yang terhampar di dalamnya segala Rahmah dan cinta dari Allah.Andai selalu terasa cintaNya dan RahmahNya, di bulan Ramadhan digandakan lagi.

Setiap tahun juga, kita akan mendapat atau mendengar ucapan; Moga-moga Ramadhan kali ini lebih baik dari semalam. Di sana sini terdengar, namun bagaimana interpertasinya juga aplikasi hingga akrab di dalam qalb bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah. Kalau benar-benar ibadah kita ikhlas kerana Allah, dengannya akan terhimpun khusyu’ dan taat di dalam bulan ini dengan sendirinya. Natijahnya, perubahan perilaku dan pengorbanan nafsu dan istiqomah di dalam ibadah hingga melewati selain dari bulan Ramdhan.
