With good intentions, I am taking this opportunity to earn myself the privilege of protecting Muslims from
personal conflict, helping put a stop to upcoming problems due to severe criticism amongst
brothers despite reconciling time after time and to prevent any damage to major religious activities as a consequence of these quarrels, to earn the pleasure of Allah and reward for the afterlife. If you brothers take in mind my Madani requests, study this letter every month for at least 12 months or get all responsible brothers together and read it out to them. In’shaa-Allah you will all succeed in perfuming Islamic society as fragrant flowers of Attar’s garden forever. However, if my suggestions are ignored and instead of rectifying those who are wrong according to the movement’s policies, (In cases of conflict, Dawat-e-Islami requires that first an attempt has to be made to rectify the responsible individual on a personal level. If this does not solve the problem, you should approach your local, divisional, city, provisional and then national Nigraan in the mentioned sequence within the boundaries of Shariah. If the problem still remains, considering you live outside of Pakistan, you should seek assistance from the member of the International Affairs Department (Majlis-e-Bain-ul-Aqwaami Umoor) in Pakistan who deals with your particular country. If the problem still remains, you should approach the Central Consultation Board (Markazi Majlis-e-Shura) in Pakistan who will make the final decision which must be accepted by every Islamic brother, unless there is a valid Islamic reason not to do so. No member of any Majlis of Dawat-e-Islami is beyond the boundaries of Shariah; every Muslim must abide by the rules of Shariah.) you spread things amongst yourselves without a proper reason and you continue to fight and argue amongst yourselves then you will, Allah forbid, continue to make yourself worthy of Hell due to hatred, backbiting, spreading rumours, heartbreaking, exposing faults, suspicions and other causes of disaster. I hope this bayan, that has been compiled with the aid of the blessings of the Holy Qur’an and the blessed sayings of the Messenger of Allah by my sinful self, will affect your hearts and minds and result in reconciliation. In’shaa-Allah my requests will not go to waste. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an, Sura Dhariyaat, verse 55,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: And advise, for advice benefits the Muslims.
Dear Islamic Brothers! Remember! The accursed Satan causes
conflicts amongst Muslims, makes them fight and kill each other and prevents them from reconciliation. What often happens is that if a concerned Islamic brother intervenes and makes things better, Satan will implant suspicions and make things worse again. Warning us against the attempts of the wretched Satan, Allah says in the 53rd verse of Sura Bani Israeel,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: Undoubtedly Satan sows discord among them.
In the 91st verse of Sura Ma’ida, we are warned:
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: The devil only seeks to instil hatred and enmity between you.
Muslims should make sure that this mischief making and disastrous attempt of Satan goes to waste. Indeed, there are many dangers in the world and in the afterlife caused by personal conflicts. A person who loses his temper very quickly often causes mischief. People with short tempers should be warned on losing control of himself for the sake of ego and disobeying the commands of Allah as it could throw him into the deep ditches of Hell. Have a look at the punishment for anger and make efforts to save yourself from the torment of Hell.
The Beloved Prophet of Allah said, "There is a door in Hell through which those angry people will enter who only calm down after committing a sin".
(It’tihafus saadatul muttaqeen, V9, P318
Sayyiduna ibn Abbas (may Allay blessed him with his special blessings) narrates that the Blessed Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM) said, "There are three people whose prayers do not rise a single hand span above their heads:
(1) An Imaam who people despise,
(2) The woman that spends the night with her husband annoyed at her and
(3) Two brothers who have fallen out with each other (without a valid reason)."
(Sunan Ibn-e-Maja, V1, P516, Hadith 971)
Who is a good islamic brother?
Did you see? How great an act creating peace amongst Islamic brothers is. Then how good must that Islamic brother be who shows compassion to those who are younger than him, respects those who are older than him and loves those who are the same age as him and wishes good and benefit for all Islamic brothers and always tries to put a stop to evil and mischief amongst Muslims through his kind behavior and polite attitude.
Reconciliation!
We (22 Islamic Brothers) have read/understood the letter (by Ameer-e-AhleSunnat). We admit our carelessness, we have a burden of regret upon our heads and we repent to Allah We have forgiven each other for the sake of Allah From now on, none of us will criticise anyone for any past mistake nor will we tease him or tell others about him. In’shaa-Allah we will participate in Madani tasks together. In the future, if any of us does become aware of the mistake of another, we will attempt to rectify his mistake directly without mentioning it to anyone else. If this fails, we will try to solve the problem according to the movement’s policies.
