Mobile light...

It is true that one must get Tawfeeq from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala to be able to do good. Those who live in the obedience of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, have got this Tawfeeq and those whose hearts are not being guided to this direction, must at least not be satisfied with their present condition. They must always make Dua in order for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala to grant them Tawfeeq. Yesterday, those who were negligent in Deen, and were in a pitiful condition, are getting the opportunity to engage in the Zikr of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala morning and evening and to move from Masjid to Masjid. It is really a Tawfeeq from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala that they have got through this work called the work of Da'wah. This work of Da'wah which is being carried out by a group of people whom Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala has chosen to sacrifice their body and soul merely to develop Imaan in them and bring Deen in their lives. This group is called Tabligh Jamaat nowadays. In reality, it is a mobile light that is circulating in every nook and corner of the world.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala used this work as a means to transform the lives of millions of people on earth. Those who are spending their time playing cards, gambling in the casino, drinking in taverns, etc., have got the opportunity today to cry in front of their Rabb in Sajdah in the middle of the night. If we want to see the example of a 180 degree turn, we will see it in the lives of those whose lives have changed and transformed through this work.

... and the mobile deviator

However, Shaitan can never see people changing their lives. He can never see people practicing Deen. He will never be satisfied with those who were not performing any Salah yesterday, and today they are also performing the Salah of Tahajjud, the Salah of Chaaste and the Salah of Awawabeen. Nevertheless, there are those who can be called the mobile deviators who are becoming the accomplices of Shaitan. Yesterday, they did not have time to preach to those who were not performing Salah, but today when this person has started performing Salah, they trouble him by saying that his Salah is not good. And yet, he is performing Salah according to the way that has been practiced from generation to generation until today. They make excuses that many things in Fazaa'il-e-A'maal are not correct. And yet, these things are also found in the book of Sheikh-ul-Islam Allaamah Ibn Taimiyyah (Rahmatullahi alayh). Despite this, for unknown reasons, they will never dare to say that Allaamah Ibn Taimiyyah (Rahmatullahi alayh) has spread falsehood. This is an accusation that they will never hesitate to put on Tableegh Jamaat. We understand that their difficulties and their problems prevent them from speaking the truth, because they also need something to earn a living. In telling the truth, perhaps they will stop leading their life as they used to live/earn at present. As some people say, ‘their rice plant can become dry’. Allah knows what is true and what is false!
