Failure of Prayer |

Jihad- that means all types of effort including the armed battle, for which the nation Ummat-e-Mohammadi would have been created, which is the real Sunnah (working procedure) of the Messenger of Allah (SM), denying which any remains no more Ummat-e-Mohammadi, the inevitable result of rejecting that very jihad is the distortion of akidah (comprehensive concept on Islam). If akidah is distorted, even Iman (belief) becomes valueless. Assuredly it is difficult to decide have jihad been passed up due to perverted akidah or perverted akidah passed up jihad. But the historical truth is, after Mohammad (SM), the heart and soul effort i.e. jihad has been continued for 60 to70 years, then Umaiya Khalifah, though named as khalifah, rejected jihad and started to reign with pump and show like other kings of the world. It is history which have discussed earlier to some extent that what was the inevitable result of giving up the ideology for establishing which the best and last Messenger of Allah (SM) has been sent to the earth, he (the Messenger of Allah) with his companions suffered inhuman persecution, the companions have fought beside the leader sacrificing their everything, be winded, died. I would like to mention it again though it will be repeated. Because it bears so importance and gravity that it is impossible to discuss it enough. Some horrible output of leaving uncompromised effort (jihad) to establish peace (Islam), not to - apply and activate the last Deen (Code of life) in the whole world, demolishing all types of discrimination, combining the whole mankind as a single great nation, throwing down all warfare and bloodshed, uprooting all sorts of injustice and iniquities, in short the results of deviation from the goal are:
- Akidah which is more important than Iman (belief) has perverted.
- Starts sever over analysis i.e. overplaying of the constitution of Deen: Qur’an and hadis with great pomp that was strictly prohibited by Allah and His Messenger. As a result the perverted nation has not only been disabled dividing into various sects but also been lifeless due sanguinary conflict among the sects.
- Besides, the entrance of imbalanced Sufism has inversed the extrovert view and character of this divided lifeless nation into introvert. After that, the nation that was the panic for all the wrong doer, torturer, oppressor, tyrant, unfair judge and system, was pioneer of revelation of different discipline of knowledge and science, enriched the mankind with different invention has concluded into a uneducated, ignored populace, almost equal to the level beast and sequentially became the slave of different Christian nation of Europe.
Though they got nominal liberty after the hated slavery of hundreds of years, actually they still idealistically and mentally are slave; perhaps are in greater degree than that of slavery period. The only doings of this powerless, unable and failure nation is to pray to Allah. The religious leaders, theologians now turn it as an art. They start begging to Allah according to lengthy cartulary for a long time such that Allah has already remained seated to do according to their prayer. Sometimes they invite for special praying and singing hymns (invoke blessing/grace of Allah) where they implore to Allah for so long time that the hand of mass people become painful. A few days ago I had been heard a weeping demand of a religious leader after sermon through loudspeaker. He demanded to Allah step by step according to listed subjects. Most of the subjects are on the matters of tasauf (Sufism), but one demand was to back the Bait-ul-Mokkadas to the Muslims destroying the country Israel and one was the unity of all of the Muslim worlds as well. I have lost my patient after counting 36 categories of demand. But even then it takes so many times that perhaps it could cross at least 100 types of demands. That means, Allah do those 100 types of works yourself for us. Due to the ignorance and perverted akidah they has forgotten that if anybody supplicates to Allah on any subject without trying his best, Allah never allows him, such type of appeal does not reach to Allah. The greatest Messenger and bosom friend of Allah Mohammad (SM) has tolerated unbounded diligence to fulfill the bestowed duty on him by Allah for which he sent on earth; he has to face obloquy, satire, persecution, stress of beyond description, has to fight, and has to be wounded to make his responsibility completed. Does he not can only pray to Allah to make his duty in success like our religious leaders? To Allah whose pray is more acceptable, of world Messenger, or of the theologians? If only pray does work then why the Messenger of Allah, whose pray is the most worthy of acceptance, does not only pray in his whole life instead of tireless effort (Jihad)? He doesn’t do it. Because he knows very well that, there is no value of only pray to Allah without any effort (Jihad). It is not that, he never prays to Allah. He prays, but in proper time, i.e. after final effort, all types of sacrifice and even after laying down life when there remain no sorts of efforts left. Just before starting the battle of Badr (the first big battle of Islam) when all mojaheds (he who performs jihad) stand in row being ready to sacrifice their life for Allah and His Messenger, only then the Messenger, the friend of Allah appeal for help. What was in behind that appeal? In behind that appeal, pray to Allah there was the tireless pursuit of 14 years, unlimited sacrifice, expatriation, blood of holy body and many more. And these were not only of the Messenger himself. Those 313 mojaheds who stands in battle row like salah (praying) for sacrificing their life in behind each and every of them were also their tireless effort, unhesitating sacrifice, tolerance of ruthless torture. Standing on the deadline of all efforts, being ready to sacrifice the last resource, life, the Messenger (SM) appeals to Allah. Allah accepts and allows such appeal, as accepts in Badr. But only the hour wide lengthy entreaties without any effort, a little extent of struggle, Allah never permits. After that appeal of Badr, the mojaheds has flung to jihad, many has give up their life, but our religious leaders go to take pilau and sweet-tasting meat or fish curry after imploring to Allah. Both the appeals or prayers have a distance of heaven and earth i.e. difference in a large extent possible.
Allah said,- “And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad)” (Qur’an, Sura: An-najam: 39). The demands that have been made in the mosque, bulky sermons, large religious assemblies, in which one demand always remains to retrieve the mosque: Al-Aksa; those who belongs to that solemnity and goes to take part in banquet, who shouts with ameen, ameen and goes back to their respective business, job and personal work, nobody then keep in mind about the mosque. That types of pray bears danger. Besides making pain in hand, there have a massive risk on such types of demanding pray. Because such types of pray is flout to Allah. It is safer not to pray to Allah rather than such types pray. If a student does not study, appears in examination, but exploit the principal and demand to give him a degree with taking part in examination then it will be similar to flout with the principal. Our prayer artists prays in the large religious assemblies, in religious sermons, -‘O Allah! Please retrieve the Bait-ul-mokaddas from the Jews and they continue this appeal till the born of Israel, more than 40 years. The number of peoples pray then were more less than that of today, I can remember the time then, the area of the state Israel was also little than now as well. Jerusalem and Al-aksa mosque was not included in Israel. The more they perform effortless and workless, mass volume prayer for long time, the more the Arabians has been trashed by the Israelis and the area of the state Israel increased as well. At present I have listened, millions of people gather in several places to pray for the unity and prosperity of the Muslim nation including the release of their first kebla Bait-ul-mokaddas as well. But today the area of Israel is three times higher than that of past, also total Jerusalem city including Bait-ul-Mokaddas and Al-Alsa mosque gone in the possession of Israel. The condition of the unity of the Muslims has downfallen more, and now has been beaten more insultingly by the Christians, Jews, Buddhist, and Hindus as well. That means, in a word we can say, the result what they pray in the large sermon, solemnity, mosque and conference, Allah accepts totally opposite things. The more they pray, more people participate, more time consume, the more the reverse result outs. The most laughing stock happens when they come to the sentence ‘Fansurna ala kaomel kaferine’ praying conventionally. The meaning of this Arabic line is “(O Allah) Help us against (to fight/ struggle) the unbelievers (kafers)”. What a jock with Allah! There haven’t even a bit struggle against the unbeliever, the effort to establish the Din, the tendency to help those who have fought against the kafer, mosrek in few places of the world, let alone to participate with them; not only this, they haven’t any effort against the Code of life by the Christian that they have adapted in their national life and submerged themselves in sherk and kufr from top to bottom but pray to Allah for being success against the kafer, What could be more funny than that? It is not only a laughing stock but also flouting with Allah. If it is not then why the result of their pray come reverse? Those who makes praying as an art, pray a workless, effortless, without performance, without sacrifice, and without struggle prayer, they due to their ignorance are unable to understand that with these pray they flared up the anger of Allah and consequently the result comes reverse. For this why, I mentioned it is safer not to pray such prayer rather than praying.
The main thing to focus is, actually Allah is the almighty, and there have nothing that He can’t do. But He wishes to see what do we do? Those who has studied the holy life of the greatest Messenger of Allah (SM) for at least onetime he would has known that what sort of unbounded misery, tireless toil, cruel persecution the Messenger has to tolerate in his whole life to fulfill the duty for which he has been sent on earth by Allah. It could guess a little bit from the speech of the Messenger of Allah (SM) that what extent of misery he has tolerated in his whole life? He has said those of his ummah (nation) to keep brave and solace remembering the indefinable sorrow, misery, and danger he (the Messenger of Allah) has tolerated in his whole life who will laden with too much misery, intolerable sorrow in their life. Will we be exempted only with pray where the great and bosom friend of Allah, Messenger (SM) has to pass his whole life with struggle and misery? Will Allah allow our list wise prayer? Allah has said- “And had Allah willed, He could have gathered them together (all) unto true guidance” (Qur’an, Sura: Al-Anam: 35). He hasn’t said it for one time. Addressing the Messenger Allah has said, - “And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together.” (Qur’an, Sura- Yunus: 99). Allah doesn’t wish it but give the responsibility to His Messenger and his ummah (followers). The reason why, He wish to see who does try, struggle, and sacrifice to fulfill that job by Allah. The reward and punishment will be fixed on the extent of performance on that job in the dooms day. In case of the fight/conflict of the believers against the unbelievers Allah has said, - “… but if it had been Allah’s Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others.” (Qur’an, Sura- Al-Mohammad: 4). Just following two ayahs Allah said, - “O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you,” (Qur’an, Sura- Al-Mohammad: 7). What sort of help is possible for such a infinitesimal creation like us for the almighty Allah? Does He need of our help? Then why He asks us for help? The meaning it bears is, Allah wishes to see who has helped Him in the challenge that Iblis threw to make the mankind denied the code of life by Him and push them into injustice, inequity, unrest, war, conflict and bloodshed on earth. That is to examine who struggles in favor of Allah and His messenger and who doesn’t or goes to opposite team. If Allah brings the mankind in the true path with His command and defeats Iblis then what is the fruition of that challenge? (or the challenge bears no meaning). For this why Allah doesn’t do it in spite of being almighty. He will just observe whether we help Him against the challenge of Iblis or not. If we struggle with our life and wealth then we are helping Allah and if we just pray to Allah rejecting struggle then we have been included in the team of Iblis. That is cause why He asks to help Him against Iblis though He is above of all help, Beneaj (not dependent to anybody).
