Hadith 122

, and its adornments and its bounties to a reversion, and its harms and its hardship are to a depletion, and all terms from it are to an end-point, and all live in it is to decay. And isn’t there a lesson for you all and insight in impacts of the former ones and in your past forefathers, if you use your intellect? And are you not looking at the dead that they are not returning and to the replacements from you that they will not be living eternally? Allah-azwj Said, and His-azwj Words are truthful: And it is Prohibited upon a town which We Destroyed, that they will not be returning [21: 95]; and Said: Every self shall taste the death, and rather you will be paid fully your Recompense on the Day of Judgement; so the one who is removed far away from the Fire and enters the Paradise he indeed has succeeded; and what is the life of the world except for a deceptive pleasure? [3: 185]. And aren’t you looking at people of the world and they are coming to a morning upon various situations – from a dead being cried upon, and an afflicted being consoled, and an injured squirming (in pain), and another receiving glad tidings and being congratulated, and a returning one is returning, and another is finding his (last) breath, and a seeker of the world and the death is seeking him, and a heedless one not being heedless from, and being upon the tracks of the past ones is what the remaining ones are continuing. And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, and Lord-azwj of the seven skies, and Lord‑azwj of the seven earths, and Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne Who will remain alive while whatever is besides Him-azwj will perish, and to Him-azwj is destination of the creatures, and return of the matters, and He-azwj is most Merciful of the merciful ones. This day (Friday), Allah-azwj has Made it an Eid for you all, and it is chief of your days, and most superior of your Eid(s), and Allah-azwj has Commanded you in His-azwj Book with the striving regarding it to His-azwj Zikr. Therefore, magnify your desires during it, and purify your intentions, and during it frequent from the beseeching to Allah-azwj and the supplicating, and asking for the Mercy and the Forgiveness, for Allah-azwj will Respond to every Momin of his supplication, and every one too arrogant from worshipping Him-azwj will arrive to the Fire. And Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you. Surely those who are too arrogant from worshipping Me would be entering Hell disgraced [40: 60]; and know that during it there is a Blessed hour, a Momin servant will not ask Allah-azwj during it for (anything) good, except Allah-azwj will Give it to him. And the Friday (Salat) is obligatory upon every Momin except the young, and the woman, and the slave, and the sick. May Allah-azwj Forgive for us and for you all our past sins, and Protect us and you from indulging in the sins for the remainder of our lifespans. Surely the most excellent Hadeeth and furthest preaching is the Book of Allah-azwj, the Honourable. I-asws seek Refuge with Allah-azwj the Hearing, the Knowing, from the Pelted Satan‑la. Surely Allah-azwj, He-azwj is the Hearing, the Knowing’. And he-asws used to recite Surah Al-Tawheed, or Surah Al-Kafiroun, or Surah Al-Takasur, or Surah Al-Asr, and it was from what he-asws was constantly upon was Surah Al-Tawheed. Then he-asws would be seated for a while, then arose saying: –
‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj! We praise Him-azwj and seek His-azwj Assistance, and believe in Him‑azwj, and rely upon Him-azwj, and we testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and His‑azwj Greeting, and His-azwj Forgiveness, and His-azwj Satisfaction. O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww Your-azwj servant, and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and Your-azwj Elite, a complete Salawaat, Blissful, Pure, Raising his‑saww rank by it, a
