Read the Special Discourse Below:
My dear daughters,
Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh.
It is my pleasure to address you few words
today for your Special Jalsa Salana Siraj Makin Programme for this year 2023,
marking also the 23rd year of the Divine Manifestation of this era
and thirteen years since the establishment of the Kerala Jamaat.
Allah says in the Holy Quran: “Who speaks better than one who calls to Allah, does good works and says, ‘I am surely one of the Muslims.’?” (Quran, 41: 34)
It is to be reminded that calling people to
Allah is not only the prerogative of the men but includes the women as well. In
a time when the rights of the Muslim women are being yet questioned by the
non-Muslims, it is our duty as Muslim women blessed as witnesses of the Divine
Manifestation in this era to carry the Message of Islam, the Sahih al Islam to
the end of the worlds.
With advanced technology, the door of Dawa
has been rendered much easier than before. I beseech you all to give precedence
to the work of Dawa. Dawat-i-Allah gives a person another kind of spiritual
glow, making him or her appears more beautiful in the eyes of Allah. That
person becomes like an infant who gets a well-deserved hug from his parents,
but here the One to give comfort and blessing is none but Allah.
The Khalifatullah has made several sermons and
speeches on this very important subject. You can say that Dawat-i-Allah is the
lifeblood of Islam, of the pure religion of Allah, of truth. Calling people to
Allah is a most blessed work deserving of greater rewards from Allah, and I
want you my daughters of the Kerala Jamaat, and at international level also to
be very keen on implementing this very essential aspect of your Deen. Alhamdulillah,
you have been well been spiritually educated throughout those golden years and
like birds of peace, it is time for you to show your true mettle. Let the
diamond in you shine. Preach to others the beautiful Deen of Allah;
invite to Allah. Show the people [in Pardah] – whether men and women how
beautiful Islam is, how Unique and Beautiful Allah is. Show the path of
rectitude to others, and follow that blessed path yourselves. Be conscious of
your greater role as guides in this century. You are like stars in the darkness
of the night. When you shine, let it be for the sake of Allah. Be courageous,
and try to preach at your level. Insha-Allah, Allah will bless your efforts.
Try to spread the good news of the unity of God [Allah] and you will see a
change in yourselves and in the people you are preaching to.
It is true that many may reject the divine
message and may even insult you, but never despair. Your hard works will pay
off. Be true and sincere to the Divine Manifestation of this era; be true to
Allah and His Khalifatullah. Never say that “I am weak, I cannot do Dawa”.
No! The basic duty of a Muslim is spreading the Deen of Allah to others.
It is like a candle lighting other candles. And it is this that makes all the
difference when in the dark, each light which has been lit becomes guidance for
one and all.
You should remember always that Dawa is not
easy, but when attempted, it is Allah Who either opens or shuts the hearts of
people. Those whose hearts are deserving of guidance will find their hearts
illuminated whereas those undeserving of divine guidance, who let their lives
fall apart in the worldly pleasures and forget Allah, will find their hearts
hardened and darkened and no good will come out of their hearts.
So, I humbly advise you as your Spiritual
Mother and Sadr International of the Siraj Makin to keep on striving for the
Cause of Allah. Be a model of virtue, inwardly and outwardly, secretly and
openly so as to reap the blessings of Allah. Never do Dawa or a good deed for
show [ostentation]. All good that you do, do it for Allah only. Make yourselves
worthwhile by refining your Islam within and showing the glow of that Islam by
sharing it to others so that they also may be blessed with the light of Islam.
In a Hadith, our beloved prophet Hazrat
Muhammad (saw) has said: “Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward
similar to that of those who follow it, without the reward of either of them
being lessened at all.” (Muslim)
So, do not let those blessings go through your
hands. Hasten to the pleasure of Allah and to a higher reward by conveying the
good news of the unity of Allah and His Message to the world. Like in the
Hadith which I have just mentioned says, even if one person receives the
message from you and he accepts it and follows it, you will get a reward
similar to the one who has received the message and accepted it. So, hasten to
this good deed, O my daughters! Start this Dawa with yourselves, and even your
husbands and children. Then spread this message to your inner family circles
and your friends and ultimately the whole world as well. Make use of social
media in the best ways; not in ways which will make you lose Allah, but in ways
which will make you accede closer to Allah.
I hope that my humble advices will be taken
into high consideration and implemented. May Allah bless you all and bless this
function of yours and your whole Jalsa Salana Programme. May Allah protect you
from evil in every way! Amine.
I thank you for your sweet attention.
Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh.
