1- This Ka l ima ... S jH j J jP j is from the treasures

lightest of which is worry. (Mirqaat, Vol. 5, pg. 121)

3- When any one reads this, then Allah Ta'ala

teils the angels that My servant has becomeobedient and has left all disobedience. As

reported in a hadith by H a z r a t Ab u H u r a i r a h

that Rasoulullah said: Should

Allah Ta'ala tells the angels that;

My servant has become obedient and has left

all disobedience,

and he has completely entrusted his affairs ofboth worlds to Me. (Mirqaat , Vol . 5 , pg. 1 2 1- 1 22 )

Is it not a great bounty from Allah Ta'ala that

when the servant reads this k a l i m a , Allah Ta'ala

remembers him in His Throne in the gathering

of angels.

SEVEN PROVEN PRESCRIPTIONS

FOR STEADFASTNESS ON DEENAND DEATH ON IMAAN

P r es c r ipt io n - 1

A f t e r e v e r y f a r d h s a l a h r ea d

\ j X& i t jJ u U jjJ U J j L j j

J j j ^ UJ

( Para 3, Surah Al- Imran )

T rans: O our Cherisher! do not steer our hearts

away after guiding us, and shower Your Mercyonus. SurelyYou are the Most Generous.



In the above A a y a t , Allah Who is the King of all

Kings has revealed to His servants the necessity

of steadfastness and good death; and when the

Supreme King teaches us how to present our

request, then why should our request not be

accepted. This steadfastness is a great wealth

which is a means for our entrance into J a n n a h .

Few important points are being mentioned from

Ruhul M a a a n i which will enhance the pleasure

in making this d u a .

1- The word i m e a n s steadfastness on Deen.

A l l am a A l o u si ( ^ j ) says:

2- By revealing the two related words and

viU i i after uJ fcj , Allah Ta'ala has enhanced

the desire of His servant for the real objective

i.e. steadfastness on De e n . Like when a father

pulls his hands up after showing a sweet to

increase the desire of a child. The child there

after, jumps up and down to get the sweet

eagerly. This is asthetically a decendent topicfor this blessing. (As me ntioned in R uhul M a aani).

The reason for similating this topic with the

word is that the two blessings i.e steadfastness

on Deen and death on I m a a n are dependent

on eachother. These two great blessings due



to which one gets freedom from Hell and on

entrance to J a n n a t , could never be the reward ofour limited efforts of our limited life. Therefore,

Allah Ta'ala has informed his slaves of this

important reality that beware! Never even think

it to be reward of any of your deed.

This steadfastness on Deen, due to which death

on Im a a n is linked, cannot be bought, because

the prayers offered for 80 years and fasting for80 years should buy J a n n a t fo r 80 years. But

eternal life in J a n n a t for limited efforts, could only

be due to the benevolance of Allah. Therefore,

one should request with for it is without a cost.

And in (bestowal), the giver gives due to

His limitless benevolance.

A l l a m a A l o u si ( explains this point as:

T a'ala has similated it to indicate that this blessingmeans that the power of doing a good deed is from

A llah T a'ala due to which the servant can strongly*hold on to his faith. This is but A llah's blessing given

to whom* so'ever He wishes. AsA llah is the greatest

Provider and can forgive limitlessly.

It has been narrated in a h a d i t h , that a person

once went to fulfil one of his personal needs.

He sat near a gathering of people making Z i k r .

Allah proclaimed forgiveness of all those who

were engaged in His remembrance, including

this person. An angel said: O A llah, this sinfulperson did not come to make Zikr but came for some

personal need, and perchance joined the gathering *

Allah Ta'ala replied:



T his gathering is so blessed that any person who joins

it unintentionally , w ill not be deprived of its blessing

Trans: Those who sit w ith the friends of A llah,

same bounties as the guest himself).

v * v l (Death wi th ImaanC

To love someone for the sake of Allah Ta'ala

is a great means of attaining death on I m a a n

love by having love for the friends of Allah.

Mu l l a h A l i Q a r i ( ) mentions in ( M i r q a a t

Vol. 5, pg . 7 4) that once the sweetness of I m a a n

enters the heart it will never depart. (It is a

royal gift from Allah Ta'ala which will never be

taken back).

Thus death on I m a a n is linked to the acquisition

of the sweetness of Im a a n , which is due to

the love one possess for the friends of Allah.

M u l l a h A H Q a r i ( I ) says a person will

attain a sincere love of Allah Ta'ala when:

1 Ones love should not be for any ulterior

motive.

2 It should not be for any compensation.3 It should not be for any material gain.

4 It should not be for any worldly pleasure.

5 It should be free from carnal des ires.

and obviously a person can only attain this

To spend one moment in the company of a W ali of A llah

is better than a hundred years of accepted Nafli Ibaadat

Hakeem - u l - Um ma t H az r a t Thanw i (J*J>Iz ?j ) explains

this that by spending time with the A u l i y a A l l a h ,

one's I m a a n becomes so strong that it is unlikelyfor one to leave the fold of Islaam. He could

commit a sin, but would never leave Islaam

and become renegade. On the other hand,

shaytaan worshipped for thousands of years,

but his worship could not save him from becoming

rejected. For it is obvious that the thing that saves

one from becoming renegade would definatelybe better than thousand years of { I b a a d a t ) . All

thanks are due to Allah Ta'ala Who made it

possible to finish the seven prescriptions for death

with I m a a n . May Allah Ta'ala give us all the ability

to practice them. I request the readers of this

booklet to pray for me that Allah Ta'ala through

His Mercy, bless me with steadfastness onDe e n and death on Im a a n .

No t e : While reciting this Dua , on reaching the

underlined words, one should think of

one's problem. It is desirable that the I s t i k h a r a h

be performed seven times. If one is still in

doubt, he should continue to perform I s t i k h a r a h

for seven days. If the matter is urgent, this D u a

should be read seven times, once after every

two r a k a a t s .

A l l a m a Sh a a m i ( has mentioned a

narration reported by H a z r a t A n a s

that it is desireable that the I s t i k h a r a h be

performed seven times. And if time does not

permit, then perform two r a k a a t s of Na f l Sa l a a t

seven times in one gathering and thereafter

recite this d u a .

SALAAH OF REPENTANCE

If one broke or disobeyed any of the com

mandments of Allah, one should perform two

r a k a a t s of N a f l Sa l a a t , and with a lot of regret

and sorrow and tears, ask for forgiveness from

Allah.

It comes in a h a d i t h that if one cannot cry, one

should imitate a crying person. One must make

a firm intention never to repeat the sin again.

I n s h a - A l l a h , with the grace of Allah Ta'ala,

he will be forgiven.



W a rn in g : Sh e i k h - u l - H a d i t h , H a z r a t Sh e i k h

Z a k a r i y y a quotes H a z r a t Fa q e eh Ab u

La i t h Sam a r q a n d i as saying that it is

necessary to recite the k a l im a h " ^ "

in abundance, and to continuously abstain from

sin. Many Muslims lost their I m a a n at the time

of death due to evils of sins.

During the time of Nabi ( sbs - vlp* ) a Sahab i who

was on his deathbed was unable to recite the

k a l i m a h . Rasulullah enquired from him

as to the reason. He replied that it seems as if

there is a lock on his heart. It was established

that his mother was unhappy with him because

he used to ill-treat her. Nabi ( ) called the

mother and asked her if she would intercede

on behalf of her son if it was said that her son

would be thrown in the fire. She replied in the

affirmative. Rasulullah commanded

her to forgive her son. No sooner had she done

so, the son started the k a l i m a h .

t is mentioned in a h a d i t h that the person whoj, i *

recites the k a l i m a h .oil with sincerity

shall enter J a n n a h . Upon enquiry as to what

was meant by sincerity, Nabi ) said:

To abstain from that which A llah has prohibited



aflHKS111

Therefore, if a person dies without making T aubah,

he will first be punished before entering Jannah,unless Allah forgives him through His Mercy.

INCIDENT: Recently a person who was on Lis

deathbed and would utter every word bui ho

could not utter the word "T aubah" and he died

in this condition. This was because he used io

continuously commit sins without making T aubuh.

This is the evil effect of sins.

EXTRAORDINARY WAZ1FAA

Hazr at Abu Ayub A nsari ( .Je jil- Sj) narrated thot

when Surah Fateha, A ay atul K ursi, S hahidallah

and A llahum ma M aalik al Mulk were reveaL-J ,

they clung to the Throne of Allah and said:

Are You going to reveal us to such people who arc full t >j

sins? Allah Ta'ala said to them: By the oath of M\

Grandeur and Magnificence, whosoever recite you uju i

every Fardh Salaah,We w ill forgive them and We n'ill
