[FONT="]THE TRUE BELIEVERS WORSHIP REGULARLY AND EXERCISE MORALS[/FONT]
[FONT="]Allah the Exalted has asked the believers to pay much attention to exercise high morals because without them, the one who claims to have faith, cannot be a believer. There is indication of a believer is that he not only offers worships, he avoids vain things too. It is not possible that a person is a believer, and at the same time he commits immoralities too. Usually a person becomes immoral when he has arrogance. That is why Allah the Exalted says about ‘Servants-of-Rahman’: “………yamshoona alalarzey honan” (Holy Quran, ch25:v64). They walk on the earth with extreme humbleness.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The person who has humbleness, he avoids conflicts and clashes, he is inclined towards peace-making, and he possesses other high morals too. His act of keeping the pleasure of Allah the Exalted in view, along with practicing high morals, and also his attempts to pay right of Allah’s worship, such are the conditions of true a believer………..In short, the true believer is Abid and Ajiz ([FONT="]worshiper[/FONT] and humble).[/FONT]
[FONT="]Yes, it is true too that every person has different capacities. They have different bodily conditions, and they face different temporary states, which become hindrances. Therefore, not everyone can keep their standards of morals at same level all the times, in all conditions………..Similarly, they cannot maintain such levels of their Salaat-s and worships for their spiritual progress, which are expected from a believer.[/FONT]
[FONT="]PERMISSIONS AND EASES FOR SALAAT[/FONT]
[FONT="]That is why Allah the Exalted has provided permissions according to the situations of believers. He does not put burden on human more than his capacity and condition. Therefore, at least for Religion Islam it cannot be said that it ask to do things which are impossible to do. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Allah the Exalted commands that offering Salaat-s is obligations, and at the same time He granted many eases for it. For example, if someone cannot offer Salaat in standing posture for some reason, he is allowed to offer Salaat in sitting position. If one cannot offer Salaat in sitting position due to ailment and weakness, he is permitted to say Salaat in reclining position. There is no restriction to lie in any certain way. [/FONT]
[FONT="]During travel, or any having temporary restriction, one can shorten (qasr) or combine two Salaat-s (jama) [/FONT][FONT="]as per rul[/FONT][FONT="]es. Thus no one with any constraint, can say that It is impossible for him to offer Salaat.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Those people who have jobs where their clothes apparently get unclean, it is instruction for them that if they do not have clean clothes, whatever they are wearing, they should offer Salaat.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Likewise, if water is unavailable, they should perform ‘[/FONT][FONT="]tayamm[/FONT][FONT="]am’ instead of ‘wudhu’ [[/FONT][FONT="][FONT="]pat[FONT="]ting[/FONT][/FONT] hands at clean dusty surface and pass over back of each hands, and then pass over face -- as token ablution][/FONT][FONT="]…… A wise person can understand that it is always possible to offer Salaat. To offer Salaat is compulsory as long as one is in senses. Thus, it is very wrong to say that Salaat is impossible to offer in certain condition…..When some people are asked about Salaat, they present excuses. Such people drift away from Eman (faith) by making such excuses…..Thus each of us should pay attention for this matter.[/FONT]
[FONT="]REMINDER TO BELIEVERS WORKS – SALAAT IS LIFE LONG – IMPORTANCE OF WORSHIP IN YOUTHFUL DAYS – ROLE OF JAMA'AT’s AUXILIARIES [/FONT]
[FONT="]Hazrat Khalifa tul Messiah (may Allah be his Helper) further said that After his inaugural Friday sermon at Maryam Mosque Ireland, in which he asked Jama'at to pay attentions to these matters, a Murabi sahib [an appointed religious clergy who oversees morals and spirituality] from America wrote (and same reports came from other places) that attendance in mosques[/FONT][FONT="] has bee[/FONT][FONT="]n increased after this Sermon……It proves that, not coming to mosques was not due to any limitation or due to impracticality, but it was due to laziness…. When attention were drawn, it produced effects. Now these positive effects should be preserved. [/FONT]
[FONT="]It is the quality of believers When they are reminded, they act. Khuddam ul Ahmadiyya [auxiliary of Ahmadiyya Jama'at for men under 40] and Lajna [Jama'at’s auxiliary for women] should especially make efforts to remind young people to offer Salaat regularly. This young phase in life has better health and the rights of worships can be paid…… Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has especially drawn our attention to it that worships in youth and health can be offered with proper rights; in old age various ailments render difficulties. [/FONT]
[FONT="]In short, one should ponder that one should fulfill the [/FONT][FONT="]obligations ma[/FONT][FONT="]de by God the Exalted, even if one has to compel oneself. [/FONT][FONT="]Far to think, not paying these rights despite ha[/FONT][FONT="]ving facilities. Allah the Exalted has granted health, it is necessary to pay His right by thanking for grant of health. And this right is paid through worship, the Salaat. We need to pay lot of attention to it. Our faith cannot be completed without it.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Now the other matter i.e. [/FONT]
[FONT="]GOOD MORALS[/FONT]
[FONT="]Those, who has high morals, one of their great quality is to state truth and to remain firm on truth. The quality of a believer is that he should always be at truth and never wander around lie. It is possible only when one hates lie. But what we see in the world practically, people get support from lie on various occasions. Some people say that they [/FONT][FONT="]did not inte[/FONT][FONT="]nd to lie but it was spoken by mistake. For example, they apply for asylum here, and latter say, they said something by mistake, which they did not intend………..If one does not have habit, one does not speak wrong by mistake.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Allah the Exalted forgives those who realize their mistake. In this situation, they have to state their regret too. But, if one speaks lie and have no regret, and does not try to make compensation to the hurt party BUT On the contrary, being stubborn, he tries to prove lie as truth, or he says that This lie was necessary. Such a person is neither having Eman / faith, nor he can be called to have good morals. Certainly, such person should realize that he is not on right path.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Allah the Exalted says about morals that “…..wa qulu linnaasey husnaa…..” (2:84) Speak with and treat people with kindness and in good way.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Usually people do not speak harshly with others. Even though, some people are instinctively severe and angry but they do not display it normally. So when Allah the Exalted commands to speak and deal with people with kindness and softness, He addresses to these people to change their strict nature and to be soft; you should never say anything which hurt others. Do not be ‘maghdhub ul ghadhab’ (over taken by anger) on little things.[/FONT]
[FONT="]But, some people, due to their make (as people have different constitutions) suddenly get flared up. If such people should feel remorse after saying harsh words, and try to compensate the emotional or other hurt, [/FONT][FONT="]which they have ha[/FONT][FONT="]d inflicted on others, and do [/FONT][FONT="]Taub[/FONT][FONT="]a (return to God, repentance) and do Istighfaar (seek divine cover and help), then Allah the Exalted says I have kept open the door of Tauba open, and their Tauba is accepted.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Those who do not pay attention to this directive of Allah the Exalted, and who continue to do un-rightful brutality and severity, and who do not feel any kind of remorse, these are the people who are falling from morals and they are becoming sinful by denying a directive of Allah the Exalted. Worships offered by such people do not give them any benefit.[/FONT]
