Muhikal Faqar (Qalan)

That is, one ought to donate his earning to some Muslim brother and should consider hunger the taste! Letter Qaaf means that he should be firm on Deen and Raa implies that he should consider discomfort the wealth and should not give (this) wealth the world!

He, who set step into Faqar and then turned his face against it and inclined towards the sordid Dunya (World), [he became ruined and spoiled].

And (as such) he commits shameful act through letter Faa, Qaaf means Coercion (Qehar) of God and becomes the one who has been the rejected by both Worlds through letter Raa.

SHARAH OF

THE ILM

Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: Eimaan is naked and Taqwa is its dress and its beauty is Haya (bashfulness and modesty) and its fruit is Ilm.

Devoutness and studying abundance of Ilm is not obligatory on man. Ilm should be accompanied by Amal (practice) and giving up sins is individual-obligation.

[The Ummul Momineen Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqa Tayyeba Tahira Zahida Abida Aalima Fazila Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anha reports that:]

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

A person of the Bani Israel (Children of Israel) collected eighty chests of Ilm and each chest was eighty meters long and he did not get the benefit of the Ilm himself. Hence, Allah Almighty sent Revelation on His Prophet that he collected a lot of Uloom but all remained fruitless.

Hence, Allah Almighty sent Revelation to their Prophet Alaihis-Salaam that he should particularly say to him [who has collected eighty chests of Ilm] that if he will collect too much Ilm, it would not give you benefit and instead he should act upon the following three pieces of advice:

1.                                                                                          He should not love Dunya (World) because it is not the home of the Momin

2.                                                                                          He should not be the companion of Satan because Satan is not the friend of Momin

3.                                                                                          He should not give trouble to any person because giving pains to others without any reason is not the conduct (and ethics) of the Momin
