ALLAH'S ANGER AND WAYS FOR ITS REMEDY

by Mufti Abdur Raheem Lajpuri Saheb RA (Allâh grant barakah to him)

Question: The Religious Scholars (Ulamâ) are requested to shed light upon the factors behind Muslim distress and suffering all over the world. Muslims are facing riots and massacres at many places - Why is this?

Answer: There are several reasons for this sad state of affairs in the Ummah. Among the more prominent ones are the following:

* Lack of true faith in Allâh Ta'âla.
* Increased disobedience towards Him.
* Increasing timidity among us.
* Love of the materialistic world [Hubb-e-Dunya wa Mâl].
* Open disobedience of the Sunnah of Rasulullâh Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam.

Following our own innovated [bid'ah] practices and customs. Neglecting the rights of Allâh [Huqûq-Allâh], and the rights of creation [Huqûq-ut-Ibad].

Our complete ingratitude towards the innumerable blessings showered upon us by our Benefactor, despite being totally unworthy of these blessings.

Disregard for the selfless advice given to us by our noble Ulamâ in relation to our religion.

Almighty Allâh sums up the reasons for our suffering in Surah 42, Âyah 30 of the Noble Qur'ân:

"Whatever misfortune happens to you, it is because of the things your hands have wrought, and for many of them he grants forgiveness…"

A further elaboration on this point is found in Surâh 30, Âyah 4 1:
"Mischief has appeared on and sea because of what the hands of man have caused, that Allâh may give them a taste of some of their deeds; in order that they turn back from evil. "

Severe Punishment for Certain Types of Sins

Indulging in disobedience and committing sins anger Allâh, but certain sins are such that, if committed, will invite a very swift and severe punishment.

Among these types of sins are:

Unjust decision-making and the breaking of a pledge - these await the imposition of tyrannical rule.

Short-weighting and short-measuring by traders — await the punishment of famine, inflation and oppression.

Widespread betrayal of trust will cause the imposition of tyrant rulers.

Fearing death and inclining towards materialism [dunya] will result in timidity and fear the faithful. - Jazâ-ul-A'mâl.

The companion, Sayyadina Thawbân Radhiallahu Anhu narrated that Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wasallam is reported to have said:

"A period will come when the enemies will come closer by calling one another for annexing the nations of the believers just like how people call one another for eating food when it has, been prepared. "Someone then asked as to whether the Muslims will be few in number then?

Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam is reported to have replied, "You will be large in numbers, but will like hay before a flood of water. Your enemies will not fear you because you will be so weak and timid. "One companion then asked the reason for this decline, and Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, "Life (and its luxuries) will become more dearer to you and you will dislike death, (and facing Allâh). Mishkat Sharîf p.459. Chapter on Taghayyur-Un-Nâs; Abû Dawûd, p.242.

HOW TO MAKE GHUSL

First wash both the hands, including the wrists. Then wash the private parts. The hands and private parts should be washed even if one is not in the state of Janaabat (impurity) or in need of Ghusl. If there is visible filth elsewhere on the body, it should now be washed off.

Perform Wudhu. If one is making Ghusl on a stool or platform where water will rapidly flow away, then perform the complete Wudhu. If there is a fear of the feet being dipped in waste water during the Ghusl, then postpone the washing of the feet to the end of the Ghusl. Ensure that the mouth and nostrils are thoroughly rinsed thrice.

After performing Wudhu pour water over the head thrice. Thereafter pour water thrice over the right shoulder and thrice over the left shoulder. Then pour water over the entire body and rub.

If the hairs of the head are not plaited, it is compulsory to wet all the hair upto the very base. If a single hair is left dry, Ghusl will not be valid. If the hair of a woman is plaited, she is excused from loosening her plaited hair but it is compulsory for her to wet the base of each and every hair. If she fails to do so then the Ghusl will not be valid. As for men who grow long hair and plait it, they are not excused from leaving their hair dry.

It is Mustahab (preferable) to clean the body by rubbing it. All parts of the body should be rubbed with the hands to ensure that water has reached all parts of the body and no portion is left dry. Rings, earrings, etc., should be removed to ensure that no portion covered by them is left dry. Ensure that the navel and ears are all wet. If they are not wet, Ghusl will be incomplete.

On completion, one should confine oneself to a clean place. If, while performing Wudhu, the feet had been washed, it is not necessary to wash them again. Dry the body with a clean towel and dress as hastily as possible.

If after Ghusl one recalls that a certain portion of the body is left dry, it is not necessary to repeat the entire Ghusl. Merely wash the dry portion. It is not sufficient to pass a wet hand over the dry place. If one has forgotten to rinse the mouth or the nostrils, these too must be rinsed when recalled after Ghusl has been performed.

She answered…" To my mother!"

He replied " Oh ya! I am going to my mother!"
