Riya is showing off a good characteristic, deed or manners with the only intention of getting a positive response or praise from the people. In fact, these jalsahs are immoral and the participants are callously obscene. Presenting the tafseer of the Qur’aanic Aayat: ‘It (the Book of Deeds) does not omit any sagheerah (sin) or kabeerah (sin), but it records it.’, Imaam Auzaai’ (Rahmatullah alayh) said that the meaning of sagheerah is tabassum (to smile), and the meaning of kabeerah is qahqahah (loud laughter).” Commenting on this tafseer, Allaamah Sha’raani  said that in the context of Imaam Auzaai’s tafseer, tabassum  means  such smiling  in which there is sound although substantially less than qahqahah (loud laughter). THE ISLAMIC BIBLE—THE TRILOGY Islam is defined by the words of Allah in the Koran, and the words and actions of Mohammed, the Sunna. Thus, as a warning for the merrymaking Ulama who indulge in Brahmin type feasting, Hadhrat Hasan Basri (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “It is evil for an Aalim to fill his stomach with even halaal food. he is affronted), then he should understand that he is a riya kaar.”. The concept of Justice in Islam is very important and it is something which the Muslim – Ruler and the ruled – must apply in all matters without exception. In the light of Islamic guidance from the Quran, Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam – may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the explanations of many renowned scholars, these articles can serve as a beacon of light guiding the reader on many life’s issues.

Although when money and fame are desired for the sake of Deen then this is not condemned, but it is debatable whether on such occasions (jalsahs) the Deen is the objective or the dunya. Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrated: “It is indeed surprising to see a man laughing while Jahannam is ahead of him, and it is surprising to see a man happy while Maut is hotly pursuing him.”, Allaamah Sha’raani says: “Whoever saw Hasan Basri (Rahmatullah alayh), he would conclude that he (Hasan Basri) had just emerged from a momentous calamity. What naseehat can I offer you? The molvis participating in these ill-conceived jalsahs are the victims of lust (shahwat). If he becomes pleased for being thus charged, then he is truthful (in his belief of ikhlaas). Wahab Bin Al-Ward (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “Laughing without israaf is to smile without exposing the teeth. From the aforegoing Naseehat of Allaamah Sha’raani and from many Qur’aanic Aayaat and Ahaadith, the villainy and hurmat of the glut of jalsahs should be quite manifest to every sincere seeker of the Haqq.

Allah says: islam on The Sin of Riyaa (Showing Off) So woe unto those performers of Salat (hypocrites), Those who delay their Salat (from their stated fixed times). (In other words, the jalsah is the occasion of this riya, hence the jalsah is sinful.) Then you come and sit in the Musjid narrating Hadith from Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Hadith on Riya: The Prophet fears lesser idolatry, ostentation Mahmud ibn Labid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, my greater fear for you is the lesser idolatry.” In front of the audience, needs of the madrasah are presented. The motivation for doling out prizes and awards to students is pure riya and takabbur. Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) commented: “We also used to cry like this. The ulama no longer are the guides of the people. Food without israaf, is food which is sufficient for eliminating hunger and which does not fully fill the stomach.”, Abdul Bin Abu Zaid (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “When some among the Sahaabah began joking (being merry), the following Qur’aanic Verse was revealed:  ‘What!

Jurisprudence and Islamic Rulings Acts of Worship Categories . • If the tree of riya’ grows for a long time in a person’s heart, it leads him to become a hypocrite. The Prophet pointed to his heart three times and said what means: << Piety is here, piety is here >>.. 4. What can be said about the molvis who destroy their souls in merrymaking jalsahs – who consume the haraam carrion chickens halaalized by the agents of Iblees – who lure women out of their houses in flagrant violation of Allah’s prohibition – who waste huge sums of Lillah funds for gluttonous feasting and unnecessary travelling and other concomitant expenses- who are the victims of riya and takabbur? The reason for this is that others who are careless will have justification. Thus, they deem it imperative to advertise their madrasahs and whatever other so-called deeni activities they are involved in. Their shahwat demands the presence of the females who are lured out of their homes to gratify the satanic lusts of misguided molvis who pillage and plunder the Deen in the dastardly endeavour to achieve their villainous objectives. Riya is for people; remember that only Allah can benefit us and only Allah can harm us: a firm yaqeen and aqeeda in tauheed counters riya. The more progress is made in Ilm, the more one develops an aversion for the dunya. Instead of guiding the students along the Pathway of Tawaadhu’ and Khashiyat, the Madaaris of this era ruin the Akhlaaq of the Talaba and pave the path of Jahannam for them. After observation it suffices to reflect. Perhaps you have heard of taqiyya, the Muslim doctrine that allows lying in certain circumstances, primarily when Muslim minorities live under infidel authority. The benefits of these jalsahs are not disputed. What then is the frightening condition of the one who fills his stomach with haraam? compulsory charity {Zakâh). The Ulama frequently go to the doors of the rich and engage in flattering them. The term hadith (pronounced ha-DEETH) refers to any of the various collected accountings of the words, actions, and habits of the Prophet Mohammad during his lifetime. Now on these occasions (of madrasah jalsahs), if one reflects, the sign of talab-dunya (seeking the world) is evident. They publicise their activities, praise themselves, give preference to their own madrasah, show off their work to be better and more intensive and for this they are at pains to increase the volume of their Ta’leem and introduce kitaabs which are beyond the capacity of the students to show the magnitude of the work being carried out, whether the students understand the work or not. 2, p. 273. While they may succeed in their self-deception they cannot fool Allah Ta’ala. With the evil riya of their jalsahs, these ulama are destroying the wonderful treasure of Ilm-e-Deen and the immense Thawaab promised for the correct observance of the rights of Ilm. This is good. If someone questions something about the madrasah, and even if he is right, it is never accepted. Hadhrat Fudhail Bin Iyaadh (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “There are numerous people lost in laughter (and merrymaking) while their kafan has just arrived.”. They stupidly dwell in the deception of them being Ulama when they lack the ability to even read the Arabic texts of the Kutub correctly. The cause of this riya is also sinful. People dwelling in the darkness of ignorance would find the Road of Guidance through your medium. It will lead to these becoming widespread among irresponsible people. 3. You sit on their carpets. Then there came such people whose hearts were hard.” (i.e. The primary cause of riya' is a weakness in man. Ahaadith such as: “The Muslimoon (the Ummah) are like one person.

We can also describe this as the honour and prestige of the madrasah, which boils down to hubb-e-maal and hubb-e-jaah (love for money and love for fame) which have been prohibited in numerous Nusoos (Qur’aan and Hadith injunctions). Concerning your laughter, Allah Ta’ala has revealed this verse……. Hadhrat Sufyaan Bin Uyainah (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “How is it possible for a reciter of the Qur’aan to make amal on it when he sleeps away the night, abstains from (Nafl) fasting during the day and eats mushtabah and haraam food.”. Clothes without israaf are garments sufficient to cover the body and shield it from the weather conditions. In all probability the second meaning is closer to the import of the hadith , as the open performance of wicked deeds is a greater evil. This is the meaning of them being ‘dead’ according to Hadhrat Umar Bin Abdul Aziz (Rahmatullah alayh). His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. When a person does not have strong faith in Allah, he will prefer the admiration of people over the pleasure of Allah. About these men of riya, Hadhrat Fudhail Bin Iyaadh (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “If you see an Aalim becoming happy when praised by the wealthy and the people of the dunya, then understand that he is a riya kaar.”, A sure sign of the disease of riya in a person is that he takes affront and becomes agitated when this disease is pointed out to him. It is also evident that to stop these is necessary as far as possible. Do not be like those who have been given the Kitaab before you (i.e. If they (the Ulama) get money which they understand not to be halaal, they will never refuse to accept the money. Gabriel (upon him be peace and blessings) said, "Oh Muhammad! A heart darkened with mushtabah, haraam, futility and merrymaking can never be a repository for these Anwaar which bypass the heart putrefied by merrymaking, riya and the villainous moral consequences of this vile characteristic. It can be gleamed from the fact that not only we are supposed to keep our bodies, clothes clean and free from offensive smells. Mahmud ibn Labid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, my greater fear for you is the lesser idolatry.” They said, “What is the lesser idolatry, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “It is ostentation. Hadhrat Saalih Al-Marri (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “A man who believes that he has Ikhlaas in his Ilm should focus on his nafs when people say that he is a riyaa kaar. Consideration for ill feelings prevents that. This was because of the grief observable on him.”. Jabir b. The first level is the ridha of the spiritually common folk, which is to be pleased with Allah (ridha billah) as die Lord, and to … 2. And the same applies to those who squander large sums of money on so-called ‘umrah’ trips which are nothing but haraam holidaying and merrymaking. But the hearts within the breasts are blind.”, The jalsah molvis are rotten with the disease of riya. But today, no amount of naseehat, no amount of the mention of Maut, the Qabr, Jahannam and the Aakhirat has any effect on the hearts of these fussaaq and fujjaar molvis and sheikhs. Islam Emphasizes on Cleanliness: How much Islam emphasizes on cleanliness. Best way to avoid Riya (showing off): Ikhlas (sincere devotion) O you who believe! Numerous of them are faasiqoon.”      (Al-Hadeed, Aayat 16), Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha) narrated that once when Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) entered the Musjid he found some Sahaabah laughing. 5. Riya, showing-off or ostentation, is to do an act of worship to be seen or praised, and thereby desire a benefit other than Allah’s reward or nearness. They generally project the status of their madrasahs much higher than it actually is, either explicitly or by implication. In fact, unintentional evil is sufficient. This weakness in iman causes a person to ignore the blessings and rewards of the Hereafter, and increases a person's desire for fame and prestige in this world. The hifz jalsah held at the Hilal Musjid in Durban as well as all other jalsahs in our time are all in diametric conflict with the teachings and spirit of the Deen. About them, Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’aan Majeed: “The physical eyes are not blind. So touching was this naseehat that Hadhrat Sufyaan Thauri (Rahmatullah alayh) sobbed in such abundance that he became breathless. The madaaris in these days do not cater for Islaah of the Nafs. Hadhrat Rabee’ Bin Khaisham (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “How can riya ever be permissible for an Aalim (when it is not permissible for even the worst jaahil). The Sunna is found in two collections of texts—the Sira (Mohammed’s life) and the Hadith. Criticizing these jalsahs, Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “The summary of these Shar’i obstacles is that when carefully viewed and evidenced by experience, the major reason for conducting these jalsahs is twofold; receiving donations and broadcasting one’s activities. If a person is very careless in performing those acts which Allâh has made obligatory on him. Once when some people from Yamaama were by Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu), this verse was recited. That is why they advertise themselves, their institutions and their students. The third form of this verb refers to wanting all of the aforementioned for oneself, i.e. The Prophet (SAWS) described Riya’ by giving the example of a person performing prayer for Allah, and improving his rendering of the Salat when he knows that others are watching him. This rule applies equally and consistently to gatherings of da’wat and gatherings of the madaaris. In so far as bayaans are concerned, firstly it is difficult to openly give naseehat to the audience of such gatherings. Pada dasarnya, perbuatan riya’ itulah adalah didasarkan daripada niatnya dalam mengerjakan amal ibadah yang ditujukan kepada selain Allah SWT.Oleh karena niat, orang lain tidak akan tahu bahwa apa yang dikerjakan itu tujuannya adalah untuk mendapat pujian. Allah Ta’ala, describing who the Ulama are, says in the Qur’aan Majeed: “Verily, of His servants only the Ulama fear Allah.”, Is there any semblance of tawaadhu and khashiyat in these satanic jalsahs of israaf and riya? One of the easiest ways to study Islam is to learn about Mohammed through his Traditions, called the Hadith. It is shahwat which goads them on to innovating these merrymaking practices which have no origin in the Sunnah, and which diverts the hearts and minds from Allah Ta’ala despite the ostentatious display of ‘deeni’ talks full of sound and fury signifying nil. ( Log Out /  Saeed Bin Abdul Azeez (Rahmatullah alayh) had not laughed for forty years until his death. A person with riya’ usually likes to humiliate others, and injures the feelings of brothers and sisters-in-faith. Brothers in Islam, Ta q w a (piety) is a word that is simple to utter by the tongue, however, it is heavy in the balance of terms of rewardable deeds and it is located in the heart. They make a mockery of Allah’s Name and the Deen by organizing their khuraafaat under Deeni guise. 1) DELAYING THE OBLIGATORY ACTS OF WORSHIP . About these ulama, Hadhrat Fudhail Bin Iyaadh (Rahmatullah alayh) said about 13 centuries ago whilst addressing Hadhrat Sufyaan Thauri (Rahmatullah alayh): “O Assembly of the Ulama! Indulging in their merrymaking feasting and excreting, they block the spiritual channel by means of which there is the transcendental transmission of Anwaar constantly cascading from the Arsh of Allah Azza Wa Jal. Only morons fail to discern the haraam ostentation plastered with a thin veneer which serves only the shaitaaniyat of self-deception. In collecting funds, schemes are devised to apply pressure on the hearts of those addressed, be this pressure in the form of coercion, embarrassment or empathy. If the jalsah molvis had been true repositories of Ilm, never would they derive pleasure in all the self-expression and in their quest for recognition, and in their crave for donations. Whereas true Ilm cultivates Tawaadhu’ (humility) and Khashiyat (fear), the juhala stock which these darul jahals nowadays produce are drunk with ostentation. Reported by Al-Bukhari [1:43, 4:25, 105, 9:166] and Muslim in the Book of Imarah hadith 149-150 and 151{/qluetip} It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (radiallahu 'anhu) that Natil Ashami said, "O Shaykh! Your light diffused in the cities. Hadith, record of the traditions or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, revered and received as a major source of religious law and moral guidance. Oleh sebab itu, baiknya mengenali beberapa perkara yang kebanyakan dikira riya’ dan syirik setelah memahami pengertian riya : Inform me about Islam." First you were Stars of Hidaayat. However, when benefits and wrongs clash then preference is accorded to the effect of the wrongs, when the benefits are not categorized as essential in the Shariah. But today (i.e. The Ulama frequently go to the doors of the rich and engage in flattering them. According to verses of the Qur'an, riya' in prayer is among the characteristics of hypocrites and a sign of hypocrisy. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. But they are dead, hence they wander around consuming fire.” Their hearts are harder than stone, hence their intransigence and the numerous infractions of the Shariah perpetrated by them. 6. In this regard the Muhaqqiqeen Ulama in this age debar the customary maulood, faatihah and urs gatherings, regardless of the organizer being cautious in I’tiqaad and Amal. Allah says: Unfortunately, even if we admit this in theory, we quickly forget it in practice. Riya refers to doing things that are pleasing to Allah with the intention of seeking admiration from others. The spiritual necrosis which is gnawing the brains and hearts of the jalsah gangs of molvis and sheikhs have totally blinded their spiritual hearts, hence spiritual perception of realities has become an impossibility for them. On the contrary, they will attack the person and labour to refute the question, even though in their hearts they know that it is the truth. Most lamentably, the madaaris are today among the signs of Qiyaamah: “Ilm will be imparted and acquired for purposes other than the Deen.” (Hadith), “The dunya will be pursued with the amal of the Aakhirat.” (Hadith). Their hearts have become hard like those of the Yahood and Nasaara as mentioned in the Qur’aan Majeed specifically in relation to merrymaking. Proffering Naseehat to the vile molvis, miserable sheikhs and the bogus khaanqah ‘spiritual guides’, Allaamah Abdul Wahhaab Sha’raani (Rahmatullah alayh) of the 10th Islamic century, begins with the citation of the following Hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam): “By Allah! But today you are total darkness. But these molvis and sheikhs with their obese bodies and gluttonous appetites for sumptuous meals in emulation of Hindu Brahmin priests, are satanically ghaafil about the plight of the Ummah despite them teaching in their darul jahals. Religion Islam stressed that one should enthusiastically go for performing noble actions without any delay as there might be a lack of willingness with the passage of time for one reason or another. (In other words, the jalsah is the occasion of this riya, hence the jalsah is sinful.). How can they have pride with something which utterly destroys amal?”, But the inebriation with riya has totally blinded their spiritual eyes and blighted their intellect. This desire causes a person to fall into riya'. On the contrary, they are mudhilleen (mis-leaders) about whom Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that for his Ummah he feared these mudhilleen so-called ulama more than his fear for even Dajjaal. People on whom this pressure is applied are targeted. In what we are discussing it is obvious that there is no Shar’i Zaroorat.

Hadith on Riya: The Prophet fears lesser idolatry, ostentation. Hadhrat Ibn Marzooq (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “A man who claims to be remorseful and grief-stricken for his sins, but then indulges in delicious foods is a liar.”. Riya is showing off a good characteristic, deed or manners with the only intention of getting a positive response or praise from the people. Riya’ comes from the Arabic root, ra-hamza-ya, from the verb which means to see, behold, perceive, notice, regard, consider, deem appropriate, and be amazed at. It is insisted that they attend the jalsah. The obesity and diseases generally plaguing the molvis of this age are the effects of devouring carrion chickens, carrion meat, mushtabah and haraam.

But the hearts of these molvis and sheikhs remain impervious to all the naseehat of the Qur’aan and Ahaadith, and to even the naseehat of our recent Akaabir such as Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) who had vigorously condemned these jalsahs which are nothing but haraam gatherings of merrymaking organized for the acquisition of nafsaani objectives. Now meet tawriya, a doctrine that allows lying in virtuallyall circumstances—including to fellow Muslims and by swearing to Allah—provided the liar is creative enough to articulate his deceit in a way that is true to him. Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mubaarak (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “Devouring mushtabah and haraam is today the dominating characteristic of the Ulama. The ulama and the so-called hadhrats are indeed most callous and obscene in organizing and participating in these khuraafaat jalsahs of riya, takabbur and israaf. Ilm is not acquired for these acts.”. Muslim refugees are literally freezing to death currently. The only objective of all of these shaitaani jalsahs is riya or money or both. Daughters are a great blessing because Allah(SWT) has promised a place in paradise (Jannah) on bringing them up. So, even though ta-weel is made (that is, defences are made to justify the jalsahs) and it is said to be for the Deen, however, Allah Ta’ala has made a yardstick for every intention whereby the validity or corruption of intention can be gauged. Rīyāʾ (Arabic: الرياء) means showing off and pretending to do good actions, without having the real intention for doing it.It is mentioned five times in the Qur'an.Riya' in worship means that one worships not for God, but intends to show off..

Both the Asaatizah and the Talaba are grounded in the vortex of the evil nafsaani attributes. His desire for expensive garments, delicious food, mansions, etc. But since such (haraam) things are opted for, it clearly shows that the objective is the dunya. Has the time not arrived for the people of Imaan that their hearts become tender for the Thikr of Allah and for the truth He has revealed? After explaining the meaning of ridha (pleasure or contentment with God), Shaykh Al-Harawi states in Manazil Al-Sa'irin that there are three levels of ridha.

They will rue their callousness at the time of their Maut. While they teach such Ahaadith and are fully aware of the command implied, they are recklessly oblivious in their shaitaani ghaflat. The Injunction of the Shariah is: “A man’s money is not lawful without his heartfelt consent”. This is advising to truth and advising to patience (Qur’an, 103:3). So we find that when we speak about our friends and loved ones, we praise them beyo… The place of riya is the spiritual heart. In many issues the Fuqaha have strongly debarred some permissible acts simply to close the avenues (saddan lil baab) and to uproot corruption (hasman li maaddatil fasaad). If another madrasah is established nearby, then in spite of this new madrasah being in a good state they (the authorities of the older madrasah) will look at it (the new madrasah) as if it is a thorn tree and in their hearts they will wish for its demolition and termination, whereas it is something to be happy about that Deeni work is being carried out at several places. He is often rude to a pious person and behaves proudly with him in order to project himself to be more virtuous. You consume their food, and you accept gifts from them. Speaking about acts of worship does not necessarily constitute riya. 3. Amongst the diseases of the heart is ar-riya’. Ikhlas (sincerity) in our actions and statements is of utmost importance for the acceptance of our deeds. Allaamah Sha’raani (Rahmatullah alayh) said:  “There are two factors which distinguish the Ahlullah (People of Allah) from the Ghair Ahlullah (those who are not the people of Allah, but are the people of the devil). Let us expand on this. These Anwaar seek abodes in which to settle. Hadith traditions may be sound (sahih), good (hasan), or weak (da’if). it is an indication that his îmân is very weak. In asking for donations the Rules of the Shariah are not observed. Riya (ostentation) being haraam is a Shar’i Hukm. In this scenario, if some muhtamim sahib conducts a jalsah with extreme care, then although he may not be directly involved in the wrongs, but there is no doubt that he is a cause for the spreading of the wrongs in other careless jalsahs. It is known for certainty that a rich man will fear insult and humiliation coming empty-handed. Then after a long period lapsed (and they became desensitized) their hearts hardened. They are the victims of the stomach and lust in which they are drowned. It is prohibited (manhi anhu) to popularize such wrongs intentionally and unintentionally. The objective of the pursuit of Ilm-e-Deen and Hifz of the Qur’aan Majeed is nothing other than Ridha-e-Ilaahi (The Pleasure of Allah Ta’ala). The intention in such cases, therefore, is usually to show off one’s good deeds to win praise and admiration of others. By way of example some of these factors are enumerated hereunder. Relate to us a hadith that you have heard from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam)." Then this objective (that is, hidaayat and naseehat) can be fulfilled independently in good measure.” (End of Hadhrat Thaanvi’s Fatwa of Prohibition). However, for fear of the new madrasah becoming famous and contributions increasing for the new madrasah and diminishing for their madrasah they are unhappy over this new madrasah. If the Deen was the objective then anything contrary to the Pleasure of Allah Ta’ala would not be adopted. The true piety of the Ulama is to abandon lust (shahwat).”. Their hearts have become indurate, repelling every naseehat of the Qur’aan and Hadith. They have made their Ilm a trap with which they entrap (the people) of the dunya (for gratification of their desires and lusts).”, For the Ulama of shahwat, Hadhrat Hasan Basri (Rahmatullah alayh) has the following advice: “If a man acquires all knowledge and engrosses himself in ibaadat to the extent that he becomes as thin as a rake, but he does not investigate the food which he ingests, whether it is halaal or haraam, then by Allah his ibaadat is not accepted.”. This is subversion of the Haqq. Secara mudah kita simpulkan bahwa riya’ adalah perbuatan yang semata-mata untuk mengharapkan sanjungan, pujian atau penghormatan dari pada orang lain. The people began to weep. We are supposed to stay away from the Mosque if we consume (or use something) which gives out offensive smells. He knows that riya constrains him to impart knowledge for (the pleasure) of others besides Allah, and he knows that it deracinates amal (practise). From the above signs, the first four are love for wealth not for the sake of the Deen and the last four are signs of love for fame not for the sake of the Deen. This is not riya’. In fact, the acquisition of the benefit is not confined to this particular way. With his mubaarak face reddening, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Are you laughing despite your Rabb not having revealed that you are forgiven? About such stone-hearted molvis and sheikhs who are plodding the pathway of the Ulama of Bani Israaeel, the Qur’aan Majeed mentions: “Then their hearts became hard like stone or even harder, for verily from some rocks gush forth rivers, and some rocks split open and fountains emerge, and some stones (boulders) roll from heights out of fear for Allah.”. Riya (ostentation) being haraam is a Shar’i Hukm. Free USA Shipping This book includes a compilation of articles that cover a number of important topics that can help a Muslim believer in his or her daily life. Justice means to give each the right he deserves: Muslim or non-Muslim, relative or stranger, friend or enemy. It is already accepted that many jalsahs, in fact all are plagued with the previously stated evils. Students could be awarded without any ceremony associated. The People of Allah are perpetually focused on the Aakhirah, and they engage in making preparations for the Aakhirah.” These two features of the Ahlullah are not to be found in the merrymaking Ghair Ahlullaah jalsah mobs who indulge in festivities, eating, laughter, waste and riya. They are without shelter, without even a small tent to shield themselves against the freezing weather conditions. The obligation of discarding something is not conditional to intentional evil. In the Arabic language, the term means "report," "account" or "narrative;" the plural is ahadith.Along with the Quran, the hadiths constitute the major holy texts for most members of the Islamic faith. Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated that ‘Umar said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say: “Veri Thaabit Bunaani (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “A Mu’min laughs only when he is oblivious (ghaafil) of Maut.”, Aamir Bin Qais (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “Those who indulge in much laughter on earth, will cry much in Jahannam.”. So, O Clique and Gang of molvis and sheikhs, when reading our naseehat, examine your hearts, fear Allah and know well that Maut is hovering over you. This comes under the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ where he says, “None of you perfected your belief until you love for your brother what you love for yourself.” Hal ini amat bertentangan dengan kehendak Islam yang senantiasa menyeru umatnya agar beramal atau melakukan perkara kebaikan dengan hati penuh keikhlasan dan mengharapkan keridhaan Allah.
