The Strong Mu-min who has ridded
himself of the natural human
propensity of evil is better than the weak Mu-min. We
learn from this that some Believers are strong whilst
others are weak.
So what did Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
say? “A strong Mu-min is better than a weak Mu-min”.
The
administration and the work from such a Mu-min can
never be delivered by a weak Mu-min. A weak Mu-min
is powerless to carry out such actions, neither for
himself, that is on a personal level, and nor is he
qualified to serve the community.
He is neither
successful in his personal endeavours of supervision
and performance and nor are his administrative and
active ventures for the people successful, as he is weak.
The need is for resolute, absolute and indefatigable
performance and supervision on a personal level and
for the community in dealing with opponents and
adversaries.
So, apart from the power of Imaan
one should have the power of correct and authentic Ilm
(knowledge).
The need will arise to discuss and debate
with an adversary and enemy, to prove the
Truth with absolute truths and solid evidence. For
this, strong and solid Ilm is required. So there should
be the power of knowledge.
The fruition of the power of Ilm is the power of Amal –
constant actions and true humility.
Then there should be physical power. Don’t wither away like autumn leaves.
Do press-ups, squats, walk briskly, run, go out in the
early morning. These are ways and means of
developing strength and power. If these are not
implemented then the question of developing strength
is void.
With physical power, there should then be power of
self-respect.
One should abstain from every such action
which is disgraceful and demeaning. To abstain from
acts which bring shame and disgrace upon oneself is
the power of self-respect.
After power of self-respect comes power of wealth.
Again, there should be Taqwa and abstinence when
earning money. Haraam wealth should be avoided.
Power of wealth should be interwoven with halaal
earnings. And how should this power of wealth be? All
around have gold and your heart should be on the Giver
of the gold
In other words, there shouldn’t be love for
the wealth in one’s heart. On the contrary, one’s heart
should be absorbed with the love of Allah, lest one
recklessly acquires wealth without concern for halaal or
haraam.
When these five assets of power are
achieved by the Community of Mu-min-e-Qawi then
there is no question of disunity.
Collective Unity has
thus been achieved. Once this collective unity has taken
shape then no adversary can be stronger than this
Strong Mu-min and hence Rasoolullah (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) said that if there is no such unity then
the weakness of the Ummah will be at its lowest.
Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Beware
of the decomposition of your mutual affairs.”
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
