Beware that Allah misses you during an act of obedience He has <strong>com</strong>mended you (to perform).<br />

Adhere to diligence. Do not take out of yourself falling short of worshipping Allah, for surely they<br />

do not assign to Allah, the Great and [1] Ibid., p. 373.<br />

[2] Muhajj al‐Da'awat, p. 373.<br />

Almighty, the worship due to Him. Beware of joking, for it takes away the light of your faith and<br />

makes (men) disparage your manhood. Beware of laziness and boredom, for they deprive you of<br />

your share in this world and the next.”[1]<br />

Directions and Guidance<br />

He, peace be on him, has given to all Muslims general directions in which he has mentioned:<br />

“Experiences are sufficient education; the passage of time is a (sufficient) lesson; the morals of<br />

him with whom you associate are (sufficient) knowledge; the remembrance of death is a<br />

(sufficient) barrier against sins and offences. The wonder of wonders is those who are on diet and<br />

drink lest they should be infected by a malady, but they do not guard against sins out of fear of<br />

the fire when it burns their bodies.”[2]<br />

General Advice<br />

He, peace be on him, advised his <strong>com</strong>panions to organize their time and to educate their souls,<br />

saying: “Try hard, that your time may be four hours: one hour is for supplicating Allah, one hour<br />

for the affairs of the livelihood, one hour for associating with the brothers (friends) and the<br />

reliable ones who let you know your defects and who are inwardly loyal to you, and one hour for<br />

that you are alone with yourselves (and) for non‐forbidden things. Through this hour you have<br />

power over the three hours. Tell yourselves of neither poverty nor a long lifetime, for whoever<br />

tells himself of poverty be<strong>com</strong>es miserly. Whoever tells himself of a long lifetime be<strong>com</strong>es greedy.<br />

Appoint for yourselves a share of the world through giving them something lawful they desire,<br />

that does not defile manhood, and in which there is no immoderation. Seek help from that for the<br />

affairs of your religion, for it has been reported: ‘Whoever leaves his life in the world for his<br />

religion or leaves his religion for his life in the world does not belong to us.”[3]<br />

Urging for Doing Good<br />

He, peace be on him, has said: “He whose two days are equal is cheated. He whose end of his two<br />

days is more wicked than them is cursed; whoever does not know the increase to his own soul is<br />

in a decrease; whoever is in a greater decrease, it is better to him die than to remain alive.”[4]<br />

With this brief presentation we will end our talk about his sermons and teachings and we will deal<br />

with another apart of his heritage.<br />
