Imam -asws first praised and glorified Allah -azwj .
Imam -asws first praised and glorified Allah -azwj . Thereafter he -asws said: \u2018People before were destroyed because when they committed sins the Rabbis and Monks did not stop them from committing such deeds. When they continued committing disobedience and the Rabbis and Monks did not prohibit them, torments descended upon them.
\n They then commanded others to do good and prohibited to commit evil, (and) they found out that this did not make the time of their death closer and nor did it reduce their sustenance. The command comes from the sky to the earth, like the drops of rain to everyone as Allah -azwj measures for it (soul) in matters of increase and reduction.
If one of you is affected in matters of family, property or life and finds all such things with his brother in abundance, it should not become matters of trial for him. A Muslim is free of all forms of treachery as long as acts of lowliness do not take place from him (through his hands), about the mention of which he remains fearful.
\n On the other hand, people of lowly manners remain interested in lowly acts like a gambler who waits for the hit by the first winning arrow, which brings him gains and fends off from him the loss. A Muslim who is free of treachery expects from Allah -azwj , one of the two forms of gains. It is either the call from Allah -azwj , thus what is with Allah -azwj for him is better, or sustenance from Allah -azwj . So he has a family, property with religion and valuable status.
Wealth and children are worldly plantations but good deeds are plantations for the next life. \n At certain times Allah -azwj Places both of them together for certain people. You must remain anxious about your submission to Allah -azwj just as He -azwj has told you to be anxious about such submission. You must worry, without shortcomings and about your status before Him -azwj .
You must act without showing off and seeking popularity; those who act for something other than Allah -azwj , He -azwj Leaves him to the one for whom he has acted. I pray to Allah -azwj to lead us to the destinations of the martyrs, living of those who have gained salvation and the company of the Prophets -as (of Allah -azwj )\u2019.
