“The majority consists of the sinners” at large.
Once Hazrat Ali visited a nearby grave yard, there,
he saw, a fresh grave. He developed strong will to know about the person buried
in it therefore, he begged the Great Allah and said plz raise the curtain
between me and the state of affairs of the dead soul. GOD accepted his humble
desire and within moments H.Ali could see the dead body and he saw dreadful scene
before his eyes he saw the dead body was arrested in the long flames and very
hot fire balls and with crying heart - breaking sound aloud he was weeping,
requesting Ali to help him to be out of fire with is continuously burning him
with increased intensity. O Ali he requested - please be kind to me and pray God and recommend in my favour I am
helpless so please get me out of this dreadful punishment.
The shocking scene and loud screaming extremely painful
punishment Hzrt Ali became restless and depressed he raised his hands before
the court of Allah and asked for forgiving the dead. His application for the pity was
responded by saying O Ali do not recommend this man, for, in spite of keeping
fast this unfortunate person did not respect
fast which is due, for Ramadan. He continued to commit sins. The day was
seemingly with fast but in the night he was
involved in sins. Hzrt Ali became very sad and in sajdah he again put his
request by saying please keep my words for request because this fellow has called me with great
hope O my master Please do not insult me by rejecting the request and please
forgive this poor fellow. Ultimately GOD felt pity, forgiving him. A big fountain
came into existence, Ali could hear the sweet voice saying O Ali due to your heavy sorrowful heart I
have forgiven him and after pardon the punishment was over.
The inspiration we get from the above episode is
that when Allah is angry even the praying person and the fasting person can
also be punished
While what we observe is that our brothers observing
fast pass their fasting time in playing out door games with lot of noice in the
garb of not feeling the thirst and hunger. What will happen to such people and
those when keep them self’s busy in indoor games forgetting the time for namaz so
next time we should ensure that we will keep fast to get the reward from GOD
and not for the passing time in other affairs not allowed by our religion – Islam.
Abu Umama has written that he heard our Dear Prophet
that when he was deep asleep he saw to two people in his dream. One brought him
to a mountain, when reaching in the mid of
the two mountains, loud painful screams could be heard by him, when asked about
them Prophet SAW was told that such voices are from the people burning in the
fire of hell. On covering small distance Prophet saw some people were tied from
their ankles upside down their mouths were ripped off the jaws where kept apart
with continuous bleeding when asked he
was explained that these are the people who observed fast but much before the
scheduled time they consumed edibles, they took the fast lightly, taken for granted
and in every fast used to eat much before the time of termination of fast. therefore,
such fast breaking much before the time
made Allah angry and they had to suffer the consequences. So remember, keep
fast, as instructed by our Prophet and if we keep but break it before completion of the day is an unpardonable sin so revenge by GOD to such
people is sure to happen. There is code of conduct for the month so that in real sense we keep the fast and earn the rewards – due. May Allah The
Great Guide Us In Righteous Future Amen.
