It
should be uderstood like this that Tauhid is poison and prayer is
such a means which moderates by removing all its evils. And who
does not know that when poison is moderated there is no better medicine
than this or you may take like this that many lion-like people educate
and train themselves in the art of love and affectin and humility
by gathering together and they develop such a character which becomes
the perfect explanation of " hardness in their behaviour with
infidels and kindness among themselves". The prowess and elasticity
of character of such persons cannot by gauged by even the greates
psychologist of today. And what to talk of such a group character.These
are the people who cannot accept slavery of annybody on one side
and can never oppress anybody any time on the other side. (for detail

FAST
1-
In all the divine worships of Islam only fast is a kind of prayer
in which man imitates one of the attributes of Allah, that is, as
Allah is free from eating and drinking similarly during Ramazan
those who fast do not take anything from morning to sunset. This
means that he acts upon one of the attributes of Allah for sometime.
If those who fast remember this point, they will remember Allah
throughout the day. And it is the highest type of prayer to remember
Allah.
2-Purity
and Cleanliness are essential during fast. While fasting not only
physical cleanliness is essential but spiritual purity is also imperative.
By keeping the soul free from thoughts and pure it generates boundless
bliss and boldness which cannot be achieved in years.
3-Patience
and perseverance and strength of toleration can be practised during
fast which is essential to bring forth supreme contrary......(for

Now
the question arises that among Muslamans those who fast are in larger
number then those who offer regular prayers. Even most corrupt rather
thieves and dacoits fast during Ramzan and become pious. But the
moment Ramzan is over, they are again with their evil pursuits.
Why is it so? Why there is no improvement in their character and
conduct? The answer is that in reality they do not have perfect
faith in Allah, that is, the foundation of belief is weak. Then
how can the super-structure be strong? During fast rather during
Ramzan perhaps only few have the feelings of presence of Allah and
feel that He is seeing them. This is the reason that instead of
patience, will to control and perseverance generally those who fast
display confusion and anger. Hence during Ramzan we hear such tings,
"do not talk to him, he is under the spell of fast" or
fast has overtaken him". etc ect. (for detail pls read the

HAJJ
Among
Islamic prayers Hajj also is an unique and most beneficial prayer.
Hajj is not simply to go Makkah, circle round the Kaabah and after
performing other related rites come back with the conviction that
all his sins have been washed away and he has received the passport
to the heaven rather by performing Hajj the following benefits can
be gained:-
1-
For performing the Hajj a long and arduous journey has to be completed.
It develops coverage, intellect and experience and shyness is set
aside and it also increases knowldge.
2-
The troubles and tribulations that one meets during the journey
are tolerated without any murmur considering the habit of tolerating
privations which lead to the attainment of power of toleration. |
