Everlasting Goodness
By Dr. Syed Liaqath Peeran


It is not enough that Muslims just proclaim and show off their faith, they should also practice and do what they say.


Allah has been sending messengers (Prophets) to proclaim about the goodness and about His Mercy, Clemency and good cheers for all those who submit to Him due surrender, faith and fear.


This is the Book, In it is guidance sure without doubt, to those who fear God (Allah) (2:1)


The believers in Allah’s message have to be constant in praising Him morn, midday, pre and post dusk and during night hours, to remind themselves of maintaining purity of heart and mind and the obligations they have to fulfill all the time. The belief in the All Pervasive Allah is essential and paramount in the life of the believers.


Only such people who by walking on the path of guidance, become virtuous and maintain law and order. They are persons who shun evil and wrong acts, mischievous deeds and company of the evil Satan, who misguides mankind.


Prosperity is not only in material wealth, in possessions of goods and things of comfort, but prosperity is in all round spiritual advancement, in acquisition of knowledge, in progress of culture and in all good things of life. Prosperity brings in joy, happiness and bliss, both in this world and in the world hereafter.


Thus, love for the Creator is a must for advancement in life. Love for love’s sake will bring in dedication which is a requirement, to achieve patience, fortitude, constancy and victory in all the efforts put in sincerely by the believers.


It is not enough that Muslims just proclaim and show off their faith, but they should practice and do what they say.


It is humanly difficult to overcome lethargy and avoid satanic thoughts and the human urge of lust, jealously, hatred and such other evil thoughts, which try to ruin the person. Hence, Allah’s help should be constantly sought to ward off the evil forces.


Allah assures that it is not difficult to overcome the evil, if you are humble, kind, affectionate and lead a simple, frugal life. Believers should be watchful and know too well that this life is to pass. Life is a sport and the reality is only after the life, when all the account of the good acts done by us are taken into account.
