The pure life led by each and every one of the
Ashâb-i-kirâm (Sahâba) sets an example for us to follow. We should imitate them
and try to deserve love of Allâhu ta’âlâ. A Muslim who follows in their
footsteps will obey the commandments of Allâhu ta’âlâ and the laws of the state. It is sinful to disobey the commandments,
and a crime to violate the law. A perfect Muslim will not commit sins or
crimes. To be a ‘Muslim’ means to be a ‘good person’. He will know that Muslims
are brothers. He will love his nation and his national flag. He will be good to
all other people. He will never harm non-Muslims, tourists or disbelievers. He
will not attack their property, lives, chastity or honour. He will admonish
wrongdoers. He will not cheat or doublecross anyone. He will never quarrel. He
will treat others with a smiling face and a sweet tongue. He will always work.
He will learn his religion and science well. He will teach them to his children
and to his acquaintances as well. He will not backbite others or gossip. He
will always say useful things. He will earn a living through halâl (canonically
legitimate) means. He will not impinge on anyone’s rights. A Muslim who has
acquired these qualities will be loved by Allah as well as by people. He will
lead a life in comfort and peace.
My youth has gone by like a
sweet dream, weep, oh, my eyes!
Weeping’s made me a lunatic, the grave would lead me homewise!
