Bhopal:
Muslims all over the world are at the receiving end for
directing all their efforts and energies on materialism and giving
a goby to spiritualism which links them to their Creator.
Maulana Shaukat addressing intellectuals in the 63rd “Aalami
Tablighi Ijtima” (World Preachers’ Congregation) said on Sunday
that Muslims are at the receiving end everywhere despite the fact
that the amount of wealth and education possessed by the followers
of Islam the world over is much more than what they had 1400 years
ago at the time of advent of Islam during the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
and later during the rule of four of his Caliphs. The Muslims
nowadays, however, despite having everything with enormous
resources at their disposal are scorned and despised by other
communities as they have abandoned the way of life of their
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He said on the contrary 1400 years back the Muslims did not had
money-power and were even educationally backward but still shone
like zenith on the face of the earth far and wide. Thereby tribes
after tribes entered Islam due to its principles of equality,
justice, peace and tranquility as ordained by Allah Almighty to
lead a life of dignity in this world and Hereafter.
On the second day separate special religious discourses were held
for intellectuals, traders, farmers, students etc. and the
participants were asked to follow the Islamic religious tenets in
their spirit apart from the message for universal brotherhood.
Prominent “Akabreens” (Tableeghi elders) who addressed the
gatherings included: Maulana Zubair, Maulana Sa’ad, Maulana
Shaukat, Dr. Sanaullah, Maulana Mustaqueem etc.
In all 350 Nikahs were performed in the Ijtima in the evening on
Sunday after Asr prayers in the spirit of Islam by Maulana Zubair
from the headquarters of the Tablighi Jamaat at New Delhi. Before
performing Nikahs Maulana Zubair threw light on the importance of
Nikah and to perform it in a simple manner without any pomp and
show entailing extravagant expenditure.
The Ijtima will conclude Monday with mass “Dua”
(prayer) when several lakhs of people will join to seek salvation
in Hereafter and universal brotherhood and peace.
