One day I asked BabaJi , “If our destiny is written, then what is the need for prayer?”, he smiled and looked at my face for a long time, this question arises in the minds of most people and they remain worried for a long time. If our life, our death, our progress, our prosperity, our marriage, our children, our sustenance, our honor and our bad times and our problems, if all these things have been recorded before our birth, if every second of the life of Ibn so-and-so, Ibn so-and-so and Ibn so-and-so is recorded, then what is the scope for effort and prayer?
Accept the decision of nature, lower your head, and live patiently and patiently, what is the need for you to pray during prayer, in Dargahs, after zikr and in the Kaaba and Masjid-e-Nabawi? Why do you need to give voice to your Creator, your Lord, with tears in your eyes, in a filled voice? This question arises in every mind, but most people remain silent due to blasphemy and fear.
I also wanted an answer to this question, Babaji came one day, so I put this question in front of him in fear, he smiled and looked at my face for a long time and then said, “Allah’s system is divided into two parts, one part is final and the other part optional, the final is shared for everyone, for example, every soul of the world is born and dies.” Every human being in the world needs air, food, and light.
Heat and cold also affect the Prophet and if the stones hit the body of the Prophet ﷺ, then blood will flow, if the arrow hits the blessed teeth, the blessed will be martyred, if grief comes, then you ﷺ will feel it, the temperature is fifty degrees Celsius. If it goes up, the survival of every living being will be in danger. Water is necessary for you and for the Prophet, food is necessary for you and for the Prophet, oxygen is necessary for you and for the Prophet, and so on. Light is needed by all of us and also by the Prophet, in the system of Allah, the east is the east, and the west is the west, and Allah Almighty does not change this system for anyone, we all know this system and agree with it. They are forced, while the second part is optional, this part is based on the blessings of Allah Almighty. Allah gives sustenance to every living being, this is final, but what will be the quality and quantity of this sustenance, it comes under the special blessings of Allah. A man plucks a watermelon in the riverbank in the village and eats the watermelon with his mouth in the shell, this is sustenance, another man is served in a Seven-Star hotel, in the most luxurious environment, on a precious dining table and shining. Serves watermelon on a white plate and he eats slices of watermelon with a Golden French fork. The polite and attentive waiter with his hands folded at his side is waiting for his eye signals so that the next order is not delayed!
It is the grace of Allah, it is His blessing, a person wraps his body in rags and takes a bath in the village’s dirty water and comes out with dirt on his body and another in the swimming pool of a seven star hotel. He dives in clean water with healthy chemicals and is offered a warm towel and white gown when he comes out of the water. A few steps away, a table decorated with special blessings awaits him, where he can sit and enjoy a variety of high-quality beverages.
One person begs for sustenance, wealth and need, while another person signs the paper and dozens of poor become rich, the doors of happiness of life are opened on them, their dark life shines, it is Allah’s special blessing, special grace.We all get sick, we get hurt and we get into trouble, but some of us recover quickly. Some people’s pains disappear quickly, and some people’s problems are solved very quickly, why? Because Allah’s special favour, Allah’s special blessing is upon them, it is optional and Allah has prescribed two ways for this option, they became silent.
I asked, “What are those methods?Baba Ji said, “Mercy to Allah’s creation and prayer to Allah.” I looked at him silently, he said, “If you are working for the poor servants of Allah, you are making their difficulties easy and you are working in their suffering, then Allah opens the doors of His blessings on you, and no matter what religion, class, any family you belong to, you deserve the mercy of Allah. they become. All the blessings of life are available to you, you can take the example of billionaires of Europe and America in this case, God’s grace is on Bill Gates, why? Because he made the life of man easier, he gave personal computer to man, he is providing polio vaccine to the whole world free of charge, Bill Gates also to the children of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Donated vaccine is administered. Allah has opened the doors of His blessings for Bill Gates in return for this kindness on humanity , the second way is to pray, when we pray to our Creator for life, sustenance, poverty, health, peace, fame and authority, Then Allah is happy and opens the doors of His blessings on us, if we want His mercy, His mercy, then we have to ask Him, we have to ask Him. You have to ask, they fell silent.
I said, “Are the doors of Allah’s blessings completely closed and they do not open until we ask for them?” He smiled and replied, “Allah has fixed the minimum needs of His creatures. It supplies air, water and food to the worm inside the stone. It supplies the silkworm inside its cocoon.” Provides accordingly.”
It is also feeding the insects of fire and it also provides sustenance to miles long fish imprisoned in the layers of the sea, but this fish cannot come to the surface of the water without the blessings of Allah. The silkworm will be able to look out of the “cocon” by its grace and the fire and stone insects will also be able to come out only after its blessings and this stage of life is determined by charity and prayer.
Charity is kindness to His creatures for the sake of Allah, while supplication is to ask Allah. Baba ji laughed and said, “When we are born, Allah Almighty cuts a check from the check book of blessings and puts it in our pocket. This check has the seal of approval of Allah. Just the amount and mode off. The payment box is empty, one has to pray to Allah Almighty for the amount and mode of payment and as we ask Him, He increases the digits in the amount space until it is time to cash the check. And then we are incredibly surprised and happy to see the amount and our eyes are wet with this endless mercy and compassion of Allah and our Lord also promises us that you keep thanking Me. I will continue to give you more than that, but in return, keep the promises you have made to me with a sincere heart.
I said, “But not all of our prayers are accepted.” He said, “There are also two types of prayers. One is for which we are qualified and the other is for which we are not qualified, for example passing the exam.” He will be the one who has given the exam, and the child will be given to the one who has married. In the same way, the supplication for children without marriage will not be accepted and if we do not qualify for the results, then Allah postpones the acceptance of the supplication for a short period of time.
It allows us to sit in the test first and then pass it, and if it is not possible, it selects from among our family, our generation and our friends who qualify for our prayers, Allah puts the results of our prayers in their accounts and thus the benefit of our prayers to us through them. it arrives.
The check of our prayers is sometimes cashed by our children, Allah Almighty listens to us and qualifies our children for the results of our prayers and thus we see our children becoming happy, honourable and empowered. “Baba Ji became silent, but I reached another world and started looking for those people who qualified to accept my prayers. Sometimes I see the bright faces of my deceased parents or my deceased wife. It is known that he has a big hand in the success of my married and business life. Seeing him suffering from a long illness, I used to take account of myself every day as to what the reason behind this severe trial is. My wife had a great love for the Qur’an and had a great study of the Qur’an, which is the reason that in this condition, while her whole body was paralyzed due to paralysis, but miraculously she was able to speak, hear very well and understand the Qur’an. The strength was still unsurpassed, and the face and right arm were perfectly healthy. The appearance did not at all show that She were ill.
She often cheered me up by reciting Quranic verses and I was sometimes amazed at her endurance. In the last few months of her life, her busy schedule increased, and she became completely absorbed in her worship. One day suddenly this miracle happened that two women were standing at the door of our room in the nursing home asking for permission to come in and I was surprised to see them. If you don’t mind our arrival, should we come in? But I was silent because the features of this respected lady’s face were so similar to my late mother that I doubted for a few minutes that I was dreaming.
It was only after their first meeting that both of us became convinced that this is indeed some divine help from Allah who has come to end our struggle in this hour of trouble. My wife and I fell in love with her so much that we used to wait for her every day and where the wife used to feel very relaxed talking to her on the phone, she also became such a big mountain of love and kindness for me and today she is such a “Lovely Ma’a Ji” of mine that I now consider myself incomplete without her. My wife passed away from this world on the auspicious night of 27th Ramadan, but I, who was often very worried about this accident, after my wife left the world, gave me the support of living by giving me a great gift like “Maa ji”, whose sincere prayers of the night and day are my most precious asset. Of course, when Baba Ji was referring to the prayer, my attention was repeatedly turning to “Maa ji” that the praise of prayers for everyone continued on his tongue. May Allah keep them safe and their shadow on our heads forever.
When someone helplessly mentions to me about his lost peace, I also get lost somewhere in a wonderful way, but I am sure that such a great blessing of peace is used in praying sincerely for an absent person. Do you remember all these relatives and friends in your prayers? If not, then pray for this opportunity from today!
