THE SINCERITY OF HAZRAT ALI

Once, during Jihad, Hazrat Ali (j), having overpowered an enemy was to strike his final blow with his sword. However, just before he could do so, this enemy spat in the face of Hazrat Ali (j).

Even though this created displeasure, Hazrat Ali (j) immediately moved away, placing his sword into its sheath. Whilst he had had the upperhand and the opportunity to kill this disbeliever, he left him;

not even considering that now his life was in danger. Such strange behaviour confused the enemy and prompted him to question Hazrat Ali (j) : “What kind of behaviour is this ? After having insulted you, you should have killed me immediately. I was under your sword, and helplessly at your mercy. Why did you let me go?”

Hazrat Ali (j) replied : “All the while, I had been fighting for the pleasure of Allah. When you spat in my face, my nafs was provoked. My anger was then not sincerely for the pleasure of Allah but due to

personal injury. Had I killed you, this act would have been tainted with the anger of my nafs. Allah does not accept any deed done without sincerity. I would have then been questioned, on the Day of

Judgement, about whether I had taken your life for my pleasure or Allah’s pleasure.” Hazrat Ali (j) was prepared to become a Shaheed (martyr), but he was not prepared to accept victory whilst it was blemished with nifaaq (hypocrisy). His Ikhlaas had such an impact on the heart of this non-Muslim that he accepted Islam.

An important point had been mentioned : “…Allah does not accept any deed done without sincerity…”

Dear Brother / Sister, 

As'salaamu alaikum va rahmatullahi va barakatuhu !!

Well and wish to hear the same from you, aameen. 

The greatest asset a father can leave behind for his children is the knowledge of dheen. Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge. 

Our too much pre-occupation with our work and other things should not deprive our children from learning the knowledge of Allah and Islam. It is a right of every muslim child to acquire the knowledge of dheen. If we don't provide our kids with a good opportunity to learn Quran and Hadith, then we will he accountable before Allah for our lapse on the day of judgement. May Allah save all of us from ignoring our primary responsibility of  imparting the correct islamic knowledge to our children. 

Alhamdulillah two of my very close friends have recently started QuranHalqa.com a medium through which they teach Quran, Sunnah, Seerah and Aqeeda to children all over the world by making use of modern day online interactive and collaboration tools like Skype.
