Amazing incident: Learn to Respect |
He
was a doctor.
It
often happened that he would write on the prescription for the dispenser not to
take money from the patient.
And
when the patient asks why did you not take the money, doctor?
So
they would say, "I am ashamed that whoever's name is Abu Bakr, Umar,
Uthman, Ali or Khadijah, Aisha and Fatimah."
So I
take money from him.
Throughout
his life, he did not take money from people in the name of the Rashidun
Caliphs, the Mothers of the Believers, and the Prophet's daughters.
It
was his strange style of love and literature.
Imam
Ahmed bin Hanbal was performing
ablution on the canal and his disciple also came to perform ablution, but
immediately got up and sat down ahead of the Imam.
When
asked, he said that he thought that water was flowing from my side and coming
towards you. I was ashamed that the teacher should perform ablution with my
used water.
The
Messenger of Allah, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, asked his great-uncle Hazrat Abbas, "Are
you older or me?" (He meant to ask about age).
Mujaddid
Alf Sani used to take this precaution while
sleeping at night
That
the feet should not be towards the teacher's house and they used to be careful
while going to the toilet
That
no ink should be left on the hand of the pen with which I am writing.
This
style of literature has been a distinctive feature of Islamic civilization and
it was not unique to the sub-continent, but wherever Islam went, under the
influence of its teachings, a similar culture was created in which the
literature of adults was of special importance because Everyone remembered this
saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
that he who does not respect the elders and does not love the children is not
one of us.
Not
much time has passed
That
people considered it bad to sit at the same level as their parents, walk in
front of them and speak louder than them and were proud to follow their orders.
Allah
used to bless him with his charity.
It
was known in Islamic societies that whoever wants Allah to increase his
sustenance should pay the right of his parents.
And
whoever wants Allah to increase his knowledge, he should study the teacher.
A
friend says that
I
collected money with great effort and bought the plot, then my father said,
"Son, your so-and-so brother is weak. If you give this plot to him, I will
give you prayers."
Although
he was disobedient to his parents. He (the friend) says that common sense
explained that doing this is foolishness, but I told common sense that Iqbal
said,
It
is good to keep the mind with the heart, but sometimes leave it alone.
So
he left the intellect alone and gave that plot to his brother.
They
say that father was very happy and it is thanks to his prayers that today I
have many houses and plazas while my brother has only one house on the same
plot.
Like
the parents, the teacher's literature was also a distinguishing feature of
Islamic societies
And
its continuation was also going on from the time of the Companions.
When
Ibn Abbas, the son of the Prophet's uncle, went to get a hadith from a
companion, he would go and sit at his door. Knocking on his door was also
considered against etiquette and when those Companions would go out on their
own for some work, they would ask him for hadith and during this time he would
sweat in the intense heat, and he would continue to bear it. Those Companions
would have been ashamed and would have said that you are the son of the
Prophet's uncle. Don't bother you.
How
long has it been customary in our education system (even today in Islamic
schools) that the teacher of each subject had a room, he would sit there and
the students would come to study there by themselves, while now the students
are sitting in the classrooms.
And
the teacher goes to them all day long.
In
Muslim cultures, this matter was not limited only to parents and teachers, but
similar precautions were taken in the case of other relationships as well.
There was small, small and big, big. The small did not become big with age but
remained small.
Ibn
Umar was going when he saw a Bedouin. Dismounted, treated him with
great courtesy and presented him with many gifts.
Someone
said that this is a Bedouin, he would have agreed even a little.
He
said that he used to visit my father, so I felt ashamed that I did not respect
him.
When
the Islamic civilization was weakened, like many other things, this value of
keeping ranks also lost its importance. Now equality was broken and children
stood on par with parents and students on par with teachers, which brought all
the defects that exist in western civilization.
Islam
is not convinced of the equality in which Abu Bakr and Abu Jahl are equal.
Abu
Bakr will remain Abu Bakr and Abu Jahl will remain Abu Jahl. In the same way,
the teacher will be the teacher and the student will be the student. The father
will be the father and the son will be the son. Everyone has their own place
and their own place - keeping them in their place and giving respect to them is
the beauty of civilization.
The
biggest attack of Western civilization on Muslim societies (perhaps) has been
through this way, when Muslims understand nudity and obscenity.
Everyone
understands that nudity and obscenity are bad
That
is why it is easy to act against it, while it is difficult to understand the
importance of etiquette and manners of love
Therefore,
this value is rapidly declining.
Please
Respect Others.
