Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) once mentioned the following:<\/p>\n
When inviting people to come out in the path of Allah Ta\u2018ala for Da\u2019wat and Tableegh, then don\u2019t tell people, \u201cGive us three days, or give us five days, or give us seven days.\u201d Rather, tell them, \u201cThis is the path of deen. How much time you are able to give, you should give, and according to how much you strive, that is how much you will benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
The reason is that there is no beginning point or end point in this effort of deen (rather, throughout one\u2019s life, one should continue striving for deen). This effort of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) surpassed the effort of all the Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam) (as Allah Ta\u2018ala caused the deen of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), the kitaab of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and everything that is connected to Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and his effort to be the greatest in the world).<\/p>\n
Therefore, the one night and one day of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) (which was directly connected with Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)) was such that Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) felt that his entire life\u2019s good deeds could not reach it. Hence, what limit can there be to the benefit and progress that one can make through connecting himself with this effort of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)?<\/p>\n
This effort can be compared to a gold and silver mine. The more you will dig and go deeper in it, the more gold and silver you will take out (i.e. the more you strive, the more benefit you will acquire).\u201d (Malfoozaat Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) pg. 92)<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n The night of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) which Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) regarded greater than his entire life\u2019s good deeds was the night when Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) remained with Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) in the cave of Thawr during the hijrah. It was during that night that he served Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) alone with honour and tried his level best to protect him against the kuffaar. It was also on that night that Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was bitten by a snake while remaining in the cave trying to protect Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).<\/p>\n The day of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) which Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) regarded greater than his entire life\u2019s actions was the day when Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) fulfilled the command of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to send the army of Hazrat Usaamah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) out in the path of Allah Ta\u2018ala in jihaad against the Romans. After Rasulullah\u2019s (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) demise, the Muslims faced many challenges (of certain people turning apostate, others not wishing to pay zakaat, etc.).<\/p>\n On account of these challenges, the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum), including Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), did not wish to send the army of Hazrat Usaamah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) immediately, but rather wished to send it later on. It was only Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) who stood firm and fulfilled the command of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) immediately. Thereafter, when Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and the other Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) saw that Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was on the haq, they all followed him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) once mentioned the following: When inviting people to come out in the path of Allah Ta\u2018ala for Da\u2019wat and Tableegh, then don\u2019t tell people, \u201cGive us three days, or give us five days, or give us seven days.\u201d Rather, tell them, \u201cThis is the path of deen.
