When
a man steps to any sphere of life, he is naturally pushed by the idea of having
any good example to enjoy the carrier, he has adopted, and to live on the
correct line. He is also desirous of solving his day to day problems through
the experiences of his predecessors and making his life better and better.
Allah
is our greatest care-taker, friend and sympathizer. First he chalked out the
codes to idealize our lives, than He heralded these codes to us through His
messengers. These codes do not imply on
personal benefit, to be achieved by Allah. But on the contrary, all the codes
of laws are framed with a bid to benefit us. When one lack 24 thousand messengers
did their job and appraised the mankind about what goes in their interest and
what against their interest, Allah gave a last touch to this Legal package and
sealed the same lest it be distorted. Our friend is Allah, the Lord of the
Universes, and the friend of Allah is our Prophet, the Mercy of the world. So
when the Mercy of the world, the friend of the Lord of the world, came to this
world, he kept before his eyes all the rules, framed by his co-messengers and
scrutinized all the distorted versions, as ventured by their followers, and
chalked out a comprehensive life code, conducive to all human beings for its
rich and ferocious provisions, and applied the same code to every inch of his
life-path setting himself a paramount example for the mankind.
The
friend of Allah, the Lord of the universes is the Mercy of the world: Hazrat
Mohammed (P.B.U.H. ) S/o Abdullah. The life of our Prophet is an expression of
all the affairs and phases, through which the mankind has to pass till the Day
of Resurrection. So his life on the whole is his biography. The hallmark of
this biography is that it guides the man simultaneously in all walks of the
life, and that it has never been a monopoly for a particular nation, or
particular country or particular era. His life and biography are the asset for
all the universes, created by the Lord
of the universes, and it is within the reach of any person in this world to
improve his life in the light of our Prophet's Luminous memoirs. There is no
aspect of etiquette, sociology, courtesy, justice and redemption of the
promise, unseen in his life.
BUSINESS:
The
most conspicuous feature of a businessman or a trader is that he should hanker
after good dealing and be bound to accomplish his promises, and be a man of
composure. If these three qualities are not found in a businessman, be may not
emerge as a leading businessman.
REDEMPTION
OF PROMISE:
It
is narrated by a follower that he entered in a deal with the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
in pre-Islamic period. This deal was not finalized and he was compelled to
return. He promised Him (P.B.U.H.) to return back after a short time.
He
forgot his promise and after a long time recollected it. When he returned , he,
to his utter astonishment, found Him (P.B.U.H.) waiting for him. He (P.B.U.H.)
only commented undisgruntled: You troubled me a lot: I have been waiting for
you since a long time.
JUSTICE:
When
Makkah was conquered by Muslims, they cordoned Taif for about (20) days. All
their efforts to conquer Taif proved futile and they were compelled to lift the
cordon. Sakhr was a community chief. He intervened in this matter and managed
the Taif dwellers to sign a treaty. He intimated the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) about
this new situation. When Taif came under the Islamic umbrella, Hazrat Mugheerah
Bin Shoba (R.A.), who was a native of Taif, came to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and
told him: I seek your justice! My paternal aunt has been detained by Sakhr. She
should be returned to me. The prophet
(P.B.U.H.) ordered Sakhr to return her to Mugheerah (R.A.). Likewise some
persons of Bani Saleem came to Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and complained that Sakhr has
captured their land and streams. He (P.B.U.H.) ordered Sakhr to return their
properties to them and told: When a man comes under the Umbrella of Islam, he preferably
deserves his land and property.
If
you cast a deep perspicacious glance on the friendship and relations, you shall
conclude finally that the foundation of friendship and love is cemented by
sincerity and mutual sympathy and co-operation. Please see what was our
Prophet's behavior to his followers as a companion and friend?
In
one outing, the followers (R.A.) wanted to prepare the food and every person
took the charge of one department. Our Prophet (P.B.U.H.) offered to cut down
the wood from the jungle. The followers told: Our parents be sacrificed for
you, please don't take any pain. We are enough to do any thing. The Prophet
appreciated their respectful feeling for him and told: Allah does not like the
person who magnifies himself.
ECONOMICS:
The
Prophet (P.B.U.H.), stepping towards creating the solutions to the problems of
labours, laid stress to pay out the wage of a labour before his sweat is dried
out. Having deracinated the capitalistic mentality and system, he opened wide
before the world, the door of peace, welfare and a high character.
Among
the ticklish problems created by the biased mammonites much to the Chagrin of
the mankind, are the black marketing and hoarding. Our Prophet (P.B.U.H.) has
accounted those, who hoard the food grains and other consumer's goods for their
exploitation on price hike, for a heavy responsibility.
He
(P.B.U.H.) said: sinners are those who hoard the food grains and other things
to create a false scarcity.
He
(P.B.U.H.) also said: Allah showers His mercy on those who do not adopt a rigid
stand in business and in demanding for the repayment of the loans.
THE
FRIEND
It
is narrated by Anas (R.A.) that a person was in the presence of Prophet
(P.B.U.H.). A man passed by him. He told: O Prophet of Allah! I love him! The
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) asked him if he had intimated him. When he answered him in
negative, the Prophet ordered him to intimate him of his love. He chased him
and told: I love you for the sake of Allah. for the sake of whom you love me.
To
establish the love and friendship on stable grounds and to make the relations
purposeful and intact, you should take a keen interest in your friends affairs,
and try your level best to solve their baffling problems,. The friendship also
requires you to keep you in close touch with the family members of your friends
and to regard them as your own family members.
Don't
forget the equanimity and balance in the friendship. Don't display the
indifference that hurts the hearts of the exaggerated form of friendship that
you are unable to maintain. The moderation is a sign of success and godspeed as
the Hadith reads:
"Love your friend slowly, he may turn one day
your enemy. And hate your enemy slowly he may turn one day your friend."
Don't
underrate your friend, you should lift him as high as possible, pursuant to the
principle of well-wishing and consolation. Our Prophet says:
"The Religion is the well-wishing".
If
you are well-wisher for someone, you should love for him what you love for
yourself, and it goes without saying that a man does not love for him but what
is good.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
