Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Wherever you go, the Hukm (Order) of Allah Ta’ala accompanies you.
There are so many who, when
in their home-town, will be recognized as ‘Deendaar’, performing 5 times
Salaah, daily, in Jamaat and even standing in the first Saff, wearing the
dressing of the pious, etc. …However, when traveling on holiday, Salaah is left
at home, the dressing of a Muslim is left at home, the Taqwa is also left at
home. ...That which offers us protection is left behind.
The person will be on the
plane, watching the films or cartoons, or admiring and even flirting with the
air-hostesses. When at the holiday destination, he is sometimes at cinemas, or
taking a ‘survey’ of casinos or even trying his luck on slot machines. Adding
to all that spiritual harm and damage, the person freely allows his
wife and children to dress as they want, go where they want to and do as they
want – because they are on holiday. Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi ra`jioon.
This is a clear indication of weakness of faith, and hypocrisy of all
that we project. We should fear Allah Ta’ala.
Holidays do not mean we throw Islam out of the window. Being on holiday
does not give any license to disobey Allah Ta’ala. Islam is for
every moment and every breath of life. We are Muslims wherever we are.
