NASEEHAT FOR IMAAMS

Respected Aalim/Imam,

On Monday, 8th Shawwal 1441 corresponding with the 1st of June 2020, you will, inshaAllah, be given the position of leading Salaah to many Musallees after the Lockdown.

Thus far, many preparations and plans have been made by Trustees and Organisations for the return of your Musallees.

In some of those plans, you may have been included. You are well aware of what has been planned specifically for that Jamaat Salaah you are going to lead.

As an imam, generally, you are expected to make sure that the lines are in order and according to the Sunnah and Instructions of our Beloved Nabi Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam.

Nevertheless, you are aware that plans have been made against that Desire of Our Beloved Nabi Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam.

You may find, and may it be so, inshaAllah, some of your Musallis insisting on standing together as per the Instructions of Nabi Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam.

At this point, you will be under severe pressure and your Love for Nabi Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam is going to be tested.

You may choose to be the wretched one and please Ghairullah by breaking that line and insisting on what plans are made....

Or you may remember Hadhrat Abubakr Radhiyallahu anh when he was criticised for sending out the Army of Hadhrat Usama bin Zaid Radhiyallahu anh. This was an army prepared, designed and desired by Rasoolullah Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam.

It has been narrated that the words of Hadhrat Abu Bakr As Siddeeq Radhiyallahu anh were: “Who am I to withhold the army that the Holy Prophet had ordained to proceed? Come what may: let Madina stand or fall; the Caliphate live or perish, the command of the Holy Prophet shall be carried out.”

At this point, you will decide whether the Command of Rasoolullah Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam is going to be upheld by you as well.

It is my fervent dua, that despite the difficulties and the consequences of your decision, you choose the Command of Rasoolullah Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam.

inshaAllah, if you do so, even at the risk of severe reprimand, you will be raised by Allah Ta'ala in this world and the Hereafter.
May Allah Ta'ala guide you, protect you and grant you the best of Both Worlds, if you choose the Way Rasoolullah Sallalahu Alayhi wasallam.
Aameen.

You cannot be Abubakr Radhiyallahu anh, but you can emulate him!
If you do, it is my dua that you be raised with him from amongst the Siddiqqeen.

I implore all those musallis and readers of this to say Aameen and make special dua for you.

May Allah guide you to do the Right, Stand for Haq and do that which is Pleasing to Him. May Allah accept you.
Aameen.
