The next great event which will be discussed in this blog series is mentioned in chapter 19 Maryam, verses 12-14:
“[Allah said], “O John, take the Scripture [i.e., adhere to it] with determination.” And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy. And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah. And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.”
Some of the qualities of the Holy Prophet Yahyah, peace be upon him, are discussed which muslims must strive to adopt. It is important for muslims to gain and act on useful knowledge as this is true wisdom and fine judgment. A wise person uses their knowledge in such a way that it benefits them and others in both worlds. Knowledge by itself does not achieve this result. This is why there are plenty of people who possess much worldly and religious knowledge yet, are lost in misguidance as they do not apply their knowledge in the correct way. The best way to achieve this is to gain knowledge and apply it according to the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, as none has been granted such wisdom as him. Chapter 62 Al Jumu’ah, verse 2:
“It is He who has sent among the unlettered [Arabs] a Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Quran] and wisdom [i.e., the Sunnah] – although they were before in clear error.”
Muslims should strive to purify their heart as this will lead to the purification of the body. This has been confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 4094. The best way to achieve this is by fulfilling the commands of Allah, the Exalted, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. Acting like this is the only way one can gain true purity which extends to all aspects of their worldly and religious life. This purity is the of foundation of piety.
It is important to be respectful and dutiful to one’s parents. As long as their wishes do not contradict the teachings of Islam a muslim should strive to fulfil them and be merciful to them just like how they were merciful to their child during their childhood. Simply put, if the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded muslims to be respectful to one’s parent even if they are not muslim can one imagine how much respect muslim parents deserve? This has been advised in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 5979.
One should not behave like a tyrant towards Allah, the Exalted, through disobedience to Him. Nor to others by wronging them or to themself by using the blessings they possess in the incorrect way. If they fail to sincerely repent this behaviour will only lead to a severe punishment on a Great Day.
