Satan will try his best to make you lazy, but you
should oppose him and try to read this lecture of
Ameer-e-Ahle Sunnat, Insha-Allah (azza wa jal) you
will feel a Madani transformation within yourself.

Hazrat Imam Abu Qasim Qushairi (alaihir rahmah)
reports that Allah (azza wa jal) sent revelation to Hazrat
Musa (Alai His Salaam), I have blessed you with 10
thousand ears through which, you heard my Kalaam
(words), and 10 thousand tongues through which, you
communicated with me. You would only be very
beloved and closest to me when you will send Durood
upon the beloved Rasool Hazrat Muhammad (salallahu
alayhi wasallam) abundantly. (Risalatul Qushairiah, page
377, Darul Kutobul Ilmiah, Beirut)

PUNISHMENT FOR PURCHASING A
TELEVISION FOR THE CHILDREN

Two pious friends were living in Arabia (Hijaaz-e-
Muqaddas). One was living in Riyadh and the other in
J eddah. The one who was living in Riyadh passed away.
One day the friend in J eddah saw in his dream that his
deceased friend was being punished. He asked him the
reason for the punishment. The deceased friend replied:

Although I hated movies and dramas, but because of
the persistence of my children, I bought them a T.V.
Alas, since my death, I am being punished because of
bringing the T.V. in the house. They are enjoying
dramas and movies on the T.V. and I am being punished
here in the grave. O my friend! Please be kind with me,
feel pity on me, go and explain to my family to throw
out the T.V. from the house.

In the morning, he forgot about the dream. The second
night he saw the same dream again. Therefore, he took
the flight immediately to Riyadh and gathered the whole
family and told them about his dream. After hearing the
dream everyone started weeping and the eldest son
became so emotional that he picked up the T.V. and
dropped it hard on to the ground. The T.V. broke into

3
pieces and he proclaimed: From today there will be no
T.V. in the house, because of this damned T.V. our
beloved father is being punished in the grave. The,
friend went to sleep that night and he saw his friend in
his dream again. This time, however, he was in a
blissful state. The deceased said smilingly: As my son
dropped the T.V, my punishment was over.

Salloo alal Habeeb
(Recite Durood upon the Beloved Rasool
Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)

Beloved Islami Brothers! Those who have come here
from all over India to attend the Dawate Islamis
Sunnah inspired Ijtima (congregation), taking place
under the shadow of Huzoor Sayyidi Shahe Aalam
(alaihir rahmah) in Madinatul Awliya (City of Saints),
Ahmad Abad Shareef, India, have you noticed how
destructive the T.V. is?

It is very sad that today everyone has become victim of
this harmful invention. It is sad that watching movies on
the T.V., V.C.R. or DVD is not (considered) a sinful act
by most of the people (May Allah forgive). If anyone
tries to give some advice about the destruction of T.V,
mostly the answer is, Sir, we are not eager to watch
movies. We only got the T.V. for the kids. If there is no

4
T.V. in the house, the children will go to the neighbors
house to watch the television.

Dear Islamic Brothers, will this answer bail you out on
the Day of J udgment? Never! Please remember that you
have the responsibility of reforming yourself and your
whole family.

Allah (azza wa jal) says in Surah Tahreem, verse 6.

My master, reformer of Islam, a pure lover of the
candle of prophet hood, spiritual mentor, source of
bounties, knower of the Divine Laws, supporter of the
Sunnah, greatly blessed, high ranked, Al Haj, Al Hafiz,
our chief and master, Shah Ahmad Raza Khan (alaihir
rahmahtur Rahman) translates this verse in his world-
renowned translation of Quran, Kanzul Iman:

O believers save yourselves and your families
from the fire whose fuel is men and stones.
Over it are Angels, stern and strong. They do
not disobey Allah in what He commands them,
and act as they are commanded

Hazrat Sadrul Afaazil our leader and master
Naeemuddeen Muradabadi (alaihir rahmah) writes in his
Tafseer, Khazain ul Irfaan, under the above-mentioned

5
verse: O believers save yourself and your families by
obeying Allah and His Rasool, worshiping, refraining
from sins, ordering your family the good and forbidding
them from bad and by teaching them the knowledge and
Islamic manners.

Beloved Islami Brothers, the Fire of J ahannam is very
dreadful. No one will be able to put up with it.

HORRORS OF JAHANNAM

Listen, O those who do not perform Namaaz (Salaah),
who leave fasts of Ramadaan without Sharee excuse,
who dont pay Zakaah while its payment is Fard upon
them, who cause miseries to their parents, who shave
their beards, who keep their beards less than a fistful,
who mix water in the milk (to sell), who weigh less
while selling goods, who steal, who pick-pocket, who
watch movies and dramas on the T.V. or V.C.R, who
listen to music, who provide musical instruments to
their family, who put (Satellite) dish/ aerial on the roofs
of their houses, who sell T.V. or V.C.R to those
Muslims who watch movies and dramas, who repair
T.Vs and V.C.Rs. for the same purpose, and who give
lead or cable to others to watch movies, come and listen
all of you! Hazrat Imam Hafiz Abul Qasim Sulaiman
Tabrani (alaihir rahmah) reports in Tabarani Owsat:

6
Once Hazrat J ibraeel (alaihis salaam) came in the
holy court of the ruler of Madina, leader of the Prophets,
knower of unseen with the permission of Allah (azza wa
jal), our sympathiser, possessor of fragrant perspiration,
and the intercessor on the Day of Reckoning (salallahu
alayhi wasallam). That day, J ibraeel (alaihis salaam)
came in such a time, which was not customary.
Rasoolullah (salallahu alayhi wasallam) stood up and went
towards him and said: O J ibraeel what happened? I
see the colour of your face has changed.

He replied, I have come to you for this reason, that
Allah (azza wa jal) has ordered the angels of Jahannam to
inflame the fire. The ruler of Makkah and Madina, the
Rasool of Allah (azza wa jal and salallahu alayhi
wasallam) said, Tell me the condition of J ahannam.

J ibraeel (alaihis salaam) said: With the command of
Allah (azza wa jal) the Fire of J ahannam was burning till
one thousand years and became black therefore it is
black darkness. Its sparks are not shining and flames are
not dying. Ya Rasoolallah (salallahu alayhi wasallam)! I
swear by the Name of he who has sent you as the true
Nabi. If a single cloth of J ahannam is hung between
heaven and earth, all living beings of earth will die. O
my Master! I swear by the Name of He who has sent
you with the truth, if one of the appointed Angels on

7
J ahannam appears in front of the people of this Dunya
(world), all would die by his smell (stench) and
terrifying face. I swear by the Name of He who has sent
you with the truth, if one of the links of the chains of
J ahannam is placed on the mountains of the Dunya (as it
is mentioned in the Quran), all will perish into pieces
and the link will reach till deep down into the earth.
The Beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
J ibraeel, please stop. That is enough, my heart may
burst out and I may die The Beloved Rasool (salallahu
alayhi wasallam) saw J ibraeel (alaihis salaam) weeping.
The Beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam) asked:
Why are you crying J ibraeel? You have a special
place in the court of Allah (azza wa jal). He replied: Ya
Rasoolallah (salallahu alayhi wasallam). Why shouldnt I
cry in the court of Allah (azza wa jal)? The possibility is
there; maybe in the knowledge of Allah (azza wa jal) my
situation is different compared to my present situation.
May I not be put into test like Iblees (Satan), may I not
be put into test like Haroot and Maroot.

The reporter says that Rasoolullah (salallahu alayhi
wasallam) also started weeping. Finally, a Voice was
heard. Oh J ibraeel (alaihis salaam)! Oh! Muhammad!
(salallahu alayhi wasallam) You both are saved from the
disobedience of Allah (azza wa jal). Sayyiduna J ibraeel
(alaihis salaam) flew back to the Heavens. Rasoolullah

8
(salallahu alayhi wasallam) came out and passed by some of
the Sahabah (alaihimur ridwaan) who were laughing and
playing. The Beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam)
said to them: You are laughing and the J ahannam is
behind you. Had you known those things, which I know,
you would have cried more and laughed less. You
would have left eating and drinking and would have
gone into the mountains and would have put yourselves
into hard labour in the worship of Allah (azza wa jal). A
voice was heard, O Muhammad (salallahu alayhi
wasallam), do not disappoint My slaves. I have sent you
as a giver of good tidings and have not sent you to make
things hard. Then Rasoolullah (salallahu alayhi wasallam)
said: Keep on walking on the right path and have
balance in every matter.
(Al MoJamul Owsat Hadith No. 2583, Vol 2, page 78,
Darul Fikr, Beirut)

Dear Sweet Islami Brothers! Our Rasool (salallahu alayhi
wasallam) is Masoom (sinless); rather leader of all the
Masooms and J ibraeel (alaihis salaam) is Masoom
(sinless), rather leader of all the Masoom Angels.
While holding that great station, both of them cried
when the mention was made about J ahannam. We
commit sin upon sin but our hearts are not shaken and
eyes are not filled with tears when we hear about
J ahannam. It is sad that we are not ashamed or

9
frightened when we hear the horrifying descriptions of
J ahannam.

Dear Islami Brothers! It seems that due to the repetition
of sins our hearts have become rock-hard. Ah! We have
become routine criminals. Nafs and Shaytaan do not let
us go closer to good deeds, and we do not strive for this.
Where do we have time from the business of this world?
Sad! Very sad! Day and night our hobby is to
accumulate wealth, have no eagerness for Salaah, or
enthusiasm for fasting, as we get free from the worldly
business. We run straight to watch the T.V. or play the
V.C.R to watch any silly movie and get busy destroying
our Books of Deeds. I am mentioning T.V. again. It is
the reality that T.V and V.C.R are playing a very crucial
part to destroy our society.

RESPECTED MOULANA! WHO IS THE GUILTY
ONE?

All those who watch movies and dramas with pleasure
and pride! Listen carefully! Someone gave me a letter of
a ruined girl in Makkatul Mukarammah and the matter
was as follows:
We already had T.V. in our house. One day our father
got hold of extra money in his hand and he put the
(Satellite) dish (with many T.V. channels) in our house.

10
We could now watch foreign films as well as the local
ones. A girl-friend in the school said to me, If you
watch channel so-and-so there are lots of exciting and
sexual scenes to enjoy. One day, I was alone at home
and turned to that particular channel, while viewing the
different sexual scenes I was affected by uncontrollable
lust. I went out of the house in that state of restlessness.
Co-incidentally, a young man passed by in a car close to
me. He was alone in the car. I asked him for a lift and he
picked me up. I happened to commit the shameless act. I
was not a virgin anymore. I had a spot of disgrace on
my forehead and I have destroyed myself. Respected
Maulana! Please tell me who is the guilty one, me or my
father who brought the T.V and then the (Satellite) dish
into the house?

Ah! Like this, how many honors are damaged because
of watching movies on the T.V. and V.C.R? We dont
know how many young people are destroyed in this
world (destruction of the Hereafter is still to follow).

RUINED YOUTH
A young man wrote me a letter. The summary of the
letter is as follow:
I have recently joined the Mahol (atmosphere) of
Dawat-e-Islami. One night, during the early part of the
night, I was busy in my room repenting at my sins while

11
crying and my hands were lifted in Dua. My father got
worried because he heard me crying and came to my
room. As he was ignorant about the spirit of Dawat-e-
Islami he couldnt understand the cause of my crying.
He held my arm and took me to his room. He switched
the T.V. on and said to me, dont just become Moulvi
(Moulana, Aalim). Now and again watch this too
(referring to the T.V.). Since being in the Madni
atmosphere of Dawat-e-Islami I avoided watching the
movies and dramas, but my father forced me to watch
T.V. At that time there was a drama being played in
which, young attractive girls with barely any clothes on
were on the screen, and this aroused me sexually. Ah! A
little while ago I was repenting and crying in the Court
of Allah (azza wajal) of His fear but now the carnal
desires conquered me. Shaytan found this as an
appropriate moment and attacked me. While sitting
there I used my hands for sexual pleasure till I relieved
myself. After this incident once again, I was gone into
the filth of sinful life. Customs and the norms of society
were the obstacle in my way in terms of marriage, and
to fulfil my desires. I destroyed my youth with my own
hands, and now the condition is such that I am incapable
of getting married (meaning he can not have
intercourse). Please tell me who is blameworthy, my
father or me?


12
Dear Sweet Brothers! We have to acknowledge that the
society is full of sins because of the T.V. Young
children are seen on the roads, rocking and dancing due
to watching dramas, movies and listening to music. Ah!
The violent flows of movies, dramas, music and songs
has left us lost. If we want the success of the Hereafter
for ourselves and for our families we must to remove
T.V. and VCR from our homes.

Listen carefully! Allah (azza wa jal) says in Sura
Luqmaan, Verse 6:

And there are some among the people who buy
words for mere playing that they may mislead
others from the path of Allah, without
knowledge and to make fun of it. For them is a
humiliating punishment. (Translation from
Kanzul Iman)

NOVELS AND STORIES

It is written in Tafseer Khazain ul Irfan under the
above-mentioned verse: Anything which prevents
someone from good and useful things and puts him in
negligence is called lahv. This verse was revealed for
Nazar bin Harith bin Kaldah who used to travel to many
countries for business purposes. He bought the books of

13
Ajamis (non Arabs/Persians) in which there were
stories. He used to relate those stories to the Quraish
(name of an Arabian tribe). He used to say that
Muhammad (salallahu alayhi wasallam) tells you the stories
of Aad and Samood and I will tell you the stories of
Rustam, Isfand Yaar and the Persian royal personalities.
Some people became busy in listening to the stories and
because of the delay they could not listen to the Quran.
Thus, this verse was revealed. Those who read and
listen to romantic and suspense novels, love fictions,
stories of evil spirits and jokes (sitcoms) must learn a
lesson from this verse.

It is mentioned in Fatawa Razaviah (Vol 23, page 293,
Raza Foundation, Lahore) Some of the great Sahabah
and Tabeeen, for example, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin
Masood, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, Sayyiduna
Saeed bin J ubair, Sayyiduna Hasan Basri and Sayyiduna
Ikrimah, Mujahid and Makhool etc (radi allahu anhum)
have translated the word Lahval Hadith as music and
songs, because this is a very strong means of making a
person careless in respect of Allah (azza wa jal).






14
GET RID OF DRUMS AND OTHER MUSIC
INSTRUMENTS

Oh! those who run to music centres, who listen to music
and songs, who play music at shops, in the cars and
busses! Oh! singers (artists)! All of you listen carefully!

The ruler of Madinah and chief of Makkah, our beloved
Nabi (salallahu alayhi wasallam) has said: Allah (azza wa
jal) has sent me as a mercy to the entire universe. He has
sent me to get rid of the musical instruments, which are
played with the mouth and hands and He has sent me to
demolish those idols, which were worshipped in the
time of ignorance. Allah (azza wa jal) has said by
swearing on His Honour that a person who drank a sip
of wine will be given a boiling sip of water from
J ahannam to drink, whether he is to be punished or will
forgiven (he has to drink that sip), a person who will
make a child drink a sip of wine he will have to drink
the boiling water of Jahannam. It is Haraam to do the
business of singing women (buying and selling them, or
hiring them and promoting etc), to teach music and
songs and the business of musical instruments.
(Musnade Imam Ahmad, Hadith No. 22281, Vol 8, page
286, Darul Fikr, Beirut)



15
BOILING WATER

Dear Islami Brothers! Please contemplate! Our beloved
Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam) whom we claim to love!
Allah (azza wa jal) has ordered him to abolish the
instruments of music, like drums, guitar, flute, etc. But
today the unfortunate Muslims are regarding the musical
instruments as the most prized objects. Ah! Our master
(salallahu alayhi wasallam) wants to abolish the musical
instruments and his slaves have opened up music
centres in every street. No! No! Rather every house is a
music centre today. In this Hadith there is warning for
those who drink alcohol. The boiling water of J ahannam
will be given to them to drink. As the bowl will get
closer to his mouth, the skin of his face will fall into the
bowl because of the heat of the water. When this water
will reach the stomach, it will cause devastation therein
and will crush the intestines into pieces and will push
them out through anus.

PIGS AND APES

It is mentioned in Umdatul Qaari Vol 14, page 593,
Darul Fikr, Beirut that our beloved Nabi (salallahu
alayhi wasallam) said, Near the day of Qiyamah a group
of my ummah will be mutilated/disfigured into pigs and
apes. The Companions (radi allahu anhum) asked the

16
beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam), Even if they
believed in you that you are the Messenger of Allah
(azza wa jal) and there is none worthy of worship but
Allah (azza wa jal)? The beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi
wasallam) replied, Yes, even if they perform Salaah,
keep fasts and perform Haj, etc. The question was
asked again, What will be their offence? The Beloved
Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam) replied, They will
listen to the songs in womens voice, play with the
musical instruments and drink alcohol. They will spend
night in this way and will be transformed into pigs and
monkeys in the morning.

There is Hadith in Jame Tirmizi, Hadith No. 2219, Vol
4, page 90, Darul Fikr, Beirut: The beloved Rasool
(salallahu alayhi wasallam) said: There will be incidents of
people being pushed into the ground, downpour of
stones and disfiguring in my Ummah. The Companions
asked, When would that happen? The beloved Rasool
(salallahu alayhi wasallam) replied, When there will be the
tradition of the songs, musical instruments and people
will consume wine

Ah! Today, for every little thing (event) the music is the
order of the day. Dear Islamic Brothers! Will you still
not avoid watching TV, VCR, singing, dancing and
listening to or playing music?

17
THE EARNING OF MUSICIANS AND SINGERS
IS HARAAM

It is mentioned in Kanzul Ummaal, Hadith No. 40682,
Vol 15, page 99, Darul Kutob Al Ilmiah, Beirut that
Our beloved Nabi (salallahu alayhi wasallam) has said, I
have been sent to demolish the musical instruments,
and He (salallahu alayhi wasallam) further said, The
earning of singing men and women and the prostitute is
Haraam. Allah (azza wa jal) has made it compulsory that
He would not place that person into Paradise whose
body is nourished with Haram earnings.

Ah! Sad! Singers, artists, musicians and dancers are
earning the Wrath of Allah (azza wa jal) because of a few
coins, temporary fame and greed. By inviting the Wrath
of Allah (azza wa jal) they are organizing in their graves
the terrifying Fire of Hell, petrifying snakes and the
presence of scorpions.

It is mentioned in Kanzul Ummaal Hadith No. 40662,
Vol 15, page 96 that Hazrat Sayyiduna Anas (radi
allahu anhu) reports that a person who sits with a singer
and listens to songs, Allah (azza wa jal) will pour
liquefied copper in his ears. Ah! I Wish that the playing
of music could end in hotels, shops, cars, buses and the

18
recitation of Quran, Durood and Salaam, Naats and
Sunnah inspired lectures could be played everywhere.

REPEATED KNOCK OF THE STICK

Hujjatul Islam, Hazrat Imam Muhammad Ghazzali
(alaihir rahmah) reports in his book Mukashifatul
Quloob page 297, Darul Kutob Al Ilmiah, Beirut that
Hazrat Sayyiduna Imam Shafaee (alaihir rahmah) says
that the repeated knock of the stick is also unlawful
because this was invented by the Zindeeqs (religious
hypocrites) so the people could stay careless from the
recitation of the Holy Quran.

Hazrat Allama Shaami (alaihir rahmah)

writes in Raddul Mukhtaar Vol 9, page 566, Darul
Kutob Al Ilmiah, Beirut that dancing, mocking and
joking, clapping, playing the guitar, blowing the flute,
anklet with small bells and beating the bugle, all these
are Makrooh Tahreemi (Haraam)because these are
symbols of the Kuffar (non-believers). Furthermore, the
flute and other music are Haraam to listen to. If one
hears it unintentionally, he is excused, but it is Wajib
(compulsory) upon him to try his level best not to listen
to it again.

PLACING FINGERS INTO THE EARS

Sweet Islamic Brothers! Fortunate are those Muslims
who listen to the words of Allah (azza wa jal), praises of
the beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam) and the
Sunnah inspired lectures, and they strive not to listen to
film songs and music. Rather, they perform the Sunnah
of placing their fingers into their ears when the sound of
music reaches them. Hazrat Sayyiduna Naafe (radi
allahu anhu) says that, in my childhood I was going
somewhere with Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (radi allahu
anhu). Suddenly, a musical tone was heard. Ibn Umar
(radi allahu anhu) placed his fingers into his ears and
moved from that path and after going faraway he asked,
O Naafe is the sound of music still coming? When I
said that it has stopped, only then he removed his
fingers and said, once I was going with the beloved
Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam) and he did the same, as I
did (Abu Dawood, Hadith No. 4924, Vol 4, page 307,
Darul Fikr, Beirut)

PRIZE FOR REFRAINING FROM THE MUSIC

Sweet Islamic Brothers! One who guards himself from
listening to music, listen to the prize of that fortunate
being. Hazrat J abir (radi allahu anhu) reports the

20
fragrant saying of the beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi
wasallam): Allah (azza wa jal) shall say on the Day of
J udgment, Where are those who used to protect their
eyes and ears from Satanic Mazameer (music)? Separate
them from all the groups. The Angels will separate
them and make them sit on the hillocks of musk and
amber. Then Allah (azza wa jal) will say to the angels,
Make them listen to My Tasbeeh (Praise). The Angels
will recite the Zikr of Allah (azza wa jal) with such
melodious voice that no ear has ever heard that type of
voice before. (Kanzul Ummaal Hadith No. 40658, Vol
15, page 96, Darul Kutob Al Ilmiah, Beirut)

BLESSED WITH THE VISION OF THE
BELOVED MASTER (salallahu alayhi wasallam)

I have a Madani request to every Islamic brother and
sister who have watched movies/dramas or listened to
music. Perform 2 Rakaats Salaah-tul-Taubah and whilst
crying truly repent from this sin, rather, from all sins.
Make a promise with Allah (azza wa jal) that in future we
will never go near the movies/dramas and music. The
heads of the families must make sure that the T.V and
V.C.R are thrown out of the house.


21
Once, a few army officers came to visit me. An officer
reported to me his own incident swearing in the name of
Allah (azza wa jal).
A Muballigh of Dawat-e-Islami gave me some
cassettes of your lectures. After listening to them, I was
stunned. Especially a certain incident mentioned in one
of the cassettes had a great impact on me.

A pious man of Sindh (a province in Pakistan) related:
Once I went to the graveyard. I sat next to a grave and I
took a nap. I dreamt that the person in that grave, was
being punished. That person was telling me whilst
crying Help! Help! I said, How can I save you from
the punishment? He said, I have a house in the next
village. The house number is such-and-such. I have a
son. Now, he has switched on the T.V. whenever he
watches a movie or drama, the punishment is set upon
me. Ah! I did not mould him according to the correct
Islamic teachings. I have provided him with the T.V! I
got up. I went to the said village he mentioned and
found his son and told him about the dream. He started
weeping. He repented there and then and threw the T.V.
out of his house.

The army officer said, After listening to this incident
from the cassette I was shivering with the Fear of Allah
(azza wa jal). I called all my family members and

22
explained the issue to them. Alhamdulillah!
Unanimously, we moved the T.V. out of our house. By
Allah! After one week, my wife was blessed with the
vision of the beloved Rasool (salallahu alayhi wasallam)
and he (salallahu alayhi wasallam) said, Congratulations!
Allah (azza wa jal) has accepted your deed of moving the
T.V. out of your house.

He came to the house; that was his generosity and
kindness
Otherwise this house was unsuitable for his landing
