WHY VIRTUES/FAZAIL OF ACTION SO IMPORTANT IN A MUSLIM LIFE
Faisal Award winner Sheikh Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi Rahimullah writes in urdu biography of sheikh ul Hadith page 251-52
Maulana Ilyas Rahmatullah well understood the
importance of Virtues of actions in connecting them with Islamic life.. It was
his deep insight of Quran and Hadith, cognition and understanding that he
realized its significance and thrilling effect of virtues (Fazail) for deriving
anyone towards the command of Allah and path of Muhammad sallallahu Alaihi
wasallam.
It is a fact that the force that is encouraging steering wheel of our life to move and by
which the world is racing is actually belief of profit.
This belief of profit actually drives a farmer out of
his bed towards his field in bitter cold and he reache dth efield even before
sunrise. And he remain in the field in scorching sun perspirating continuously.
The same belief compel a business man out of home and
travelling and involving in it leaving his luxary. The same make for a soldier
death as easy and life as difficult as he leave his beloved son at home and go
out in the battle.
These are due to certainty of benefit and expectation
of a secure future.
But above all the above mentioned examples one more belief is there
that is most certain and most secure and most result oriented. That is those
benefits that the messanger of Allah used to bring for human being. The message
given by Whaee and the books of Allah has revealed these most truthful news and
benefits. That we can name as Reward in life after death and pleasure of Allah.
In the Ahadith of virtues and Fazail these has been called as Eemaan
and Ihtisab and this is the most vital deriving force for a muslim to strive
and do good for reward in Akhirah
Maulana Ilyas used to say that knowledge of Fazail virtues take precedence
over the knowledge of Masail (jurisprudence). The virtues gives the belief on the reward in the life
after death.And this is the state of eeman to belief on unseen return blessing
and reward. And a person get ready to do Aamaal e Slaiha. The requirement of
knowing the jurisprudence detail will be only if a person is ready for doing that action. (If
a person is not ready for offering Salat for him what is the use of detail of
Faraiz and Sunnan of Salat)
To fulfill this important need Hazrat sheikh compiled the Series of
virtues
