The Fifth Talk Do we have the capability
of piety(taqwa) Aand remembrance (Tazakkar) of Allah
After living long years we have not drawn any benefit
from knowledge of the Faith. May Allah protect us from
compounded ignorance ( Jahl e Murakkab). We
have earlier said that the first aspect of Ista-aaza
is Taqwa or piety. One who has not adopted
taqwa, will not be able to escape from Satan.
Only with piety one can keep out of the clutches of
Satan.
A woman who can come to the bazaar wearing indecent
dress is satanic from head to toe! And the man who chaperons
such a woman in public can never escape from the attention
of Satan.
It goes to prove that one who doesn't save himself from
the illegitimate (Haram) can never prevent
himself from the influence of Satan.
If a person dwells in a usurped house, he cannot escape
from the Satan unless he quits the occupation of that
house. If a person is in habit of doing taboo things,
he cannot do Ista-aaza.
