In the name of Allah (s.w.t)
I invite you all servants of Allah and my own self towards divine Taqwa and emphasize you to adopt
Taqwa in your life and in all the affairs of your life. You should make Taqwa as the foundation of life.
Allah (s.w.t) has granted creation to man and for the perfection of that creation made the system of
guidance and for the effectiveness of guidance established Taqwa. Taqwa is the divine way of living
which is established by Allah whose specialty is that it grants a secure life, whereby man is secure from
calamities in this world and from chastisement in the hereafter. If Taqwa is not there, man is
annihilated in this world as well as hereafter.
Quran has mentioned various dimensions of Taqwa amongst which one is mentioned in Surah Taha
verse 132
ها ل نسألك رازقا نن ن رزقك والعاقابة لالوأمر علي لصلةا واصطبا {132} ت قوى أهلك با And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give
you subsistence, and the (good) end is for possessors of Taqwa.
In these verses the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) has been informed about certain instructions.
In the verse 129
ا مدا رب اك ق بل طلوعا الشمسا وق بل غروبا على ما ي قولون وسب اح با ا الليلا فسب اح و فاصبا مان ن {130} وأطراف الن هارا لعلك ت رضى
Bear then patiently what they say, and glorify your Lord by the praising of Him before the rising of the sun and
before its setting, and during hours of the night do also glorify (Him) and during parts of the day, that you may
be well pleased
ن يا لان فتان هم هم زهرة الياةا الد ن ن يك إال ما مت عنا باها أزواجا ما فايها ورازق رب اك ول تدن عي ر وأب قى {131} خي
And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor
of this world's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance (given) by your Lord is better and more
abiding.
لصلةا واصط ها ل نسألك رازقا نن ن رزقك والعاقابة لالت وأمر أهلك با علي {132} قوى باAnd enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give
you subsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil)
After all these verses it is said that the end is for Taqwa. In some verses it is mentioned that the end
is for Muttaqeen.

The instructions which are given to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) in these verses from 130 is the
elaboration of Taqwa which is the practical Taqwa. It is related to the affairs of human life. Taqwa is
not something else other than the routine affairs whereby adopting divine ways in these affairs is
Taqwa. If man is doing business and if the ways of doing business is divine then this is Taqwa. If man
does business as per market trend, speaks lies, deceives people and then at the time of prayers stands
for it, closes his shop and comes to Masjid then thinks he is a big Muttaqee is a deception. A person
with Taqwa is the one at the shop in buying, selling and who adopts divine ways of dealing in routine
life; he is Muttaqee.
Due to improper exegesis of Taqwa it has been misinterpreted as a separate topic and hence this
misunderstanding got developed that we can live our routine life whichever way we want but during
ordained time for worship if we do it then we become Muttaqee. Whereas Quran does not say like
this that man leaves the affairs of life separately and only comes for worship and he becomes
Muttaqee.
There is one reaction and opposite action in regards to the affairs of people. As you are living in a
society others also have relationship with you; deal with you, they accept your word, deny it; they
sometimes praise you and sometimes criticize you; these are social behavior and within these the style
of people with Taqwa and those without Taqwa are different. The way Haqq and Baatil are separate
similarly the ways of human beings following the path of Haqq are different from that of Baatil. If
someone has a positive behavior towards you then what should be your approach or way towards him
and if someone has a negative behavior towards you then what should be your behavior and way
towards him. Similarly if there is a prestigious personality in society who has a special position in the
society as compared to others and Quran has mentioned about their ways. Since the Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.s) is the messenger appointed from Allah and is the leader, guide for people he is related to
everyone and he has to make everyone aware and guide them, hence people also show reaction.
We can say this is a specific subject matter of Quran related to the Etiquettes and Principles of
leadership. The Quran is mentioning how the divine leader should be; whereby divine leader here
means one who is directly appointed by Allah, or who is appointed on divine criteria’s or one who is
the leader as per divine principles. If he does not falls in this category; that is if he is not appointed by
Allah, on the instructions or laws of Allah or on the divine criteria’s then he is a Taghoot Leader even
if he takes the standard of religion in his hands.
A divine leader in his ways of leadership cannot adopt the ways of worldly leaders as it is prohibited
for him to do so. He cannot adopt the ways of world politicians, community and world leaders. For
divine leaders Allah has expressed specific etiquettes are mentioned in which verse 130, 131, 132 one
sample is mentioned
على ما ي قولون فاصبا
The prophet is asked to have patience on what people are speaking and accusing you and those who
are doing your character assassination. What should be the behavior of divine leaders against the
criticism and accusations of people? Quran says that only one behavior is permitted for you and that
is patience. The divine leaders are as such leaders of community but generally they are under pressure
of people, they are afraid of what people would say about them. The biggest fear in the hearts of
leaders is from their very own community and followers. If I think or say or do this then what will
people say. The political worldly leaders give the masses the status of Allah. Hence in order to make
the people pleased they do what the people want them to do. If people praise them they feel happy
FRIDAY SERMON USTAD SYED JAWAD NAQVI
3
and if people criticize them they become afraid. If people spread some propaganda against them they
leave their purpose and path. Quran says that you are not permitted to follow the desires of people.
You have to obey the commands of Allah whether people like it or not. You have to serve the people
but obey Allah in both situation whether people like it or not. People have their own demands and
they have expectations from leaders also that you should not go there, speak this much time, and
speak on this topic and not on this. These are demands and expectations of people. The worldly
leaders even if they are in religious attire. These are the most dangerous people who are wearing
religious attires but are leaders of world and misguidance. Amongst the leaders of disgrace and fire
these are the most dangerous. They take care of people’s words and to protect themselves from
criticism of people they abandon essential commands of religion and violate the religious limits so that
people do not talk bad about them. They do not speak the truth so that people do not create negative
views about them; hence they conceal the truth
Allah is instructing the prophet that the Taqwa which should be inside divine leaders is that they
should demonstrate patience against the criticism and words of people. Patience here does not mean
to remain silent instead it means to continue on your path irrespective of what people say and not
being concerned about they say. Sabr in Arabic means those clouds which remains still in one place
for several days and week and does not move from there. They also refer this to the flock of sheep
near the water source and does not move from their place, is known as Ghanam-e-saboor. From this
the Qur’anic terminology of Sabr means those who are out for a divine purpose, they remain firm and
do not move despite of calamities. They continue their path despite of calamities and do not leave the
purpose or change their path or remain firm on their stance. They are Sabir (patient ones) who
continue their path despite of all types of calamities. He should not be concerned if people will leave
me, I will become alone. He should remain firm on their stand.
على ما ي قولون These criticism, propaganda, accusations done by the opponents of the divine leaderفاصبا
, who are slave of desires should not be paid attention to and continue his path. In other verses, the
Quran says do not be depressed, grieved with what people say. Here it is said that you continue and
for the sake of people do not change your stand.
مدا رب اك .Second point is that you have reliance of Allah and just depend on Allah and not people وسب اح با
A worldly leader wears the attire of religion and takes the name of Allah so that people can consider
him divine. He only takes the name of Allah to deceive people. He does not trusts Allah and when a
time comes where he has to choose to take care of Allah’s commands or the orientation of people
there he will leave Allah’s command and goes by the orientation of people. He bears the hardships for
people but has trust on people not Allah. The Quran is saying against people adopt patience and do
Tasbeeh of Allah and praise Allah before sunrise and before sunset مدا رب اك ق بل طلوعا الشمسا وق بل وسب اح باا .which means do not remain negligent of Allahغروبا
ا الليلا فسب اح وأ طراف الن هارا لعلك ت رضى ن ن ا وما مدا رب اك ق بل طلوعا الشمسا وق بل غروبا وسب اح با
Then also during night time you should do Tasbeeh of Allah and during the two sides of day do Tasbeeh
of Allah , may be this might make you pleased and may be that anxiety and grief gets finished which
got developed in your heart due to people’s criticism and behavior.
Some scholars have tried to prove the five times prayers from this verse. Though with high efforts we
can derive this from this verse but Allama Tabatabai says that that guidance of Quran does not needs
FRIDAY SERMON USTAD SYED JAWAD NAQVI
4
this much efforts to be put in. This means by ignoring certain facts and applying certain other principles
then it might be possible to prove that this verse is meant for proving Salaat timing. If we do not get
into these troubles then this verse is not talking about the timings of Salaat. The direction of the verse
is not for the prayer times, instead the direction of the verse is that when a divine leader is sent for
guiding the people then the opponents, misguided ones, leaders of fire does character assassination,
accuse, do propaganda against the Prophet then what should be his behavior or we can say what
should be the Seerah of divine leader. When people condemn the divine leader what should be the
place of refuge for the leader.
When people come under pressure their refuge is the Prophet. The way Ameerul Momineen (a.s) says
that when the flames of war would be big and when the activities would be very hot and since the
numbers were less and we would be near to defeat due to lack of means, and war would get into such
a dreadful situation whereby the convictions were becoming weak; there Ameerul Momineen (a.s)
says that everyone would go in the presence of Prophet. Then the conviction, courage, braveness of
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) would become the place of refuge for us. Thus the refuge for the believers,
crusaders in the battlefield was the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) so who was the refuge of Prophet? The Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.s) would take refuge from Allah and from Allah the conviction of Prophet would
increase and from him (s.a.w.s) the conviction of crusaders would enhance. A divine leader is in more
hardship then others irrespective of whether there is war or peace, ordinary days or crisis. The
pressure on the leader is always more than the people. The ordinary people refer to their leader and
take refuge from him but under this extreme pressure whom should the leader take refuge from? He
should seek refuge from Allah and not approach or make people his support that I rely on the masses
and I am getting into this encounter. The people should refer to him and he should refer to Allah. This
is the direction of the verse. The discussion in this verse is not on the five times of prayers instead it is
on this direction which the Quran is referring to. The Salaat (prayers) is not under discussion here.
Those scholars who have inferred the five times prayers from this as per Allama Tabatabai it can be
done if we ignore many facts related to exegesis with a lot of efforts but the actual referral the verse
is doing is by expressing the direction for a divine leader. That direction is على ما ي قولون اصبا whateverف
people say you should be patient on that and you should do Tasbeeh during the day and night. In these
timings it is before sunrise and before sunset and during the night time and also on two sides of day.
In a comprehensive way that during some part of night and some part of day you should be come in
the presence of Allah and this will give you hope and make you successful. The comfort of people does
not become support for the leader and in fact it is the connection with Allah that is the support of
divine leader.
All those who were with the Prophet they would trust and rely on Prophet and Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s)
would rely on Allah. This was the same for Ameerul Momineen (a.s). In Karbala also this verse becomes
more apparent, whereby during this event of Karbala everyone would refer and rely on Sayyadus
Shohada whereas he was totally reliant on Allah. He did not took heed of what people were saying at
all. على ما ي قولون The Seerah of Imam Hussain (a.s) is a perfect exegesis of this verse. People فاصبا
started to say everything from Medina, Mecca and on his route. He was completely patient and none
of the words either in the form suggestion, criticism, and propaganda had any effect on Him (a.s).
Sayyadus Shohada demonstrated perseverance and remained firm till the end.
ن يا لان فتان هم فايها هم زهرة الياةا الد ن ن يك إال ما مت عنا باها أزواجا ما ن عي ر ول تد ورازق رب اك خي {131} وأب قى

And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor
of this world's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance (given) by your Lord is better and more
abiding.
You should not stretch your eyes means to drag, draw your vision to the extent possible; and whatever
is seen are those under the eyes of man. This is because whatever man acquires is under his eyes and
man is also going after that thing and keeps it as an objective and acts towards it which he sees. The
Quran says that under the eyes of leader those things should not be there which we have kept for
excitement, pleasure for others. From the vision personality gets identified whether he is divine or
not. In which direction he is going, what status he is at, for what is he struggling and he will be
identified by his vision and objectives which he has kept under this eyes. The means of pleasure is
what people are after but you should not have that.
ن يا لان فتان هم فايها هم زهرة الياةا الد ن ن يك إال ما مت عنا باها أزواجا ما ن عي Amongst the exterior things one of ول تد
them is Azwaj. Why have we given these means of pleasure so that we can examine you. If you are
divine, godly then see to it that these means which are given for examinations do not keep these as
targets and objectives in your eyes. Our community has been taught this as syllabus for both this world
and hereafter that if you reach these means of pleasure then you will be successful. In our culture we
consider those as successful in life who have acquired the best means of pleasure whereas Allah has
given these for examinations. In your eyes your real target and divine objective should be always there
and neither the propaganda of people should disturb, aggrieve you and weaken your courage; neither
these means of pleasure should distract you.
ر وأب قى The sustenance from your lord is goodness and always remaining. Rizq fromورازق رب اك خي
Allah are those things that are essential for the survival of creation. If these things, means do not reach
the creation it will be destroyed. That thing whose absence destroys the creation is referred to as Rizq
in Quran. We have transformed the Quranic terminology in our language and thereby confined Rizq
as food. Rizq is that grant from Allah which is essential for the survival of creation. The extent and level
of Rizq gets identified with the potential of survival present inside it. To what extent it can give survival
to Marzooq its quality will be defined by that. The one which has less potential of survival in it has low
degree of Rizq and that which has absolutely nothing for survival of man inside it will not be considered
as Rizq instead it will be destruction. Like for man there is food in abundance but all the food present
is not the means of survival instead it becomes a means a destruction and diseases for him. This is not
Rizq instead means of destruction for him. Rizq in context to food will be that in which there is survival
inside it. A person who eats only that much which is essential for survival that will be Rizq and beyond
this it will not be considered as Rizq. Allah says in this verse that Rizq has the attribute of survival inside
it. ما مت عنا باها إال Mata in Arabic refers to those means or things which provides pleasure to man for
some moments. If you keep some tasty thing in mouth which after few moments or minutes gets
dissolved. Quran says that entire worldly means are like this only; they are pleasure and taste for few
moments which will pass away quickly. There is no survival inside it means no ب قى . The opposite of
Mata means of pleasure. People have been given Mata; means of pleasure whereas to the متع is ب قى
Prophet has been given Baqa survival. For a divine leader this is the Rizq for survival. The Ummah is
after the pleasure of world whereas for the Prophet he should be after survival (Baqa).

After the first instruction that do not become victim of the propaganda of people and not care for
those instead do Tasbeeh of Allah the second instruction for the Prophet is to order his near ones and
followers for Salaat (prayers). This verse was revealed in Mecca and the Prophet is instructed to
command his followers and those under him for Salaat. In Mecca certain rituals had not become
essential. Many rituals were only for the Prophet during Mecca and certain rituals were for the close
ones and followers. The Prophet is asked to order regarding Salaat. It is there in Islamic teachings that
believers should first teach their children how to recite Salaat and till the time they are not matured
the believers should command them to do Salaat. If they do no listen then be strict on them. When
the child is very young teach him and when he is near to maturity command him to Salaat and when
he becomes matured then maintain the prayers in him. And then also ه ا علي اصطبا demonstrate و
steadfastness on prayer.
We will not question you about Rizq as to what arrangements you made for the Rizq of ل نسألك رازقا
yours and family. This is because نن ن رزقك we are the providers of sustenance (Rizq). We are Raaziq
and you are Marzooq. If you see today a big majority do not come for prayers, congregation and
religious activities because of the issues related to Rizq. Allah has made a principle for Rizq. I have
mentioned this for the theology students that there are two types of Rizq which Allah has created.
One is that Rizq which Allah has created and put people after them and they are striving for this Rizq.
As it is mentioned in supplications also where we recite I don’t know where is my Rizq? Whether it is
in sea, land, mountains and skies. I am just wandering around bewildered. This is one class of people
whom Allah has put them in pursuit of Rizq. There is one more class whom Allah has created and Rizq
is after them; they should go towards the purpose and Rizq should come after them. We are not going
to question you (the Prophet) as to what arrangements you made for the Rizq.
Today every Pakistani has this concern that if we put our children in the way of Allah then what will
happen to their Rizq (sustenance). Those children whom they put behind Rizq they are not worried
about them whereas those children they have put or want to place them on that path where Rizq will
follow them they are concerned about them. Those who have not put their children in the way of Allah
they show themselves as big supporters of seminary students, consider them as oppressed as to these
poor beings who have come in the way of Allah as to what they will eat. They are satisfied about their
own children but worried about the Islamic Seminary students as to what they will eat. This is the peak
of senselessness and they don’t have this sense that Allah has divided Rizq into two parts. One is the
measured Rizq which means Allah has made small parts of this category of Rizq and distributed it. First
you study, take degree, than do Job after which you will earn this little Rizq. The entire capital of house
is first spent on his study, then he gets a job that too by paying bribe; then become disgraced in job
after which you will get this little Rizq as salary. They are contented about this child. But for those
behind whom Allah has kept Rizq and Rizq is in pursuit of them; for those whom Allah is saying we will
not question you about Rizq; what did you do about your bread. We will not question you about this
because you are not Raaziq we are. If you want to ask from where the Rizq will come then ask Raaziq
and not Marzooq. We will give you Rizq and then the verse ends saying والعاقابة لالت قوى that the end is
for possessors of Taqwa. These are the principles and specifically for the life of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s)
this is Taqwa. A divine leader who possesses Taqwa should possess these qualities mentioned in these
verses. This is Taqwa for a divine leader and the Quran says that a good end of this life is only for those
possess Taqwa.
FRIDAY SERMON USTAD SYED JAWAD NAQVI

This is the practical field of Taqwa which Quran has mentioned for ordinary persons and also for those
whom Allah has either appointed, ordered or under certain criteria’s they are delegated for guidance
of people. Their Taqwa is separately mentioned that if these divine guides get influenced or disturbed
by the words of people then they are not with Taqwa. If they depend on people then this is not Taqwa.
if they do not consider Allah as their refuge they are not with Taqwa; if they do not remember Allah
during day and night they are not with Taqwa; if they have eyes on worldly means they are not with
Taqwa; if they have prepared for the means of eternal survival then they have Taqwa; if they have left
their near ones on their own they are not with Taqwa as they should order them for Salaat and
servitude of Allah. If they do not have patience and perseverance they do not have Taqwa. If they are
in pursuit of Rizq and for the sake of Rizq they forego their religious obligations they do not possess
Taqwa. We will not question you for Rizq and we will only question you for that which you are
ordained to do. This is all Taqwa and a good end is only for the possessors of Taqwa.
SECOND SERMON
In the current affairs of global and national the situations are very concerning. The way it has been
going on whereby the crisis are increasing and issues both globally and locally have also increased.
Three major elements of Terrorism in Pakistan
In national matters (of Pakistan) there are many issues to be pondered upon and necessary for
everyone to be attentive about. The biggest issue is insecurity which is ongoing in which some silent
periods come but this would be a mistake to consider some breaks as end of terrorism. Even though
we can listen to a slogan that terrorism is being confronted by the national and provincial forces. And
the various people who are indulged in terrorism have been killed also and many still remain but as I
have said before that those who are involved in terrorism are not the actual roots. Their end is this
only that they should be killed in a lessonful manner. The Quran says that those who are murderers,
terrorist they should be killed in a lessonful manner for others. They are killed but not in a lessonful
manner so that others should not come on this path. The actual roots of terrorism till the time are not
uprooted it will not end from Pakistan. This is because terrorism has become deep rooted and
absorbed in Pakistan in various government departments, provinces and in several places.
There are three big elements of terrorism in Pakistan which are also the causes and means for global
terrorism. Amongst these three elements one big element are the Arab nations who in a well-
established way are spreading terrorism globally and behind them are Western nations. The Western
nations do the real Satanism and Arab nations due to their love of power, ignorance are indulged into
this aggression and crime and some other nations and religious groups who are spreading terrorism
across the globe. The top of the list in them is Ale Saud who only do terrorism and nothing else. To kill
Muslims is their objective and agenda. They have taken various other steps like they have made this
force of 34 nations to kill Shias. This is just an illusion and this force will never get made but there is a
dirty, filthy mentality and thinking behind it. With this illusion we can estimate what is present inside
their minds. What kind of plans they have about other Muslims and specifically about Shiite. This is a
proven thing that this illusion of theirs will never become practical that they will make a big force with
so many nations under the command of a Pakistani and then they will do bloodshed. Though this has
happened before in Palestine whereby the accursed General Zia ul Haqq who laid the foundations of
terrorism in Pakistan killed Palestinians and it was the biggest massacre of Palestinians done in history
in their camps. Zial ul Haqq went to Jordan and from there he attacked Palestinian camps and the well-
known massacre of Sabera and Shatila where thousands were massacred in a day. The commander of
this tyrant group was Zia ul Haqq and this disgrace is still present for Pakistanis that they were involved
FRIDAY SERMON USTAD SYED JAWAD NAQVI

in this massacre. If Zia ul Haqq has done this, then once again this can be done. They are doing in
Yemen, Iraq and Bahrain and now they can be further enhanced. Now they have this plan to rent
forces from different nations to do mass killings of Muslims. As I said these are just dreams and
illusions because Allah has not handed over his system in their hands. It is Allah’s intentions on the
world and it is Allah’ promise and Allah has made such forces who knows how to keep these tyrants
within their limits. But this is their negative, filthy thinking to kill Shias which they have done in Bahrain
by finding some excuses to kill Shia. They are filing cases on Shias and then later they will send a
battalion under some Pakistani commander to kill all the Shias in one day. These are their evil
intentions and believers should be aware about them and not remain negligent. In this sequence
various activities are going on amongst which one is that Imam e Kaaba comes from Saudi at regular
intervals to do recruiting of people from here by taking emotions of people by taking ill advantage of
the Haramain there. They are hiring killers to do massacres in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria and whenever
these people visit Pakistan a new wave of insecurity starts here. They take people from here to carry
out their evil intentions. This is one element of terrorism in Pakistan whereby the Arab nations spend
money to promote, recruit terrorism in Pakistan. It is proven that the Arab nations have never spent
money for the development of Pakistan, they only spend on such activities.
The other element involved in terrorism in Pakistan are the terrorist minded and sponsored persons
inside the government organizations. There were so many attacks on Pakistani forces even on GHQ.
There were attacks on secret agencies, on their big officers and on police. All such attacks are not done
from outside but they are coordinated from inside. It came in news also that there are many elements
inside armed forces who cooperate with these terrorist. The terrorist have reached to the most
sensitive places in Pakistan and it is not possible to do all this unless the senior officers inside these
places are not involved with terrorism. This filth is lying in Pakistan which needs to be washed off. If
you kill terrorists then next day more will be born till the time these facilitators are present in the
government organizations. There seems to be no intention in Pakistan to stop the movement of Arab
nations nor to stop the officers and elements inside government organizations.
The third element for terrorism in Pakistan are the visionary foundations. Such visionary people,
thinking and like-minded ideology whose only work is to declare Muslims are infidels and then kill
them. They consider everyone who does not harmonize with them as infidel and if these visions,
thoughts keep on spreading and their scholars, mufti and madrassahs are left open where they declare
all Muslims as infidels then there is no need to find terrorists on street to kill as these factories are
running. These people have a syllabus to teach that all Muslims who are not as per your school are
infidels and they should be killed by this group. This is one big cause of terrorism. There are also other
secondary issues also which I mention somewhere else. But this is the triangle which can be
considered as the roots of terrorism in Pakistan; one is external and two are internal. The entire world
knows and even these journalists knows that external forces are doing but they don’t speak and
remain blind on these things and just express their grievances but they don’t stop the Arab nations
from this tyranny. Second they don’t do cleansing of these government officials, they don’t file cases
on them, they don’t take the names of those who have retired and no one accuses them. Then the
third is the Takfirism which has become deeply rooted in the country and not stopped. Till the time
these 3 elements are present Pakistan will not become secure. Pakistan can become secure and
peaceful when people develop the sense and when they develop sense they will not allow the foreign
elements to intervene; they will punish the inside government elements; and they can teach the lesson
to those who spread the ideology of Takfirism. These are amongst possibility but to awaken the sense
of people is more difficult then eradicating terrorism. The Pakistani nation after so many calamities
have not reached that level of awareness.

Syria- A battlefield for proxy wars
In global situations specifically in Middle East where the battle is on its peak that is Iraq, Yemen and
Syria they all have complex states there. At present Ale Saud have openly declared that we are going
to establish our relationship with Israel to confront Iran. Hence very soon they are going to do this
openly which they were doing secretly. In Syria last week America attacked Syria with the excuse that
Syrian government has used chemical weapons on their people. It is evident that Syria has become
such a land which has no windows, doors; a state in which everyone has entered finding an
opportunity to intervene. A country like Turkey has also landed their forces in Syria; there are various
groups of terrorists present there; a big number of Pakistani’s are present there cooperating with
terrorists. In Pakistan the people of the same Takfiri Ideology who have political parties, schools,
Madaris and have made nurseries for brewing terrorisms; these are people supporting terrorists.
Anyone who desires to do anything or give a message to the world they enter Syria just like it was in
Afghanistan during the cold war era of 1960 and 1980. The same days have returned now. After the
cold war ended America dominated the world for some time but again now Russia has started to
recover its old position and in fact to a certain extent has regained. Now like two beast as wolves,
fighter dogs are facing each other. When two wolves or fighter dogs come in front of each other,
before attacking they grim their teeth which is to create fear in opposition. If the opposition is weak
they get afraid with this griming. The fight of beasts start with teeth and after teeth they groan, then
bite and gradually the fight moves forward. America and Russia are both beasts and showing their
teeth. America is showing their teeth now; yesterday they have carried out an attack in Afghanistan.
They have dropped the most powerful non atomic bomb in Afghanistan; but in reality they have shown
to Russia, like showing their teeth. On the other hand Russia is also showing their teeth. The have
tested a missile in North Korea which is more powerful than an Atomic bomb using new modern
technology. North Korea is in the favor of Russia and yesterday’s statement of Russian President to
America that Trump should be aware that it is not only America which is an Atomic state but Russia,
China and North Korea are also atomic powers. This is the atmosphere being created and they are
fighting proxy wars but not on their own lands. It will be fought on Muslims lands that is Syria, Yemen,
Bahrain, and Iraq where they will settle their own accounts as well and do it for international benefits
and also cleanse the Muslim nations. They are achieving many benefits from these battles. Syria is
such a state where everyone is doing something to show someone else. The attack which America did
on Syria was not to show Syria; they did not attack any base, people or center in Syria and this attack
was also to grim the teeth. They can drop bombs in Syria as there no one cares what happens there;
it is neither American land nor Russian; if people are getting killed then what difference it makes. This
is due to the carelessness of Muslim nations and specifically the Arabs. These disgraceful Arabs have
handed over their lands to these beasts for the sake of power. These beasts are rampaging and
destroying these lands and cannibalizing them. A 1400 yrs. old culture and inheritance of Muslims.
This is the sole way of destroying Muslims whereby they trigger a war every other day in a Muslim
nation and then destroy them.
The face of global war which is being taken place and will be fought in Middle East and they want this
to become severe. America wants to drag Ale Saud in this war directly and they want to push Iran into
this battle. Till the time this direct war has been delayed because of Iranian leaders as they don’t want
war to take place between Muslims. This is due to the wisdom of Iranian leaders else the foolishness
of Ale Saud which desires this war under the pressure of America. America on one hand is weakening
Iran with sanctions and on other hand they are providing arms to Ale Saud so that this war should take
place and Shiite should get destroyed. But it is the promise of Allah that one whom Allah protects no

one can destroy them. This is their evil plan but Allah also has a plan against them by which all plans
get foiled.
Tough time ahead for Muslims of India
In Pakistan they trigger issues with India and then all the issues internally get covered. At times they
trigger such topics on media to conceal other issues. Our people are also like this only and whatever
they see on media they get entangled in it. At present they trigger issues related to India and Pakistan.
Inside India the situation for Muslims is becoming worst. The biggest Muslim province of Uttar Pradesh
which has historical status has now a Chief Minister, Yogi who is a big prejudicial person. This new
Chief Minister; Yogi immediately after becoming Chief Minister has stopped slaughter house of
Muslims as Muslims eat meat. This act of confronting Muslims is starting in this state in a dreadful
manner. They are making such an atmosphere in India that Muslims are scared.
This same group and the Prime Minister in the past have done a brutal massacre in Ahmedabad city
of Gujrat where they burnt houses, killed Muslims and did severe tyranny. They have this experience
of Muslim massacre in their hands. The Muslims are afraid that something would spark and riots will
take place. At present there is an atmosphere created against Muslims across the country. The media
is fueling this and then there are certain elements inside Muslims who also give statements to fuel
this. At present the survival of Muslims lies in their unity and coordination.
All sects, schools of Sunni, Shias, Barelvi, and Deobandi should keep aside their secondary issues and
where there is such a big population of 200 million and get united. The way an experiment was done
in the neighboring state of Myanmar where they burnt the Muslims alive and no one in the world
made any noise against them. Israel is killing Palestinians with brutality everyday but no one cares
about it in fact the Arabs are joining hands with Israel. If something similar happens with Indian
Muslims there is no one going to come to stop India because all nations have some or the other
relationship. It is necessary for the Muslims to remain alert, united and should work out a united
solution whereby all schools should be involved it. There are certain elements within Muslims as well
like in Kashmir someone from within Muslims stands up, creates a party and then raises such a slogan
which is insult for Muslims and support to the enemies. At times certain irresponsible persons for
personal, family benefits adopt such position. The situation which has happened in Pakistan today can
be prevented in India which the Muslims can do this. Those who are educated, intellectual should
spread this thought, coordinate amongst Muslims and unite them together so they can be secure. We
pray to Allah also that all Muslims whichever part of India they are, Allah should protect them from all
evils.
Perseverance of Yemeni’s
In Yemen the situation is the same as before and the Saudi elements have completely failed and Saudi
has to pay the cost for this war. The situation in Yemen is changing now. The Yemeni nation after this
much ruining and losses are still firm in defending their nation. They have lost everything but still their
courage is firm and without any support, assistance they are struggling. They are most oppressed
nation and in entire world apart from Iran they have no supporter. The entire Yemen is under siege
and those who have survived the bomb attacks are in much worst state then those martyred in
bombing; they don’t have anything to eat. They don’t allow trading or goods to reach there. There are
international fleets in the sea to prevent anything to reach there. They are not allowing them to make
any contact with them. They are forcing them to die of starvation and this threat is more than those
bombs. This cruelty is being done by Ale Saud and entire world is watching this. They don’t even
discuss this on media as if there is no nation by the name of Yemen and as if Saudi is not doing
FRIDAY SERMON USTAD SYED JAWAD NAQVI

anything. The entire Muslim world has forsaken Yemen completely and left on their own. This is Allah’s
words that if you remain like this and do not raise your voice against aggression on Muslims then one
day the same situation will happen with you also. This oppression will not stop and spread, one day
your situation will be same as theirs.
Senselessness of Iraqi groups
Similarly in Iraq, as I have said before that the situation in Iraq is complex. Iraq is not yet liberated; it
is dominated by America and Britain and they do not allow a decisive battle to wipe off ISIS who are
about to finish. There are certain groups who are prejudicial, partisans, personality followers who do
not want this battle to end because they believe if this battle would end then the credit of this war
will go to Hashad us Shabi, which is connected to Iran and Wali e Faqeeh and then all the credits will
go to Wali e Faqeeh and other personalities in Iraq will not get any name, fame. For this reason certain
groups are spoiling this encounter. Amongst this group, the most prominent senseless group is that of
Moqtada Sadr which has crossed all limits of senselessness. In this situation when the decision is near;
this group and some other similar groups are behaving in such senseless manner and have become
obstacles. The government and these parties are not allowing a decisive battle and till the time this
type of decisive battle does not takes place Iraq will remain in this destructive situation.
Bahrain
In Bahrain the people have shown perseverance and till date they have protected their leader from
the hands of these oppressive. The court has to postpone the date for the trial due to people’s
perseverance. There are various dangerous plans for Shiite to arrest them, kill them, hang them and
exile them.
Parachinar – Shia Fortress in Pakistan
In Pakistan also in Parachinar the incident that happened last week. It is clear that to make Parachinar
as target is not just a local issue and has to be seen from that same global vision. Parachinar has a Shia
power base and they want to dominate this base and weaken it is a part of strategy. They want to
make the situation in Parachinar so difficult that it becomes difficult to live there. The agriculture
breaks out and the education system shuts down then it is natural people will not stay there and
migrate to other cities of Pakistan. This is their conspiracy that to make the people of Parachinar scared
so that they leave from there and this region which was like a fortress becomes weak and can be
controlled. In this situation it is necessary that the people, scholar and intellectuals take control of the
situation. They should increase all the activities of economy, education and grow Parachinar more
than before. The people should take care of their assets and they should take care of their security.
We feel bad that in Parachinar there is one community gathered, you have weapons so till date why
the believers have not taken this step to make security arrangements. They have people also there
and means are there also so that they can make security system of their own and this can be controlled
that very easily someone can enter inside the center and blasts it. Why we don’t have our own security
system. The elders should take this step and make arrangements to stop this tyranny else if every
month such explosions happen then ruining will happen faster.
We pray to Allah to protect these Muslims and give salvation to entire Muslim Ummah from
oppression.
