– Owesifazane ozovala umshado, kumele azilungiselele kanjani ngokwengqondo? – Angazidlula kanjani izinkinga ezinjengokuthi “abantu bazothini”?
Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,

Ngaphezu kwakho konke, uzazama ukuqinisa ukholo lwakhe kuNkulunkulu nasezimpilweni ezizayo. Ngoba kusasa yena…
uNkulunkulu, umahluleli oyedwa enkantolo enkulu
ngokwazi kwaKhe okungapheliyo nangamandla aKhe-
ukukholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona kuyo yonke indawo, ukuthi uyabona ukuthi uyayigcina yini imiyalo yakhe nokuthi uyayithobela yini imithetho yakhe.
Lokhu kuvimbela ukubambelela kunoma yisiphi isono. Ngoba ukungabeki phambili ukukhumbula uNkulunkulu, owadala izinto ezingekho, owenza ukuphila kuqhubeke, nowenza ukuba siphinde sibuyele kuye ngemva kokufa, ngaphezu kokukhumbula abantu abambalwa, nokungesabi ukusolwa nguNkulunkulu ngenxa yokwesaba ukusolwa ngomakhelwane/izihlobo, akunakuchazwa ngengqondo, ukuqonda, ulwazi, nangenhliziyo.
Zonke izinhlobo zobungane emhlabeni
, yonke imikhakha, yonke inhlonipho, yonke imibuthano, yonke imibukiso
kuze nemnyango wethuna
Ukuqhubeka nokwenza izinto ezingalungile, ngisho noma umuntu ekholelwa ngobuqotho ukuthi akukho okuhle okuzomphumela, kubonisa ukuthi ukholo lwakhe luyabuthakathaka, ngoba ukholo olunjalo alunamandla okumvimbela ekwenzeni izono. Ukuze ukholo olusezingeni lomcabango lufinyelele ezingeni lokholo lwangempela, ikakhulukazi kule nkathi, kuyadingeka ukuba umuntu aluhlolisise ukholo lwakhe. Lokhu kusho ukuthi kufanele afunde izincwadi ezihlolisisa izimiso zokholo ngendlela yengqondo, ukuze zishumeke enhliziyweni yakhe.

Eqinisweni, akukho sigaba esinqunywa abantu mayelana nokugcwalisa noma yimuphi umyalo we-Islam. Ngoba le miyalo yafika futhi yagcwala eminyakeni eyishumi nanhlanu edlule. Kodwa, uma siqhathanisa ukholo lwethu, olunamandla amancane kakhulu okuphoqelela, nezinkambiso ezibusa kuleli khulu leminyaka,
“Akukho okufanele ukushiywa ngokuphelele uma kungatholakali ngokuphelele.”
Ngokomthetho, kulabo abangakwazi ukuzibophezela ekugqokeni izingubo zokuzithoba ngokuphelele ngesikhathi esisodwa, singaphakamisa indlela yokuthuthukisa kancane kancane / indlela yezigaba – ngomthwalo wemfanelo obhekene nabo.
Okokuqala, singacabanga ngalokhu ngokwengqondo:
Abantu abesaba ukuthi bazogxekwa. Uma bembesa, basengozini yokungamukelwa kahle ngabanye. Ngokuphathelene nalokhu kungabaza, kufanele kucatshangelwe kahle ukuthi: ngaphambi kokwamukelwa nguNkulunkulu, imithandazo yezingelosi, ukuncoma okusuka ezinhliziyweni zabakholwayo abaqotho, yini ukubaluleka kokungamukelwa kahle ngabantu abambalwa?!… Uma uNkulunkulu enelisekile, yini ukubaluleka kokuba wonke umhlaba ukuzonde?!… UNkulunkulu…
“Uqinisile mntanami!”
Yini engaba yibaluleke kakhulu kunokuthi umuntu azilungiselele ngokomoya, azi ukuthi ukunconywa ngale ndlela kudlula kude zonke ezinye izindumiso emhlabeni wonke?
Njengoba kwaziwa,
“Ukholo luyikhanya futhi luyamandla…”
Ukuze sizuze kule mandla akhanyayo okholo, kufanele siqondise leyo projektha ezingqondweni nasezinhliziyweni zethu. Ukuze sithole ukwazi okunjalo kokholo, kufanele sithandaze izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku.
-Ngokucabanga ukuthi usephambi kukaNkulunkulu-
Kufanele kuzanywe ukwenza lokhu ngobuqotho obukhulu nangendlela enhle. Ngoba imiphumela yokholo ingagxiliswa ezinhliziyweni nasezinkumbulweni kuphela ngokukhonza okuqhubekayo.
Ngemva kwalokho, kaningi,
ukuthi impilo yomhlaba ingacima noma nini,
ngakho-ke
ukuthi ukushaywa kwezandla kanye nokukhahlelwa kungaphela noma nini.
Kufanele sicabange ngalokhu. Kulabo abaphikisana nokwembathwa kwezembatho ezimbozayo;
“Ungakwazi yini ukungisiza ethuneni lami? Ungakwazi yini ukungikhulula ezandleni zamaZebani? Ungakwazi yini ukungivikela phambi kukaNkulunkulu?”
Ake sithi usukulungele ukubuza… Ingabe sizolalela izwi labantu ababuthaka nabampofu, abangenalusizo ngemva kokufa, noma sizolalela imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, yena ophethe konke?
Uma nquma ukuzinikela ngokuphelele ku-Allah, kokubili ngokuphathelene nengubo kanye nenduku, singakuncoma lokhu: Ungaqala ngokukhetha ingubo yesimanje efanele ukuzithoba, ngaphandle kwengubo ende. Uma lokhu kunzima kakhulu, ungazithoba kancane kancane, uqale ngezingubo zakho, bese uqala ukufaka induku ngesikhathi esifanele. Ngemuva kwalokho, ungagqoka ingubo ende yesimanje. Ngokubona kwethu, kungcono ukuba nesibindi, ukhethe ingubo nenduku ngendlela efanele ukuzithoba, bese ubhekana nazo zonke izinto ezizokwenzeka ngesikhathi esisodwa.

Kukhona indoda eyaya ku-Ibrahim b. Ethem; kwaba nengxoxo phakathi kwabo:
Indoda:

Uma u-Azrael efika ukuthatha umphefumulo wakho, mcele ukuthi akunike isikhathi sokuphenduka ezonweni zakho nokwenza izenzo ezinhle!
– Ingabe u-Azrael angakuvuma lokho?
–
Mngani wami othandekayo!… Awukwazi ukubulala ukufa. Awukwazi ukuvala umnyango wethuna. Awukwazi ukuxoxisana no-Azrael ukuze okungenani ulibazise isikhathi esithile. Ngitshele, ngiyakucela, uzosinda kanjani?
– Ngiyabonga. Ngicela ungitshele eyesihlanu?
