erm no not really. Had not heard of the word minhajis before this forum but had heard of dr.tahir-ul qadri as most of my family not immediate are his associates. So the word was new to me.

what i mean in my last post is...

if someone follows dr.tahir ul qadri does that mean their part of minhaj ? or do you not have to be a part of minhaj to follow him. :?

Knowledge is one way to keep away from sin…its part of our nature avoid harm to our self.

So if we kept in our mind at all times the consequence of sinning…we wouldn’t intentionally sin.

Some of the consequences of sinning are…

1-It weakens your memory and destroys your intellect.

2-It prevents you from obeying Allah (swt) because your heart becomes hard.

3-It weakens the heart and body.

4-It reduces your lifespan and destroys any blessings that you may have coming your way.

5-One finds it increasingly difficult to repent

6-Loss of honour and respect in this world and in the hereafter.

7-It causes the favors of Allah (swt) to cease and you’re more likely to have bad things happen to you in life.

8-The loss of the Raza (pleasure) and nearness to God and incurring his wrath and displeasure

Wasalaam

I once heard an alim say that:

Musulmaan gunnah karta nahi hai, uss se gunnah ho jaate hain. Jayse ke koi apne kapre ko ganda karta nahi hai, kapre gande ho jaate hain.

That a muslim does not intentionally commit sins, they just happen. Just as no1 dirties their clothes, they just naturally become dirty.

I think the point the Mawlana was trying to make is that no1 should intentionally do a sin and think that I will repent and wash it later. His analogy regarding clothing was apt. Mawlana mentioned that no1 dons a new garment and says that its gonna get dirty in a few days so I might aswell not bother to keep it as clean as possible/ its gonna be washed soon. We dont take this type of attitude with our clothing then why should we be so lax in regards to dirtying our hearts?

Also linked in - is that no matter how hard we try we are going to sin just as no matter how hard we try our clothes WILL eventually become dirty. So clothes are continually going in a cycle of dirtying and washing and this is what we need to do aswell and the cleansing of the heart is by doing tawbah and making istghfaar.

This was a general drift of a speech by Mawlana Muhammad Saleem Dhorat Sahib in urdu. If I can find which bayaan it was I will edit and let you know, inshaALLAH.
