First Part
God commanded human beings to be righteous and virtuous towards Allah and amongst other human beings. But, human beings generally stress on honourable ethics during human interactions while righteousness towards God seen to be of no importance.It is right and proper to give the priority of righteousness towards God. When the righteousness with God is accomplished, automatically the righteousness among fellow mankind will be established.
Establishing and maintaining moral excellence with God is challenging. When the heart has no fear and love for God, this will prevent human beings from being righteous with God.The heart and soul unfamiliar with God preserve all the ill traits (mazmumah). For as long as the heart of human beings still uncleansed from the illness of jealousy, craziness for worldly gains, spitefulness, searching for glamour, self-centredness and self-assurance and various other ill traits of the heart, God will not be familiar to them, God will not be respected, adulated, glorified and honoured.
Evidence of the struggles to be righteous towards God are:
* God is the supreme love and extremely loyal companion protecting, providing our needs and guarding our security.God’s kindness towards us is significant. His Supremacy and Dominance over us boundless.
By right God should be the one we love and aggrandize most. But only our mind is accepting this fact, while our impure heart polluted with the ill traits encouraging us to love and aggrandize the worldly matters. Indicating we are unrighteous towards God, the Most Kind.
* It is difficult to feel God’s existence and His utmost knowledge about us, to sense His existence and presence, to feel Him overseeing us endlessly, to feel Him listening to us relentlessly, to feel Him dominating us perpetually and various other feelings for God as He has commanded us to possses so that we are able to think of Him continously.
We perform our daily obligatory prayers five times a day.Officially, five times a day we are taken unintentionally to remember Him, but what are our thoughts during our solat?
And yet Allah has decreed in the Al Quran meaning:” Do perform solat to remember Me.”
One who remembers Allah will feel His existence and Allah in the know all about him, both his physical and spiritual aspects.Triggering the feelings of fear and apprehension towards God’s Supremacy. This describes as one who is righteous towards Allah.
If we fail to be righteous towards God during our official meet with Him i.e during our obligatory prayers, then during the other normal times, during our working hours,times we spent with the family, times we spent for entertainment, it is even difficult for us to remember Him.
This shows that our solat has not wither all the ill traits (mazmumah) preventing us to be righteous towards God. Showing off, self assurance, crazy for the world, arrogance, self centered, greed, miser, all the traits nesting inside the heart.
