Lesson
Khayraat – (good works) khayr
is its singular. Besides Alms and Charity it is also used for each type of
good works. Each that work which is done according to the Divine’s Law and
cause to do that work is only to please the God Almighty, that is included in
the khayraat.
After stating about making separate groups and selfishness of
the people of the Scripture, the Holy Qur’an instructed them about the
Straight Path and told that the Truth is only one which was bestowed to all. But
the former nations failed to keep it. Appointing the Qiblah is not out
of the basic questions of the religion that it would be considered the standard
of the Right and the Wrong. Every nation has its own Qiblah and each
nation does worship turning towards its own Qiblah. Actual thing which
is to be understood and done is “khayraat” that means good works. So,
try to lead in it from one another and take it for the religion’s actual Base.
The people of the Scripture used to take part in bigotry and
stubbornness surpassing each other. They did not use to incline towards the
Truth, always put the doubts into the hearts of the Muslims, and remained on
the front line in the mischief and conspiracies. These people used to produce
confusions in the customary questions being careless from the teachings of
their religion. If they did not find any other thing, then they used to go
ahead taking the question of Qiblah in front of them. Although this
matter is not too much important that much precious time be wasted in its
discussion. Deem the Qiblah as from the Order of God Almighty, which
depends upon time and advisability. The real task is to lead in the good works.
If the nation’s gathering will be on the goodness and the people
will include the goodness in their lives then the God Almighty will gather them
on a Center, all the misunderstandings will end and enmities will expire.
