***Superficial Displays: The Erosion of Genuine Faith in these social Communities***
These days, everyone seems to be celebrating 12 Rabi ul Awal in various ways to show their love for Prophet Muhammad (SAW). But do we genuinely love him? Do we, including myself, offer our prayers regularly? Do we follow his Hadiths? Do we understand and read the Quran? Hazrat Aisha has said that the Quran is a silent example of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and the Prophet is the spoken version of the Quran. So, do we genuinely follow the Quran? No. And many people in these social communities don't truly adhere to faith. They will attend singing shows, Milaads, and even funerals, seemingly to promote themselves. But none make an effort to truly follow the Prophet's teachings. We might listen to Naats, but we don't understand their meaning and sometimes inadvertently indulge in verses that border on shirk. Is there a concept of Naats in Islam? If we truly love the Prophet, we should recite the Quran, offer prayers, and act upon the Hadiths.
