Sayingsof Hadhrat ‘Uthman Ra
The last
sermon that Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased with him) gave has been
recorded by ‘Allama Momin Bin Hasan Shablakhi (May Allah shower His mercy on
him) in Noor Ul Absaar:
Translation:
It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Yazid bin ‘Uthman, he said that in
his last sermon, Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased with him)
said: O people! Verily Allah Most High has given you with
world so that you seek the hereafter with it.
It has not been given to you for indulging in it. Remember!
This world will end and the hereafter is to remain. The thing which is perishable should not make
you ungrateful and heedless of that thing which will remain. Prefer the lasting hereafter to the temporal
world. This world is a place of journey
and in reality everyone has to return to Allah.
Be conscious of Allah, as this is a means of saving oneself from His
wrath and a means of gaining His proximity…...
(Noor Ul Absaar Fi Manaqibi Aali Baitin Nabiyyil Mukhtaar, Pg. No. 80)
May
Allah Most High enable us to love Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased
with him) beyond all limits and act upon his teachings.
