الواسع - Care on marital relations and orphans

Huzoor continued the Khutba on the divine attribute of Al Waasigh الواسع. The attribute covers all aspects of human life and Allah explains this through the Qur'an and the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). During this khutba, huzoor discussed the care a Muslim has to taken in matters of marriage and taking care of orphans. In marital life, we should follow the example of the Holy Prophet. These days many Muslims go for second marriage without undrstanding or following the instructions of the Holy Qur'an. The Holy Qur'an allows marrying more than one wife only on conditions. And it says if one has any doubt on being just to all his wives, he should marry only one. The Holy Prophet used to pray for forgiveness if by any mistake his heart is inclined to one of his wives. He used to pay so much attention on this matter. Similarly the care of an orphan and care of the property that belongs to an orphan are contracts with Allah and we need to take utmost care in fulfilling them. Huzoor cited the instructions from the Holy Qur'an on this well.

Allah has not made anyone responsible for what he is not capable of. Muslims have the responsibility of working for the betterment of society and to deliver the responsibilities. We should not ever think these are beyond our capability and stay away from these. Rather we should keep trying our best and keep asking Allah for the results. That is how we can progress in our faith and continue on the path of righteous deeds.
