THE WIFE & THE CALLER TO ALLĀH

 *THE WIFE & THE CALLER TO ALLĀH*

The caller to Allah who travels all over the country, giving lectures and lessons, which may also include programs and appearances on television channels. Once he has the opportunity to come home he is pre-occupied with the internet, writing research papers and authoring books. 

This (da'wah) is Fard Kifayah (a communal obligation) and he leaves off his obligations towards his wife. The old saying applies to him, “Like the candle that burns itself out, while illuminating the pathway for others”. 

The Prophet established a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu al-Darda‘ Salman paid a visit to Abu al-Darda and found Umm al-Darda‘ dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in that state? She replied, “Your brother, Abu al-Darda‘ is not interested in the luxuries of this world.” 

In the meantime Abu al-Darda‘ came and prepared a meal for him (Salman), and said to him, “(Please) eat, for I am fasting.” Salman said, “I am not going to eat, unless you eat (too).” 

So Abu al-Darda‘ ate. When it was night, Abu al-Darda‘ got up [for the night Prayer]. Salman said (to him), “Sleep.” And he slept. 

Again Abu al-Darda‘ got up (for the Prayer), and Salman said (to him), “Sleep.” When it was the last part of the night, Salman said to him, “Get up now [for the Prayer].” 

So both of them offered their Prayer and Salman said to Abu al-Darda‘, “Your Lord (Allah) has a right upon you, your own self has a right upon you, and your family has a right on you, so you should give the rights of all those who have a right upon you. So you should fulfill the right of all those who have a right upon you.”
