GLORIFYING THE ROSARY; A FASHION
(Hafiz Muhammad Noman, Karachi)
That was a beautiful lady, got
on the bus along with another woman. The seat she sat in was straight opposite
me. She was wearing a scarf properly. After a little time, she took out a rosary
from her purse and started to glorify it.
The whole scene I observed as I was sitting opposite that woman. I wished that
all the women should be like her! In the meantime, I felt that I was wrong! The
way she was glorifying the rosary was so strange that I couldn’t believe how a
person could do it! I observed that she was continuously talking to her
colleague with smiling face since she got on the bus! During talking, she was
counting the beads of the rosary as if she was not glorifying but counting her
talking on the beads! I was greatly shocked to see this state of affairs and the
whole model that I made in my mind regarding that woman completely collapsed
down! Recently a few minutes ago, I was admiring her but unfortunately my eyes
immediately opened and the curtains on my eyes removed due to her posing!
This is not the first incident that I observed but many of the same incidents
could be found here and there in which either a person having rosary glorifying
it whereas he is talking to someone at the same time! How pity it is that
people, today, have made the religion a joke! They perhaps think that they are
praising and worshipping Allah Almighty but I think that they are deceiving
themselves by doing an offensive act! They should afraid of Allah and try to
avert these types of acts in which it seems that they are showing themselves off
or they are posing themselves to impress others! May Allah bestow us knowledge
to amend ourselves and have mercy upon us! Aameen!
