Handling the current situation effectively.

“Work from home” is the new mantra since more than 3 months. Stepping out from the house is still not advisable, but only if it’s utterly necessary. Still we are not sure how prolonged the current situation will remain. Every now and then we are receiving the news (thanks to Whats App and social media) that the dreadful lockdown may be imposed once again. All these uncertainties and lots more are surrounding us every day. A large number of people are affected by the pandemic; some are facing a severe consequences and some are anticipating how their condition will worsen if this situation prevails.
But when I peep into myself, and try to mull my situation, it becomes very hard to find any harm the situation has given me; if I am affected financially, on the other hand, I have less expenses , I am spending less on my regular expenses for sustenance. Reasons for less spending are- no travelling at all, not eating at restaurants, and not buying unnecessary stuffs to name a few.Our powerhouse is Aljamea Tus Saifiyah which always keep us unaffected during the unprecedented situations in life. Each and every person is affected, be it an entrepreneur or a daily wage worker, either a monthly salaried person or a yearly income receiver. The coveted job bearer like pilots and IT engineers are devastated by the current situation.
Why people are losing hope in the current situation?  Because they don’t find anyone who can help or support them in these critical times. But if we know we have someone, a relative, a friend, a neighbor, a community, a boss or any other person is there by our side, the impact will be undoubtedly less on him. We are grateful to have someone who is lending us helping hand before we even ask for help. Who is praying for us prior our call. Allah, the supreme power, looks after His creation by sending His true messenger who conveys His message of love and care to all. We are getting love and care of Allah by His beloved descendant Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS.What we can extrapolate from the above example is that, on the day of resurrection the most relaxed person from the mental anguish will be Mumineen as they will be safeguarded by the Shafaat of the Aimmat Tahereen AS. The mental anguish of losing a job is one of the reasons behind the suicide. People are falling prey to the deadly ailments like depression and mental imbalance. But when we ponder upon our situation, we are never worried about losing our job (Khidmat). The list of worries and hardships which are depriving people to have a sound sleep is long-winded. But above all, the despair of losing the job is the most shattering.
What people should do at this stage? Rather than complaining for not earning and blaming the conditions, it’s time to act proactively. We should plan carefully how to economize from the amount we are having. No need to spend a single penny without any reason. Still we have witnessed people who are not taking care of their expenses. Recklessly spending for no reason, celebrating the occasions without bothering of what we are going to earn tomorrow will push us in a dreadful situation.  Being vigilant in our expenses, and to take utmost care of our health should be our priority. Ignoring the instructions issued from the government will leave us and our whole family in the peril.

   Let’s take the discussion to another level. Till now we were talking about our community only, we extend the matter to other Ebad-Allah also, who are connected to our community. During the starting of this phase an advisory was issued that: employee’s working in Dawat Idaras should be given proper aid. The story doesn’t end here. Owing to the current scenario people are not communicating with their employees but here SHZ Husain BS Burhanuddin Saheb DM courageously faced Dawats employees and ensured them, that we are ready to lend you the helping hand if required. I have witnessed that few employees were not able to hide their tears after listening these words.At the end we conclude that, when people are not able to oversee anything except his self, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS is selflessly taking care and looking after the mankind.May Allah bestow Him, His supreme strength and grant Him a long and prosperous life till the Day of Judgement. Ameen!
