Almighty Allah says in holy Quran, “يَاْ اَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ أمَنُوْاا تَّقُوْا اَللهَ وَ كُوْنُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِيْنَ (O! Believers fear from Allah Almighty and take the company of the truthful persons.)”
There are two orders in this verse for human beings first of them is fearing from Almighty Allah, meaning of fearing from Allah Almighty on this place is to follow all the orders of Allah Almighty and be away from forbidden things.
Second one is to taking the company of pious persons. Let’s see the Quranic definition of pious persons, Almighty Allah says in holy Quran, “قَدْ اَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُوۡنَ.الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ فِیۡ صَلَاتِہِمْ خٰشِعُوۡنَ. وَالَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُوۡنَ. وَالَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ لِلزَّکٰوۃِ فٰعِلُوۡنَ. وَالَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ لِفُرُوۡجِہِمْ حٰفِظُوۡنَ. اِلَّا عَلٰۤی اَزْوَاجِہِمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَکَتْ اَیۡمَانُہُمْ فَاِنَّہُمْ غَیۡرُ مَلُوۡمِیۡنَ. فَمَنِ ابْتَغٰی وَرَآءَ ذٰلِکَ فَاُولٰٓئِکَ ہُمُ الْعٰدُوۡنَ. وَالَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ لِاَمٰنٰتِہِمْ وَ عَہۡدِہِمْ رَاعُوۡنَ. وَالَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ عَلٰی صَلَوٰتِہِمْ یُحَافِظُوۡنَ. اُولٰٓئِکَ ہُمُ الْوٰرِثُوۡنَ. الَّذِیۡنَ یَرِثُوۡنَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ ؕ ہُمْ فِیۡہَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ(Verily! The believers get success who are humble in their prayer, who are shrinker from bad things, who are donor of Zakat, who are protector of their private parts except their wives and the girls who are under their property are not blamed then if they wants’ besides these they are transgressor, who are protector their deposits and promises and who are consistently observer their prayers. They are the inheritors who will inherit the paradise. They will be there forever.” According to these qualities it is confirmed that the person who will be the owner of all these qualities, will be a pious.
Now the question is that, how a person can own these qualities? Answer is, if you will see around the world you will find that there is no any country, city, tribe or home without a leader for it. There is a leader for every country, city, tribe and home who controls the people of his community and everyone obeys their leader. The main reason of this leadership is to be controlled by the person who knows better how to establish a safe, happy and successful life in the country by following the single rule for everyone, made by the leader.
In another hand if there will be no leader for any country, city, tribe or home then everybody of these communities will do what he want even it be wrong one because there would be no any single rule to follow, or nobody could stop him because he is not a leader. Then they will be unable to be success or progress and unable to remain safe themselves from their enemies.
Just like that if anybody wants to progress toward Allah Almighty and wants to be a pious person he should make a leader for him who can guide him on his path. The pious persons are the best leader for it. Because they are well trained persons by their leaders and they know about the dangers in this way. They know how to control on the Nafs and how to treat with ghosts. They are completely able to guide you. Whenever you will roll down from the straight path or will take a wrong turn they will took your hand and guide you that, “this is a wrong way not a right one that is your path go from that way that’s your way.”
So dear friends I am requesting you please go in search of pious person and sit in their company because without them you are unable to face the dangerous enemy “Shaitan”, and make yourself pious and pure from sins.
The poet says,
Company of pious person, will make you pious
Company of bad person, will make you bad
صحبت صالح ترا صالح کند
صحبت طالح ترا طالح کند
Tell him to sit in the company of pious
ہرکہ خواہد ہم نشیند با خدا
گونشیند صحبت در اولیا
One moment in the company of pious
Is better than hundred year’s prayer without pretense
یک زمانہ صحبت در اولیا
بہتراز صد سالہ طاعت بے
