Former cricketer Saeed Anwar delivers Spiritual Speech at KMU

The Pakistan cricket team internationally acclaimed former batsman and famous preacher Saeed Anwar has said that for success in this world and in the hereafter it is necessary to follow the footprints of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). The family system of the West is in disarray, people are marrying animals there. Anxiety and depression are rampant in the Western world due to which the use of antidepressant drugs is on the rise. He expressed these views while addressing the faculty, administrative staff and students at Khyber Medical University Peshawar, while vice chancellor Prof. Dr. Zia ul Haq, Pro vice chancellor Prof. Dr. Lal Muhammad Khattak and Registrar Prof. Dr. Muhammad Saleem Gandapur were also present on the occasion.

Saeed Anwar said that Allah Almighty had given him every visible blessing of the world before preaching but we were deprived of the wealth of true faith. Now when our heart has changed, it has also changed our world. He said that in spite of all the material achievements not only there is an abundance of diseases but also doctors specializing in various diseases are dying from these diseases by themselves.

He said that man is made of clay and he constantly needs water and hard work. Getting out in the way of Allah makes this work easy. Those people are the worst creatures of Allah who do not listen and do not act. Allah Almighty should be remembered frequently in day and night.  In the Holy Qur'an, it is commanded to keep the heartbeat clean.  If a human being becomes a human being in the true sense, then everything will become subject to him. Saeed Anwar said that honor and disgrace is not related to wealth and means but honor and disgrace is in the hands of Allah Almighty.  

He said that relationships should be forged, respect for parents is the success of both worlds, provision is in the hands of Allah Almighty and it has nothing to do with human plan and effort. It is necessary to create perfect faith in Allah Almighty. Instead of looking at the faults of others, one should correct one's own shortcomings and slips. Negative thinking, negative comments, negative words hollow out the foundations of religion. Hands, ears, eyes. Perform all actions by the command of Allah Almighty. Da'wah to Allah is the command of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. We must set aside some time in our 24-hour routine for the preaching.

He said that eyes are not blind, in fact hearts are blind and hearts are rusty, mosques are becoming desolate, 98% people are deprived of performing Fajr prayers in congregation, therefore mosques need to be populated with prayers and dhikr. We should remember Allah who is our Creator and Master, this is what believers do. The example of those who are deprived of faith is worse than that of animals, so we should be thankful to Allah for the wealth of faith, he added.
