Removing the Safety Net

 

Transcription of a Talk by

Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (raheemahullah)

 

 

 

The title, “Removing the safety net” was selected, because our beautiful religion and Shariah offers us a safety net with its various injunctions, teachings and prohibitions. Unfortunately, we have breached and disregarded many of those laws – similar to the person who removes the “safety net” which he covers his swimming pool with, as a safety measure for his little children and for those who are in-experienced in swimming; or on a larger scale : Like a people who remove the safety nets found near the shoreline of their beaches, as a protection against shark attacks. The title alludes to the fact that having, ourselves, removed the teachings of Deen from our lives, we find ourselves in deep waters, or having to face vicious “shark” attacks from all quarters – nafs, shaytaan and various other evil elements prevalent in society.
