Test of honesty in the seat of power!

Test of honesty in the seat of power!

Not discriminating between legal and illegal, not caring about right and wrong – an honest administrator, ethical worker, ideal teacher is better than that bearded man. A virtuous cobbler is a million times better than a dishonest person educated in a religious institution, an admonished doer, or a scholar who fakes a pass. A faithful cleaner has more dignity than one who does not keep promises, keep deposits and speak the truth. If an administrator is honest, if a policeman follows religious restrictions, he is more dignified than conventional pirs. If a businessman does business honestly, his face is with the Prophet.

There must be scope for measuring good and bad. The honesty of the one who has no opportunity to be dishonest and the one who is in the lap of power, with billions of rupees walking around at the tip of his nose – the weight of his honesty is not equal! Those who can squander crores of rupees whenever they want, can easily take away someone’s rights or deprive someone of justice – those who do not do these things even after having power are the best people. Society should be envious of those who are guided by conscience by suppressing passions, controlling greed. Others should learn from their simple life. Competition must be created to follow people guided by ideals. Because the way these people are honored and praised in this world, they will be rewarded more in the Hereafter.

Among the hundreds of thousands of rulers, one bows his head when he hears the name of the ruler who has ruled the state-subjects of principles. Respect melts in the memory of those bureaucrats, those officials and politicians who did not give illegal benefits to anyone outside of the rules, did not take extra benefits and did not deprive anyone of what they deserved. If the person who is responsible for the rights and safety of many people is ethical, he will have heavenly peace. The safety of women and children is guaranteed. Not only humans but also animals feel safe in that kingdom. He who knowingly does not harm anyone, cheats anyone and neglects duty is alive. Honest ruler, ethical bureaucrat, ideal teacher are friends of Allah. Their superiority and dignity over all the people of the world has been declared.

Being honest is very important in one’s life. Illegally earned money can increase consumption but not happiness. Anyone who misuses the power has to pay damages and compensation during his lifetime. He who is responsible, who is competent to perform or who has been appointed, must atone for every action if he does not perform it honestly. Man’s speech, work or responsibility is entrusted to him. If he collects the deposit properly, he will be honored and if he cheats, he will be punished. If dishonor is earned in the world, there is no greater punishment. Punishment is not only jail-fine but child going astray, husband/wife disobedience – nothing worse than that.

The peace of mind of the unrighteous nurturer is destroyed. Those who mix interest and bribery with legitimate income, who cause people tears by usurping their legitimate rights, who oppress the weak and accept the injustice of the strong or who, despite being responsible, incurs a curse by depriving someone of service – their actions will go unpunished. no If he evades the work for which the Lord has ordered, the work for which the state has paid a salary, and the duty for which someone has been trained with knowledge and wisdom, it will be more difficult for them to catch the hereafter than the executioner of this world. Ill-gotten money must be fully accounted for. Therefore, it is more honorable to live by eating honestly; Risk free. It is also a sin to hide the fact that one can know it.

The surrounding glitz, the feeling of being infatuated with one’s wealth should be firmly grasped. No one comes into the world just like that, he is not selected out of billions of people and given a special responsibility for a certain period of time. Therefore, if someone gets the power, gets the opportunity and does wrong by ignoring the justice, then the responsible person will be punished more than the common people. If someone commits corruption, people hate him, children go astray, suffering when power runs out, or sleepless nights in mental turmoil – what can be a greater punishment than this? For unscrupulous wrongdoers, for dishonest rulers and for corrupt bureaucrats-police, the final outcome is the blazing flames of hell. The dishonesty of the rickshaw puller-labourer only harms the passenger-owner but the entire nation has to bear the brunt of the corruption of the royals. Therefore, the greater the responsibility, the higher the level of caution required.
