Memories and words

24 February 2026 · 7 Ramadan 1447 AH

That was a few years ago. It was winter. The poor were troubled by the cold. It is not easy for them to buy warm clothes. The white-clad class, disturbed by inflation, is also forced to keep the stove warm or keep their body and soul warm. In such a situation, one day when I opened the wardrobe for some work, my eyes fell on the hangers of my beloved husband's hanging coat suit. He left, but his memories are wrapped up in every single thing. My point was that you don't even have to look at their things. Who closes the flood of his memories day by day that the rivers of the eyes do not bring any closure for the sake of it. Then it would take hours to take care of yourself.
But as soon as I saw half a dozen hanging coats that day, I thought I had stored them just to support myself. It will protect many people from the cold. That will be useful for my dear husband too. Just think, take all the hangers out of the closet. Quickly check the pockets and send them to the nearest "service" center. It's been a week. One day, a woman called Khidmat and said, "You have sent a suit to Khidmat." Answered "Yes" only you sent ??
He asked again
"Yes, I did."
In my heart I was amazed. After all, why is it being verified so much? I mean that no one else has given you that coat ?? To send service ??
He asked a third time
No, I sent it. Why are you asking?
I asked. In fact, one of them had dollars and other foreign currency out of his coat pocket. Is there a receipt with them ?? Whose coat was that ??
Yes, he belonged to my late husband.
Would you please name them? The name is written on the receipt.
He confirmed the name and said he would send it back to me.
I said yes my husband used to go out of the office to attend meetings and seminars.
The next day I received an envelope from the local service containing a foreign currency with a receipt.
The purpose of narrating this incident is to mention the standard of honesty, trustworthiness and caution that the service maintains in relation to its funds. He could have put the money out of his coat pocket into his own fund. But he said it was necessary to confirm the matter. Thanks to this standard of honesty and integrity, it is difficult to find an example of the wide range of services that the network is running to meet the needs of the needy across the country. Then not only at home but also abroad the Muslim Ummah shares in the pain and sorrow.
Al-Khidmat is an arm of Jamaat-e-Islami which is always ready to serve and improve the people. Where there is no prejudice, no recommendation, only service is the service for which such honest and sincere workers are trained by Jamaat-e-Islami. This is a field of service to our countrymen which includes many fields within it, then education, justice, women in prisons, children, old people ... Workers of the same Jamaat-e-Islami become the cure for the pain of those who are being punished for their innocence.
Today, if we have to face failure in politics, then others say that the party is over. Politics is not just a party job. He was rejected by the people. All these things are very harsh and bitter. But this is not even a tenth of what happened to the prophets of God. For nine hundred and fifty years, Syedna Noah kept calling his people, calling them to the truth. But those who accepted remained in small numbers until they were rejected inside the house. Therefore, the sorrow of being rejected for those who take up the mission of the prophets ... No pain Sadly, if you start blaming each other for the worldly consequences, it is right that there should be analysis, reflection and suggestions to put things in the right direction. But in any case, the decision should be left to those responsible. If this is not done then what will be the difference between the workers of other parties and the workers of Jamaat-e-Islami? In politics, you have to give along and you have to give up. In order to achieve one's goal, one has to make a political action.
It doesn't matter if you vote for him or her today. Yes, you have to put your weight somewhere with your goal in mind. If you read the Sira, you will find that sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made a treaty leaning towards the polytheists (peace of Hudaybiyyah) and sometimes he made a peace treaty with the Jews. When the Jamaat-e-Islami was formed on August 26, 1941, it had only 75 members. His journey has never stopped since then. He has moved forward in every field, yes even in the field of politics. Your truthfulness, honesty and integrity are also considered by your opponents. Well, if you don't consider it appropriate for you to look at trust and honesty in Parliament, then you know that it is an obstacle for you, then this is nothing new. In his speech a few hours before the formation of Jamaat-e-Islami, Maulana had openly said, "Everyone who comes to Jamaat-e-Islami should understand that the work that is being done by this party is a light and It is not an easy task, it has to change the whole system of life, it has to change the morals, politics, culture, economy, society of the world. The system of life in the world, which is based on rebellion against God, has to be changed to obedience to God, and in this work, it has to fight against all the evil forces.
