When we intend building a house we require an architect and engineer. They come for a short period of time and leave. Thereafter the builders come in, then the electrician and the tilers. The building is not completed until the carpenters complete the cupboard even though one can live in an house without the tiling and carpentry being complete. Today, we even say that the garden is incomplete. Similarly, the final touches of Deen are completed by Tasawwuf.

The knowledge of Deen is acquired in the Makaatib and the Darul Ulooms. The building is done by the Tabligh Jamaat where the Aa’maal of Deen come alive. Finally, the beauty and essence of Deen is done by the Khanqah. This is where one acquires the reality of Deen. When one gets a house that is completed perfectly with all the finishing touches, it is only a pleasure to reside in such a house. We need a complete house with the finishing touches completed. Therefore we need our Makaatib, Darul Ulooms, the Tabligh Jamaat and the Khanqahs.

We do not enjoy practising upon Deen because we are residing in a home that is void of tiling and carpentry. There isn’t any aircons and fans in our homes. When the finishing touches are done, we will enjoy residing in such a home. Similarly, when the reality and essence of Deen comes then only will we enjoy our Salaah. We will be proud to be Muslims and make Shukr unto Allah Ta'ala for granting us Imaan.
