Allah says:-
(S55-A 26) "All that exists on the earth is mortal. But thy Load the powerful and
blessing is ever lasting (Eternal)."
Allah says:-
(S 3-A185) "Every soul shall have taste of death. "
One who is born in this world is sure to die one day or the other. Thus always remembering the death and believing it to be very close to us, protects us from committing sins and makes us to offer prayer to Allah sincerely. It is narrated in the Hadees Shareef that a man who remembers death twenty time a day gets martyrdom in reward. (Mala Budh Mina)
When our limbs are healthy and in our control, it is necessary to renounce the world and the worldly desires, and to devote for attaining Allah and His vision. The renunciation (Tark-e-Duniya) is one of the very important obligation (Farz) of Vilayat. The efforts for earning livelihood and worldly comforts are to be given up in search of Allah, and for His worship in the short span of life. Allah has promised to provide food according to one's fate in the Holy Quran at many places. Just as earning livelihood requires hard efforts, so also hard efforts are needed to win the love of Allah. It is not possible to achieve love of Allah along with the love for the world.
Poet says:-
i.e. Desire to attain Allah and the worldly comforts simultaneously is a wishful thought,
impossible and madness.
If a person performs the job as a servant he is not free to do as he pleases instead he takes lot of trouble and difficulties in performing duties to please his worldly master. Inspite of the fact that every servant does his job promptly cheerfully, and diligently, he fears that his master will remove him from his job if he disobeys or commits any mistake.
Agriculture, trade etc. are also not free
from troubles and difficulties. All this is done for earning wealth only. The object of
earning is to fulfil the requirement of food, although Allah has already taken the
responsibility of providing food for whole life, through several verses of the Holy Quran.
Food is arranged even before the birth of the child as per the Holy inspiration so
Allah says:
(S2-A22) "And send down rain from the skies and brought forth therewith fruits (and
food
grains) from inside the earth for your sustenances."
Allah says:-
(S11-A6) "There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependent on Allah.
Allah says:-
(S3-A30) "And Thou giveth sustenance to who thou pleasest without measures"
Allah says:-
(S13-A 26) "Indeed Allah provides subsistence in large quantity or squeezes springly
to whom
He desires."
Allah says:-
(S17-A30) "Indeed Allah provides abundantly whom so ever He desires and springly to
whom
so ever He wishes."
Allah says:-
(S51-A58) "Indeed Allah is the Sustainer, Almighty and all powerful."
Allah says:-
(S65-A3) "Allah will provide him food (Subsistance) from a source which one can not
imagine.
One who trusts Allah, Allah is quite enough to provide him subsistence."
Allah says:-
(S67-A21) "And who can provide your food, if Allah stops it."
This matter is worth considering that man inspite of being the best creature (Ashraful Maqlookhat), having no faith in Allah’s promise to provide subsistence and accepts service of other human beings like him and waste his precious life, also neglects his obligations to win over the love of Allah, Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am called the world as ‘Carrion’ (Murdar) and a man who runs after the wretched world as a ‘dog’. The purpose of Creation of human beings is not to earn wealth and worldly comforts. But to get the recognition (M'arifat) of Allah and pray Him. Animals are not capable enough to entrust them with any duties or responsibilities. Inspite of this it is a strange fact that human beings are engaged in achieving worldly wealth and pleasures mindless of their duties towards the Creator. And the animals, as Allah says in Quran, “All the seven skies and earth and the creations inhabiting in them are busy in praise and glorification of Allah. But you are unable to understand them." (P.15, R.5)
As a result of this, all the creatures big or small either on the earth or in the sea are provided food (subsistence) by the sustained, Allah alone. This secret is beyond the reach of the human wisdom. Allah provides food every day in the seas according to their nature, desire and requirement, to the countless creatures with out hard work, service, trade and cultivation.
It is strange to note that during the famine period animals
which are not under the protection of the human being are not seen dying with starvation on the hills or forests for want of food.
Thus Allah says:-
(S.29, A60) There are several animals which do not store food for future, Allah alone
provides
them food and to you too and He listens every voice and knows everything.
It is proved by observation that animals have full confidence that Allah provides them subsistence. Otherwise a bird who sits on the heap of food grains, after eating its bellyful would have stored food grains in a safe place, had it not believed that the Sustainer would surely provide it in future.
If one thinks over the fact that flower-beds and fruit gardens under the care of man get ruined and dried up. But on the other hand the countless lovely flowers grown on the hills, in forests and bushes of different varieties are very green and attractive even after facing terrible heat of the sun. Even the old trees become green and attractive covered with green leaves and it is called spring season. Highest praise to Allah, the Almighty and Sustainer.
As per the above mentioned orders about of subsistence, the question may arise that the most beloved of Allah and the Holy being through whose light (Noor) the universe was created the Khatim-e-Vilayat-e-Mohammedi, Hzt. Mahdi Mauood Alaihis Salam suffered continuous starvations and why the lovers of Allah laid down their lives suffering starvation?
The answer is that in the eyes of the Provider and the Cherisher the best among the Divine blessing is the blessing of starvation. Therefore this most excellent blessing is awarded to the lovers of Allah only, i.e. the choicest of the men whom He likes.
For Momin a night of starvation is not a cause of anxiety
or trouble and ingratitude. On the other hand, it is a source of receiving Divine favour,
nearness to Allah and progress in spiritual stages. and it is awarded only to such
selected few persons whose houses are doorless and where the water pots are kept empty
upside down. In (Para.2, Ruku 3) of the Holy Quran, Allah calls the hunger and the
troubles of the human beings as His test, then those who pass this test successfully and
patiently are given good news of Allah’s Mercy and Grace. So the commonsense can decide which is blessing of
Allah? Aanhazrat Sal'am said “ the night of starvation is like Shab-e-Meraj for the
Momin” and 
(Faqre) is my pride.
“The world is a Heaven for infidels and Hell for the Momins.
Every Muslim firmly believes that there will be no change whatever is decided in the Eternal fate. Thus if a person gives up the futile efforts for earning livelihood to devote himself for the worship of Allah, will feel ashamed of his endeavour to earn worldly wealth and pleasure which are to be left in this world forever. He also realises that one should work harder to win the love and favour of Allah by obeying orders and avoiding prohibited actions. He will also consider that as a subordinate he had the fear of His worldly master and obeyed his orders with full concentration and pleasure. If he had feared the Omnipotent and obeyed His commandments with that much of pleasure and concentration, what position he would have earned in the eyes of Allah? On the other hand, one who has not done any efforts to earn his living and who has no idea about the difficulties and responsibilities of Obedience of his master, he will not be able to work hard in search of Allah. For this reason Hzt. Mahdi Mauood Alaihis Salam permitted to earn living and doing service to some extent and preferred renunciation of world (Tarik-e-Duniya) for worship and remembrance of Allah (Zikr). Otherwise one who is deputed to call people to be nearer to Allah, would not have allowed men even for a moment to engage in earning worldly necessities. Therefore Hzt. Bandagi Miran Syed Mahmood (Mahdi II) Raz. with the permission and orders of Hzt. Mahdi Mauood Alaihis Salam, accepted the service of Sultan Mahmood Begada for some time.
If anyone who accepted the Promised Mahdi
(Musadaq) has not relinquished the wordly efforts for devoting fully for attaining Allah
(Tark-e-Dunya) and when his last moment arrived, then his relations should pay more
attention advising him to give up the worldly desires and the worldly matters while he is
in his senses, and he should renounce the world and should repent for the sins he had
commited (Tawba) and pray Allah to pardon his sins and promise not to repeat them in
future with the help of the Almighty Allah. Allah Himself has commanded for repentance
(tawba).
Allah says:-
Repent before Allah.
Hadees Shareef:-
Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am said, one who repents for his sins is like a person who has not at
all
committed any.
Hadees Shareef:-
Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am said, nothing pleases Allah, than a young person’s
repentance.
Hadees Shareef:-
Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am said, repent before Allah, before you die. (At least before death)
one
should fulfil his duties towards the others, since Allah will not excuse the right of
other human
beings due. Before death one has to divert his thoughts towards Allah. Remembring Allah
and
praising Him and expressing deep gratitude, submitting to His will of Allah, one should
breathe
his last.
On the other hand, if the love and attachments towards worldly wealth and pleasure attracts the person on the death bed and grief and sorrow for leaving them is diverting him from Allah and he dies without giving up the worldly desires, it is likely that such person has to face troubles and difficulties in the Next Word. There fore Hzt. Mahdi Mauood Alaihis Salam said, that “there is no faith without forsaking the world”. As per order of Hzt. Alaihis salam, renouncing world is an obligatory (Farz) act.
