Four Evils Inspiring Islamic Speech

Four Evils is a thought-provoking Islamic speech by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Hazrat Allama Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri. This powerful bayan highlights four destructive evils that can damage a person's faith, character, and relationship with Allah Almighty. Through Quranic guidance, blessed Ahadith, and practical examples, the speech explains how sinful habits can negatively affect both individual and social life.

The bayan encourages self-reform, sincere repentance, and adherence to the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It provides valuable lessons on avoiding harmful actions, developing good character, and striving for spiritual excellence. Four Evils serves as an important reminder for Muslims seeking guidance, moral improvement, and success in this world and the Hereafter.

The Excellence of Ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet ﷺ 

 A pious person was travelling through a forest when night fell. Formidable beasts were roaming everywhere. He felt afraid,but suddenly remembered this blessed Hadith: “Whoever recites ṣalāt upon me once, Allah sends ten mercies upon him. He recited ṣalāt upon the Prophet and slept in a spot; he spent the entire night in peace, and not a single beast even touched him. Then, (regarding this same Hadith), he said: I recited ṣalāt because ten mercies of Allah descend upon the one who recites it once, and when ten mercies of Allah surround me, what beast would dare to even look towards me.

Dear Islamic brothers! This all depends on the firmness of faith. You observed the firmness of faith of that pious person whereas our state is such that though we are believers, our focus remains more towards outward means. May Allah Almighty make our faith firm as well.
