FOR THOSE OF OUR WHANAU WHO CAN NOT READ URDU
During a speech in a Madrassah Hazrat once said, "I just went upstairs to look at the Madrassah. MashaAllah a lot of good work is being done here. However, the volume of the loud speaker was so loud, both upstairs and outside, that it was very noisy. I requested to lower the volume of the loud speaker. I also suggested that the rule of Shariah is that if people gather to listen to a talk somewhere the volume of the speaker or the loud speaker should only be as loud as would be sufficient for the people gathered to hear the speaker clearly. It is not permissible under Shariah that the volume be so loud that the whole neighbourhood, or the entire city, starts getting disturbed by it.
The most important reason is that if a person in his home nearby was sick, he would not be able to sleep because of the loud volume, and his illness may become worse because of it. Or there may be another person who may not be sick but just wants to sleep, he would be unable to sleep because of this loud noise. We are very happy that the whole neighbourhood is listening to our talk but in Aakhirah (Day of Judgment) Allah SWT would ask us that one of my creations was in pain and distress because of you, what was your justification for doing so?
In a Hadith Rasool Allah SAW said that a Muslim is one whose hand and tongue other Muslims are safe from. He doesn't hurt anyone physically and he doesn't say anything which hurts other people. We believe we are preaching religion to other people, but Sharia has told us the proper way of doing it. It is impermissible under Shariah that if a person does not want to listen to what we are saying, we put a loud speaker right over his ear and make him listen to us forcefully."
