Thoughts on the book of commentary on "Hayrat ul-abror"

A person who goes into trade looks for the answer to the question of what people are eating and what they are wearing. Because if you sell things that are eaten and worn and used a lot in daily life, your business prospers.

Filmmakers, writers, comedians too, if they want their product to take off, rack their brains over the question of what interests society. If it is not interesting, if no one buys it, who will be a customer for your book, your film or your askiya?

At the presentation of "Hayrat ul-abror", Abror Mukhtor Aliy made a wonderful remark; he said: "Coming to sit at the presentation of "Hayrat ul-abror" nowadays is like fighting on a battlefield!"

True words.

For showing interest in a book that is hard to digest and hard to read demands very great strength from a person.

Now just think what an ordeal it is to buy it, take it in hand, leaf through it and try reading two or three pages!

At a time when a very large part of humanity sits worshipping at the foot of entertainment stages, carrying around a book written in the 15th century, which even the people of its own time had trouble understanding, truly seems an extremely unnatural thing.

There are no love stories, no romance novels, no chains of fast-paced events chasing one another in this book.

Its plot is not exciting either, and it does not grab you like a hook.

In that case, what kind of person should the one who reads "Hayrat ul-abror" be?

What should the eye be like that pours its light onto every page of this book?

He must be one who has escaped from a swamp, I think.

Or, if he has not escaped, he must want very much to escape.

Or...

he must be a prisoner who desperately wants to be freed from the dungeon.

Or...

must you be a condemned man who has drunk poison, who has been brought under the gallows, whose head has been laid on the block?

Allah knows best, but I think one must be exactly like this, friends.

For all people of this kind must want very much to live?

I suspect that getting out of the swamp, being freed from the dungeon, escaping the poison, the gallows and the block and reaching salvation must be the very first concern of those held captive by them...

Perhaps to read "Hayrat ul-abror" one must love life.

One must have love for life.

That is, if today you can see that everything in the world is ready to execute you, if you realize that everything in the world is making plans to kill you, you will be able to love life more, and then you will take up "Hayrat ul-abror", perhaps?
