Members of the Chhipa Community
Asslamoalaykum,
This world created by Khudatala causes us recollected off and on that there should be certain rules and regulations, principles or prescribed ways for the organization. Human being has accepted this fact very humbly. Because the way leading towards the fineness, advantage, beneficence and gentlemanliness only should be accepted. Therefore, the way depicted through the institutes is given the name of constitution. The constitution considers the individual to have bound with his institute, cast or community. Therefore the people administer the oath to be loyal to the constitution.
Chhipa Samast Jamat Committee for the mass interest of entire Jamat, has framed the social statutes by the approval and unanimous consent of overall Jamat through the elected representatives .Therefore all the well wishers of the community follow the implementation of these statutes considering the same as their own moral and social duty which may be said as a welcoming and admiring fact. A drop of water individually does not have an importance. But when it mingles with ocean its power and existence become huge and extensive which you know.
All of you know also that present era is the time of very much difficult test for us. If we would not know the time we would be defamed and may khuda not do that we may fall in the worst situation. It is sure that if we will not preserve the time, power and own art, the time to come will not preserve us.
In this booklet , the rules of kindness for us and the esteem paths being very much practical, easy ,keeping the brother hood of Chhipa intact, avoiding the unnecessary expense, showing unity and the feeling having the equality are shown. It is expected that, all the brothers and sisters administering the oath with true feeling in the heart to follow the statutes of Jamat will comply with the same and attempt to cause others to be complied with the same.
Namaz is compulsory for all the momins. However, if any person looking benamazi says that he does not perform namaz then why I. If any body looking to a person committing the breach of statutes of Chhipa Samast Jamat Committee says that, he does not respect to the statute of Chhipa Samast Jamat Committee then why I alone should give respect to it. So any prudent and well wisher of Chhipa Samast Jamat will say this argument as baseless and impractical and irresponsible argument and will not cooperate to that person making such argument and even it should not be given.
To give respect to the statute of Chhipa Samast Jamat Committee is equivalent to give respect to Chhipa Samast Jamat Committee. Any person may not commit the madness such as to insult himself while in sound state of mind and without being intoxicated state .
Let us be obligatory to Allah that till this very day, the number of those giving respect to the statute of Chhipa Samast Jamat and complying with the same has remained very satisfactory. They have maintained the greatness of statute of Chhipa Samast Jamat with civility. One cannot live without taking note thereof. Therefore all those persons are entitled for the congratulations of Chhipa Samast Jamat Committee. Therefore we produce the felicitation to all. However, hereafter if any body will attempt to be saved from quite new, expensive , unnecessary or anti Islamic customs and will attempt to save other then, his gentlemanliness shall be considered as a very big service to the Chhipa Samast Jamat.
In the end, it is prayed that may Allah endow the power, understanding and strength to remain loyal to the statutes of Chhipa Samast Jamat Committee and Islamic customs. Amin…Amin….Amin….
