Flood of Posts

Question : The posts are appearing at a rate faster than I can read, let alone acting upon the admonitions. What should I do?
Answer: (1) After clearance of the backlog of older sayings and the after reasonable coverage of the overhead information about Islam and the circumstances of Hazrat Shaikh (DB) the rate of posting should settle at a much lower level than the present one.
(2) Application of any admonition must be done under the supervision of an expert (kamil) Shaikh. Hazrat Shaikh (DB) says that repect all the Shaikhs but follow only one.
(3) Mufti Muhammed Aashiq Ilahi Barni (Bulandshahari) Madinah Migratory (NM) has compiled a collection of traditions (adadees). In the foreword he says that these traditions can be read within an hour by a person of average speed. On the other hand, as far as the question of implementing them in life is concerned, these are sufficient for a life time. The least that can be said about the present sayings is that it is not necessarily possible to implement a saying before the appearance of the next one.
