Matters of Tongue

That is why I say that if you protect your tongue then it will be easy to protect your other body parts (from committing sins). Hazrat Wala (Muhi-us-Sunnah Shah Abrar-ul-Haq Haqqi (RA)) used to do the following. If during the talk he picked up speed or his volume increased the he would immediately become completely silent. Or he would change the topic. Or he would leave. Since that was the routine of my Shaikh I too follow the same. Once a person sought permission to visit Hazrat Wala (RA). Hazrat Wala (RA) wrote back that you can come but you do not have the permission to speak. He was permitted to listen only. When he came then he did not speak for some time but later started saying things. Hazrat Wala (RA) called him and reminded him of the condition. Since he had broken the agreement he was asked to leave. Similarly he person gave a gift to Hazrat Shah Wasiullah Sahab (RA). After some time he started offering his opinion about the things. Hazrat (RA) was puzzled. Then this person was called into seclusion. Hazrat (RA) had not used the gift given by that person. Hazrat (RA) said this is the thing that has inspired you to start commenting - now you have to take it back.

Allowed and Forbidden

If you meet the people of Allah(SWT) then they shall tell you about what are allowed things and what are forbidden.

Ignorant Guide

Today we indulge in Dawah. We are calling people to Deen. But we ourselves are ignorant. (Never be oblivious to your own training.)

Learn Recitation

It is obligatory to learn Recitation of Noble Qur'an. If you recite wrongly then you are sinning.

Scholars - The Appropriate Status

Whatever you do - do it after consulting Scholars. Today we degrade Scholars. Degradation of Scholars as well as pride are grave sins.

Preferable for Remembrance

It is preferable that you make an ablution before indulging in Remembrance of Allah(SWT).

Make Your Choice

There is a path to success and progress and there is a path to doom. (We sometimes do ignore such simple facts.)

Cure According to Condition

Condition Changed, Cure Changed. If Shaikh has written one prescription for a patient then it does not mean that the same cure will be applicable to other patients too.

Warning from Horse's Mouth

This is the saying of the same person who started the work of Jama'at. He said that till Jama'at keeps itself busy in Remembrance of Allah(SWT) it shall remain successful while the moment it strays away from remembrance then it will end up in the waywardness.

Gradual Approach

For an infant initially things like egg yolk and  honey are given. If heavier things are fed then it will be very harmful. Only later the child is promoted to bread.

A Blessed Man

Got to meet a person. He is not very old. For last thirteen years he offers his Prayers in Haram and that too in the first row. He is very alert about his presence there.

Shah Abdul Ghani Phoolpuri (RA)

Shah Abdul Ghani Phoolpuri (RA) would enter Haram around three in the morning and would come out around eleven.

How to Attain Spiritual Condition?

Appropriate spiritual condition does not come because of excessive Remembrance of Allah(SWT). (It comes because of regularity.) That is why our Elders advise very small amount of Remembrance in the beginning. (After maintaining this minimal schedule for some time) when the appropriate spiritual condition is achieved then the seeker will himself be able to do higher amounts of remembrance.

Advantage of Fear of Allah

A person in whose heart fear of Allah(SWT) has taken roots will not be demeaned in this world. Also his sustenance will be increased.

(Sitting (Majlis) on Tuesday, March 6, 2012)

By the Hook or by the Crook

The fact that problems of Ummah are increasing is because of the reason that we do not worry about earning pure sustenance. We indulge in breaching of trust. If you fail in an examination because of your adherence to fair means then this is the root to Jannah. If you pass by unfair means and breach of trust then that is the root to Hell.

(Sitting (Majlis) on Tuesday, March 6, 2012)

False Confidence

Today we do not have an inclination towards good deeds. We are busy with bad deeds. Allah(SWT) keeps disbursing our sustenance without distinction. Only occasionally He decides to give a shock.

From Great to Small

The worldly fortunes keep changing. Earlier the name was Great Britain. Now it has got confined to London. (Contraction of the Empire in which the sun found no place to set in.)

(Sitting (Majlis) on Tuesday, March 6, 2012)

Purpose of Efforts

You have come to this world with your fate (this includes sustenance). Work and struggle to get this thing that has been assigned for you.

The Wrong Friendship

In the eventuality of a friendship of Baser Self and Satan - just assume that they are going to destroy the person.

Indulging in This World

The doctor married a princess. Shifted from Lucknow to Baghdad and then to London. He had two flats there in London. When he had to dispose them the house hold things like furniture became a hellinsh task for him.

The Close People

A king gives lots of facilities to his Vizier. But it also entails that the Vizier can not afford to be lax in any of his duties.

Why They Disclose?

It is advisable for man (and woman) to appoint and assign some time to take stock of his (or her) actions. To keep in eye on himself (or herself). To keep auditing himself (herself). Clearly one day, after death, one has to leave this world. So what is it that we are going to take with us? Today we display our actions to world by saying words like, "Alhamdulillah today I recited ten parts (of the Noble Qur'an)". Now for whom you are doing these action He is All-Seeing and All-Hearing (and hence you do not have to make a show of it all). And if People of Allah(SWT) do disclose some of their actions then the purpose is that other people take admonition from their actions.
