Some Background Work

While going through the biography of Muhi-us-Sunnah (QS) at An-noor it was realized that the Seekers are curious about the locations of the caliphs. Indications about the locations of the caliphs have been added in the relevant post.

All of us have to leave this world, sooner or later. Nevertheless it was eerie to note that so many of the caliphs of Shah Hardoi (RA) are no more with us.

One day we have to die, at the end there is death,
Do whatever you can, at the end there is death.

Karle jo karna hai, aakhir maut hai.)

On Criticism

Today we indulge in criticism of others and sometimes even in denigration. We do not look at our faults. We do not turn our attention to our own selves. Whatever time you have spend that in obedience of Lord.

Brain Transplant

Nowadays we hear a lot about organ transplant. But not brain transplant. (Why this limitation? Can't we think of and turn to our Lord Most High?)

Waiting for September 24

Whole Generation (ummat) is worried as to what will happen on that day. What will happen? Why don't we turn to Allah Almighty?

(The reference is to the coming announcement of the judgment on Babri Masjid property dispute by the Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court.)

Thanklessness

Think as follows. Should I disobey that Lord who gave me to eat and drink, who produced the means for my education, who gave me the post I hold, who is giving my sustenance? Even then if you end up committing something wrong then repent and turn back to Lord Most High.

Benefits of Obedience

Attend to your duties. As a result Allah will open up new vistas of knowledge to you. Act upon Lord's commandments and do every thing for Him only. If you visited a place then why did you do that. For Lord Most High. Because He likes courtesy visits, for example. Even entertainments like horse riding and archery are included in that.

Decisions of Lord Most High

Surgeons will tell you that all internal body organs have different colours. Bones are white, heart has a different colour, liver different, kidney yet another colour. These can not be changed. Blood is red. If it becomes black then it is sign of disease, there must be septic. Calcium reached where it should. So does phosphate. And other chemicals. These have signs of Allah Almighty for those who can perceive.

Europe, by the Way

In past the Prophet (AS) will admonish the people but they will continue with their ways. This brought Allah's wrath on them. In modern times Europe is passing through similar havoc.

A Desirable Attitude

Whatever you do adopt religion in that. Find out as to what is the Doctrinal directive concerning that action. Keep fast because that is what Lord Most High wants of us. An argument for fasting may be that it will save expenditure. This is an argument from the baser self. Why am I eating? Because Allah Most high wants. Why am drinking water? Because Allah Most High wants.

Reforming the Intentions

How to correct our intentions? Just think that Lord Most High is All-Hearing and All-Seeing. This will bring His fear into our heart. This will lead to cleaning up of intentions. This is what is called Purity (ikhlas).
