Recitation in Lahore

There is a monastery in Lahore where you can see that Recitation is going on all the time. It might be the second place after Haram Sharief regarding the volume of Recitation. This is happening even after the Shaikh (RA) has left this world. He must have been doing a lot of Recitation in his life and after him Allah Most High has continued his action.

Lack of Attention

The current running topic concerns Recitation of the Holy Qur'an. The Muhammeden Generation is paying little attention to it. Turn to it yourself and and call others attention to it. Today one is a Hafiz but even then there is not much Recitation, why? This is because of lack of attention and inclination. The Masha-ikh tell us to start paying attention in small amount. It is like this that when somebody has got stomach upset then the person is advised to intake some very light food in small amount for few days. If the heavy food is taken then the patient will relapse into the same ailment. Similarly the return to Recitation should be implemented in small amounts first.

May Be This Is Time

Many people has expressed the experience that they do not find discussion of the matters (masa-il) occurring in their life in Heavenly Ornaments (Bahishti Zewar). Many problems have disappeared, not because of mass reorientation in the direction of Right Path but because of the pressures of modern life. Similarly too many new problems have appeared. Thus while reading some of the matters one gets the feeling that the point being discussed is not so urgent anymore. May be the Scholars should compile a new volume for addressing new problems arising. If you feel connected with the problem under discussion then may be this is time to put the situation before the Elders for consideration.

Check Your Source

I have been repeating about the Holy Qur'an. The first thing is that learn it from some body. Reading exegesis too may not be beneficial (unless taught by a scholar). Also inquire about the writer of exegesis. Even Vinova Bhave wrote an exegesis but he did not declare faith. Writing exegesis is not a simple task. Even Ali Miyan (RA) did not try his hands on it.

Signs of Doomsday

Today we get palpitations in the Mosque. We can stay for hours in the market but in the Mosque if the Imam is late by a few minutes then we start criticizing him.

Service with Ablution

A person said that till I was in the service of Hazrat-o-Aala I remained with Ablution.

Incompetence and All

Today our reformation is incomplete. Today when we go (to the People of Allah) then we do not return with any gain, nay, we return with loss only.

The Proud People

Those people who indulged in pride, they all went to the bad destination. Today nobody says that we are among the generation of Abu Jahl.

A Religious Man in Debt

A man was caught in debt. He had a religious orientation. He said to the family that the amount of milk for the family will be reduced and meat will be cooked only once in a weak in the house. very soon his debt got repaid.
(Hazrat Thanwi (RA) said that people talk about and try to increase the earnings which is not voluntary at all. They do not resort to reducing the expanses which is completely voluntary.)

Coarse Grain

Times keep changing for people. Once a relative (of Hazrat Shaikh (DB)) told that many years ago the situation became so constrained that they could not afford wheat flour for the family. When the bread made out of coarse grain flour was used then it will just not hold the gravy of the curry-it was hear breaking.
