Modern vs Religious Education Again

To study Science is only a social duty (farz-e-kafaya) and not a personal duty (farz-e-ain). Today even from centers of religious education one is hearing such statements that promote acquisition of worldly sciences to the level of personal duty. Nobody is forbidding the modern education but people's priorities should be right. Acquire modern education but keep religion on priority.

The Art of Speaking

To be a good speaker is not an excellence if the person has not gone through self-correction. Thus Hakim Akhtar Sahab (DB) never made any speeches. He focused only on serving his Shaikhs. And when he was asked to start speaking then he did so well that he became world famous.

Meal on Airport

Once meal was delivered to Muhi-us-Sunnah (RA) on Jeddah airport. Since there was no tablespread there it was a problem. High Hazrat (RA) took out his kerchief and spread it out. Somebody said that it will be soiled. He said that it can be washed but a missed Sunnah can not be brought back.

Small Warnings

Because of our misdeeds different kinds of calamities are befalling us. We just got the news that it has been raining heavily in Jeddah and many lives have been lot. Usually there is no rain there and therefore there no system to drain out rain-water. Thus the rain water has no place to flow out.

Focus of Muhi-us-Sunnah (RA)

High Hazrat (Shah Hardoi (RA)) was very eager on two things: The Holy Qur'an and Sunnah.

The Designated Chair

The holder stand (rahal) for the Holy Qur'an is specific and dedicated for it. Even religious books will not be kept on it. Even Tradition (hadees) books will not be kept on it.

Following Footsteps of Shaddad

Today disobedience is on peak. At the same time frugality is disappearing. At the slightest excuse we start resorting to revolt. Because of this only Allah Most High has said that very few of my servants are thankful.

Story of Shaddad

Allah Most High took away the life of Shaddad's mother in a boat where no one else was there but He sustained him even there. Later on Shaddad turned to transgression and made his own heaven on the earth. And when he entered it Allah got his soul captured when one of his feet was inside and another inside.

Character of Friends of Allah

When Prophets (AS) can fall s sick then why not the friends of Allah? The characteristic of the friends of Allah is that they are agreeable to Lord Most High in every condition. They are pleased with the pleasure of Allah.

Arrow That sas Left the Bow

An arrow that has left the bow does not return. This is the Habit of Allah Most High. But Supplications sometimes changes even this. Once a plane took off in time but many passengers were left behind. These were Haj pilgrims. After covering half the distance the pilot realized that the fuel will not be sufficient to cover the rest of the journey. He could have headed for Dubai or Karachi for refueling but  soon High Hazrat (RA) saw signs boards in Hindi on the ground. The plane was back to Bombay (now Mumbai). All the Haj pilgrims that were left behind were all accommodated. Moreover a passenger got down from the plane because of some reason and the plane took off without him-he could not take the flight again!
