The Signature Etiquette

Once Hazrat Shaikh (DB) was in Saharanpur, visting some Shaikh. Hazrat Shaikh (DB) introduced himself by saying that my name is Kalimullah and I have come from Aligarh. The Shaikh said you seem to be a Thanwi! Shah Hardoi (RA) too had this as a habit. He'll introduce himself by saying that my name is Abrar-ul-Haq and I have come from Hardoi.

Etiquette Belongs to Learning

Once beloved Prophet (PBUH) asked a Companion to teach a newly arrived Bedouin the etiquette of arriving.

Unfathomable Ocean

Till now so many exegeses of the Holy Qur'an have been written but these are still not sufficient.

Going By the Visible Power

Obeying Prophet (PBUH) is like obeying Lord Most High. We obey everything told by the government but not the things demanded by Allah. (This betrays lack of faith in the unseen.)

The Traditionist Around

Shaikh Abdul Haq Muhaddis (DB) of Dar-ul-Uloom, Deoband has arrived at Anona House. He is a senior Traditionist (muhaddis) and a caliph of Hazrat Shaikh (DB). The news is that arrival of Qari Amir Hasan

Sahab (DB) is postponed for about two weeks. Verily Lord has Power over everything.

(P.S.: Later on Qari Sahab (DB) came and left.)

Making Obedience Easy

Save yourself from sins. If you do that then you automatically will start indulging in obedience.

Manifestation of Our Priorities

Today coaching centers are opening in the nook and corners but people find it difficult to spare even few rupees for Arabic tutorees. A blessing that is not valued is taken away by Lord Most High. That is when we start wondering as to what happened.

Praise My Recitation

Today that Reciter (Qari) is considered good who can indulge in vocal tricks-high pitch, long breath and all that. There is not much attention to Pronunciation (tajweed). Once Qari Niyaz Sahab (RA) (a famous Qari of Aligarh) was in Saudia. An Egyptian Qari made his recitation and asked him about it. Qari Niyaz Sahab said that it was good (theek hai, theek hai). The Egyptian Qari was angry. "You did not praise my Recitation enough", he complained. Finally the Recitation by these two people were recorded and were sent to a third Qari in Pakistan. This Qari, after listening to them both, declared that the voice of the Egyptian is very good while deliverywise the Recitation by Qari Niyaz Sahab (RA) is proper.

"English is My First Language"

We speak very good language but our Surah Fatiha is not correct.

Ho hum! He Made It!!

When a person gets into IAS then there is distribution of sweets and celebrations. But there is no attention to religion (deen). These worldly things are for a rather short duration. When troubles are encountered then very soon we start crying that the Complete Generation (Ummat-e-Muslimah) is in bad shape.
