Matter of Tack

A person wrote to Hazrat Thanwi (RA) that I was in Pledge with that particular Shaikh (name of a Shaikh). Now he is no more and I want to enter a Pledge with you. Hazrat (RA) wrote to him that you have been following a particular Tack (Maslak) (that must have been different from Hazrat Thanwi (RA)'s tack) therefore you are not accepted for Pledge. He wrote back that Hazrat till I was with him I followed his tack. Now after coming to you I shall completely follow your tack.

Different Injunctions for Different Times

There is a rule that if the situation is changed then the injunction too is changed. This is not a deviation but an injunction of the Doctrine (Shariah).

Two Colours

There is temporary colour and there is permanent. The temporary colour disappears after some time-not the permanent colour.

A Gift of Obedience

If you indulge in obedience then you'll acquire an attraction in your heart.

The One Who Sketches Living Beings

Why is there curse on the artist? (Because it is a grave sin.) Today parents and grandparents are collected with children and grand children and photographs are being taken. People are entering sins. Remember protecting yourself from sin is an obligation.

Limitations of Theory

The people of knowledge might explain a point very lucidly but it is not necessary that they will also be practitioner of the said thing. Many times the case is such that their speech is mere rhetoric.

Wont Look Up

There was an elder of Deoband who would not look up while talking to people. Somebody asked as to how he managed life (with this self imposed restriction)? He said that if the person is known to me then there is no problem because I am talking to him with tongue while the hands are busy doing their work. On the other hand if it is an unknown person then there is no benefit in looking at him.

Sensitivity of Hakim-ul-Ummah (RA)

Hazrat Thanwi (RA) could not stand the sight of other people's stomach. (It is supposed to remain covered.) If he accidentally saw somebody's abdomen then he threw up. Similarly Hazrat Wala (Muhi-us-Sunnah Shah Abrar-ul-Haq Sahab (RA)) was a born Friend (Wali of Allah). It these people who's followers we claim to be.

Boys and Girls

What is it in which the modern generation involved? Watching films and the like. Now it is there on the mobile itself. Boys and girl come (for consultation). I ask them whether they watch TV. The answer is always in the affirmative. Everyday people come and tell that though my daughter prays five times but she also watches television. Now let us get it clear-either you take Religion (deen) or this world. (Unfortunately) people leave out religion and take up this world.

God's Affection

Allah (SWT) says that you have claim to being my friend but you indulge in sins. Remember even a single sin is sufficient to waste the brightness (shining, light, noor) of obedience. If a person commits a sin and is not repenting then it is like a black spot and disappearance of light.
