If you make planning to indulge in sins then you'll end up being a sinner. If you make plans to do acts of obedience of Allah(SWT) then you'll end up becoming righteous.
Hadhrat Wala (Muhi-us-Sunnah) (RA) used to warn about giving Zakat to any Madarsa. He said that first make proper inquiry and only then give your Zakat to that Madarsa only then your Zakat will be considered paid. Today there are people who'll tell you tall stories about their Madarsa but actually all worldly things might be taking place there.
The meaning of Pledge (with a Shaikh) is that one comes to hate this world and love the next one. Whole of the house is filled with blessings of Allah(SWT) but this person is all the time aware that one day he (or she) has to leave this world.
Day before yesterday a person (an associate of Muhi-us-Sunnah (RA)) made a telephone call that he saw Muhi-us-Sunnah (RA) in dream. Hadhrat (RA) was asking whether this associate was doing certain pious acts or not. Hazrat Shaikh (DB) concluded from this that this person should become occupied in good deeds.
The whole environment is polluted (with bad character traits). How can one act righteously in this environment? Remember that covering (the shield from above troubles) is a Godly injunction. Why is it not being implemented?
Whatever body parts are indulging in sins these will come under control if we try to remember and realize that Allah Most High is All-Hearing, All-Seeing, All-Aware and All-Knowing.
