No Fancy Stories

The Verses of the Holy Qur'an are not stories for entertainment. Every line has thousands of admonitions. If you save yourself from sins then lots of knowledge behind them will open up to you.

A Tyrant and His End

There was an atrocious man. His atrocities reached this level that he got his own brother-in-law embedded alive in a wall. His end too was miserable. He was sitting on the railway station in a wretched state. Some one asked as to what is is he waiting for. He said that that he has no conveyance to take him home.

Superiority of Human Race

There is no measure of this Grace of Lord Most High that the sons of Adam have been made the best of the creatures. (But our behaviour does not reflect that.) Even in big institutions you find that people are creating problems for others. Will you never grow old yourself? People indulge in atrocities out of the energy flowing out of youth and young age.

Munificence and Affability

Munificence (Sakhawat) and Affability (Murawwat) is the new topic started by Hazrat Shaikh Hakim Muhammed Kalimullah Sahab (DB). As usual the conversation will flow in various directions beginning with these two desirable qualities.

 ***

Munificent

adjective

1.

extremely liberal in giving; very generous.

2.

characterized by great generosity: a munificent bequest.

 

Affable

adjective

1.

pleasantly easy to approach and to talk to; friendly; cordial; warmly polite: an affable and courteous gentleman.

2.

showing warmth and friendliness; benign; pleasant: an affable smile.

 

Unfortunately the latter word does not serve the purpose required by original Urdu word Murawwat but for the time being we shall compromise on it. 

 

Avoid Failure

Supplicate on Thursdays, Fridays and Mondays (especially) by praying to Allah(SWT) not to fail you.

The Real Degree

The real degree is that certificate you shall get to enter Jannah - all other degrees are temporary. (An associate got his degree of doctor of philosophy.)

Talking About Friends of Allah

It was told yesterday that there are many benefits of talking about friends of Allah(SWT). By talking about them one becomes closer to Allah(SWT). Also by talking about the friends of Allah (SWT) sins are left behind.

Thus Spake Shaikh Sa'adi (RA)

Balaghal ‘ula bi kamalihi
Kashafadujja bi jamalihi
Hasanat jami’u hisalihi
Sallu ‘alayhi wa Aalihi

He attained exaltation by his perfection.
He dispelled darkness by his beauty.
Beauteous are all his qualities,
Benediction be on him and on his family.

O Rab, O Rab

O Rab Make Us Yours

Nawab Ishrat Ali Khan Qaisar (RA)

Yesterday Sunni Forum had reported about the passing away of Nawab Ishrat Ali Khan Sahab Qaisar. The funeral prayer was lead by Mufti Rafi Usmani Sahab (DB) and Nawab Sahab (RA) was laid to rest in the Dar-ul-Uloom cemetery in Karachi. Hazrat Shaikh (DB) was remembering him fondly after the Sitting (Majlis) today. One more significant, a reminder of Thanwi (RA) era, has gone by. Verily we are for our Lord and unto him is our return. (See also.)
