Factually Speaking

Greatness belongs to Allah Most High. This characteristic is not found in human beings. (By thinking about Greatness of Allah Almighty it becomes easy to give up sins.)

Three Compassionate Positions

Teacher, father and Shaikh, these three are positions of compassion. Today we are fond of being fathers but we do not know how to be fathers (to be compassionate). We are fond of being teachers but we do not know how to be teachers (to be compassionate). We are fond of being Shaikhs but we do not know how to be Shaikhs (to be compassionate).

Times of Short Temper

Today by smallest provocation we end up taking such actions that effect whole life. An associate became fiery and angry in a monastery (khanqah) because of some mistake by some one else. The Shaikh admonished him by saying that if I do not have a patience then I shall leave this monastery. Today on the slightest mistake we start calling our wives names. For People of Allah the anger is for things related to Allah only and it is not that on a small mistake you start calling your wife mean and all that.

Rules as a Blessing

Allah Most High has the authority to send whomsoever to Heaven and whomsoever to Hell but He has made a rule. Those who do bad deed will be consigned to Hell and who indulge in good deeds will be sent to the heaven.

Disappearing Respect

Earlier people used to please Allah Most High. (They got respect because of that.) Today we are trying to please the creatures. How do we expect to get respect?

How to Insert the Holy Qur'an Inside Cloth Cover

There is one Alwi Sahab in Lucknow. He told somebody as to how to put the Holy Qur'an in its cloth covering. The opening side should go in first and the back last. When Shah Hardoi (RA) heard it he liked it a lot and asked others also to follow this method.
