LOVE FOR THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI

WASALLAM)

When the Month of Rabi-ul-Awwal arrives and the moon of this glorious month is sighted, then

the gardens of Islam begin to bloom illuminating the fragrance of the most beautifully scented of

flowers, the pearl of the creation of Allah, Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).Itwas in his Sadaqah that the entire universe came into existence. It was for his welcome and to

inform the creation of his coming that Almighty Allah sent various other Prophets on earth. If

Almighty Allah had not sent the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), He would not haverevealed His Rububiyah. He is the Noor of Almighty Allah, Leader and Imam of the Ambiya and

the Rasools. He is the hope of the distraught and the intercessor for the sinners. He is the Maalik

of Jannah and the distributor of the Ne'mahs of Almighty Allah. He is the pride and honour of

the skies and of the earth. The Throne and the rest of the Universe rejoiced on the birth ofSayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). he Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is

not only the perfect human, but he is the splendour of humanity. He is not only for a single

nation, one city, one town or one country, but he is the mercy unto the worlds until Qiyamah. All

the successes and benefits of the world are under the feet of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihiwasallam). All the levels and path that lead to Almighty Allah find their basis from him. Thus,

we should remember him in every breath, on every step and in every time.

A Muslim may make much Salaah, keep much Fasts and perform many Hajj as possible, but

until he does not make his heart the city of love for the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi

wasallam), his faith is incomplete. It is the Hadith that none is a true believer unless he loves theProphet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) more than his life, family, parents and belongings.

Almighty Allah loves the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) so dearly that He swears an

oath on the city, era and age of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). With His Name Allah

always mentions the name of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), showing hisexcellence. When Almighty Allah spoke of other Ambiya, He used their names, but for

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) he used his blessed titles. He loves him sodearly that He and His Angels send Salaams for His Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Love

for the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is love for Almighty Allah. Without his

obedience, there is no obedience to Almighty Allah. Not only should we send Peace and

Salutations, but we should spread the teachings of his life and the Sunnah of Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam). It is useless calling his name while being disobedient to him. If you love

him you will be steadfast in your Salaah. You will never lie and commit sin. A true lover will

never use anything that is Haraam. He will always serve the Servants of Allah and follow the

Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He who loves him truly will not have

pride and show disrespect to his elders. He will always be patient and grateful. The reason forthis is that true love holds great tests and success is to accept the beloved totally. True love and

respect for the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the first condition of Imaan. Mayour lives and death be blessed with the love of our Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

Aameen.

A FEW MU'JIZAS OF THE BELOVED HABEEB (SallalahoAleheWasalam)

A few Mu'jizas of the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are stated below:-

(1) The greatest miracle of the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the Holy Quran

which was revealed upon him. Till this day no person has been able to bring a verse equal to that

of the Holy Quran.

(2) The splitting of the Moon was another great miracle. When Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal

laahu alaihi wasallam) was 52 years old, the leaders of the disbelievers of the Quraish tribe cameto him and said, "If you are a Prophet, then split the moon into two parts." Sayyiduna

Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) dearly wanted the people to convert to Islam,

especially his close friends and relatives. He prayed, raising up his hands, and the moon split into

two equal halves. Each part of the moon was seen above different mountains. The disbelieverssaid, "Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has performed magic." They did not accept

Islam.

(3) Once, while the Muslims were in the midst of a battle with the disbelievers, their water ran

out. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) dipped his blessed hands into some

water and water began to flow from his blessed fingers. This water filled a container, and onlystopped until he took his blessed hand out of the water. It is said that in the Battle of Tabuk 70


19/168

000 Sahaba and their animals drank this water and used it.

(4) One day, Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) met a person who was holding an

idol in his hand: "Will you accept Islam if this idol talks to me?" The idol worshipper said, "I

have been worshipping this idol for 50 years and it has never spoken to me. How will it speak to

you?" Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) looked at the idol and asked, "Whoam I?" A voice was heard from the idol saying: "You are the Prophet of Almighty Allah." When

the idol worshipper heard this, he immediately became a Muslim.

(5) A disbeliever came to Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and asked him: "How

do I know that you are the Prophet of Allah?" Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi

wasallam) answered: "Would you believe in me if that bunch of dates hanging on that tree comesnear me when I order it to?" He said that he would. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi

wasallam) called the bunch of dates. The bunch of dates hobbled over to him. He then said, "Go

back to your place." The dates then went back to its place again. The disbeliever, on seeing this

miracle, became a Muslim.

(6) One day Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) asked a peasant to convert to

Islam. The peasant said that he would accept Islam on condition that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) revive his neighbour's daughter, who was dead. Sayyiduna

Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and the peasant went to a certain grave where the girl

was buried. The Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) called the dead girl by her name.A voice was heard from the grave. The girl appeared. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi

wasallam) asked the girl: "Do you want to come back to the world?" The girl answered: "O

Prophet of Almighty Allah! I do not want to come back to the world. I am happier here than I

was in my father's house. The next world for a Muslim is better than this world." The peasantimmediately accepted Islam.

(7) A dumb boy, who was quite grown up, was brought to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu

alaihi wasallam). He asked the boy: "Who am I?" The boy answered: "You are the Prophet ofAlmighty Allah." Thereafter, the boy was able to speak until his death.

(8) Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Haatib (radi Allahu anhu) says: "I was young and some boilingwater was poured on my body. I was burnt. My father took me to the Beloved Habeeb (sallal

laahu alaihi wasallam). He rubbed his blessed saliva along the burnt places on my body and then

prayed. Immediately, those parts were healed."

(9) A women once sent some honey to the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as a

present. He accepted the present and sent back the "empty" pot. But, when she took the pot, she

saw that the pot was full of honey. The women returned to the Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and asked: "O Prophet of Allah! (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Why did

you not accept my present? I wonder, what is my sin?" Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu

alaihi wasallam) answered, "We have accepted your present. The honey that you see in your potis the blessing given by Almighty Allah for your present." The woman and her children ate this

honey for many months. One day, she unknowingly put the honey into another pot. In the new

pot, the honey was eventually used up. It was reported to the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi


20/168

wasallam) about what had happened. He declared: "If it had been left in the pot that I sent, they

would have eaten it until the end of the world; it would not have decreased at all."

(10) Sayyiduna Anas bin Maalik (radi Allahu anhu) had a shawl which was given to him by the

Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi

wasallam) had wiped his blessed face with it. Sayyiduna Anas (radi Allahu anhu) also used it.When the shawl became stained, he placed it into the fire to remove the stains. Miraculously, the

fire never burnt the shawl but it cleaned the stain on it. This was because the shawl had touched

the blessed body of the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

(11) In the battle of Badr, one of the eyeballs of Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Noman (radi Allahu

anhu) was plucked out and fell on his cheek. He was in great pain and agony. The Sahabadecided to free him from the pain by cutting off his eye completely. One of the Sahaba advised

that he be taken to the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Sayyiduna Rasoolullah

(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) put the eyeball back into it's place with his blessed hand. He

prayed, saying: "O! My Allah! Make his eye beautiful." Sayyiduna Qatadah (radi Allahu anhu's)

eye was more beautiful than the other one. He used to see more clearly with that eye.

(12) During the Battle of Badr, Sayyiduna Okkasha bin Muhsin (radi Allahu anhu) broke hissword on the armour of one of his enemies. When the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi

wasallam)saw him, he gave him a stick and said to him: "Go and fight." As soon as the stick

passed into his hands, it changed into a sharp sword. He fought fiercely with it and killed manyenemies. Sayyiduna Okkasha (radi Allahu anhu) always carried that sword and fought many

battles with it. He named the sword "Aun" or "Help and Victory."

(13) There was a Sahabi by the name of Sayyiduna Safina (radi allahu anhu). He was freed bythe Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam's) wife, Sayyadah Umme Salma (radi Allahu

anha). He served the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) loyally. He was captured by

the disbelievers during the war against the Romans. But, he managed to escape from them. On

his way back, he met a lion. He told the lion that he was the servant of MuhammadurRasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He also explained to the lion what had happened to

him. The lion rubbed himself on Sayyiduna Safina (radi Allahu anhu) and said: "Walk with me!"

They walked together until Muslim soldiers were seen. Then, the lion left.

(14) Sayyiduna Zaid bin Harith (radi Allahu anhu), a very great Sahabi, was travelling to a

distant land. The mule rider, whom he had hired, wanted to kill him. Sayyiduna Zaid bin Haarith(radi Allahu anhu) sought permission from the mule rider to perform two Rakaah of Nafil

Salaah. The mule rider agreed. At the end of his Salaah, the Sahabi called out "Ya Arhamar

Rahimeen" 3 times. As he called out this name each time, a voice was heard saying, "Do not kill

him!" Suddenly, a cavalryman with a sword in his hand appeared and killed the mule rider. Then,turning to Sayyiduna Zaid bin Harith (radi Allahu anhu), the man said, "When you began to say,

'Ya Arhamar Rahimeen,' I was in the seventh heaven. When you said it for the second time, I had

reached the first heaven. The moment that you recited it for the third time, I was here and Irescued you." Sayyiduna Zaid bin Harith (radi Allahu anhu) immediately understood that he (the

man) was an Angel sent by Almighty Allah to assist him.

(15) It was witnessed many times, how the gravel or the food in the blessed hands of the

Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), sounded like bees and recited the Names ofAlmighty Allah.

UNIVERSAL FACTS ABOUT THE HOLY PROPHET (SallalahoAleheWasalam)

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) occupies an exalted, everlasting and themost unique position in the religious history of mankind. Of all the Founders of Religion only

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the first and the last to claim that the

Message which he brought from Allah Ta'ala to mankind is absolutely complete and final, that

his dispensation shall remain in force till the end of the world, and after him no DivineMessenger will come to modify, add, subtract or abrogate any of his teachings. In him, the

institution of Prophethood attained its full, final and most perfect form.

History shows that the world from the beginning has not produced any other man who can rivalthe Prophet of Islam (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the field of his teachings, his actions, his

deeds or practical way of life.

It was Nabi Muhammad's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) grandest contribution to the elevation of

his fellow-men that he re-affirmed the sovereign principle of Monotheism and universal

brotherhood of man transcending all barriers that people erect in ignorance and fear. NabiMuhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) arose in the midst of a society that was cruelly

barbarious, which had no culture, no manners, no society and no civilisation. Humanity was

coming very close to calamity. Imagine the same society is today the noble torch-bearer of a new

and excellent civilisation. This is one of the main miracles the Prophet of Islam (sallal laahualaihi wasallam) performed and world history bears testimony to this truth. In a short span of 23

years he brought under one banner a most barbarous tribe spread over 2 000 000 square miles of

a very remote region of the world.

It is a universal fact that Nabi Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the only Prophet in

whose honour praises have been sung by all other religious leaders and some have rather

recommended to their followers to follow the path of this great Prophet. People like Guru Nanak,the spiritual head of Sikh sect, and George Bernard Shaw, the philosopher, are such personalities.

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) accomplished what he undertook in hisown short span of life with limited means and all round adversities, trials tortures and

tribulations. The task that he accomplished, the work that he did, the manners and the character

that he exhibited, and above all, the way in which he completed this stupendous task, is itself a

clear proof of his being the last and the living Messenger of Allah whose religion is perfect,character blotless and complete, and teachings marvellous in all respects.

What he preached appealed to man's reasons and rational faculties rather than to meresentimentalism, fanaticism, irrationality and superstition. He showed what was crystal clear.

Although he was apostle, philosopher, reformer, religious head, statesman, orator, commander,soldier, administrator, and the head of state, he never sat an inch above the place where his

1. Lord Hadly, Sir Charles Archibald, Thomas Carlyle, H.G. Wells, Gibbon, George Bernard

Shaw, Guru Nanak, Napoleon Bonaparte, Mahatma Gandhi, Bertland Russel, Dozy, Michael H.Hart and a countless number of historians, philosophers, authors, statesmen and orators have

painted a marvellous picture of the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) personality and

echoed to salute him, his preaching and his practices.

2. In a number of religious books of other religions, extraordinary record of the doings of the

Holy Prophet of Islam (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and prophecies about his birth can clearly be

seen. For instance, in Sanskrit religious books the following description is vividly written: "OPeople! Listen to this sympathetically, the man of praise (Muhammad) will be raised amongst

the people whose loftiness of position touch the Heaven and lowers it". (Sanskrit Holy book)

3. Socrates, the Greek philosopher, told his followers that a man will come from Arabian land,

introduce a new religion of purity and peace. He will come earlier and bring prosperity to each

and every one.

4. In the book "Prophet of East", the famous writer of Asia, Diwan Chand Sharma, writes thatMuhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was the soul of kindness and his influence was never

at all forgotten.

5. British Prime Minister, Mr James Callaghan, said on the 5th of February 1979 in a

programme "World this Week" on 1978 and events in 1979 in a television interview with B.B.C.that, "traditions, faith and belief of Prophet Muhammad's religion, Islam commands great support

and are indeed very worthy beliefs".

6. In the famous book, "The 100 Great", Sayyiduna Rasoolullah's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)name has been selected to be first of all others. The writer, Mr Michael H. Hart, writes that he is

the only one in the world who is the greatest in the worldly affairs as well as in the ecclesiastical

affairs alike.

7. There are thousands of the authors of the world, including Russians, who have placed

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) name on the top of the Law Givers of the

World.

8. Prof. Muir writes: "All agree in ascribing to the youth of Muhammad (peace be on him) a

modesty of truth and purity of manners rare amongst the people. Endowed with refined mind anddelicate taste, reserved and humble, he lived much within himself. The fair character and

honourable bearing of unobtrusive youth was the approbation of his fellow citizens and by

common consent received the title of 'Al Amin' - The Trustworthy. Even those who opposed him

agreed to this title".

9. Mr Marcus Dods writes in his book, "Muhammad, Buddha and Christ": "Certainly

Muhammad had most important characteristics of the Prophetic order. He saw truth about Godwhich fellow men did not see, and he had an irresistible inward impulse to publicise this truth. In

respect of this latter qualification, Muhammad may stand first in comparison to most courageous

of the heroic Prophets of Israel. For truths sake he risked his life, he suffered daily persecution


24/168

for years and eventually banishment, the loss of the property, separation of his fellow citizens

and of his friends, he suffered in short as much as any man can suffer short of death. No bribe,threat or inducement could silence him".

10. Arthur Gilman, in his famous book, "Saracens", writes: "The day Muhammad's (peace be on

him) greatest triumph over his events was also the day of his grandest victory over himself. Hefreely forgave the Koraysh. Muhammad's victory was in very truth one of religions and not of

politics, he rejected every token of personal homage and declined all legal authority and when

the naughty chiefs appeared before him he asked, 'what you can expect at my hands? ' 'Mercy Ogenerous brother.' 'Be it so. You are free', he exclaimed".

11. In the book, "The History of Intellectual Development", Mr John William Draper, says: "AProphet was born at Mecca in Arabia, the man who of all men has exercised the greatest

influence upon human race".

12. Sir Charles Edward Archibald was a Lieutenant in the British Royal Defence Corpse. He

was also the President of the Royal Selsy Conservative Society of Britain. He was so muchinfluenced by the life and works of Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Prophet, that

he embraced Islam on 20th December 1923. Abdullah was his new name. He was a popularwriter, thinker, statesman and was familiarly known as Sir Abdullah Hamilton. He has written

volumes on Islam, and in praise of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

13. John Davenport says: "There is no doubt that amongst all Lawgivers and Conquerors, there

is not a single one whose life story is found in more details and authenticity than that of Prophet

Muhammad (peace be upon him)".

14. Dr A.K. Germanus, a well-known historian and author of Hungary, who was also for a few

years in association with Rabindranath Tagore, embraced Islam and his new name was Abdul

Karrim. This was all due to the influence of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah's (sallal laahu alaihi

wasallam) teaching and his practical life which he studied thoroughly.

15. A number of other non-Muslim authors of Europe, Asia and Africa have also written

volumes on the Prophet of Islam. Only a cursory glance at these books will show as to howminutely they have studied the life of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and

reached at a definite conclusion that he was the greatest of all. Some of them have declared the

Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as the President of all the Prophets of Allah.

16. Dr Johnson paid his tribute to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the

following words: "His purely historical character, his simple humanity, claiming only to be a

man among men, his intense realism, avoiding all mystical remoteness; his rejection of miracle;the thoroughly democratic and universal form under which his idea of the Divine monarchy led

him to conceive the relations of men; the force of his ethical appeal; ... all affiliate Muhammad

(peace be upon him) with the modern world".

17. George Bernard Shaw opines: "I believe that if a man like Muhammad (peace be upon him)

were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems


25/168

in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness".

The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) shed a brilliant light on all problems with which

humanity has had to tackle and grapple. His sayings deserve to be studied by all those who want

justice, equality and brotherhood established upon earth.

Let us inform our western world that their Prophet Jesus (I'sa alaihis salaam) declared in the

most explicable terms to his followers, thus, "O Children of Israel, surely I am the Messenger of

Allah to you verifying that which is before me of the Torah and giving the good news of aMessenger of Allah who will come after me his name being Ahmad (Muhammad)".

The historians of the world have whole-heartedly admitted that Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) is that supreme model of human conduct and behaviour that we are

enjoined to emulate and imitate. "As regards all standards by which human greatness is

measured, we may ask, is there any one greater than Prophet Muhammad?" (Lamartine)

He lived 13 years at Makkah and 10 years in Madina Shareef. He lived the most simple life, hekept all his Companions close to him and all the 23 years were his years of hard toil and

continuous exertion. He fought battles and wards, won them, managed the affairs of the State andgave justice to friend and the foe alike, and his words had a magical impact upon life action and

behaviour of all humanity.

In only 10 years that he lived in Madina Shareef, he destroyed idolatry, uprooted all evils from

the society, raised woman from the status of a chattel to a complete legal equality with man,

eradicated drinking and immorality which had till then disgraced the human race, made men in

love with faith sincerity and absolutely honest dealings, transformed tribes who had been forcenturies content with all kinds of ignorance into a people with ever increasing thirst for

knowledge, and for the first time in human history made universal human brotherhood a fact and

principle of common law. The life of the Holy Prophet of Islam infact was a miracle in itself

judging the above facts.

Writing on the personality of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Sir Stanley

Lane-Poole says: "In his habits he was extremely simple, although he bestowed great care on hisperson. His eating and drinking, his dress and his furniture retained, even when he had reached

the fullness of power, their almost primitive nature. The only luxuries he indulged in were arms,

which he highly prized, and a pair of yellow boots, a present from the Negus of Abyssinia.Perfumes, however, he loved passionately, being most sensitive to smells. Strong drinks he

abhorred. "He was gifted with mighty powers of imagination, elevation of mind, delicacy and

refinement of feeling. He is more modest than a virgin behind her curtain, it was said of him. He

was most indulgent to his inferiors, and would never allow his little page to be scolded whateverhe did. Ten years, said Anas, his servant, I was about the prophet, and he never said as much as

'uff' to me.

"He was very affectionate towards his family. One of the boys died on his breast in the smoky

house of the nurse, a blacksmith's wife. He was very fond of children; he would stop them in the

streets and pat their little heads. He never struck anyone in his life. The worst expression he ever


26/168

made use of in conversion was 'What has come to him? May his forehead become darkened with

mud!' When asked to curse someone he replied, 'I have not been sent to curse, but to be a mercyto mankind'.

"He visited the sick, followed any bier he met, accepted the invitation of a slave to dinner,

mended his own clothes, milked the goats, and waited upon himself, relates summarily anothertradition. He never first withdrew his hand out of another man's palm, and turned not before the

other had turned.

"He was the most faithfully protector of those he protected, the sweetest and most agreeable in

conversation. Those who saw him were suddenly filled with reverence. Those who came near

loved him; they who described him would say, 'I have never seen his like either before or after'.He was of great reservedness, but when he spoke, it was with emphasis and deliberation, and no

one could forget what he did".

Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France says: "Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a prince;

he rallied his compatriots around him. In a few years, the Muslims conquered half of the world.They snatched away more souls from false gods, pulled down more idols, demolished more

pagan temples in fifteen years than the followers of Moses and Jesus did in fifteen centuries.Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a great man. He might have been, in fact, a god, if the

revolution which he was instrumental in bringing about had not been prepared by circumstances.

When he appeared, the Arabs had been, since many years, afflicted with civil wars. All thosenations that have achieved great things have done them when they came out of such ordeals that

renewed equally their souls and their bodies. If the battles of Kadesia and (gap in the original

MSS) which enabled the intrepid Muslims to plant the standard of the Prophet on the banks of

the Oxus and on the frontiers of China; if those of Ajnadin and Yarmuk, which caused Syria andEgypt to fall under their dominion, were turned against them; if the Khalids, the Zerars and the

Amrs had been defeated and repelled to the vast deserts, the Arabs would have gone back to their

wandering life; they would have lived like their forefathers, poor and miserable; the names of

Muhammad, Ali, and Omar would have remained unknown to the World".

The Prophet of Islam (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) attained eminence due to his excellence. He

dispelled the darkness with his radiance. Very splendid are his qualities and on him and hisfamily. May Allah Ta'ala shower His blessings in countless number. If we recite Durood in

abundance, we are sure to enter Paradise safe and sound.

Though I be in the west and my disciple in the East, if a world goes to attack him, I

know. I will save him.

Look towards that person who looks towards you. Love that person that loves you, listen

to that person that listens to you and give your hands in his hands that are prepared to

grasp it.

A mans position in life is such that though he is mortal he is reborn with pleasure in the

winds of afflictions. It is that very same life whose consequence is not death. It is that

very same comfort which has no extreme anguish.

That person who has enmity against a well to do companion, he totally rejects the

wisdom and foresight of the sustainers. Many wealthy people because of greed are poor and needy, in reality the brave person is

he who wrestles and defeats the devil of greed and thereafter becomes independent and

without want of need from this material World.

The person who backbites and speaks ill of us are actually our success because they pay

homage to us by writing their good deeds into our deed books.

Look carefully at the previous graves lying in ruin. How the sands of beautiful people areturning bad.


29/168

If you do not find the sweetness of doing a good deed then be aware that you have not

done that deed.

Disrespect earns the displeasure of the creator and the creation.

To please the enemies of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala is beyond comprehension and

wisdom.

O! Gifts do not imprison me so that I become unmindful to the benefactor. O! Doers of good deeds giving birth to sincerity in your deeds can never be a wasted

effort.

Among the creation, silence is not bravery but rather impatience.

The person who cannot educate his own soul, then how is he going to educate others.

The love of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam is

intertwined in poverty and starvation.

The love of the World generally blinded the eyes, those eyes which should have been

used to identify the specialties of the Almighty Creator.

The person who becomes aware of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala then he becomes

hospitable towards the creation.

Preach only in accordance to religion otherwise remaining dumb is better. To adopt anonymity and unwholesomeness relative to it is peaceful.

As long as there remains on this earth one person in your heart whom you fear or havehigh expectations of, then until then your Faith is not complete.

Until you still possess arrogance and anger you cannot classify yourself amongst the

learned.

That sustenance whose extent is expansive but no thanks is given for it and that means of

livelihood which is difficult but no patience is shown for it become a source of revolt and

mischief.

Always hold the best opinions about others and think ill of yourself.

O! Alim do not soil your knowledge by sitting in the company of Worldly people. Your speech will tell what is in your heart.

An oppressor destroys the World of the oppressed, and his own in the hereafter.

To start something good is your job and to see it completed is the work of your creator.

A wise person first question his heart thereafter speaks with his mouth.

To remain alone is protection and safety and to every sin there is a period of execution.

Except for the needs of your children and family do not leave the house unnecessarily.

Endeavor not to start a conversation and your speaking becomes necessary only to

answer a question.

Keep your mouth closed from answering unnecessary questions so that you can remainsafe from unnecessary talk.

That person who is never distressed, has no virtue.

Material people chase the World while the World chases the friends of Allah SubHanuhu

wa Ta'ala .

This World is a World of exertion for a Momin while the hereafter is a World ofrelaxation.

Suspicion closes all the benefits to be accrued.

An understanding person finds no joy in anything, for it has accountability, for being

lawful or a punishment for it being unlawful.


30/168

To make the soul receive the truth is its existence while making it receive failures, errors,

falsehood and wrongdoings is its annihilation.

Those who belong to Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala carry out his commands and even their

hearts are reinforced by it. You carry on committing sin then to you have no fear. This is

obvious evidence of betrayal. Beware; safeguard yourself for you may be caught out

unawares when your allotted time is up. A disrespectful becomes the object of displeasure and wrath of both the creator and the

creation.

Iman (Faith) is the root while deeds and actions are its branches. Therefore stay awayfrom associating with your Iman and sin with your actions.

First there is ignorance, thereafter knowledge, then follows practice upon your

knowledge, thereafter sincerity upon that action and finally comes understanding andwisdom in the heart.

If you do not have patience then poverty and sicknesses become a misfortune and if youadopt patience then it becomes nobility and graciousness.

To gain the happiness of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala is impossible if you cannot make a

poor person happy. The treatment for afflictions upon oneself is to gain the happiness andpleasure of the poor.

Whosoever asks of the creation is blind to the doors of the creator.

You are busy in fulfilling the desires and wishes of the soul (nafs) while the nafs is busyin destroying you.


31/168

That person is close to Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala who is kind and affectionate towards

the creation.

Rejection (kufr) of the divine blessings and providence is contrary to achieving closeness

to the truth.

Hundreds of thousands of people just like you have been fattened and then swallowed by

this World. Do not be fooled by your youthful appearance for very soon it would be taken away from

you.

Poverty saves one from sin and wealth is a trap for sins regard poverty as your protector.

To make a poor person happy makes one the inheritor of and undisclosed amount of

reward.

What are you going to do by taking the bounties? Take the merciful and compassionateone. Every pious person is from the progeny and following of Muhammad SallAllaho

Alaihi wa Sallam.

He whose fate is ultimately death then what is the need for happiness.

People do not regard you with respect because you are proud and vain but rather they

look up to you when you are polite and hospitable. Keep your hearts open only for Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and to busy yourself in

earning a means of livelihood for your family is also following the commands.

To remember death is the best treatment for all ailments.

Worship and prayers breaks unwanted habits and should not be but a habit only.

The person who wishes to tame his soul should bridle it with silence and good etiquettes.

Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala asks a loan of his servants and the messengers of this are the

beggars.

For the whole period I spent in the companionship of my sheikh (spiritual guide) I have

never seen the whiteness of his teeth.

Whenever it is possible reform each morsel for the foundations of good deeds lies in it.

The creation are like children in relation to the saints of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala .

It is a lie if one says by sitting in the company of those women with whom relationships

are lawful and young boys; one has absolutely no inclination towards them. Islamic

principles (Shariah) is neither definitely not in agreement nor does a sound mind allowfor such conformities and this is total rejection of Shariat for Shariah has never givenanyone exemption from this.

When the angels do not enter a house in which there are images pictures then how do you

expect Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala to enter your heart which is full of thousands of

statues and idols. Anything else besides Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala presence in the heartis images and idols.

A visit to the pious person communicates the condition of the person.

The key to the closeness to the truth is in private consultations and journeys.

Do not become subservient to the gifts in such a manner that you forget the bestowal ofthe gifts.

The provisions and luggage undoubtedly is modesty, such that, because of it, the doors of

sovereignty and reality seem closed.

It is not becoming of a momin to sleep until he has kept his will and testimonyready.

The obedience of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala is by asking and not by desiring.


32/168

You are busy in building mansions and palaces for others to stay in while; its

accountability rests entirely on you.

O! Children of Adam Alaihis Salaam be modest towards Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala as

you would be modest towards your religious neighbor.

When a person commits a sin, he closes the doors, draws the veils and hides from the

creation and goes against the commands of the creator in private, and then the creatorsays, O! Son of Adam Alaihis Salaam you have regarded me the least amongst those that

can see you because you found it necessary to hide yourself from the creation yet you

have not shown modesty and shame even equivalent to that of the creation towards me.

It is not beneficial to be a master at speech when you are immature at heart.

Be obedient with a direction; dont become obedient to the masses. Do not become a polytheist by regarding your wealth as absolute and total power of

assistance.

O! You who make fun of others very soon you will know the answer to your own fate.

O! Munafiqa (Hypocrites) very soon you will see the punishment of Allah SubHanuhu

wa Ta'ala descending upon you in this World and the hereafter. The times are pregnant

and very soon you will see what it gives birth to. Your actions are proof of your belief and your exterior appearance is a sign of your

interior condition.

To turn your face towards the creation is to turn your back towards Allah SubHanuhu wa

Ta'ala .

Empty desires are the jungle of stupidity and folly and only the foolish hustle and bustleaimlessly within it.

Make silence your habit, anonymity you clothing, escape from the creation your aim and

if it is possible then dig the hole and sit down in it. This habit should stay with you until

such time that you Iman (Faith) has reached an age of maturity and is unquestionable.

Those that wish the approval of the creation should show patience of the oppression of

the created.

Do not turn away from the creator because of some misfortune, because he may be

testing you with it.


33/168

Moderation is half of ones sustenance (livelihood) and good manners is half ofreligion (Deen).

O Doers of good deeds! Adopt sincerity otherwise it is wasted effort.

If you are afraid of your destination then whichever way or wherever you look at, youwill find that you are surrounded by ferocious beasts.


34/168

Good deeds are done in privacy and not in public except that which is Fard (compulsory)

which is performed in exposure.

Everything that you rely on, every person you afraid of or you keep that trust in, becomes

your God.

1. Special testimony 2. Making the commands of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala

compulsory upon yourself 3. Not to fear or trust anyone 4. To make all your needs awareonly to Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and put your Faith in him, To ask of him alone and

never put your trust in anyone except Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala .

A seeker is not truthful until he places the needs of sustenance of his companions overand above the sustenance of his soul and desires.

Remain honourable among the people, for by revealing your poverty you will fall in

status in their eyes.

Meet the wealthy and rich with dignity ad prevalence and the poor with humility and

humbleness.

Your keeping the company of careless and negligent people is a sigh of your carelessness

and negligence.
