- If the name of Allah is uttered even once with the tongue, it is the dhikr (remembrance) of the tongue; if Allah is remembered once with the heart, then that is equal to thirty five million utterances (dhikr) of the tongue. Such is the dhikr of the heart. There are 35 million blood vessels in the body, and all are connected to the heart. If Allah�s name is uttered even once (with the heart) then all the vessels utter it too.
- In a river, a boat travels on the water and the greater the amount of water, the more at ease the boat will be. However if that very water enters the boat, it will capsize. The heart is as the boat and the sorrows and heartaches of the world are the water; everyone�s boat has sunk except that of the people of Allah�those who do dhikr�which always stays afloat.
- Allah [May He be Exalted!] has created Hell for the enemies of the Holy Messenger [sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam] and Paradise for those who are his lovers. Those people who worry about whether they will go to Heaven or Hell after death, should ask themselves whether they are lovers of His Excellency (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) or amongst his enemies.
- "Kullu jadeedin lazeezun"; you may like every new thing of this world but in your Faith [Deen] you must stick with the same, ancient, Islam as that of your Predecessors.
- If a man has bad (sinful) actions [�amal] so be it, but Allah forbid that his Belief [�aqeedah] is bad. In a hadith it is written that run from a leper as you would from a lion; those with bad Belief are lepers of the heart�protect yourself from them, in fact do not even sit where they have sat.
- Constant contemplation [fikr] about prayer [salat; namaz] is given the name prayer i.e. a person is busy doing some work but his heart is always thinking about the (next) prayer so that sometimes he asks about the time, sometimes he looks at his watch, at other times he looks at the (position of) the sun, to make sure that he doesn�t miss the (correct) prayer time. Until such contemplation is achieved, the prayer is just a ritual and a habit which is being performed. May Allah Almighty grant us such contemplation!
- If a farmer uses a plough all his life but does not plant the seeds, can his crops grow? Of course not! Using the plough is fasting [sawm], prayer [salat], pilgrimage [Hajj] and sowing the seeds is charity [zakat]. If one does not give zakat, all his praying, fasting and making the pilgrimage is in vain.
- If two tasks need to be performed, one for the Faith [Deen], the other for the world [dunya], then perform the one for the Deen first. Through it�s blessing [baraka�] the worldly task will also be achieved.
- Every supplication [dua�] has two wings: lawful earnings, and a truthful tongue. Whoever earns through lawful [halal] means and speaks the truth, his supplication will definitely be accepted.
- Whoever asks from you in fact does you a favour, for he asks you for a paisa [a hundredth of a rupee] and Allah rewards you for (giving) it seven-hundred fold.
- Saying, �La ilaha il Allah� (there is no god but Allah) makes one a muwwahid (monotheist), not a Believer (mu�min). So when will you become a Believer? When you say �La ilaha il Allahu Muhammadur Rasul Allah� (there is no god but Allah (and) Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah). For us the greatest blessing (ni�mat) is that of Iman (Faith).Even Satan recites �La ilaha il Allah�, but why is he still known as the Accursed? He (even) says, �Inni akhafullaha Rabbal aalamin� (Verily, I have fear of Allah, the Lord of the Worlds). All the different groups in the world are believers in the Oneness of God [tawhid], whether they be bhangis, choorhay-chamaar,Christians, or some other group, but why are they accursed (mala�un)? Because they only say, �There is no god but Allah� but omit �Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah�.
- When the blessed name of the Chief of Both the Worlds (Muhammad), sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, comes on one�s tongue, all one�s lifetime of blasphemy [kufr], polytheism [shirk], and all one�s sins are erased.
- In this day and age it is common to hear that do not praise His Excellency (Muhammad), sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, beyond his limit. But only one who knows a limit can go beyond it. If someone does not know the limit, how will he exceed it? Apart from Allah Almighty no one knows the limits of the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam); reading his noble kalimah once is enough to wipe out a lifetime�s sins! This much we do know about his limits:
Muhammad Mustafa, O Kaif, is praised by Allah
Forget about Man: no one can truly praise him!
Muhammad is the Divine Secret, his secrets who knows?
In shar�iah he is a man, in reality [haqiqah] God knows!
- In , �Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah�, there is laudation [na�at] of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam; those who do not like the Prophet�s laudation [na�at], should also refrain from saying, "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
- The earth does not eat the bodies of the Prophets, neither does it touch them. The Prophets pray [perform namaz] in their graves. Use analogy [qiyas] then, and think what the state of The Prophet will be like (in his grave).
- The Messenger of Allah, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said that whoever sends salutations upon me I will answer his salutations.
- His Excellency (Muhammad), sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said that whoever sends blessings [durud-i-sharif] upon me with love, I hear it with my own ears.
- The Holy Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam ,after veiling himself from this world, is, without doubt, alive and still upon his Prophethood (in his blessed grave) and is pleased by the worship and good deeds of his Community [ummah] and saddened by the sins and disobedience.
- A loose, unbridled, camel never reaches it�s destination and wherever it goes it is beaten and hit. A camel in a line (of camels) however, no matter how thin and weak it is, definitely will reach it�s destination.
- The body has been given to use, and not to nourish and make fat:
You must awake, so awaken now, whilst beneath the heavens� shadow
You shall have until Judgement Day to sleep --beneath the earth�s shadow!
- By putting one�s head on the dust (in prostration), a man becomes purified:
What right do we have to put our feet on the ground
When, in prostration, we�ve never put our head on the ground?
- Do not stay in the company of people with incorrect beliefs [aqidah], in fact do not even sit where they have sat.
- Wherever the water touches during wudu�[ritual washing], that place will not burn in the hellfire.
- If after mendicancy [faqr], the faqir becomes a dog of the world [dunya] again;
The fool after being purified, has become embroiled in filth again!
- In the verse of Surah Fatiha, �Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have favoured�, there is proof of taqlid and its necessity.
- "Fatta bi �u millata Ibrahima hanifa�n". There have been 124, 000 prophets but this command, "Therefore follow the religion of Ibrahim who was separate from every falsehood" proves that it is obligatory [fard] to do taqlìd of an Imam.
- Everybody�s grave will be dark but the grave of those who pray the tahajjud prayer will be full of light. The reading of the Ayat ul Kursi (Verse of the Throne) after each prayer (namaz), and the Sura (beginning with)Tabarakulladhi each night will definitely result in there being no punishment in the grave.
- Just as it is obligatory [fard] to send blessings [durud] upon the Holy Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) during the prayer [salat], likewise it is also obligatory to send blessings [durud] upon his Family [
