حضرت مولانا ابرار الحق صاحب ھردوئی رحمہ اللہ علیہ نے ارشاد فرمایا کہ

بعض وقت روشنی ھے علم ھے یقین ھے مگر عمل کی قوت نھیں ھوتی

مثلاً کمرے میں روشنی ھے اور الماری میں سیب نظر آرھا ھے اور اس کے وجود اور نافع ھونے پر یقین بھی ھے۔

ڈاکٹروں نے اس کو کھانے کے لئے حکم بھی دیا ھوا ھے اور دل بھی چاھتا ھے

مگرسیب تک اٹھ کرجانے کی قوت نھیں ھوتی،

پھر ڈاکٹر طاقت کا انجکشن لگاتا ھے اور وٹامن کے کیپسول کھلاتا ھے جب طاقت آجاتی ھے تو خود اٹھ کر الماری تک جاکر سیب کھاتاھے

یھی حال ان اھل علم کا ھے کہ علم کی روشنی بھی ھے یقین بھی ھے مگر عمل کی قوت نھیں ھے۔

اللہ والوں کی صحبت میں آنے جانے سے کچھ ھی دن میں قوت آنی شروع ھوجاتی ھے اور اعمال میں ترقی شروع ھو جاتی ھے

Reading Quran correctly

Shaykh Shah Abrar ul-Haq (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘Hadhrat Thanawi (Allah have mercy on him) has written that there are four rights of the Holy Quran,

1. Respect,  2. Love, 3. Reading it with correct pronunciation, and 4. Following its rulings

In (khanqah of) Thana Bhawan some very senior scholars of Prophetic traditions (muhadith) had to read ‘Noorani Qai’da’,  the primer for Quranic recitation.

We are concerned about the exterior painting and maintenance of our homes, so they may appear attractive.

Why aren’t we concerned about the attractiveness of our recitation of the blessed Quran?

Remember that finer realities and subtleties  of Tasawwuf are of no use if attention is not paid to the essential teachings of the religion.

Hayat e Abrar ra, page 261

Best wird

Shaykh Shah Wasiullah (Allah have mercy on him) instructed the spiritual aspirants,

‘The most benefical and sanctified daily spiritual practice (wird) is the recitation of the Holy Quran.

However, this is based on the condition that this recitation is not mere verbal pronunciation of the holy text. There must be participation of the qalb (heart/mind)

This involvement of the qalb does not imply understanding the meanings of what is being read.  It means that the one who is reciting is attentive and aware that,

- he is reading the speech (kalam) of Allah,
- that this text has been send by Allah for our salvation and
- Allah is attentive and listening to it when it is being recited.’

حقوق والدین

عارف باللہ حضرت ڈاکٹر عبدالحئی عارفی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے فرمایا،

‘ہم پر اللہ تعالی نے اپنے حقوق کے بعد والدین کے حقوق واجب فرماۓ ہیں۔

انہوں نے پالا ، پرورش کی، دعائیں کیں، راحت پہنچائی اور جب تک تم بالغ نہیں ہوۓ تمہارے کفیل رہے۔

اور جب تم بالغ ہوۓ تو تم نے ان کی کیا خدمت کی ہوگی؟

 دیکھو جتنا سرمایا ہے اپنے زندگی بھر کے اعمال حسنہ کا اور طاعات نافلہ کا سب نذر کر دو اپنے والدین کو،

 ان کو بہت بڑا حق ہے، کیونکہ والدین کو اللہ تعالی نے مظہر ربوبیت بنایا ہے۔

 اس عمل خیر کا ثواب تمہیں بھی اتنا ملے گا جتنا دے رہے ہو،

بلکہ اس سے بھی زیادہ کیونکہ یہ تمہارا ایثار ہے اور اس کا بہت بڑا ثواب ہے۔

میں تو اپنی ساری عمر کی تمام عبادات و طاعات نافلہ اور اعمال خیر اپنے والدین کی روح پر بخش دیتا ہوں اور سمجھتا ہوں کہ اب بھی حق ادا نہیں ہوا۔ اللہ تعالی اپنی رحمت واسعہ سے قبول فرمالیں۔ 

 (رمضان المبارک کے انوار و برکات، ص 14)

Complete deen!

‘Arif-billahDr. Abdul Hayy ‘Arifi (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘These days major (kabair) and outrageous sins have become prevalent in our society. We consider them to be a form of entertainment. These major sins will never be forgiven until we leave them and repent. Television is being watched in each and every home. Listening music, songs, watching explicit programmes and movies are common day activities.’ 1

‘Brothers! The matter of here-after (akhira) is of extreme magnitude.

It is inappropriate to be at ease by being  ignorant of its details.

There will be enquiry about each and every thing, including your financial dealings, social etiquette and moral character.

Remember that until all of these components of deen are correct your salah, fasting, pilgrimage and zakah(all worhip, etc) will be devoid of soul and true meanings.’2

Ramadan is for actions!

Arif-billahDr Abdul Hayy ‘Arifi (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘There are eleven months to acquire knowledge. However, the blessed month of Ramadan is for actions alone.’

What is Mujahida?

Maseehul-quloob, Hadhrat Mawlana Maseehullah Khan sahib (Allah have mercy on him) said:

“Forcing one’s self (to do good deeds and abstain from sins, both esoteric and exoteric) is the mujahida (spiritual struggle).”

Islah-afraoze bayanat, page 560

Beware!

Hakim al-Umma Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘There are two (major) reasons for a bad ending of life (su-e-khatimah),

First is the love of the worldly (hubb-e-dunya).

Second is to consider probable and possible things (zaniyyat) to be a definite (qatai’) article of belief.

(Explaining the second issue he added) And at the time of death the reality will be revealed. This will show that the probable and possible things he cosidered to be definite were wrong. Then the Satan will make him doubtful of his other beliefs, like tawheed and prophethood, etc. This will make him skeptical (of the basic beliefs of Islam).’

Complete following of Sunna!

Allama Sayyid Suleman Nadwi (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘The following of Sunna (itaba’ e Sunnat) is not limited to changing the external appearance and attire only.

The complete (kamil) following of Sunna entails that the thoughts, aspirations, emotional feelings and desires all become subservient to the Prophet’s (Allah bless him and grant him peace) taste (zauq).

Signs of Success

Maseehul-quloob, Hadhrat Mawlana Maseehullah Khan sahib (Allah have mercy on him) said in regards to the spiritual progress:

“Being punctual in daily ma’moolat (wird) is a sign of proceeding in the right direction (towards the goal).”

Not Recognizing the Blame-worthy Morals Within

A mureed wrote:
I can not recognize within myself any of the blame worthy moral traits. What should I do?

Sayyidi wa sanadi Mawlana Mohammad Taqi Usmani (Allah preserve him and allow us to benefit from him abundantly. Ameen!) replied;

“Read the section regarding the blame worthy morals in:

1. Tabligh deen (Urdu translation of “al-Arba’een” by Imam Ghazali), and

2. Basair-e-Hakeemul Ummat ra (A textbook of Tasawwuf by Dr. Abdul Hayy Arifi)

Reflect on each of these traits and search for their presence in your daily affairs.

Even after this if you do not see any of them, be thankful to Allah.
And if you feel or doubt their presence within your self then ask me.”

Mathnawi & Tasawwuf

Allamah Sayyid Suleman Nadwi (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘Even the Mathnawi of Mawlana Rumi (Allah have mercy on him) is not (a detailed systematic exposition of) Tasawwuf. It is a philosophical discussion of issues of Tasawwuf. It is meant for the treatment of those with distorted thinking. It is not intended for every one. ’
