Filling Station for Allah SWT’s Love

Sayyidi wa sanadi Hazrat Moulana Taqi Usmani saheb (Allah SWT preserve him and allow us to benefit from him abundantly. Ameen!) while delivering a talk on Allah SWT’s love told us the following incident;

“Once Hazrat Hakeemul Ummat ra was talking about this same very topic, that is love of Allah SWT. Such motivating, aspiring and enchanting was the speech that the mureeds in presence felt extreme desire to achieve this blessing.

Hazrat Azizul Hasan Majzoob ra, the most prominent khalifa of Hakeemul Ummat ra could not resist and asked, “Sir, please, for God’s sake pour this love of Allah SWT and fill our hearts.”

Hazrat Hakeemul Ummat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi quddus sirahu immediately replied, “what else have I been doing? It is this love of Allah SWT that that I have been distributing throughout this talk.”

Challenging the aspirant

A young gentleman approached Sayyidi wa sanadi Hazrat Moulana Mohammad Taqi Usmani sahib (may Allah SWT preserve him and allow us to benefit from him abundantly.Ameen!) and requested to be accepted as a mureed to establish the islahi ta’aluq (relationship for self reformation).

Hazrat db replied, “I am the most destitute in these matters. There are many other proficient people in the Darul Uloom (Karachi) to be taken as a Sheikh. Please, approach them.”

The aspirant was not disappointed by this tawadhu’ (humility) and politely insisted on his requested.

Hazrat db eventually told him to attend the weekly majlis (gathering) for the spiritual aspirants regularly.

It is quite common and appropriate to test the genuineness of the aspirant’s desire by our Shuyukh.

This is to ascertain their sincerity and commitment for taking the tareeq (path).
