Respected Audience!

‘Arif-billah Hadhrat Dr. Abdul Hayy ‘Arifi (may Allah have mercy on him) used to ask this question repeatedly from those who use to attend his weekly talks on spiritual improvement (islah),

“All praise is for Allah. I appreciate your effort in taking out time from your busy schedule and attend this gathering. However, I put forward this question to you,
‘What change has happened in yourself since you started attending these gathering?’

Contemplate.

These gatherings are meant to bring about a change in ourselves. They are not formal speeches or academic lectures.”

P.S. Same question may be put to the readers of this blog!

    Brother, you know as much as i do, that after four years of listening to Hadhrat’s Bayans and reading this blog, I am Alhamdulillah in correspondence with him. Least to say, the benefits one gets after ‘tawbah‘ are huge, and surely this blog has encouraged me greatly towards it.

    Jazakallaho Khair kaseeran and may Allah SWT give more barakah in your efforts,”

    Amin!
    All praise is for Allah.
    JazakAllah.
