Shaykh
Some people are lazy in taking a Shaikh.
Whereas, some do not get a new Shaikh after the demise of the first one.
These are our shortcomings.
We should strife to make sure that not a single day or night passes by on us without we being under the guidance of a Shaikh (graduate spiritual mentor).

A beneficial talk!
Sincerity: Abandon ostentation & shirk
Abandoning a good action in middle thinking that people will consider me to be pious is riya (ostentation).
Whereas, doing an action to impress others is shirk (associating partners with Allah).
Hence, sincerity is to be saved from both of these by Allah.

Paying financial dues: A priority!
Sayyidi wa sanadi Mawlana Mohammad Taqi Usmani (Allah preserve him) instructs those approaching him for reformation (islah),
‘If there are pending financial obligations prompt arrangement must be made to pay these dues.
If the payment is not possible immediately then one should inform the owner and request for a grace period.
Then one should really strive meticulously to repay. This must be considered the topmost priority.’
