A mureed narrated his dream:
“I saw as though I have died and people have burried me”.
Sayyidi wa sanadi Hazrat Mawlana Mohammad Taqi Usmani shaib db replied:
“It seems to be an elucidation of the phrase:
موتو قبل ان تموتو
(Die before the death).”
Islahi khutoot
That is, it is an instruction to work towards this annihilation of all that may result in destruction in hereafter.
An aspirant complained;
“These days I feel very dull and lazy. Nothing seems to be interesting. Moreover, thoughts of immorality and sins plague my mind.”
Sayyidi wa sanadi Hazrat Mawlana Mohammad Taqi Usmani sahib db replied;
“Make this dua a lot:
اللھم اجعل وساوس قلبی خشیتک و ذکرک
(O Allah SWT, turn the stray thoughts of my heart into your fear and remembrance. Munajat-e-Maqbool/Al-Hizb al-A’zam)
Islahi khutoot
Maseeh-ul-quloob Hazrat Mawlana Maseehullah Khan sahib ra said:
“Excessive repetition of an advice leads to loss of its importance for the audience. The spirituality in it dies. Moreover, any effectiveness in it fades out. (Making it useless).”
Islah afroze bayanat, page 187
Hazrat Shah Wasihullah sahib ra read the following;
انما حرمو الوصول لتضييعهم الاصول (رساله قشيريه)
Abandoning the principles makes it is impossible to reach the goal
And tell us
“Tasawwuf is an extremely systematic and structured discipline. It is not what the people consider it to be these days.
یہ وہ جامہ ہے نہیں جس کا سیدہا الٹا
That is, like a garment that does not have an exterior or an interior surface (meaning that it is totally chaotic).
The traveller on the path of Allah SWT has to be very organized and sharp-witted.”
