Beneficial Advices (Part 2)

The Mercy of Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله

The Bounty of Deen

Hakeemul Ummah Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thaanwi Sahib رحمه الله has said that a person who lacks commitment to Deen will also display a lack of understanding in worldly affairs. On the contrary, one who is associated with Deen may not have much experience in worldly affairs but he will (through the attachment to Deen) be blessed with considerable wisdom.

Disregard the Sentiments of Others…

Revenge?

Hakeemul Ummah Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thaanwi Sahib رحمه الله has advised that it is an appropriate revenge to inform someone that he has hurt you. By doing this, the issues within the hearts are cleared. One should not do anything more than this.

Reflections

Shafeequl Ummah Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Farooq Sahib رحمه الله has stated that many of us are greatly inconvenienced by the malicious actions of others. To reciprocate with malice causes further hurt. Just tell the one who has caused you grief that you have been grieved by his behavior. And carry on with life; the excess baggage of sustaining the hurt will affect one both physically and emotionally.

Be Regular in Duas…

Hakeemul Ummah Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thaanwi Sahib رحمه الله has said that the condition imposed by Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله with regards to Dua is that we don’t be hasty. Even if our Duas are not answered immediately, our duty is to implore Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله with absolute humility. There is great wisdom for the delay in answering of Duas.  But to lose hope in our supplications causes Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله to become angry because many have the incorrect notion that He  جل جلاله is not paying attention to us.

The simple prescription is that we adopt humility and keep ourselves involved in duas.
