May Allah bless us all with complete Belief! Today, accept a little request. It will benefit you greatly if Allah wills. These days, the Muslims all over the world are attacked by hypocrisy. So, seek refuge from it for at least seven times in the morning and the evening from the core of the heart.

FOUR POINTS(Rang o Noor by sa'di)

May Allah bless us all with complete Belief! Today, accept a little request. It will benefit you greatly if Allah wills. These days, the Muslims all over the world are attacked by hypocrisy. So, seek refuge from it for at least seven times in the morning and the evening from the core of the heart. This seeking refuge should be in such a way as if you were demanding your utmost necessity.

﴿۱﴾ اللھم انی اعوذبک من النفاق

﴿۲﴾ اللھم انی اعوذبک من الشقاق و النفاق و سُوئِ الاخلاق

Include these two supplications in your supplications. Try to supplicate in a state of ablution and after the prayer. Also recite Durood Sharif in the beginning and at the end. Feel the resplendence of the supplication in the heart. Hypocrisy is a very great punishment. Hypocrisy is of two kinds: Hypocrisy in creed and hypocrisy in deeds. Telling lies is the basic sign of hypocrisy. These days hypocrisy is attacking from all directions. We must try to defend our Belief very wisely and sagaciously.

Supplication For The Month of Rajab

We remind you the supplications of Rajab every year. It is good that there may occur no break this year also. The fire of dearness and unblessings ignited by the government budget can be put out through the blessings sent down by Allah. Blessing is a very great bounty. Let us demand the blessings of Rajab and Sha'baan through the sacred words of our Holy Prophet . اَللّٰھُمَّ بَارِکْ لَنَا فِی رَجَبَ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ   

"O Allah bless us with Rajab and Sha'baan and lead us to Ramazaan."

In the same way, there is Sunnah supplication for drinking milk اَللّٰھُمَّ بَارِکْ لَنَا فِیْہِ وَزِدْنَامِنْہُ 

"O Allah, give us blessing in it and increase in it for us."

If you go to a new city or hamlet, also supplicate for blessings there. اَللّٰھُمَّ بَارِکْ لَنَا فِیْھَاوَارْزُقْنَا جَنَاھَا
"O Allah, give us blessings in this hamlet and feed us the fruits here."

Today, it is sufficient on this topic. I shall write in detail in future if I get a chance.

Munaajaat Saabiry

So many of our brothers and sisters are waiting for "Munaajaat Saabiry" anxiously but hard luck is that the task of the book is lingering on. There will be good in this delay because as the task is delaying, this book is being embellished and preened. Now, there have been very fine changes in it. The Sunnah methods of begging forgiveness accumulated in it may perhaps not be found in any other book in so great number. Recitation, Zikr and other practices have been studied minutely and changes have been made. I myself have looked the book time and again. Reading and correcting it each time gives a wonderful enjoyment and resplendence. I want to convey this gift of dear father to the people as early as possible but then a change is observed and the task delays. You are requested to pray specially.

Waste of Livelihood

At one time, I was in jail. I felt this point bitterly that a special state of mind is departing from the hearts of the Muslims. You would have observed how great livelihood goes waste in our houses, schools and offices.

Wasting living is a fashion with the mundane people whereas the religious people have also fallen prey to negligence in this regard. The jail companions also wasted livelihood. Sometimes, there was great straightness. At that time, not a morsel of bread was left spare. We used to get two pieces of stale bread in breakfast in Baadaami Baagh and all the companions would eat them merrily like pizza and burger but when there was amplitude, livelihood began to be wasted. The attention of all was drawn to it and a system of watch over was established. At that time, some companions acted upon it from the core of their hearts but the others did so only when they were watched.

The cause of this difference was the state mentioned above. State is the perception of the heart i.e. the perception of the heart about a thing is called "State." We consider beef good. It is a state. Owing to this state, we like beef. Our heart hates the cat meat. It is also a state. If someone delivers a lecture for two hours enumerating benefits of cat meat and persuading us to eat two kibabs of its meat, will you be able to eat? No, not at all because state is a very strong thing and man is constrained due to his "States."

Now, take the matter of wasting livelihood. This thing is inculcated in a man's heart, "Allah is my Sustainer and Lord and He gives me livelihood with love and feeds me. He protects my livelihood and He conveys it to me vey carefully. He is a very Great Lord and I am His humble slave." If this state is in the heart, be sure, not to speak of a morsel of bread, man will not waste a grain of rice. Allah conveys a morsel to a man after the labour of 360 individuals. He appoints so many creatures of the earth and the sky to make that morsel. If you go to the president of the country; if he gives you something, will you love it or throw it away in the dustbin in his presence, will he be pleased with your practice? Allah is the king of kings. He provides livelihood to His slaves with deep love. He notices what His slave has done of it. Have you not observed that the cause of creation of the universe Hazrat Muhammad  used to lick his fingers after the meals because he knew that living from Allah is on his fingers and that may not go waste. It is really the matter of state. Some people waste livelihood despite many times counsels. Some people do not waste even a grain, a drop or a morsel eating in loneliness even. They either eat that themselves or procure it carefully and deliver it to others. Now, this matter will not be inculcated in the heart even after due advice and suggestion because we have made many experiments. Do pray that all of us should be blessed with state of love for our Sustainer and Lord.

Labour For Kalima Tayyibah

However greatly do we thank Allah, it is insufficient because wonderful benefits are being reaped due to labour for Kalima Tayyibah. So many Muslims who have made it their routine to recite  for twelve hundred times are finding very positive changes in them. This is the practice for fifteen minutes but so many benefits that cannot be enumerated. Some ladies and gentlemen have written strange states in their letters. May Allah grant them with even more progress and acceptance! Last day, I was reading the "Ma'alim-ut-Janzeel." There was a saying from Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas in it, "The Kalima that the Bani Israil were ordered to recite while entering Syria was the Kalima . They were to recite وقولوا حطّۃ  which may write off their sins. This is the Kalima that writes off sins completely. Think a little please, "Can there be a greater Pagan in the world than Advaani?" He is a very staunch polytheist, Pagan, idolater, enemy of Islam and a very malicious and mean person. The Jews and the Christians do obey a few things of the old books but the Hindu polytheists are deprived of it also. Still, if Advaani recites from the core of his heart, all his sins will be written off.

Do estimate from it how great efficacy do  have. Join it with the heart, create certainty in the heart and then recite from the heart and the tongue collectively. These days, there are the subversions of Infidelity and hypocrisy all around. All the Muslims should make it their routine to recite  for 100 times at least daily. Different states befall man. Sometimes you will enjoy reciting it and sometimes not. Sometimes, you will feel interest and sometimes not. But you should do it considering it your duty. When Allah grants you with the power and capacity, make addition to it. Now, the months of Sha'baan and Ramazaan are approaching. Only Kalima Tayyibah  is the cause of success of the Muslims. Explain this Kalima well so that it may percolate in the hearts of the Muslims and they may come to know about the esteem and position of the Kalima. When Hazrat Umar recognized the esteem and greatness of this Kalima, he pronounced before the entire world, "We were a disgraced people; Allah blessed us through Islam. Now, if we search honour in anything other than Islam, He will disgrace us again." Subhaan Allah! This is belief in the Kalima. "We were disgraced without Kalima." Whereas they were Arabs, Quraishi and noble families but language nation and clan have no respect without Kalima. Honour lies in the Kalima. These days, the Muslims are again persuaded to the ill-smelling slogans of nationalism, racialism and regionalism. These days, language, region and clans are called honourable again. O Muslims, it is illiteracy and ignorance and valuelessness of the Great Kalima. We Muslims have only one honour of link with Islam i.e. link with the Kalima Tayyibah.
