Remember, any sin, no matter how insignificant it may be assumed to be, is enough to lead a person to Jahannam.

“When faced with a situation in which you think saying the truth will disgrace you, and hence you lie, you should remember that being disgraced due to the truth is far better than being disgraced due to lying (as a lie is never hidden, it always get exposed).”

Adhere to the Prescription Monday, February 23, 2009

“When attending a zikr majlis you should only carry out the zikr given to you by your Shaykh. Doing any other zikr will not benefit you, rather you will go in the wrong direction.
For example, a person who has finished his zikr hears someone else doing the zikr of the Word ‘Allah’. Sometimes another person’s zikr has an effect on your heart and you also feel like doing it.
If he starts copying the other person’s zikr, and hence exceeds the amount of zikr given to him by his Shaykh, then he will not be progressing but will be deviating from the path by not adhering to the prescription of his Shaykh.”

Alhmadulilah, we recently received some very positive feedback from a reader based in Switzerland. May Allah ta’ala accept the reader’s good thoughts and help In Shaykh’s Company continue to share our respected Shaykh’s teachings with a wider audience.
‘May Allah ta’ala bless you all for the essential guidance you have made available through this platform. Our times are confusing : it is not an easy task for young men / women in these days to find the right spiritual guidance.
This is why I feel I am benefiting greatly from your platform at Shaykh.org and from the teachings of the Shaykh. It has provided me with clear explanations and simple guidelines on what to change in my everyday life.
Mash’Allah, I have found the Shaykh’s lectures and advice very beneficial, easy to understand and very relevant to present day problems and dilemmas facing the youth.
The advice given by the Shaykh and on this platform deals with concrete problems in a very step-by-step, practical manner. The manner in which the advice is explained makes it easy for the one in need of guidance to understand how to implement it in his / her own life in practical terms, which is the essential role of advice.
Thank you for providing us with clarity, guidance and truth in these difficult times.’

“We need to aspire to the state wherein we think of ourselves as lowly while our behaviour is such that we are revered and thought of highly by the people. This mindset has been taught to us by the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam in a du’aa:
O Allah, make me small in my own eyes and great in the eyes of others.

Whilst visiting someone for ta’ziyat recently, Shaykh mentioned:
“If we were involved in a court case and someone told us that if durood shareef is read 100,000 times we would be guaranteed to win the case, what would we do?
We would immediately start organising and distributing the recital of durood shareef between our friends and relatives in order to complete the required quantity.
The deceased is about to be summoned to the Court of Allah, but how much concern do we have for his success?”
