“It is a ploy of Shaytaan that a religious person weighs his present life with his past life. If he does so, he will think himself to be a saint.”

Advising an ‘aalim who had recently graduated, Shaykh said:
“It is good and acceptable for an ‘aalim to think that he is not doing enough to serve the Deen, and that he should do more and explore other avenues. However, he should not think that the current work of Deen he is doing is worthless.

“Allah ta’ala does not judge a person’s status by the amount of worship he does, but by how much a person stays away from the disobedience of Allah.
It is a deceit from Shaytaan that he confines our attention to the multitude of worship we do and keeps us heedless and unaware of the sins that we are committing.”

“When we go shopping, we spend without any reluctance. The thought of our wealth decreasing or of becoming poor does not enter our minds then.
However, if the opportunity to spend even five pounds in the masjid comes, many such thoughts come to mind and we are very reluctant to spend in the path of Allah.”

” Placing the virtue of knowledge and the ‘ulama to one side for a moment, a true ‘aalim is one who does not regard himself to be an ‘aalim. The more a person’s knowledge increases, the more he will become aware of his own ignorance. As his knowledge increases, he will accordingly become lower and lower in his own eyes.”

“Mawlana Shabbir Ahmad Uthmani rahmatullahi alayh used to say that if what a person says is ‘haq’ (truth), his intentions are ‘haq’ (sincere) and the method he uses is also ‘haq’, it will definitely have an effect on the listener.
As a poet says:
Words that come from the heart, effect the heart.
True Loss, True Gain Saturday, May 16, 2009

“When we see our friends incurring spiritual loss due to omitting fara’idh or sunan, why do we not stop them or advise them? If we were to see them suffering worldly loss or if we were to see them falling into harm’s way, would immediately stop them.
We would immediately warn someone who was walking in the dark of the night and heading towards a ditch. If even a pound coin were to fall out of someone’s pocket we would stop and inform him.
However, when it comes to Deeni issues we do not do the same. One of the main reasons is that we do not see Deeni loss as a real loss. It is not that we don’t have feelings for our fellow brothers, our problem is we don’t understand what loss and gain truly are.”
