La Taqnatu

My Beloved Hazratwala Rahmatullah Alaihy says that some people show tawazo (humility) in saying that "Oh Im so sinful how Allah Ta'ala would forgive me". Actually this person is not a humble one but full of pride. Hazrat Maulaha Ashraf Ali Thanwi Rahmatullah Alaihy says such beliefs are batil/false because that person thinks his sins to be greater than the mercy of Allah Ta'ala. Hazratwala Rahmatullah Alaihy says such sentences are of very deceptive nature.

Make Your Deeds Accepted

Whenever one is given the taufeeq to do righteous deeds one should make this duaa for its acceptance by reciting following Duaa.....

Rabbana Taqabbal minna 'Innaka 'Antas Sami' 'ul 'Aleem

"Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For You are the All-Hearing, the All-knowing." (2:127).

Listened in Bayan by Hazratwala Rahmatulllah Alaihy

Wordly Beauty...........Temporary Pleasure

The proof is in the pudding. Mere talk and bayans are not a sign of true love, rather abstaining from sins is the true sign of love. 

خاک ہو جایئں گے قبروں میں حسینوں کے بدن
ان کے ڈسٹمپر کی خاطر راہ پیغمبر نہ چھوڑ

The bodies of the damsels shall rot in the graves
Do not shun the sunnah yearning for their makeup

-Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb Rahimahullah

Ways to Allah

Hazat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar sahab (Damat Barakatuhm) says...a pious saint used to pray to Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala to make him such that he doesn't commit any sin at all... after some time, he got a reply from Allah Subhana w a ta'ala "why do you want to have only one door to reach Me when I am giving you two!!"...the one door was the door of not committing sin...the other door was that of repenting after committing a sin, with a resolution never to repeat..

Rights of Allah

To do good acts is the right of Allah Ta'ala's Muhabbat(Love),to 


abstain from sins is the right of Allah Ta'ala's Azmat( Majesty)

True Love

 Following words of poetry are taken from the Book Aashiq e Sadiq by my Beloved Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Sahab (Damat Baraktuhum)

If there is any true love, then it is

The eternal love of the Ever-Living Lord,

The love of a perishing beauty is always a temporary one.

O Akhtar ! Do not be deceived by any charms

Of the Universe,

Rather remain in love with (Allah),

The Creator of the Universe

In this temporary world.

Attaining Love of Allah Ta'ala

Currently the book of my Beloved Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahab(Damat Barakatuhum) im reading is" Reformation of Character".Last day i ended with reading" The method of Attaining Allah Ta'ala's Love".Im quoting here a short description for the ease of the reader,for the rest of the wisdom you can visit the link.

 First

Avery easy method of attaining Allah Ta'ala's love-when a person daily presents himself in the company of another for a short while,then after a few days,love is inculcated.The reuslt of meeting daily for some period is that if perhance they do not meet each other,then one will become restless for other.and will wait for each other.there is no need for any proofs for htis reality.In like manner,begin meeting Allah Ta;ala daily for a short while.The manner of this is that one should take a Tasbih,and facing Qiblah in solitude,he should make the zikr of Allah Ta'ala for a short while.Kalimah Tauheed.Durood Sharif.recitation of Qur'an.Uttering 'Allah,Allah", are all in cluded in Zikr.This Zikr is the meeting with Allah Ta'ala.

It is narrated in Hadith Qudsi

"I am the companion of him who remembers me."In other words Allah Ta'ala is saying"I am by him."

What an easy form for a servant to meet Allah Ta'ala when he pleases.Begin zikr an done has met Him.

second

The second method of attaining Allah Ta'ala’s love is by contemplating over His bounties.He has created the heaven,the earth.the mountains,the tress,the animals and the birds. He has created the whole universe for our benefit and nurturing and we have been created solely for His worship. Think of every bounty and be grateful. Logically, natural love is created for one’s benefactor. 

Third 

The third method which is the soul of the other two ways and which is extremely beneficial is that one should at times go in the company of Allah Ta'ala’s lovers and should that the hearts of My close friends are the mines of taqwa. Just 

listen to their talks with love and conviction. A Hadith states 

as one attains gold from a gold mine, silver from a silver mine, 

salt from a salt mine, the treasures of taqwa and the love of 

Allah Ta'ala will be attained from the companionship of His 

close friends. Like if a donkey falls and dies in a salt  mine it  toowill become salt.

 Maulana Rumi 

(Rahmatullah Alaihe) has stated, “If you are a stone, then do 

not lose hope. By going to those whose hearts are connected to 

Allah Ta'ala, you will become a pearl. 

These three methods of attaining Allah Ta'ala’s love are the statement of Hazrat 

Hakeem-ul-Ummah Thanwi (Rahmatullah Alaihe) which this 

weak one has written with some explanation. May Allah Ta'ala 

grant this weak one and all our honourable readers the treasure 

of His love. Ameen

What is Taqwa?

Arif Billah Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahab(Damat Barakatuhum) explain about Taqwa in His book 'Life of Piety' that:
Allah did not mention taqwa first. He first mentioned the fact that He created the ability to sin within man. Now it is your duty not to fulfill the urge to sin. This will create taqwa (piety) in you. If you want to obtain piety, then all you have to do is abstain from sin. Achieve Reward without Doing any Work.The owners of factories first make their employees work and then reward them. But in this case, Allah is granting reward for not doing any work. Do not steal, speak lies and do not look at women. By not doing these things, you will be rewarded with piety and Allah’s friendship. What is taqwa? Taqwa is when you have the urge to sin but you abstain due to the fear of Allah. Then you must endure the pain and not regret adopting piety. Do not say, "I wish I should have looked at least once."Remember that it is shaytan’s ploy to make you regret. One who regrets has an undeveloped heart and his Iman is weak. Iman will be complete when he abstains from sin, endures grief, thanks Allah and becomes ecstatic with joy.

Anguish of Love

One day my ship will also cast (its) anchor

One day we will passionately see Makkah and Madinah.

Although the mine of love is in every heart,

However it cannot be discovered without blood and sweat.

Good God! These blossoming springs of ebullition of love,

My bosom feels like a river of fire.

O tears of repentance! May I be sacrificed over Your favours,

This treasure of mercy has rained upon a sinner.

The condition (of success) is (some) kind attention of the men of love,

Otherwise this gem of love cannot be had.

Akhtar! I do agree, that there are calamities in the path of love,

But through His grace, Sakinah and Tranquility descends as well.

Taken from Ma- arif e Mathnavi

The Heart is Allah's House

Arif Billah Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar sahab(Damat Barakathum) in his book'Connection With Allah Ta'la' says:
Maulana Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihy)
had mentioned that a person will never achieve a close link with Allah until his heart is totally detachedfrom this perishable and material world. There is only ONE heart: You either give itto Allah Ta’ala or you give it to the temporary world.Once in a gathering, in which Hazratwala (Damat Barakathum) was also present, 
Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi Saheb (Rahmatullah Alaihy)
said: "It is permissible to keep 
Dunya 
(material world) in one's hand,and even in one's pocket, but not in one's heart. The heart is Allah's house." 
Hazrat Khawajah Saheb (Rahmatullah Alaihy)
used to say

O Majzub! Remove the thoughts of beauties from your heart,The House of Allah is not the place for keeping idols (temporary beauties).

If the love-of worldly things enter the heart, then this heart of dust has been ruined and wasted on dust (since all material things originate from dust and end up asdust). If on the other hand, the love of Allah enters this heart of dust, then it will become valuable.

The Bounty of becoming a Friend of Allah

 In one of his bayan Hazrat Mawlana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahib (Damat Barakatuhum) commenced his discourse by relating a recent incident of a scholar who came from Rangoon which is located in Burma. Hazrat wala (DB) said: “He came from Burma, Rangoon, from a lengthy distance. This is the real thirst. All of you people live in Karachi and deem it difficult to come here. Where is Rangoon and where is Karachi? Rangoon is in
Burma.” In other words, look at the distance between Rangoon and Karachi.
“Is attaining the friendship of Allah an ordinary gift? If one has a connection with an ordinary police inspector or a or a senior government official, then people proudly boast about the connection they share with such and such person. Then what would one say about a person who has a connection with Allah Ta’ala? Who is greater than Allah? No one is greater than Allah, He is the Greatest. In turn, a connection with
Allah Ta’ala is the greatest gift, but to attain a connection with Allah Ta’ala one must have Taqwa.”
Allah Ta’ala has said, “None is My friend except those who are muttaqi (God Fearing),” those who are fearful of Allah Ta’ala and protect themselves from all sins. This is why it is very important to leave sin.Leaving sin is the base of attaining the friendship of Allah. If one does not leave sin, then one will be stuck in a state of sinning until one dies, and will face Allah Ta’ala in that state, as a sinner.
Therefore my friends fear Allah. While fearing Allah do not displease Allah regardless of how much struggle one may have to endure. Do not displease Allah Ta’ala even for a single moment whether the nature of the sin is minor or major. Allah Ta’ala is the Greatest, a minor sin is also considered a grave sin to the One that is the Greatest.

Arif Billa Hazrat Maulana Shah HakeemMuhammad Akhtar Sahab (db)

 This section is dedicated to my beloved Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahab (db).

Shaykh Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Daamat Barakaatuhum) is one of the greatest gifted scholars of Islam today. His reputation and standing to the Muslims of Asian subcontinent needs no introduction. However, for the benefit of others, Shaykh has been favored by Allah (swt) to have been nurtured by three of the greatest and most renowned Wali's (saints) of his time.

Shaykh's inclination towards the Creator, the Almighty Allah (swt) began before he even reached puberty. He dedicated his life from before teens in the service of those pious servants of Allah (swt) whom the world today refers as Ahlullah (saints). From the tender age of 12, he began attending discourses of renowned scholars of the time. At the age of 15, he took bay'at (pledge) to the great Wali (saint) of his time, Shaykh Shah Muhammad Ahmed (ra) and spent three years continuously in his lofty company. Thereafter Shaykh was guided to the company of the famous Wali (saint) Shaykh Shah Abdul Ghani Phoolpuri (ra), with whom he spent 17 years. The Shaykh's service and dedication to his Shaykh is unsurpassable in recent times. During the seventeen years with Shaykh Phoolpuri (ra) the nights were spent in a retreat (jungle) from where no other human sound was audible except for the Shaykh's (Phoolpuri)zikr (remembrance of Allah). It was under the tutelage of Shaykh Phoolpuri for seventeen years that Hazrat mastered the scholarly work of Mathnawi by Shaykh Rumi. Shaykh Phoolpuri (ra) himself was guided by the greatest scholar of recent history, Hakeem ul Ummat Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanwi (ra), who in turn was taught the Mathnawi by Shaykh Haji Imdadullah (ra).

In his discourses and writings he explores profound topics relevant to the ummah(community) at present time. .His understanding and explanation of man's spiritual relationship with Allah (swt), the prevalent spiritual and physical maladies and its rectification are topics taken up by other Ulemas (scholars of Islam) throughout the world

May Allah Ta'ala Blessed Hazratwala with sehat and highest rank of both worlds Ameen !!
This section includes  couplets  and teachings of Hazratwala that Allah Ta'ala blessed me with Alhumdulillah. May Allah Ta'la make the Ahhh !! of Hazratwala a mean to attain His love Ameen !!
