Your Solution:
Read books. 16 pages a day. From the lives of Auliya Allah Ta'ala.
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“The Saaliheen are departing one after the other (in quick succession) until there will remain only the scum such as the chaff of dates or barley. Allah Ta’ala will have no care whatsoever for them.â€
In this era we are deprived of the Saadiqeen. When the physical companionship of the Saadiqeen is not available, all the Mashaaikh have advised and emphasized the imperative importance of reading daily many pages from the life episodes, advices and admonition of the Auliya. Insha-Allah, this will become an adequate substitute for the sincere seeker of Islaah – moral reformation and spiritual elevation.
Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi (Rahmatullah alayh) said that the Waaqiaat (Anecdotes) of the Auliya are among the armies of Allah Azza Wa Jal. They morally purify and spiritually fortify the Traveller along the Path of Rectitude leading to Allah Ta’ala. Confirming this truth, the Qur’aan Majeed says:
“And, whatever We narrate to you of the stories of the Rusul
(Messengers of bygone times and of the Auliya), is to fortify your heart.â€
This Aayat is in the first instance for Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The address is directed at him. When the Waaqiaat of the bygone Ambiya and Saadiqeen are a means for fortifying the purified heart of even Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), then we can understand the need for us to adopt this method prescribed by the Qur’aan Majeed.
The imperative importance of companionship with the Saadiqeen is highlighted and emphasized in the following Qur’aanic Aayat:
“And, keep yourself (O Muhammad!) resolutely with those who call unto their Rabb morning and evening for the Sake of His Face (His Pleasure), and do not divert your eyes from them. Do you desire the adornment of the dunya? And, do not follow him whose heart is ghaafil (oblivious) of Our Thikr and he follows his vain desires, and his affairs are in transgression of the limits.â€
(Kahaf, Aayat 28)
Someone asked Hadhrat Shaikh Bu Ali Daqqaaq (Rahmatullah alayh) if there was any benefit in listening to the episodes of the Auliya if one does not practise accordingly. He said that there are two benefits.
(1) If the person is a seeker of the Truth, his resolution will increase. His search will increase.
(2) If a person suffers from pride, then his pride will diminish, and he will abstain from making claims of deception. He will view his virtues as deficiencies.
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the Rahmat of Allah Ta’ala descends when the stories of the Auliya are narrated. The Faidh (spiritual effulgence) of the Auliya whose life episodes are narrated exercises an effect on the audiences and becomes a wealth of fortune for them before Maut.
Some people asked Shaikh Abu Yusuf Hamdaani (Rahmatullah alayh): “When the Auliya disappear – when they are hidden, then what should we do to remain safe from the moral and spiritual ravages of the world?†The Shaikh said: “Daily read 16 pages of their advices and admonition..â€
Hadhrat Shaikh Fareeduddeen Attaar (Rahmatullah alayh) said: “This kalaam (i.e. the advices of the Auliya) is the best speech. It creates an aversion in the heart for the dunya. It reminds of the Aakhirat. It cultivates friendship for Allah Ta’ala in the heart. It impels a person to make preparations for the Aakhirat. The kalaam of the Auliya is the commentary of the Qur’aan and Ahaadith.â€
I work with kids. I have made it wajib on myself to read them stories of Auliya. Instill the love for books in their hearts, watch how they want to learn about Islam.
I'm going to post some letters clearing up the actions (meaning to prove what he is doing is 100% incorrect) of MTJ. Just waiting on my brothers phone. These letters are like a burial service for Hadrhat worship. * The letters have been Attached*
The whole book is now in English as well. Tazkiratul Rashid, can be ordered from Idara company in India. Very cheap price.
Our Aslaaf (May Allah Ta'ala enlighten all their graves and give them the best reward) did not leave us empty-handed. They also gave all the solutions. Just look into their lives and seek, I can take Qasam you will InshaAllah Ta'ala be guided. ***ADDED PAGE 209-210***
