1.         If a person feeds his Muslim brother until he is sated, and gives water to him until he is sated, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will move the feeding person as far away from Hell as is the distance of seven ditches. The distance between two ditches is 500 years. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman lil-Bayhaqi, vol. 3, pp. 217, Hadees 3368)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grant us enthusiasm for serving the Muslims with sincerity, helping the distressed people and the needy! May He عَزَّوَجَلَّ also grant us the privilege to carry out pious acts and save us from the destruction of ostentation!

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! In this very short life, we should help the Muslims in their times of trouble as much as possible, fulfil the need of the people, spend your life carrying out good deeds and refraining from the evil ones.

Indulging oneself in temporary pleasure, hustle and bustle, beauty and attraction of this mortal world and becoming negligent of Hereafter is sheer foolishness. Remember! Our salvation lies only in following the commandments of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم so that we could collect treasure of good deeds and refrain from committing sins. For the accomplishment of this great aim, one must have fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in his heart. Unless one is blessed with Divine fear, it is almost impossible for him to have love for good deeds and to refrain from sins. Despite performing a lot of acts of worship, how deep fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ our Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had! Let’s listen to it:

Sayyiduna Shaykh Sa’di Sheerazi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated that he saw Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه in Haram-e-Ka’bah pleading with Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ: ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Forgive me and if I deserve punishment, then resurrect me blind on the Judgement Day so that I would not be ashamed in the presence of pious people.’ (Gulistan-e-Sa’di, pp. 45)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you seen! Despite being the chosen and beloved saint of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had intense fear of
