شہرِ بَغداد مُجھ کو ہے پِیارا، خُوب دِلکش وہاں کا نَظَّارَہ

میرا مُرشِدجو جَلوَہ آرا ہے، واہ کِیا بات غَوثِ اَعظم کی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Quit the idea of eating and offered Salah

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Sulami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated, Shaykh Muhyuddin Sayyid ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani, Qutb-e-Rabbani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه related one of his parables to me in this way: When I was living in Qutbiyyah Sharqi (a city’s locality), I spent some extreme hard days that I had nothing to eat nor any money to buy anything. Once in this state, a man immediately handed a small packet of paper over to me and left. I reached a Masjid after I had bought halvah [i.e. dessert] and Paratha [i.e. a flatbread fried in a pan] with the money I had found in that packet, and was worried about it whether I should eat or not. In the meanwhile, I saw a piece of paper kept inside the wall of the Masjid, bearing words, ‘We have created the wish for food for those Mu’mineen who become physically weak so that they can get strength from it for worship’. Having read that piece of paper, I left food over there, offered two Rak’aat Salah and went out of the Masjid. (Qalaaid-ul-Jawahir, pp. 10)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you seen that Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not eat food until he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه got utterly exhausted and had no more strength to perform any acts of worship further. If we ponder over our situation, today, our doings are contrary to his noble lifestyle. We eat and drink (water, beverages etc.) merely for the pleasure of Nafs and untimely eating habits seem to be the purpose of our life. By virtue of Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, I wish that we may also be blessed with Qufl-e-Madinah [i.e. Madani guard] of stomach.
