I was fortunate to visit Saeed Anwar in Karachi, and I spent perhaps 15-20 minutes with him.

My friend introduced me as a cricket player/administrator (which I no longer am b/c Alhumdolillah I have devoted my time to Deen as much as possible).

So Saeed bhai said this one liner which was cricket related and it really hit the heart.

He said "Ap to itni boori pitches per khelay, phir bhi itnay achay khelray hain, hum to zabardast pitch per bhi nahin apkay tara khelsactay hain"

The literal translation - "You play on bad pitches (surfaces) yet play so well, we play on beautiful surfaces, yet can not play as well as you".

The meaning was that in such a land of filth and sin, we (talking to me and my brother from the USA) are playing so well (Following the Sunnah)... and those who live in PK which is a land of Islam, still can not follow the Sunnah.

This one liner in URDU really hits the heart. May Allah (swt) give us all the taufeeq to accell over the rest, and stick to the Sunnah of the Nabi Rasul

no matter where we are or what we are doing.

May Allah (swt) grant Jannat al Firdous to people like Mohammed Yousuf, Saeed Anwar, and Hashim Amla who in their Silent DAWA are turning heads around.
