Another problem with us is that we try to impress people about our religiosity using a materialistic approach. We will buy the latest Iphones, great big luxury cars, build big houses.. When you ask why? Our answer will be, to bring people towards deen. There was a shaikh once, I spend some time with him. He was very rich. His mureed was telling me, you know why these big landlords are impressed so much by hazrat? I said no I don't know. He said because of Hazrat wealth, because of hazrats cars and because Hazrat himself is a big landlord and very rich! I guarantee you that whoever is impressed by these things is not worthy of impressing. Just as Hazrat Umar رضي الله عنه و ارضاه وفداه نفسي said that if we try to gain honour through things other than Islam, Allah will disgrace us, these things don't impress people. People have more than us. What truly impresses the world is our Zuhd and our Steadfastness on Deen. Why did the world accept the Akabir of Deoband as great people? Why? Because of their Zuhd, Taqwa and their steadfastness on deen. Not because of their big bungalows, big madressahs, new cars and fancy dresses...
