These buzurgs you have mentioned are of very high calibres. So I am not worthy of recieving any of their comments.



These practices should be ongoing for me, especially tahajudd. even when if I started acting upon the 4 things.

Since you asked the question, I had been praying for months, about 3-4 months, it has been about an year since I had my first lesson. And it really depends on the conditions in our family, about the chances of going back to the home country and sitting with the shaykh to get my other lessons.

And ameen to your dua.



Ameen.
It is always my dua that Allah (swt) make everyone of us wali of this time. Ameen.

Bhai User.. one does not tie a defective black pebble along with such lustruous gems..

i thought about adding something yesterday.. but my mind was over whelmed by ur post.. dont know when i shall get taufeeq.. pls make dua that Allah gives me ikhlaas.. that the meagre defective amals if i ever did would get accepted.. everything indeed lies in his fadhl..

an incident quoted by Hazrat Maulana Shah Wasiullah sahab ilahabadi comes to mind..

That a buzurg was once passing by a fort.. high above was seated the king gazing at the goings on down below.. the king wished to speak to him.. lowered a rope and signalled to come up..

the buzurg climbed up and presented himself.. after salams.. the king asked him.. ' Tell me how did u reach Allah ..?'
and the buzurg replied..' The same way i reached u..'

puzzled.. the king asked him to clarify.. and the buzurg replied..' in the same way u lowered me the rope and i reached u so easily bypassing all gates and durbans.. similarly Allah jalla jalalahu lowered the rope of his love in my heart.. and i climbed up..'

Hazrat Maulana Shah Wasiullah sahab ilahabadi (rah) further says that for the king to notice the buzurg coming his way.. the buzurg had to leave his home.. walk for a distance and then gain the sight of the king.. similarly to gain the rope of love from Allah (swt).. one has to do mujahida.. toil in his way.. then only one shall deserve his benovelent gaze..

the same applies when we go in jamaat.. we leave our environment.. our wishes.. desires.. make intention pure for Allah (swt) that we are setting out for our islah.. so the gaze of his mercy shall certainly descend..insha Allah..

May Allah (swt) give ikhlaas to all of us.. ameen..

duas..

wa assalam..
