The 1 Cent Coin By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ ) Once, when going for a walk via a park, with some friends, we discovered a feature, whereby were numerous 2 cent coins and 1 cent. On realizing this, it found mind, that because the 1 cent coin and the two cent coin have minimal value actually, no value or value is actually directed at these coins they're broadly speaking removed in a feature, after some 'want' is created. And if the desire is such, that it'd certainly be achieved with money, a simple 1 cent or 2 dollars wouldn't suffice for the fulfilment of the desires of these who put with any such hope None the less, I offered this example to my companions: The worthiness of the 1 dollar coin, after having separated it self from the R5 coin, or the R100 notice, diminished. It 'decreased', as they say. Therefore many go by such features, and yet no one thinks getting one or perhaps a handful of these coins. Nevertheless, when that 1 penny cash attaches it self to the R100 note, then its importance and value is recognized as just like that R100 note. Its importance increases It's now section of R100, once the 1 dollar cash attaches it self to the R100 note. And if that 1 penny cash favors its 'independence' then undoubtedly, that is always to its own decline. It'll then be viewed unimportant and useless, and will be dumped in certain feature or cast on the road. In a fashion, when Saalikeen attach themselves to the Ahlullah, by maintaining their pious organization and copying them in their talk, steps and character, their price increases. When we keep consitently the organization of friends of Allah Ta'ala, then Insha-Allah, we may, through the benefits of the importance, also obtain some worth. Important and when there is sincerity, the Saalik will even become as useful. A wonderful analogy had been given by my Shaykh, Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb ( DB ) when he visited South Africa, and noticed the mud of the silver mines in Gauteng. He described that the sand which remained in the organization of gold, turned 'fantastic' in colour. Something as ordinary as sand got on the color and tone of anything as precious as gold. Therefore also, one may observe that the mud which includes coal, becomes dark in color. Hazrat then compared the 'golden sand' to the one who truly befriends and associates with the Ahlullah. Such an individual won't only get the same colouring as 'gold'; he'll become gold. People who believe they could take the road to Allah Ta'ala (Sulook) on their own and also become therefore 'useful', are very mistaken. Actually our honourable and respectable Maulana Jalaluddeen Rumi (Rahmatullah 'alaih) had stated : 'People addressed me as, 'Molvi', until I attached myself to the blessed company of Shamsuddeen Tabrezi. Then people started addressing me as 'Maula-e-Rum' (The Master of Rum ).' On the other hand, the Sahaba-e-Kiraam (RA) turned 'Sahabah' simply because they attached themselves to the fortunate, july and special organization of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam). This 'Suhbat' (friendship) of the Ahlullah may be the medium of religious achievement. Nevertheless, great caution must certanly be used in selecting a coach. That caution can't be stressed enough. Only the garb of piety or ornate talk doesn't create a individual a (pal) of Allah Ta'ala. Some 'friends' have alternate and worldly motives; particularly of pushing their mureedeen (disciples) of the income. They only give their mureedeen, wazaa`if and some tasbeehs to see. There's no disciplining, no training, and no change. How can his mureeds change their lives, when there is no Deen in the Shaykh? him to free his mureeds from nafs and shaytaan? once the Shaykh is just a captive of nafs (pride) and shaytaan, how could it be possible? Consequently Maulana Jalaluddeen Rumi (Rahmatullah 'alaih) had said: 'Develop connection with a righteous one To ensure that through his organization and du`aa you might succeed, But visit a guide who's conscious in most circumstances So you also can become conscious. And should you stay static in the organization of the vanquished You also will end up vanquished.' There are many who make the state to be mashaa`ik but are themselves swept up in the snares of nafs and shaytaan. They've not really acknowledged their very own nafs, have no experience in the area of Islaah and Tazkia, and in the place of leading, they misguide. They then turn into a test for the folks. The real Mashaa`ik don't promote and market themselves, or do they canvass for mureedeen. They don't pursue after reputation and name. They don't hanker after Dunya. They would like to remain hidden, but Allah Ta'ala occasionally selects in order for them to be identified. Thus, whenever choosing a Shaykh, think about the Shaykh who is educated, useful on his understanding, pious, discovered and experienced in the area of Islaah and Tazkia, and recognized by the Ulama-e-Haq as you who is really Sahib-e-Nisbat and Waliullah. It's through attaching yourself to this type of Shaykh that the Saalik may obtain value. Hazrat Dr. Abdul Hay Saheb (Rahmatullah 'alaih), who was an elderly Khalifa of Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (Rahmatullah 'alaih), was will not to express : 'There's just one method to satisfy Him (Allah), Find the street from people who Have previously found Him.'
