Gems 31 -35





Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Selected and concise advices / sayings of 
Hazrat Maulana Abdul Hamid Is`haq Saheb 
(Daamat Barakaatuhum)





31.

Your action of abstinence (from sins) makes you a favourite and friend of Allah (Jalla Jalaaluhu)


32.

The person who harbours evil thoughts of the Ahlullah is the one who is deprived; who is cut off from many spiritual blessings.


33.

In the Majaalis of the Sheikh, general prescriptions are given.

However, if a Mureed maintains his Ta-alluq, informing the Sheikh of his spiritual weaknesses, whether when meeting with him or via correspondence, that Mureed is privileged with a Tailor-made prescription. 

There is great progress in informing the Sheikh, but how many do so?


34.

We must not be ‘salt’ with the label of ‘sugar’. Allah (Jalla Jalaaluhu)’s Help is not on the label, but it is on the reality.


35.

People call by different names: Extremists, fundamentalists, radicals, fanatics, rebels, terrorists. …Don’t feel offended. Glad tidings to the Ghurabah (strangers).

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: “Islam began as something strange and it will return strange as it began, so glad tidings for the strangers.”

[Sahih Muslim]
