a half dirham from a hundred is the Zakah (poor tax) belonging to the poor
amongst the people of the World while the Zakah of the Siddiques is to give

cut down a fruit bearing tree.

Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala is likened to knowledge while being oblivious of your
Creator SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala is likened to ignorance.
µ Ikhlas
(good conduct) is: when one does not require reward in exchange for a good deed.
µ Whosoever
gets involved in the work of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala then Allah SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala gets involved in his work.
µ Man is
weak, yet it is astonishing that he is insistent in disobeying the commands of
the Almighty Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
µ He
should know that his heart is empty of Faith (Iman) when good advice has no

µ You are
busy pursuing the comforts and luxuries to make your life comfortable in this
World while the World is in earnest preparation to expel you from her.

not benefit the tongue to speak of the losses incurred upon a person’s Worldly
investments.

one goes to offer his condolences to the bereaving family then one should say –
Adopt patience for there is no calamity in it and do not cry for there is no
benefit in it. Remember the Messenger of Allah r and the great loss sustained
through his departure from this World and your misfortune shall seem small in
comparison.

your actions or deeds think of the omnipotence of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala then
continue with fear and modesty. I swear by Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala that
whenever I present myself in front of him with any need or desire, I bow my head
in modesty.

µ When
the camel’s bridle falls then one gets down and picks it up. The question never
arises to ask somebody else to do it. (p.s. endeavour to do things on your own
without relying on others to do it for you)
µ When a
servant of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala marvels at the beauty of this material
World then Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala becomes his enemy until he isolates himself
from that beauty.
µ Alas!
If only I were a tree so that I could be chopped down and eaten. (The reason for
such an extreme is the status of fear and sorrow overpowering it)
µ The

Hereafter.

deeds.

Junayd Radi Allahu Anhu says that among the sayings of the Companion of the Holy
Prophet regarding Tawheed (oneness of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala) the saying of
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddique Siddiq Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu is the most
excellent and he said this: There is no other road created besides
submission/humility and helplessness for the creation and Allah SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala is most high, most pure.
µ If any
good deeds, for whatsoever reason is unaccomplished, then endeavour to
accomplish it and if a good deed is accomplished then make an effort to
accomplish more.
µ When
good advice does not affect a change in ones ways then know this that, ones
heart is empty from Iman (Faith).
µ The
strength of knowledge when it surpasses the boundaries gives birth to deceit and
cunningness and when it is deficient or worthless then it gives birth to
stupidity and gullibility.
