- Could save money but spends in haste.
- Rizq comes but refuses to accept.
- Does not decide or settle the transactions, wages in advance which creates utter chaos later. Many people’s intentions change when they see money, solely because of a talented greed they were pottering. Some people even do not pay the settled money. If there is a clash between money and prestige, spend money to protect the respect. See the surroundings of a person and observe who is connected to whom then handle them accordingly.

Some people are very clever they know how to extract secrets from others yet keeping distant of their own, they are very curious to know about others personal affairs, all I can advise be careful ! Many people are disappointed about their children, one thing we must understand that there is blank space in the child’s heart which parents need to fill with love and care. Otherwise the outside world influence of friends, songs, addictions of different forms ultimately will take away children from you. When your children become mature involve them in every domestic consultation (maswara) so that they don’t feel neglected. Give adequate quality time to your family, business, health and profession and don’t keep your head heavy with so many burdens, else the quality of your performance shall suffer. Try your best so that you don’t leave your children as beggars or maimed individuals of Deen, do something for them before you depart for the other world. Good education with Deen would be the excellent remedies InshaAllaah. It is not compulsory to reply to every query, ignore some but include wise ones. Be disciplined, punctual, to the point and never exaggerate things or acts. “Self praising” should not earn a place in your heart and never try making others as your slaves. Be kind and polite to your servants who serve you all day. Sometimes misunderstanding do develop amongst friends and relatives, clear it amicably, respectfully, politely, in a humble manner with a smile on the face. These days people are under stress as the brain is filled with tension, it’s like the 440 volts of dc current flowing, the moment you utter something they react with their dc supply. Carefully handle them. Don’t narrow your hearts; (tangdili) with small things, the heart should be as deep as ocean as vast as sky as firm as mountain. (Prophet Peace be upon him qualities)
Learn how to apologize
If misunderstandings develop amongst family members never feel shy to apologize. Convey it in this manner or any other way as you may wish. “My apology to you, throughout my life you have done so much favors and assistance to me like a father like a brother which I cannot repay. I have been trying to reform myself so that I don’t commit these mistakes again, although it’s taking a long time and a difficult one too. Anyhow please do forgive me once again.”
Some chaos and sufferings.
- Loses or forgets to take room and car keys, does not possess a spare one. .
- Gas, geyser is not switched off.
- Mobile phones are not charged or forgotten to take the charger.
- Forgets to put the mobile on silent mode during sleep or at the Mosque.
- Goes out without money and a driving license.
- Rides car but does not look at the tyres in advance.
- Reaches the airport or station without a ticket or passport (as the case may be).
- Does not keep pen and paper as a neighbour to the telephone. Does not maintain appointments and engagements or confirm it in advance.
- Leaves and forgets valuables, sun glass, mobile in the taxi.
- Some people visit mosque and public places wearing filthy and stinking clothes, wearing dirty smelling socks . Their mouth also smells while taking. May The Almighty Allaah give them the ability to understand how painful it is for the others and the Angels (Malaika). Be extremely cautious while dealing with foreign currency such as dollars, pounds, dinar’s etc. Different countries have different valuation; many mistakes occur at cash counters because of unfamiliarity of foreign countries’ currency and their present valuations. The more you convert the currency to different form the more valuation goes down.
- Some people want to visit a sick person, which gives a huge reward by The Almighty Allaah and one should visit but don’t forget that staying there too long at times becomes painful to the patient. Give the patients hope, that by the Grace of The Almighty Allaah you will be cured very soon InshaAllah. Make sure that when you visit someone’s house, before leaving you must not forget to take your belongings, like your keys, pen, watch, glasses, purse etc. Before leaving any place, you must look if you are forgetting something.
- You will encounter some people whose behaviour might hurt you but, they have such experience (hooner) or knowledge of something for which you would need their support and help but, the moment you meet them you are hurt with their arrogance and ignorance. Don’t be upset or small-hearted, just accept them the way they are. Never break up a relationship with them. If you find that half of their life is faulty, accept rest of their good qualities.
How to select a bride and groom
Be extremely cautious, take all precautions while selecting a girl or boy for marriage, consider him/her from different angles, analyze, look out for Deendari, education, beauty, family background, attitude (Mejaj), status, environment etc. Marriage is an institution that should be taken seriously. It is not a car’s tyre that one can change easily. Life partner is a question of generations ahead and is an affair of a lifetime, right selection is thus very important to avoid chaos and serious sufferings. Doing Isthikhara (Consulting The Almighty Allaah) is a must and to be done again and again to clear all doubts and mysteries that prevail. Although you cannot have all the above stated qualities in a single woman or a boy you should give priority to Deendari while selecting a suitable match for your children. If already married then you must possess Sabr (patience) to avoid chaos InshaAllah The Almighty Allaah will reward you and help you to do your own reformation (Islah). One thing husband must remember that the wife has given her best part of her life (the youth).
- Some people love their servants a lot, because they find them more concerned about them. By day and night they serve comforts. I have personally seen how rudely people behave with their servants. The servants nightmares are worsened when they are forced to work despite their severe headache or stomach ache. The Prophet Peace be upon him, before departing from this world, warned us about servant’s rights and Namaz. My hearty request to the readers of this book, be kind and nice to servants, look after them well, just as the way you take care of your own family members.
- You will encounter some people whose behaviour might hurt you but, they have such experience (hooner) or knowledge of something for which you would need their support and help but, the moment you meet them you are hurt with their arrogance and ignorance. Don’t be upset or small-hearted, just accept them the way they are. Never break up a relationship with them. If you find half of their life faulty, try to accept them of the rest of their good qualities.
- Kids must not use computers for too long, it will affect their eye sight. Make sure they take permission from their parents to use computers. Internet should be blocked with password as many internet sites are not suitable for them. Be vigilant about it.
- Sometimes we feel obstructions and problems. If you notice ample peace in the heart and mind, it means The Almighty Allaah is with you. Overthrow nervousness and stresses, InshaAllah, help will follow you very soon. But if you notice restlessness and chaos within yourself and if the material world is against your favour then you need to do more and more Tauba (repentance).
- Sometime conflicts occur between two very important things. For example if your mother is sick but an international customer has landed from abroad and you have some important commitments with them, to whom shall you give more priority? The Almighty Allaah’s Commands are to look after mother’s illnesses but your mind is chasing the customer for worldly gains because of Satan’s influence. If you give priorities to that customer and neglect your mother’s treatment, The Almighty Allaah’s hidden kingdom will take action against of you. You will face troubles, obstructions and losses as you violated The Almighty Allaah’s Commands; ‘He’ is the owner of the Universe and everybody’s heart is in His hands. Then you will cry “Oh! My business suffered losses!” forgetting that you have violated The Almighty Allaah’s Commands that is the reason why you are suffering. Often people commit such mistakes.
- If you go somewhere then you must return after finishing the required work, rather than wandering here and there. If somebody has sent you for some work you must give him or her the desired feed back as he or she is waiting for your answer.
- You must try to analyze and understand the problems of the people. Otherwise Satan will rupture the heart and make others inferior by ill feelings. This is one of the cruel acts of Satan what he often does.
- Don’t take people for granted because of your expertise in something. Greedy, bad people sometime misbehave with others because they are very special in his profession and people need their help and support. Their ill behaviour hurts people too much. Remember they will pay heavy price for such arrogance if they encounter a pious man as The Almighty Allaah’s hidden kingdom is in the favour the pious man. So I warn be humble to the people.
- Everyone should think I am the root cause of many problems, I need to reform myself. Husband, wife, children, parents, driver, T.T. all should think this way instead of blaming each other. World is running towards the Day of Judgment (kiyamath) when many new things will happen which we have not seen before. So better not to discuss bad and evil things.
- I met one pious man Hazrat Maulana Saukat sahib (D.B.) at Mumbai. I became astonished by seeing his love for Hadees of Rasool Peace be upon him. When I recited some Hadees, his eyes filled with tears. It has happened many times not once. I was surprised to know that when he used to talk to his disciples they used to cry on listening to his sayings; it reflects great respect they have for him. These days we really miss that respect for our elders, Mashaiks.
- There is no other way to rectify life without spending time in the path of The Almighty Allaah (Dawah). Without the work of Dawah there won’t be any consistency of Amaal, because the strength of Amaal comes by the Iman and wisdom which comes from the path of The Almighty Allaah. People need two things in life i.e., help from The Almighty Allaah and Barakath (plenty) and we will be able to achieve that only when we do the work of Dawah. Because The Almighty Allaah always helps his Prophetic mission.
- Don’t drink water while having food as it destroys digestive juices. Drink after an hour or so.
- Those who fear The Almighty Allaah, material world fear him, those who do not fear The Almighty Allaah, they fear material world too much. It’s a fact.
We are too lazy or ignorant about two things which are the most important aspect of our life.
- Fear of The Almighty Allaah.
- Cautious about own Nafs (desires).
- Management consultant says direct approach is always better.
- Companion of Prophet Peace be upon him says we have never seen him in pleasure and comforts, he was always into hardship.
- People are always in haste whereas The Almighty Allaah does everything slowly and step by step.
- People use very little of their knowledge. It’s true that we know so many things but apply very little to our day to day life.
- Wasting of water is an offence; don’t waste water even if you are nearer to the sea.
- Person will not go to Hell because of the sins. But because the door of Tauba was open till his death; still he had not tried to change or purify himself.
- The other name of the Duniya is obstruction and hardship (mujahada), so when you face those don’t be surprised, search something that is missing or to be rectified.
- If we do the work of Dawah that will bring help and Nushrat from The Almighty Allaah, if we leave that work, there will be obstructions and troubles everywhere. The Almighty Allaah’s hidden kingdom comes in favour by doing the work of Dawah.
- Many author, politicians, lawyers, doctors and heavy weight-industrialists reach the sky with their success with a pride. It is better if they keep their feet on earth, try to be humble, polite, gentle and listen to poor, wipe the tears of the widows, keep a tender hand on orphans, help them, sit with them, be concerned about their sufferings; be with them in their happiness and sorrows. Read the life of Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Aziz you will understand, being a powerful Caliph how he was committed to his people.
Once Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiqui R. A. said to Hazrat Umer R. A. “All the disbelievers will become believers in the Hereafter, fallen man would become perfect there. A Liar shall speak truth.
Hazrat Umer R. A. has advised all to follow Prophet Peace be upon him and his principles. If you cast aside your loyalty to Prophet Peace be upon him then you would destroy all your good deeds and you would become the loser. Loyalty to The Almighty Allaah and keeping away from sins will develop fear of The Almighty Allaah. If you happen to think, material world is your friend, then you will commit sins. Think about your place in the society and accordingly you determine yourself and the love of The Almighty Allaah. Love people, don’t think of yourself more than what you are or deserve. Also do not impose yourself as being important and big shot. For you worldly gifts are dangerous and harmful as sins, because these things will take you towards wrong deeds and you would be lost and shall suffer in Hell. So try to maintain distance from the seductions of the world and always remain true to the love of The Almighty Allaah.
World is a complex place. The purpose of writing this book is to guide people so that they can come out from clutches of Satan, that is why I have mentioned most of the things about life and its deception. It’s the sole reason of mentioning too many points so that readers can be aware about all aspects of life. Satan is trying and will try hard to make both the present and the next world as the fire of Hell for you. It is in the Hereafter, man will be faced with full consequences of his deeds, depending upon how right or wrong they were.
The Almighty will resurrect us and will ask us five questions. To which everybody will have to reply:
1. Where did you spend your whole life?
2. Where did you spend your youth?
3. How did you earn a living?
4. On what did you spend your earnings?
5. What knowledge have you gained and what deeds have you done accordingly?
Satan has already succeeded in his mission by making billions of people his followers. Prophetic mission has become poor and orphan, with bombardment of criticism, hatred and jokes. The religion of Islam is The Almighty Allaah’s chosen religion, it is not a man made religion, and its protection is in the hands of The Almighty Allaah. Be therefore proud of your religion and beware of corruption and falling into Hell. Protect yourselves and your families, take refuge in The Almighty Allaah from things that scare you, use your God-given wisdom to ponder over the consequences of your deeds and prevent these trials and temptations by being careful.
These are some verses of Quran:
The Almighty Allaah says what translates as, “They destroy not but their own selves, yet they perceive (it) not.” (Al-An‘aam: 26).
He also says what translates as, “Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle nay; they are even farther astray from the path (i.e. even worse than cattle).” (Al-Furqaan: 43).
He also says what translates as: “They know only the outside appearance of the life of the world and they are heedless of the Hereafter.” (Ar-Room: 7).
“Our religion is the religion of The Almighty Allaah (Islam) and which religion can be better than The Almighty Allaah’s? And we are His worshippers.” (Al-Baqarah: 138).
The Almighty Allaah says what translates as, “O you who believe! Ward from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stone, over which are (appointed) angels stern and severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from The Almighty Allaah, but do that which they are Commanded.” (At-Tahreem: 6).
Brothers in Islaam! Fear The Almighty Allaah, be conscious of Him and do not disobey Him. “O you who believe! Be afraid of The Almighty Allaah and be with those who are true (in words and deeds)” (At-Tawbah: 119).
They said glory to be you! We have no knowledge except you have taught us. You are The All knowing- The All Wise. (Surat ul Baqara: 32)
