Shaykh-ul-Wazaaif, Hazrat Hakeem Tariq Mehmood Majzoobi Chughtai An Excerpt From The Weekly Sermon
People of Allah! Engage every person in one or another good deed. Become a candle for someone’s welfare. Do not become a well. Because the well says,”You walk and come to me.” But the rain says, “No I will come.” Rain even falls on places where there is no benefit. Rain falls on the stones too which are actually barren. If rain falls on fertile soil, it produces harvest. But if it falls on barren land, that does not become fertile. But in reality no water of rainfall goes in vain. The same water that falls on stones acquires the shape of river and canals. The one that falls on lands gets absorbed by the land. And the one that reaches to us and you is the one that falls on the one that falls on stones. Snow and rain fell on stones, they did not accept it. They forwarded that water ahead. Water gushed over. The same water reached plains after massive accumulation. It reached the farmers. Allah grew crops with the help of that. People of Allah! Be careful. If you ever come across a stone hearted person who does not accept what you say, do not consider that what you said has gone in vein.
Irrespective of your condition, keep connected with ALLAH
What not is in Allah’s control; keep begging
If you’ll sit uselessly, your wings shall wither
Although you can’t flee, keep flapping in the cage
Tu ho kisi b haal mai, maula se lo lagayay ja
Qudrat-e-Zuljalal mai kiya nahi? Girgirayay ja
Chain se bathay ga agar; kaam k kiya rahain gay par
Go na nikal sakay ga magar; pinjray may pharpharayay ja
True Bargain: One of my father’s (RA) friends had arranged a walima gathering. He said, “I have come to invite you for walima.” I said that I would definitely come. The walima was in the village and it was quite hot. Beds had been spread under the shades of Acacia. We were asked to sit down while people waited for the walima. Now with my bed one or two other friends came and sat down. I thought that now is the time to sell my things. The one who sells naswaar sells that in the bus. The one sells balms sells balms for head ache. The one who sells antimony does that when he gets a chance. His things, no matter how good or bad they were, he sold it. I have the pure pearls of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), why should I not sell them?
Sometimes I sit in a bus and I see that the person who sells things in the bus prays for everyone. O Allah! May the bus reach safe and sound to its destination along with its passengers. Then he recites a bit of poetry, tap the pipe of the bus with his rings. And he draws attention of the people. I was looking at him. I said to myself, “Look how he is selling his things. Tariq! The message of your beloved prophet (may Allah’s peace be upon him) is true and pure. Kamli waala (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was true and his message was also pure. There is no doubt.” So I said that Tariq, you have not even sold your things.
Women can propagate the message of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace be upon him) very well. Because as soon as they would meet someone,they would talk about each and everything according to a well prepared manner. We will not remember that someone was wearing, what was the design; men often do not remember which fashion was that, what the style was. But women remember precisely about everything. If these women of Allah decide that we have to spread the message of Islam and that of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) in the whole world and that they have to present the system of Allah to the whole world and give the classification of Allah, that they want to persuade them to do good deeds. You never know who may become a source of light for our graves.
Those whose graves stay alive: Haji Ghulam Rasool Kamboh sahib used to live in our neighborhood. It was my childhood at that time. 1 mosque was being built in our neighborhood. Haji sahib used to say, “If you pick up three bricks of the mosque, Allah would raise your three ranks. I used to pick up 30 bricks at a time. Saying such things was a routine matter for him. He used to travel from one place to the next due to his business activities. He worshipped the whole night on shab-e-barat and demised the next morning. In the morning, few people came in the city and started finding him. At last someone told the address. They came to know that he had died. They started crying. They started saying, Haji sahib came to us and stayed with us. Due to his stay with us, our lives, our houses, and our ways of life changed, our behavior, our social lives changed. We thought why we should not meet our mentor. Then they started saying, take us to his grave. They cried a lot when they went to the grave. And they kept sitting and kept on reciting for their isaal-e-sawab. They said that they had decided that from that day onwards they would recite something for haji sahib for his isaal-e-sawab. The following verse of Hazrat Sultan Bahoo came to my mind:
This is the grave that became a source of guidance for people. The grave became a source for sending the message of Islam to the creation. It became a source for persuading people for doing good deeds. We shall recite for the person in this grave. (Continued).
