Respect is Not an Ordinary Thing: The person who considers respect an ordinary thing is lacking in fulfilling obligations. And the person who considers obligations easy remains a stranger to the Knowledge (of God).
Excerpt from the Weekly Sermon
A Sermon of Peace and Spirituality
Sheikhul-Wazaaif, Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mehmood Majzoobi Chughtai
Barren Lives are Becoming Fertile! How is This Happening?
Continuous Appearance in the Gatherings of People of Allah:
When we bring ourselves to the atmosphere of Allah for the love of Allah, we get spiritual diet from it. In the gatherings of Allah we learn some lesson. The people who come to the sermon tell me that our houses that were barren, they are becoming habitable again. And ruined lives are becoming fertile again. How is this happening? The reason for this is that in the gatherings of Allah, a direction for love of Allah, devotion to Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) is found. A perspective for the companions (رضی اللہ عنہ) of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and Ahl-e-Bait (رضی اللہ عنہ) is found.
Acquire all the worldly education for yourself, your offspring and your generations. I have never complained regarding seeking worldly knowledge. But give the jewelry of good manners to your offspring. Give them the jewelry of faith. Pray behind the back of your offspring. Give charity for them everyday and pray for them. Pray for them every day after the prayers. The way you pray for bread and butter. The way you recite the wazaaif and pray for your shop, bliss of the business, just like that my friends! Pray for your generations and your offspring. And you will have to pray for yourself.
Real Guidance of the Prayers:
Often I suggest a routine for prayers. People of Allah! Lift your hands like this for prayers!! Join both of the hands and consider that this is a utensil and put your heart in this utensil and say to Allah, O our Lord! This heart is black, O Allah please accept this heart for the acquaintance of your High Self. Lift your hands like this and pray for hours. For a few minutes you should think that my heart is not in my chest. It is in the utensil of my both hands. And lift the hands for prayers and imagine that I am presenting the utensil of my heart to Allah Almighty. And my Allah, is concentrating on my heart and He is loving me. Allah Karim, my heart is full of effluvium. It is not worthy of being presented to you. You are very generous and merciful. And then say to Allah that Your generous people are such that they treat Your people affectionately. Corpses smell badly, they bathe them. And after bathing them they bury them. They keep their secrets. O Allah give a shower to this pungent heart of Your love, of Your affection, of Your adoration. And O Allah, after bathing put a curtain of your blessing upon my heart. May Your mercy keep on showering over it forever. May your endowments keep on showering upon it forever.
Return The Blessing of the Generous to the Generous:
My Friends! Work on your hearts. A few people who work on their hearts can be found. But work on your minds too. Work on your hearts and minds. And make those thoughts your thoughts, and those understandings your understandings. Work on your hearts and minds. Till the time you do not work on your hearts and minds, you will not acquire the true acquaintance of Allah Almighty, true love of Allah Almighty, and true blessings in your life. I want to acquire for you true blessings. And true blessings are the one that is not snatched once it is acquired. This will happen when these sensitive, precious utensils that have been bestowed by that Generous Lord, you will return these to that Karim. Father brought a box of sweets, but first he gave him one piece, and then he hid the remaining box. Then he asked the son to give him a slice. Now the son says that he will not give it. Although the father brought the whole box for him. If the son gave it to him, the father would have become happy and with that slice of sweet, he would have given him back that whole box.
Please Concentrate on What I Say:
If Allah Almighty has given this heart and this mind. And He has given so much capabilities and blessings in them. Tell me one thing. If Allah had made our mind that of animals, so the animals have minds too as well right? Some people are such that their minds become so as if they are the minds of the animals. They have no knowledge about what is happening in this world. They think negatively about everything. Allah does so to show us that. If Allah does something like this then what can you do?
From Today I Shall Do What You Wish: Return your heart to the Generous. That O Allah the passions of this heart, its emotions, its thoughts, the rise and fall, its ups and downs, the thoughts in it, it feelings, were those till now that were of the world. But O My Allah! From today they shall be those that are of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). From today I have made the desires of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) mine. O Allah, now I am changing my thoughts. My Generous Lord! I shall think about what You wish! And even if my thoughts went astray, I shall revert back to you, that you are my helper and protector. You are my doctor. I am an eternal patient, and You are always generous. You are my caretaker. I shall revert to you. (Continued)
