Eid and the true servantsof Allah

By: Maulana Ilyas Patel Sahib

We have learnt the lesson of Taqwa. We have

learnt that lesson which the fasting was meant to teachus. Allah Ta'ala is watching! Yes, Allah Ta'ala isWatching! Every time there was an urge to eat or drinkwhile fasting, the voice from within was crying outAllah Ta'ala is watching! "o#ens of times daily for anentire month this reality was reaffirmed. Allah Ta'ala is

watching. $o dee%ly is it em&edded in the heart that &ythe time Ramazanul-Mubarak is over, a %erson&ecomes conscious of Allah Ta'ala to such an e tentthat he is now guided &y an inner force that %ro%els himin the direction of righteousness and turns him awayfrom sin.

TAQWAThe fasts of Ramazanul-Mubarak were

%rescri&ed for the %ur%ose and o&(ect of attainingTaqwa. This is clearly declared in the )ur'an*al*+areem. Taqwa sim%ly is to o&ey the commands of

Allah Ta'ala and refrain from all sins. The increasedrewards for l&aadah worshi%- in Ramazanul-Mubarak and all the &lessings of this great month should &econsidered as the &onus. The o&(ect is Taqwa. f one%erforms an a&undance of $alaah, com%letes therecitation of the /oly )ur'an thirty times and engages in

PURDAH

1ikewise, when the laws of %urdah are violated,does the heart cry out Allah is watching 2 0r when oneintends to watch something on T3, which will mostdefinitely involve one in #ina of the eyes and ears, doesone hear the voice from within Allah is watching, as aresult of which one refrains from that sin2 The same%ertains to the $har4ee as%ects of a%%earance andclothing. /ow often have we done things to a%%easeand %lease even the enemies of Allah Ta'ala and /a#rat5a&i Akram Sallallahu-Alaihi-Wasallam -2 /ow often havewe a&andoned the dictates of Taqwa in order to earn afew co%%ers2 5ow is the time to sincerely re%ent. t isthe time to say Allah is watching and to do everythingto %lease /im. t is a time to acquire Taqwa.

Hazrat Shaikh, Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Sahib&Rahmatullahi Alaihi% intended to go from India to Madinah-Tayyibah. Prior t o his dep arture, someone dreamt that HazratNabi-e-Kareem &Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam% was awaiting HazratShaikhs arrival i n Masjidun-Nabawi. Many people were

Hazrat Nabi-e-Kareem (Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam ) didMuaanaqah (embrace) with Hazrat Shaikh &Rahmatullahi- Alaihi%and exclaimed, "O! Maulvi, thereaer, you arrived. Hazrat

Rasulullah &Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam% made comment thatZakariyya has bec ome very weak. en he said, "All right,bring a certain medicine." Hazrat R asulullah &Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam% administered the medicine to Hazrat Shaikh&Rahmatullahi-Alaihi% with his own Mubaarak hands. e person

who saw the dream could not remember the name of themedicine. A leer comes from Hijaaz to India for aninterpretation. e name of the medicine is forgoen. Whatshould w e do?

Hazrat Mui Sahib replied, "ere i s no need to rememberwhat medicine it was. Hazrat Nabi Akram &Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam% did not s ay, Give him such and such medicine. Or,Take such and such medicine. Rather, he had personallyordered the medication and administered it h imself. Whatharm is t here in not remembering the n ame o f the m edicine?Had Hazrat Nabi Akram &Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam% given the

instructions to take a certain medicine, then in that cas e itwould have been necessary to remember its nam e. However,Hazrat Nabi-e-Kareem &Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam% himself hadgiven some an tidote f or weakness.

Imagine bei ng present there an d being embraced by HazratRasulullah &Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam% . How wonderful! DuringHajj, crowds are h uge.

Hazrat Shaikh &Rahmatullahi-Alaihi%was yearning topresent himself at the Rauzah-Mubaarak, but because of t hehuge crowd, he w as u nable to do so. He, therefore, requested

his a endants t o take him upstairs from where he could seethe green dome. He joined the Jamaaah from here. He feltcomfortable r eading Salah here.

One person saw a dream that Maulana Rashid AhmadGangohi &Rahmatullahi-Alaihi% is close to Hazrat N abi-e-Kareem&Sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam%
