Selected Quotations of Hazrat Thanviرحيمة الله

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.



Maajra-e-Dil
(Story of Heart)
A Poem by Majzoob

The poet says that it is better that you let me keep quiet instead of asking
me to narrate what is the story of my heart because you will all be grieved
if I narrated it. No body is here to understand the secret of my heart so I
am talking to my own heart only. But for how long can I keep crying like
this, so kindly O my Allah! Have mercy upon me now. I have said this
briefly and I am quiet now as no one else is crying like this and my heart
is ruined!

Real cure of Distresses

The real remedy of worries is to rectify your deeds. Doing so can frighten
your enemies in a few days by the Grace of Allah.

Cure of Anger

By making it a must we can improve that whenever we get angry on someone,
we should compensate by giving him some money as gift even small in amount.

Always Keep your own reform first

It is important to think about your own reform first instead of caring for others
and forgetting rectification of your own deeds. Everybody is doing so now a
days. It is foolish to lose your own luggage while guarding for other person's
shoes.

Allah Taála likes one who insists on asking

This is also evident according to a Hadith that Allah Taála likes a person who
insists Allah Taála while asking for something.

Food for the Heart

Like stomach needs edibles, eye uses vision and ear gets listening ; so does
heart by dwelling on Love. There is no food for the heart (soul) other than
love. True love is of the person who loves a perfect beloved and only Allah
is the perfect one. So by following His religion, we can get His love in this
world which is the real spiritual food of our hearts.

Stay hopeful while Praying

Keeping faith and being optimist while praying leads to success.

An argument about the kindness of Allah Taála

Saying a prayer is in fact our duty and its advantage is to us and not to Allah Taála
but He gets angry when we don't say it and vice versa. So it is an argument showing
kindness of Allah the Almighty.

Pray Consistently

The condition imposed by Allah Taála for reward of the praying is not make haste
while praying, even when you don't see an early response. Just keep on praying
humbly as there may be some blessing in the delay which is not necessary to be
told to(sic). Being hopeless after a few days may make Him angry because we may
think that He is not paying attention to us which is a wrong thought and dangerous
allegation too. So stay humble and keep on praying.

Earning the world while Obeying the Religion

If you make your earning in this world in accordance with the religion them it turns
into the blessing of Allah Taála, therefore earning is not condemnable but it should
not be the sole objective in this world (surpassing religion).

Curing a painful jealousy

If you get jealous by observing some blessing granted to someone which is not
granted to you, then you must think that you did not deserve many blessings of
Allah Taála which you got and he did not get. This will relieve the pain associated
with that jealousy.

Effect of the company of Saints

Al least, one gets to know his demerits (even if he does not get fully reformed) by
keeping the company of the Saints of Allah Taála.
