HONOUR THE BAY’T
Many Mureedeen appear to have plunged into a quandary on account of the demise of Hadhrat Masihullah (Rahmatullahi alayh). Emotionalism should not be permitted to cloud clear thinking.
Those who had failed to adhere practically to the teachings of the Shaikh during his lifetime, should start afresh and carry on with the work of Islaah. They should concern themselves with their own reformation.
Time should not be squandered in the organization of functions to sing the praises of the departed Shaikh. This is not among the instructions and Ta’leemaat of Hadhrat Masihullah or of any of the Akaabireen of our Silsilah. Our seniors believe in practical work and reaching the Maqsad (Goal).
O Mureed! You had entered into an Allegiance with Hadhrat Masihullah. The terms of the Allegiance are to uphold the Shariah, cleanse yourself of the beastly attributes, adorn yourself with the angelic qualities and pursue the Path of Thikrullah so that you attain Qurb-e-Ilaahi.
This Maqsood cannot be attained by diversionary acts and profession of devotion and aqeedat. The Goal is attainable only by giving practical expression to the Ta’leemaat and Naseehat of Hadhrat Masihullah.
As an introductory measure, you were instructed by Hadhrat Masihullah to adhere to certain forms of Thikr with constancy. How constant are you in upholding this first requirement of the Bay’t?
You have no valid excuse for negligence in this regard. Whatever excuse you tender to justify your neglect of Thikr, is baseless and an act of self-deception.
The Qur’aan Majeed says:
“In reality, man has insight over his nafs even though he puts forth excuses.”
(AL-HAQ 1413)
