Naqliyat-e-Miyan Syed Alam RH (English) - Khalifatullah Mehdi

intoxicated state was revealed. The command came ‘…do not go near prayer when you are
intoxicated…’ 11 . The companions and other people deduced that this was the proof of wine
being absolutely prohibited, as prayers are compulsory for five times every day and the effect
of wine lasts for a long time. If one drinks after the Isha prayers, what will his state be at the
time of the Fajr prayer? If one were to drink at the time of chasht (around 1000 am), what
would happen to the Zuhr prayers? With this fear, some people gave up wine altogether.
After this the verse on wine being absolutely prohibited and certainly filthy was revealed.
This tradition is taken from the sayings (Malfooz) of a saint.
26. Hazrat Mahdi AS said if a person performs a deed and there is no benefit from that deed then
that deed is wasted. There is no benefit from it either here or in the Hereafter.
27. Somebody asked Hazrat Mahdi AS whether unity was better or duality. Hazrat Mahdi AS said
that duality was better because if duality did not exist, how could anyone recognise the
importance of unity?
28. Bandagi Miyan Shah Nemat RZ said that a seeker of Allah desires that there is no separation
even for a second. But the welfare of the seeker is only when sometimes there is separation
(firaq) and sometimes there is meeting (visal).
29. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “People see the new moon and become happy. Why do they not regret
that life has been wasted and death has come nearer? Why don’t they ask for forgiveness
from their sins? Why don’t they repent? One should be alert about what might happen in the
hereafter.”
30. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “If a person stays in the daira for one hundred years and then goes out
of the daira for a day in the desire of the world and dies there, then he is an infidel (kafir).
And if a person was in the desire of the world for one hundred years and at the last moment,
forsakes the world, leaves his worldly house, starts towards the daira and dies on the way, he
is a believer (Momin).”
31. Hazrat Mahdi AS said that when a person commits a sin, belief (iman) goes far away from
him. When he repents (tauba), belief returns to him. This is so because there are two iman
(beliefs). One is the light (nur) of Rasool SLM , which, by nature, is present in the person since
birth and does not go away. The second iman (belief) is the light (nur) of guidance of the
Quran and the Murshid. This light goes away. When both the lights (nur) are present, one
can walk on the (right) path. This is like the light of the eye working in presence of the sun. If
the sun is present and one doesn’t have eyes what will he see? If one has eyes and the sun is
also present, then he can walk on the path.
32. Some migrants RZ told Hazrat Mahdi AS that their wives and children were troubling them
much and if Mahdi AS permitted, they would separate them. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “Hold their
hands and take them to paradise with you. Don’t separate them from yourselves. Allah will
give you lot of rewards through them. Be patient that is the great thing.”
