207. Imam Muhammad Ghazali RH made a plea in the court of Allah, “O Allah, has any deed of
this servant been accepted in Your court?” The answer came, “Yes, that day the fajr prayers,
which you offered behind my servant have been accepted.”
208. Imam Azam RH presented invocations in the court of Allah, “O Allah, has any deed of this
servant been accepted in Your court?” The answer came, “When the king had come to meet
you, you had delayed meeting him because you were writing something and a fly was sitting
on the pen. You waited so that the fly consumed its share. That deed of yours is accepted in
My court.”
209. An Auliya-Allah (Saint of Allah) passed away. Another Auliya-Allah saw him in a dream and
asked him what Allah had done with him. He replied, “When I went to the presence of Allah,
the command came, ‘We have granted you salvation because of the single deed — you never
mixed truth with falsehood.’”
210. Someone told Bibi Rabiya RH , “Lot of difficulties pass over you. Ask for something from your
supporters.” Bibi Rabiya RH said, “There is no need.” He then said, “Ask for something from
Allah.” Bibi RH said, “I have made a covenant with Allah that I will never seek anything of
this world from Him.”
211. Khwaja Junaid RH said, “One who takes to the path of Allah should take two crescents in his
hands. The Book of Allah in his right hand and Hadees of the Prophet SLM in his left hand so
that he doesn’t fall into the darkness of innovation and doubt and attains (proximity to) Allah.
If he leaves these two, he will fall into the darkness of innovation and doubt and will never
reach his destination.”
212. An Auliya-Allah (saint of Allah) said that he differentiates between a person who eats the
permissible (Halal Khor) and a person who eats the impermissible (Haram Khor). The
companions asked how he would know. He replied, “One who is in the remembrance of
Allah day and night would consume permissible food and one who is not, would consume
impermissible food. That’s because only he who eats permissible food dies in the
remembrance of Allah and one who eats the impermissible dies being neglectful of Allah. He
is rejected (Mardood).”
213. A seeker of Allah came out of his room (hujra) after three faqas (periods of hunger) to ask
for food. A dog started following him. The seeker of Allah told the dog that he would give it
half of whatever he would get. Somebody gave him a piece of bread, half of which he gave to
the dog. Allah gave the dog the power of speech. The dog said, “How can I consume bread
given by a person without courage?” The seeker of Allah asked, “(Are you accusing that) I
have no courage?” The dog said, “Yes, because even after seven faqas I did not leave the
doorstep of the created (Makhlooq). Whereas, just after three faqas you left the doorstep of
the Creator (Khaliq)”
214. Somebody told an Auliya-Allah (saint of Allah), “I worship a lot but I do not see anything.”
The reply came, “You have got Allah. Be alert and do not let the practice (amal) slip away.
Then you will get an opening (kashaish).”
