The Kalima ‘La ilaaha Ilallah’ has an alchemy effect : It changes a Jahannami into a Jannati; it changes one who was hated into one who is now loved; it changes the lowest into the highest. SubhanAllah.

Weakness of Eyesight: By casting evil glances, a person's eyesight becomes weak. This is because by guarding one's gaze, one is fulfilling gratitude for the blessing of sight and the reward of gratefulness is the increase of blessings as it is mentioned in the Qur'aan Shareef: "If you are grateful then We will most definitely increase you in blessings." (Sura Ibrahim; Ayat 7, Juz 13) Casting evil glances on the other hand is ingratitude and the punishment of ingratitude is severe, as is mentioned in the Qur’aan Shareef: "And if you are ungrateful then know that My punishment is severe."

An Action of Stupidity Hazrat Hakeem ul Ummnat Thanwi said: "Every sin is a sign of stupidity and foolishness. Anyone who commits sin, then this is a sign that there is some deficiency in his intellect. He is disobeying such a Being in whose hands is our life and death, our health and sickness, peace and comfort, good and evil end. If his intellect was sound he would never commit sin. As for the one who casts evil glances, Hazrat says that he is extremely foolish. By casting glances, he attains nothing other than restlessness in his heart. By looking at a beauty, one never attains him/her, rather one gets uneasiness and the heart becomes restless when one remembers him/her. Allah Ta'ala has granted me a new aspect of knowledge. To cause inconvenience to any Muslim or to bother him in any way is HARAAM. Now that person who is casting evil glances, is he not a Muslim? Is he not causing pain to himself and making his own heart restless? Therefore, the same way it is forbidden to cause pain and harm to any Muslim, it is likewise forbidden to cause pain to one's own heart by making it restless and uneasy.

Thus, when choosing a Shaykh, consider the Shaykh who is learned, practical on his knowledge, pious, trained and experienced in the field of Islaah and Tazkiya, and acknowledged by the Ulama-e-Haq as one who is truly Sahib-eNisbat and Waliullah. It is through attaching oneself to such a Shaykh, that the Saalik will acquire value.

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel RA

The Saalik who attributes his achievements to his Mujahada and Khidmat, is in deception. All achievements are favours of Allah Ta’ala.

The Cure to Casting Evil Glances 1. When women are passing by, keep the gaze low no matter how much one has an urge to look. If your gaze accidentally falls on someone, immediately lower it no matter how difficult it is, even if there is fear of losing your life. 2. Perform a minimum of two Rakaats for every evil glance and also give some money in charity according to your means. Repent excessively. 3. Completely abstain from intermingling with the opposite sex or anyone to whom one is sexually attracted to. 4. Do not read love poems or novels. Abstain completely from cinema, television, videos, unnecessary "surfing" on the Internet and all pornography. 5. Stay away from the environment of nudity and disobedience. Do not adopt the company of those who are involved in the disobedience of Allah.

Arif Billah Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammed Akhtar Saheb RA

It is narrated on the authority of Amir al-Mu'minin (Leader of the Believers), Abu Hafs 'Umar bin al-Khattab (ra), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, Muhammed (saw), say: Actions are (judged) by intention (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated.

(Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

Taking a Qasm is not to be treated in the light hearted manner that we do, or as a joke – that any little thing or on petty and silly issues, a person utters some oath, and sometimes many, many times in a day. It becomes a mockery of the name of Allah Ta’ala.

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel RA

Allah Ta’ala has granted women, respect and honour, and He wants them to guard this. Therefore, if there is no real need to reveal her name, then it should not fly around in newspapers, magazines, faxes, over Radio stations, on car number plates, etc.

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel RA

Casting evil glances is clearly forbidden by the clear and explicit text of the Qur'aan. Allah Ta'ala says: “O Nabi Tell the believing men to lower some of their gazes." (Sura Nur ; Ayat 30, Juz 18) (Meaning, do not look at ghair mahram women and handsome boys). Therefore, he who casts evil glances is opposing the clear and explicit command of Qur'aan, and one who opposes the clear and explicit command of Qur'aan is guilty of committing a HARAAM act. Thus, to save oneself from this sin, it is sufficient to meditate upon the fact that the one who casts evil glances is opposing a commandment of the Qur’aan. In other words, he is disobeying Allah

The Shaykh is the doctor who removes the cataract from the eyes of the spiritual heart, after which the Saalik is blessed with baseerat (spiritual sight) and Ma`rifat of Allah [swt] Ta’ala. And naturally, having recognized the Beloved, the goal is achieved.

By Hazrat Maulana Abdul Hamid Ishaq DB

…This ‘Suhbat’ (companionship) of the Ahlullah is the medium of spiritual achievement.

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel RA

Ungratefulness: Casting evil glances brings about ingratitude within the heart. When a person is looking at so many faces and features then his own wife does not remain attractive to him. Hence, he becomes ungrateful thinking to himself that he did not get a good-looking wife. And if she is goodlooking, then he thinks to himself that she could have been more beautiful. That woman which appears more attractive to him than his own wife, then even if his own wife is beautiful, she is still not as attractive as the other woman. In this way, he is becoming ungrateful of Allah's favors. As for the one who guards his eyes out of Allah's fear, and does not look at other women, than even if his wife is not so beautiful, she is still attractive to him and in this manner he remains grateful to Allah for this favors.

We are told that if we suspect anything like sihr (witchcraft) or jinn, then Ayatul Kursi and the 3 Quls suffice from all harm and mischief.

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel RA

The temperament of the nafs (carnal self/ego) is like that of the dog. It also needs to be disciplined and trained, and it also requires a leash. This leash is the leash of Shariah, the love and fear of Allah Ta’ala, and fear of accountability on the Day of Judgment, tied tightly and securely around its neck.

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel RA

Prescription for Sihr / Jinn Every morning and evening read the following : 3 x Durood Shareef 3 x Ayatul Kursi 3 x 3 Surah Al-Ikhlaas, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas 11 x La Haula wala Quwata Illah Billah 3 x Durood Shareef. Blow over your body. Blow on water and drink.

…What has to be understood is that we must not become slaves of passion and fashion, nor should our dressing be a source of pride and arrogance.

Allah Ta’ala’s doors are ever-open. Allah wants us to become His. He wants to forgive us and shower His infinite Mercies and Blessings upon us, but we are not prepared to take the step of obedience, the step that will secure His Forgiveness and Pleasure.

Today, people want to give Islam a facelift; to make Islam fit into modern society. Islam does not need a facelift – Islam is ever-beautiful, ever-youthful. It is not a way of life that becomes old or out-dated. It is modern society that needs to change and conform.

SUNNATS OF MISWAAK 1. It is sunnat to use the Miswaak at the time of every Wudhu. (Abu Dawood, Vol. 1, pg 8 (at.Targheeb wat Tarheeb) 2.

Place the thumb below the head of the Miswaak. The remaining three fingers will be placed above. Shami?] Vol. 1, pg 85)

If so much of Barakah came with just lifting and carrying the physical body of Nabi (SAW), then what would we say about the Barakaat and the blessings that a person will see and experience in his own life, if he has to implement the teachings and character of Nabi (SAW)?

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel RA

On the authority of Abu Abdurahmaan Abdullah, the son of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (ra), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, Muhammed (saw) say: Islam has been built on five [pillars]: testifying that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing the Salaah (prayer), paying the Zakah (obligatory charity), making the Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House, and fasting in Ramadan.

(Sahih Bukhari and Muslim)

The Majority invite to the Fire, but the Auliya Allah invite to Paradise. The majority “go with the flow”. The Auliya Allah move against the current of fitnah.

The Auliya Allah 94 , the Mashaa`ik, are like those helicopters, except that they are searching for those persons who have been hijacked by nafs and shaytaan - people like us.

The Day the Ummah fulfills its duties, across the board – making a total change, then our suffering will be replaced with success, prosperity and happiness and people of other faiths will also accept Islam.
