Unity in Character
Every person has a different mentality. Keep this in mind when you talk to people. We must learn how to talk to people according to their level of understanding and social status especially when preaching. This is our main aim. Because we live for a cause to spread our message and help people achieve greatness. We find such examples in the lives of Sufi saints where they set aside their self-respect and disregarded their pains and woes, only to bring joy to other people. I have seen such instances with my own eyes. Such personalities remain in people’s hearts forever. Once I and Saeen Muhammad Ali (RA) went to see Saeen Ahmed Ali Qureshi (RA) on his deathbed. Even in that condition, his face lightened up upon seeing us. We were astonished to see that disregarding his own pain he was more concerned about us and had ordered friends around him to serve us refreshments. At that time, he also ordered Saeen Muhammad Ali (RA) to spread the message of Durood Pak across the globe. His words had such a deep influence on Saeen Muhammad Ali (RA) that he did not take a single day’s break in his duties not even during severe illness. Friends! learn to tolerate each other (you are not indispensable). Awliya Allah have no shortage of servants if one goes the other takes their place. They know how to get Allah’s work done. May Allah (SWT) keep us all happy.
Friends! We often hear such and such a person gets so much respect in the society and wonder why we don’t? Why do we not Analyse our own behavior? what it is and what it should be? If we contemplate just a little start respecting others and devote our lives to helping others for the pleasure of Allah, we will then surely find happiness as well as respectability entering our lives. This is how our character should be to learn the art of preaching others to recite Durood Sharif and change their lives for the sake of Allah to bring these astray people back to their lost path (towards Allah) and to make them understand that this is where destiny changes. Let us also change our destiny. The purpose of reciting Durood-e-Sharif is nothing but to adopt the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH) whole heatedly. If you want to get close to the Holy Prophet (SAW), Durood Sharif is the route. May Allah keep us all happy, Ameen.
