Sayyiduna Salman Farsi رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہ said: The one who indulges in more talks consisting of disobedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ (for example lying, backbiting, tale-telling etc.,) will have more sins amongst people on the Day of Judgement. (Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 1, pp. 260, Raqm 641)

Sayyiduna ‘Allamah Najmuddin Ghazzi Shaafi’i رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ said: The one who has more knowledge carries out more acts of deeds and he is good practically; if it is not so then his knowledge is neither worth-noticing nor deserves attention. (Husn-ut-Tanabbuh, vol. 1, pp. 19)

3. Call to righteousness through practicing

Sayyiduna ‘Allamah Najmuddin Ghazzi Shaafi’i رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ said: Calling towards righteousness through practice has more influence than calling towards righteousness verbally. (Husn-ut-Tanabbuh, vol. 1, pp. 19)

1. Blessed routine of blessed companions

It was a blessed habit of blessed companions رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہم that when they would gather in any Majlis, they would listen to some blessed Quranic Ayahs from anybody. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 23, pp. 118)

2. Seeing face in the mirror at night

There is no prohibition in seeing face in the mirror at night, some people assume that this act causes freckles on the face but this is not proved practically as well as there is neither any evidence of it in Shar’iah nor does medical science give any proof about it. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 23, pp. 490)

3. The consequence of a bad recommendation

Recommending for any evil act for example supporting someone in committing sin is a bad recommendation. There is a warning of punishment for the one who recommends even if it (his recommendation) is not accepted. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 23, pp. 407)

4. Importance of protecting the heart

If a man is given a plate of Pulao [spicy rice] and informed that arsenic (a kind of poison) covering an area equal to one rupee [coin] is mixed in the middle of the plate so, he will apprehensively eat the rice from the edges of the plate and will become ultra-cautious while eating the rice. If only he would show such cautiousness in protecting his heart like the cautiousness he shows to protect his body. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 23, pp. 518)

This is the particularity of devotees of Rasool that when they go to Madinah, they weep thinking that they are not worthy of visiting Madinah; when they return from Madinah, they weep again thinking they are leaving Madinah. (Madani Muzakarah, 3 Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, 1438 Hijri)

2. Transitory world

Remember! The world has neither benefitted anyone nor will it and nor will it accompany anyone to the grave. (Madani Muzakarah, 1 Muharram-ul-Haraam, 1436 Hijri)
