A grain of wheat

Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has quoted the following parable on page 13 of his booklet ‘Catastrophic Consequences of Cruelty’: It is narrated that someone dreamt of a deceased person and asked: ‘مَا فَعَلَ اللّٰهُ بِكَ؟’ i.e. how did Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ deal with you? He replied, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has forgiven me, my accountability was taken, even for that day when I was sitting at a friend’s shop whilst I was fasting. At the time of breaking my fast, I picked up a grain of wheat from the sack and broke it and was about to eat it when I realized that the grain was not mine, therefore, I put it back. Therefore, I was held accountable just for picking and breaking that single grain, and my good deeds were reduced according to the damage of breaking that grain of wheat.’

(Mirqat-ul-Mafatih, vol. 8, pp. 811, Taht-al-Hadees 5083)

Dear Islamic brothers! Ponder over the above-mentioned narration that if picking and breaking merely a single little grain of wheat that belongs to someone else brings about this great loss after his death, that he had to give his good deeds to that person, then the violation of the fundamental rights of any Muslim and showing carelessness towards them might be a cause of great loss for us. Regretfully, in our society, the rights of one another are severely violated and trampled on.

700 congregational Salahs in return of 3 Paisas

Expressing deep concern about the miserable situation of our society, Shaykh-e-Tareeqat Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has stated: Now things have gone way beyond just breaking a grain of wheat. Nowadays people eat their fill without being invited, even though it is impermissible to sneak into another person’s private function. It is stated in a blessed Hadees of Abu Dawood: Whoever goes without an invitation, enters as an intruder and leaves as a thief. (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 379, Hadees 3741)
