to be consistent with our Salahs, and as well as Fard Salah, if only we also offer the Nafl Salah too.
Keep in mind that Sayyiduna Ghaus ul-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would offer one thousand Nafl daily.
Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has mentioned this narration in his booklet ‘Snake resembling Jinn’: Sayyiduna Ghaus ul-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states, ‘Once, I was occupied in offering Salah in ‘Jami’ Mansoor’ and suddenly a snake approached me. The snake placed its head on the spot of my Sajdah and opened its mouth. I moved it out of the way and performed my Sajdah, but it wrapped itself around my neck. Then, it went in from one of my sleeves and came out of the other one. When I performed Salam to end my Salah, the snake had disappeared.
The next day, upon entering the same Masjid again, I saw a man with big eyes. Looking at him, I had realised that he is not a human, rather, he is a Jinn. The Jinn said to me: ‘I am the same snake that was disturbing you. I have tested many saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـه by appearing in the form of a snake, but I did not find anyone as steadfast as you’. Then that Jinn repented on the hands of Sayyiduna Ghaus ul-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه. (Bahjat-ul-Asraar, p. 169, summarised)
May Allah Almighty make us a true follower of Sayyiduna Ghaus-ul-A’zamرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and give us the ability to follow his blessed Seerah.
اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic Brothers, we are listening about the month of Rabi’-ul-Aakhir. Sayyiduna Shah Kaleemullah Shahjahan Aabadi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: ‘Whoever fasts on the 6th, 12th, 20th and 26th of this month will be rewarded immensely.’ (Muraqqa’-e-Kaleemi, p. 198) Therefore, in order to attain heaps of reward, we should increase our Nafl fasts in this month.
