Book Name:Ghous Pak Ki Ibadat o Riyazat

The state of Ghaus Al-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه was like this. He would spend the nights in worshipping Allah. Shaykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Abi Al-Fath Harawi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:

I spent a few nights in his رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه service. His state was such that he would spend a third of the night praying supererogatory prayer and then he would perform the remembrance of Allah and read some litanies. I witnessed with my own eyes that sometimes his body would become thin and sometimes healthy. Sometimes he would disappear from my sight and then return after some time reciting the Quran, to the extent that the second third of the night would pass. He would prostrate for a long time and rub his face against the ground. He would offer Tahajjud and then sit in meditation until sunrise. Then he would supplicate with extreme humility and humbleness. In this moment, he would be covered in light such that he would not be visible anymore, to the extent that he would leave his home for the Fajr Prayer. (Bahja-tul-Asraar, p. 165, summarised)

For the sake of the pious predecessors, we are granted with ability to perform consistent worship. Usually, we pray, recite Quran, remember Allah and send Salat upon the Prophet in abundance and perform other good actions consistently for a period of time. But then the Devil deceives us and distances us from good deeds and busies us in evil. If we want consistency in our worship, we must always remember the purpose of our life. Allah has created us and given us life for a period of time for a special reason. After that time passes, we will die. In the 18th chapter of the Quran, Surah Al-Mu’minoon, Ayah no. 115 states:
