Shaitan kay baaz hathyar | Some attacks of Satan
Riḍwān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم (the angel of Paradise). These very people are the shining examples of Ĥidāyaĥ [guidance] and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has revealed all the dark evils to them. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make them enter (Paradise) with His mercy. They neither desire fame nor do they oppress (anyone); and nor do they indulge in ostentation.’ (Allah Wālon kī Bātayn, vol. 1, pp. 162 – Ḥilya-tul-Auliyā, vol. 1, pp. 118)
Desire for respect in return for religious services
My dear Madanī son! It is not appropriate at all for a person to have such a mentality that he be appreciated, encouraged and given certain privileges in return for his religious services (or for any Madanī work of Dawat-e-Islami he has performed conforming to Sharī’aĥ. In fact, the desire for encouragement seems to be a demand for praise because a person is usually praised when encouraged). Similarly, when afflicted with some trouble, such a person expects that a large number of people including the VIPs should offer sympathies and reassurances to him (because he has rendered great religious services!)
Remember! Rendering religious services is a great act of worship and demanding something of a person in exchange for worship is not allowed. One who considers his religious services important with his Nafs demanding praise or fame etc. on this ground should go through the definition of ostentation. It is stated on page 66 of the book ‘Call to Righteousness’ published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: ‘To perform worship with any other intention
