Undoubtedly, when a bondman commits a sin, he gets deprived of night worship due to its ominousness. (Saying of Sayyiduna Hasan Basri رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْه) (Husn-ut-Tanbih, vol. 2, pp. 332)

A’la Hadrat’s pearls of wisdom

Blessed names of Allah Almighty

It is impossible to count the blessed names of Allah Almighty as His Glory is unlimited. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 28, pp. 365)

Allah Almighty praises Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم 

The Ayahs of the Holy Quran are enriched with the Na’t [praise], Zikr [remembrance], respect and honour of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 15, pp. 210)

Destructiveness of opium

A person falls into this disgusting habit (i.e. of taking opium) within a few days and then it becomes very difficult for him to get out of it. It increases gradually to the extent that he, in a short period of time, becomes totally addicted to opium وَالْعِیَاذُبِااللّٰہ. Doctors have written: Taking it causes holes in the inner skin of the stomach which do not heal by anything except this [opium], therefore a person has to get into the habit of taking opium. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 25, pp. 78)
