Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas ‘Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه in his booklet ‘The Lying Thief’ has written: ‘Abdullah Bin Salam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه went to meet his brother ‘Usman رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه who was looking very happy and said, ‘Last night I saw the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in my dream. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave me a bucket containing water. I drank plenty of water and can still feel the coolness of that water.’ ‘Abdullah Bin Salam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked, ‘How did you get this status?’ His brother answered, ‘By virtue of reciting Salāt-Alan-Nabī abundantly upon the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Do not devolve responsibility to incompetent person

Think deeply before you give someone responsibility, whether he is competent or not. To devolve responsibility deliberately to an incompetent person comes under the category of perfidiousness. Such people should have fear. The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘On the Day of Judgement a flag will be planted for every perfidious person by which he will be recognized.’ (Jam’-ul-Jawami’, vol. 9, pp. 306, Hadis 28913)

In another Hadis, the most Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘The one who has no Amanat (entrustment) has no faith; one who has no cleanliness has no Salah, and one who has no Salah has no religion because Salah has the same status in religion as the head has in the body.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 1, pp. 626, Hadis 2292)

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: To die in the path of Allah Almighty عَزَّوَجَلَّ removes all the sins except [the sin of] Amanat. (He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ then said) a man will be brought on the Day of Judgement
