His grace Daata Ganj Bakhsh, Sayyiduna ‘Ali Bin ‘Usman Hajwayri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: A quality of the Nafs (desires) is that it gets pleasure from his companions. The Nafs develops the qualities and habits of the people it keeps company with. Even a falcon gets trained in the company of a falconer. When trained by a human, a parrot starts speaking. A wild horse can be tamed. These examples show how effective one’s company is and how it changes one’s habits. This applies to all kinds of companionships.

(Kashf-ul-Mahjoob – Persian, pp. 375)

It became obvious that the company we keep plays a vital role in making a person pious or wicked. A good environment is essential for good company. Joining a good environment rectifies one’s inner self as well as the outer self. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami is a great favour of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ at the present time. You should also join the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. By its blessings, high hopes will be removed. Divine fear will grow. Love for the world and wealth will be removed from the heart. The feeling of sacrifice will be created in the heart, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
