of his body. Sadr-ush-Shari’ah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘The biggest trouble is that the Salah of Zuhr has been missed.’ Haafiz-e-Millat humbly said, ‘You were unconscious; in the state of being unconscious there is no accountability for missed Salah on the Day of Judgement.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘You are talking about accountability; I remained deprived of the privilege of paying my presence on the set time in the blessed court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’

(Tazkirah Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, pp. 30)

میں پانچوں نَمازیں پڑھوں باجماعت           ہو توفیق ایسی عطا یا الٰہی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! The parable we have just heard contains a serious lesson especially for those who praise Sadr-ush-Shari’ah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه and claim to have love and devotion to him, but alas, unfortunately they do not have the Madani mind-set like him because such people instead of spending their precious days in those acts mentioned by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, they waste their time by playing cards, Ludo, flying kites, playing sports and video games or by watching video games, unnecessary chatting etc., watching films and dramas, listening to music or using their mobile phones; computers; internet or social media unnecessarily for hours.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
