was there, started weeping and said: I used to say people to come to the Masjid to offer Salah regularly, but nobody listened to me. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, today by virtue of the blessing of devotees of Rasool, people have started to come to this Masjid to offer Salah.

نہ نیکی کی دعوت میں سُستی ہو مجھ سے

بنا            شائقِ         قافِلہ      یا      الٰہی

صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Gold Brick

It is narrated: A pious person once found a gold brick. Out of the love of wealth, he spent his entire night in making different plans, thinking of delicious foods, fine clothing, having a number of servants to serve him. In short, due to becoming rich he was lost in the fantasy of comforts and luxuries and became totally heedless of his Lord that night. The next morning driven by the same desire he left home. By chance, he passed by a grave yard. What he saw was that a man was kneading clay on a grave for making bricks. Seeing this scene immediately he woke up to the fact and started weeping by imagining, ‘Perhaps people will make bricks from the earth of my grave as well after my death. Alas! My splendid houses and fine clothes etc., will become useless. So falling in love with gold brick means to spend life heedlessly! If I have to fall in love, I have to fall in love with my Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ He left the gold brick and adopted contentment. (Booklet Ghaflat, pp. 1)

گو پیشِ نظر قبر کا پُرھول گڑھا ہے

افسوس! مگر پھر بھی یہ غفلت نہیں جاتی

صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
