indigent people in search of food, I would return empty-handed because I did not feel it appropriate to hurt their fillings. After returning I would continue my studies and sleep hungrily on the floor filled with pebbles.

(Qalaaid-ul-Jawahir, pp. 10)

دِلوایئے جنّت                          غوثِ پاک

دو بدیوں سے نفرت                   غوثِ پاک

دو شوقِ عبادت                         غوثِ پاک

سرکار کی اُلفت                         غوثِ پاک

مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک         مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک       مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک

Dear Islamic brothers! Ponder over the fact that enduring so many hardships and sufferings Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه gained Islamic knowledge. In spite of this, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه never made any complaint.

From the aforementioned parable, we also get the following valuable Madani pearls that when someone suffers from any trouble or anxiety, he should show patience keeping the virtues of patience in mind and he should keep in mind that this world is a house of trials and tribulations in which there are countless comforts and worldly pleasures along with great griefs and sorrows. Easiness and trouble go together. That’s why, since humanity came into being, general Muslims even the blessed saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی and the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام have experienced various trials and hardships along with comforts and pleasures. Even sometimes the chosen bondmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have to face more hardship than ease, but these Allah-loving people instead of making any complaint endure the trials with great patience. They even give Madani Tarbiyyat of patience and tolerance to their disciples, followers and admirers. Therefore, following in these blessed personalities’ footsteps, we should have patience when we get into trouble and be grateful to Allah Almighty for the blessings He عَزَّوَجَلَّ has bestowed upon us.

The Glorious Quran has mentioned the virtues of patience at many places. For adopting the habit of patience, let’s listen to 2 blessed sayings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and 2 blessed sayings of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:
