صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! We have come to know from the aforementioned account that Ghaus-ul-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was an embodiment of piety and Taqwa and the wealth of the world was of no interest to him. It is for this reason that he refused the wealth of the caliph. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه did not become impressed with the awe of those who held a high rank and status, and nor would he flatter the people of a high post; rather, seeing them engrossed in sins, he would invite them towards righteousness, he would preach and advise them and try to reform them in every possible way. As he who desires the despicable wealth of this world would flatter the wealthy. Whereas, the friends of Allah Almighty are enriched with the precious wealth of contentment. Their sight is not set on the ephemeral riches of the wealthy, rather, they have full faith in the mercy of Allah Almighty.

Remember! To respect the rich due to their wealth is forbidden in the Shari’ah.

Two third of the religion departs

It is narrated that whoever entertains the wealthy due to his wealth, two third of his religion departs. (Kashf-ul-Khifa, vol. 2, p. 215, Raqm 2442)

O devotees of Ghaus-ul-A’zam, instead of flattering and praising the wealthy, we should invite them towards righteousness and give them the mind-set of the Hereafter. Through the will of Allah Almighty and the blessings of inviting towards righteousness, the evils of our society will start to cease. Piety will spread all around. Our society, neighbourhood and homes would become an abode of peace and unity. Sunnahs will prevail and the atmosphere of love will eradicate the breeze of hatred. Families and friends that have separated from one another will reunite. Those who are angry with one another will reconcile. Those who sin will become those who perform pious deeds. Those who miss Salah will become Salah offering individuals. Every home would resonate the sound of the recitation of the Holy Quran. Those who spread sins will become the ones that invite others towards righteousness.
