صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers, you heard how the caliph of the Muslims, Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ would go and perform the chores of that elderly woman despite being the caliph of the time! We also learn that he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ completely disliked that anyone should become aware of his deed and in return praise him for it. This was why he would go discreetly in the darkness of the night and carry out the household tasks of that blind elderly woman.

Countless salutations on the passion of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ to hide his good deeds. His humility and modesty in this account is matchless. There is also a beautiful glimpse in this account of how he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was a well-wisher of the Ummah of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The example of his love for the poor people is also exceptional in this account and what great passion he possessed in his heart to take precedence in good deeds!

If only we can gain a portion of all these distinct characteristics of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ.

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

O devotees of the Prophet! There are many people in the society who adopt certain ways by which they can become famous, whereas the men of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ do not like fame, rather they strive to conceal their acts of worship and good deeds.

I do not desire to live after attaining fame

Sayyiduna ‘Allamah Yaafi’i رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه narrates: A pious predecessor رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would make the Du’a: ‘O Allah Almighty! Bless me abundantly with Your
