4. I will listen to the speech to reform and better myself.

5. Whatever I hear and learn, I will try to convey to others.

Can a Disease Itself Become a Remedy?

It is recorded in ꜤUyūn al-Ḥikāyāt (Volume 1, Page 367) that the renowned spiritual luminary of the Qādiriyyah Riḍawiyyah order, Sayyidunā Abū al-Qasim Junayd al-Baghdadi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, related:

One night, I experienced profound restlessness. I occupied myself in the worship of Allah Almighty, yet I could not find tranquillity. I exerted every effort to achieve focus, full attention, and humility (KhushūꜤ and Khuḍū) in my devotions, but I was unsuccessful. I then commenced the recitation of the noble Quran, yet focus and inner peace remained elusive. I was bewildered as to why I was unable to attain concentration and why my peace of mind had departed.

Eventually, during the final portion of the night, I placed my shawl over my shoulders and stepped outside. After walking a short distance, I encountered a man wrapped in a cloth.

Upon my approach, he raised his head and enquired, “Why are you so anxious? Has the Day of Resurrection been established?”

I asked, “Has the appointed Day of Resurrection arrived?”

He replied, “No. Rather, I am asking whether you have emerged in search of inner peace due to the agitation and restlessness of your heart?”
