the transmission of durood during this Jumuah surpasses them all by an overwhelming margin.

UnwaveringZikr
Constancy in zikr even without pleasure results in a closeness with Allah and the heart being wholesome.
Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanvi
The Oppressive Car Manufacturers?
Generally, a car has 5 seats, 2 at the front and 3 at the back. The purpose of the car is to transport us from A to B. The journey is not the main goal, but the destination is. The car is built in a manner that best fulfills its purporse.
Now, what if someone said that car manufacturers are oppressive, unfair and do not treat customers equally because the people sitting at the front have a better view and more leg room than the people at the back? Would they be correct to make this statement? This would only be correct if the journey was given preference over the destination. Meaning that regardless if we reach the destination or not, the journey should be the best possible journey.
Similarly, the purpose of Islam and its laws is to transport us and guide us through this life so that we reach Jannah. The journey is not the purpose but the destination is.
Just like the car, when the destination is the goal, then the best way to travel there is given preference. The best way to reach Jannah is by being obedient to Allah Ta’ala through doing good and abstaining from sins.
The best way to do that is by establishing laws that fulfill this purpose, regardless if on face value, they may look unfair or unequal.
Just as we don’t see car manufacturers as oppressors for fulfilling their purpose, how can we think of Islam as being oppressive when it is fulfilling its purpose in the best possible manner?

Abundant Istighfaar
“Istighfaar in abundance removes difficulties and brings barakah in earnings.”
(Hakimul Ummat Maulana Thanvi)
Pushed to Pray
Justify the words
“Whenever you wish to say or write something, think to yourself that I need to present these words in court. If you are able to justify the words, then say them – otherwise, remain silent.”
Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani
Value Ilm
There are two ways of recognizing how to value and appreciate ilm,
(1) Become a seeker of knowledge (taalibe ilm).
(2) Do not restrict this knowledge to knowing only.
Mufti Mohammed Shafi (r.a.)
Pleasing Allah – Recite Qur’an
“The author of a book would be pleased to see you reading it and would pay attention to you. The Glorious Qur’an is the book of Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ, He turns towards the one who recites it and becomes pleased with him.”
Hazrat Maulāna Ashraf ʿAlī Thānwī رحمه الله
Balance in Love & Hate
Sayyiduna Umar (RA)
“Do not let your love be obsessive and do not let your hatred be destructive; When you love, do not go to a level of obsession as a child does with the things he loves, and when you hate, do not hate in such way that you want your opponent to be destroyed.
Allah’s Love & Mercy
Allah still loves and shows mercy to those who disobey Him, so imagine how much He loves those who obey Him.
