Hardship for Ourselves, Ease for Others 

 The Way of True Nusrah

Hardship for ourselves, ease for others.  

The door of helping Deen will remain open until the Day of Judgment, and the demand will remain on Muslims: You help. It is commanded: O you who believe, help the Deen.  

Nusrah is important. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: If there were no Hijrah, I would have been an Ansari.  

Make dua for those who help Deen, for those who do the work of Deen. This is the method taught.  

Value the work and also value those who do the work. Each will get ranks according to his deeds. What the Ansar, the helpers of Deen, will get, you will get too.  

Value those who work, praise them, and be grateful for them. Think, “What I cannot do, they are doing.” Let there be no jealousy.  

Make dua, for the one who makes dua becomes a well-wisher. Through your duas you become helpers.

Do not consider yourself great.  

Envy is born from inner pride, from considering yourself great.  

Do not consider yourself holy or pure. This is the trait of Shaitan. Shaitan had knowledge, but he was given envy, not compassion. Allah knows who is what.  

Compassion belongs to the sincere. Islam taught compassion. Wish well, be compassionate.  

Deen is the name of wishing well for others. Through compassion all became brothers.  

Opinions differ because all were lovers of their Deen, they had understanding of Deen. Like two lawyers having different opinions.  

Difference of opinion is permissible. It is proof of being wise. Opposition is a sign of being false.  

The sincere will support even if he dislikes it, because he hopes for acceptance with Allah.

Be pleased with Allah in every condition.  

Forgive others, forgive yourself, you will always remain happy. In whatever condition Allah has kept you, remain pleased with Allah in that condition. Otherwise you will spend your whole life blaming yourself.  

The greatness we have given to an inspector, to an SP, did we ever give that to Allah?  

Allah is your home. The believer who purifies his heart, that heart is the house of Allah.  

The account of tears is with the Lord. Jibrail, peace be upon him, said: We do not keep account of tears. Even one drop of a tear is enough to extinguish the fire of Hell. For those who shed streams of tears, where would we keep their account?

Tarbiyah requires time, that is why there is a system for time. Whoever gives time for Allah, Allah will fill his heart with the light of wisdom.  

By Tabligh we do not mean forming groups, joining, gatherings, etc. Rather, it means changing qualities and convictions in the Ummah.  

There are three wickets: Tawheed, Risalah, and Akhirah.  

Shaitan is bowling. We must protect Tawheed, Risalah, and Akhirah with Iman.  

Guidance is in Allah’s control. Who knows whom Allah will give it to. So strive for everyone. God forbid, if it is not in the destiny of our children, it may be in the destiny of the neighbor. If he does not get it, at least the other may get it.  

If we waited for our family’s guidance, then Nuh, peace be upon him, could not have done Tabligh. His son and wife did not become Muslim.  

Fixing someone is not our responsibility. Yes, the effort to fix is our responsibility.  

When obligations are being erased, Tabligh becomes obligatory. In Multan, standing in a crowded city, one brother asked 21 people: Brother, what is the name of our Prophet? 19 said we do not know, only 2 answered. When conditions are like this, our sitting at home is a great oppression. There is no pardon for this.

Walk with the intention of your own reform.  

Move with consultation. Avoid personal opinion, self-will, your own inclination. Avoid taunts, avoid objections. Taunts break the Ummah.  

Keep your hearts alive. Let the heart be attached to the Quran, attached to the work of Deen, attached to solitude.  

There is no boycott in Islam, there is love. Love even more the one who breaks principles. If someone has a shortcoming, encourage him.  

Saying “He defames Tabligh, don’t talk to him” — this is wrong speech. Treat him even better so his heart keeps connecting. Love creates connection. Children are encouraged even for crooked lines. In Tabligh we are all children.
