SURAH AN-NAAZIAAT: 79 (Those Who Pull Out)
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE BENEFICENT THE MOST MERCIFUL

CONTINUED...
Whereas for the one who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained his self from the (evil) desire, [40]
Paradise will be the abode. [41]

COMMENTARY: Shaikh Imam Ya'qub Karkhi RA says that in his young age he was a carpenter. He found laziness, and felt darkness in his inner self. So, he intended to keep fasts for a few days so that he may get rid of the laziness and darkness. Co-incidentally, one day, while he was fasting, he went up to Shaikh Imam Baha'uddln Naqshbandl. The Shaikh called for meals for his guests. He was also invited to partake of the meal, and the Shaikh said: "He is a very bad slave who is the slave of his base self that misleads him. It is better to partake of meal than to keep fast with evil desires of the base self." Shaikh Karkhi says that at that moment he realised that (by fasting) he was falling prey to self-complacence, self-conceit and pride, which the Shaikh Naqshbandl perceived. On that occasion, Shaikh Karkhi realised that a spiritual master's permission and guidance is needed to take up an optional act of worship, because the spiritual master is aware of the hidden tricks of the evil desires of the base self. If an optional act of worship will be accompanied by such motives, then that will put a stop to it [for remedial purposes].

He asked Shaikh Naqshbandl: "If I cannot find a Shaikh who is called in Sufi terms as {ani fillah and baqi billah, (the explanation is coming in the next paragraph.) what must I do?" He replied: "Recite istighfaar abundantly and recite istighfaar [seek Allah's pardon] twenty times regularly after every prayer, so that it works out to a hundred times reciting it five times a day." The Holy Prophet Sallallah Alyhi Wa Sallam is reported to have said: "Sometimes I feel my heart disturbed, and I recite istighfaar [seek Allah's pardon] a hundred times a day."

A THOUGHT
The excellences of teaching and learning are manifest. For if knowledge is the most excellent of things, the process of acquiring it would then be a search for the most excellent, and imparting it would be promoting the most excellent. For human interests extend to both the material and the spiritual worlds, and no order exists in the latter without existing in the former because this world is a preparation for the next, and is the instrument which leads to Allah anyone who uses it as such, a home for him who takes it as a dwelling place. The affairs of this world, however, do not become orderly except through human activities.
[IHYAA]
 
THE SMILE
Farouk and Riaz from Lenz were in Laudium when they suddenly spotted this sign on a shop window:
Suits R20--00 each
Shirts R10--00 each (Two-Tone only)
Trousers R8--00 per pair
Farouk said to his pal. "look at that! we could buy a whole load of those clothes... then when we get back we could resell them and make us a fortune!"
"Now listen, when we go into the shop you keep your big mouth shut, hey! Just you let me do all the talking plus wheeling and dealing stuff, because if they hear your Lenz accent, they might try to rip us off. I'll be giving them my best LAUDIUM accent so they think we're locals. "

They go in and Farouk says, "Excuse me sir, I'll take 50 of your finest suits at R20 each, plus 100 shirts at R10 each, and 50 pairs of your trousers at just R8 each. I will be paying in cash, and taking those items with me today, if you don't mind."

The owner of the shop interrupts, "You're from Lenz, right?"
Err....ja says Farouk, "how do you know?"

The owner says, "This is a dry-cleaner you idiot!"
