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."

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.
