Most of the chronicles show that Hazrat Salama was only 13 years old at that time. A 13-year-old boy chased away a group of horsemen in such a way that he lost his senses and left behind what he had looted. Leave your wealth and run away, it was the blessing of this sincerity, which was not granted by Allah Almighty" The Master opened his eyes and sat up straight. His eyes were red.
Hyder Dum was looking at Bakhurd Master.
He was your age Haider" said the master looking at Haider and smiling.
"Do you have so much courage, you will be able to see so much courage"
When the master asked, Haider shook his head in the negative.
"Now let us come to the reasons why they had these qualities. Indeed, their strong faith was the main and very important reason, but there were other reasons because of which they had these qualities. Therefore, you cannot find what the Companions had in the presence of the Holy Prophet, but for the other reasons that they had these qualities, you can definitely adopt them and at the same time work hard on your faith. If you can do these two things, then you You can also follow in the footsteps of Salma bin Akwa." The master paused a little after reaching here and then said, "Now let's talk about the reasons due to which he had these qualities."
Hyder leaned forward in his chair and stared intently at the Master's face.
****************
It had been a month for Umar, following Baba's instructions, he left all his work and went to Baba because he did not know what was going on. I don't know where they used to go. Baba never told me anything about it. Once or twice when Omar asked, he avoided it. On reaching the mosque, Umar performed ablution and went to the baba sitting in a corner in front and sat down.
"Assalam wa Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barkatah" Umar greeted.
"Walalaikum Salam wa Rahmatullah wa Barkatah" Baba replied and looked at Umar and started smiling with surprise.
"Aw miyan kya hali chaal hai" baba inquired hali
"Alhamdulillah, Baba, thanks be to this holy person," Umar replied.
"Tell me how this month went," Baba said with a smile
"Very good, even better than my hope. Under your guidance, the whole month of protecting the eyes as much as possible. In the beginning, it was very difficult, but then, by the grace of Allah, it became a habit to walk with lowered eyes and talk to others," Umar said. Answered politely.
"And what was the result, did you get anything in exchange for it?" Baba asked, looking at Umar carefully.
"Yes, Baba, I have received a very good reward. Earlier, I did not get up even if I was forced to wake up at dawn, now I am getting the opportunity to read Tahjud and my heart is automatically attracted towards every good thing," Umar said in a calm tone.
"And what is the status of these prayers" Baba inquired.
"What do you mean baba ji" Umar replied in surprise.
"Have thoughts of the world stopped coming in the prayers" said Baba
"Baba ji, how can they end, they keep coming and coming a lot" Umar was more surprised.
"Not even finished but they can be managed and minimized. Looks like you haven't done your homework" Baba said softly.
"What is the reason that if a person watches movies, listens to songs, dances and sings, then he does not sleep at all all night, but when he starts worshiping, he starts to sleep after a while. Worshiping all night is a distant thing" Baba's question made Umar think that Baba's words are really 100% correct, why does he start to sleep whenever he starts worshiping.
The sage answered himself and said the same question was asked by a young man to an old man, and the old man replied that when a person is in the company of sins, the soul is on thorns and how will the soul sleep on the thorns. In the same way, worship is a bed of flowers for the soul, on which one falls asleep, son! The soul is not reckoned with the body, so that if it is hurt, there will be pain."
Baba was silent for a while and then asked, "Why did you protect your eyes from inanimate objects?"
******************
"Baba, I don't understand what is the meaning of protecting eyes from inanimate objects," Umar said simply.
Baba ji leaned against the wall and looked at Umar and said, "I didn't know either, but I had the honor of meeting a godly person. I was traveling with him. He was sitting in the car with his eyes lowered. It was a long journey, but he His eyes did not even once rise and crossed the glasses, all the way he sat like that in a mosque some scholars had called him to receive Faiz.
I was a bit surprised so I asked him when we reached the floor why you kept looking down all the way"
Baba left this matter in the middle and said, "Son, note down every action of those who belong to Allah, because there is a reason behind every action of them. He was surprised and said that there are many signboards on the road, there are pictures on them, some of them are vulgar and semi-nude, so I don't look outside.
Baba became silent, but Umar looked at Baba with the intensity of surprise and then said, "It means to protect the eyes from inanimate objects, there are signboards, etc."
"Not only signboards, it means anything like TV, mobile, Facebook, magazines, anything where you see the opposite sex, so the picture is not forbidden in Islam, it is even said. The angels of mercy do not come to the house where there is a picture," Baba said seriously.
"But father, how is this possible? In today's era, it is impossible. What era are you talking about? If I say these things in front of someone, I will become a joke and be called a stereotype." Umar did not understand. How should he explain his point to Baba?
"In today's university, college, how far can a person avoid these things, father," Umar said, shaking his head in the negative.
"And how many university students are there these days who want to become saints and strive to become one?" Baba asked this question and Omar fell silent.
"Son, you came to me. I said that I will help as much as I can, so I am just doing my duty," said Baba and became silent.
Umar thought that what Baba was saying was very difficult, but Umar thought that if it was so easy, everyone would be a saint today.
"But Baba, no matter how hard a person tries, the gaze is lost," Umar asked, then Baba smiled and said, "It is about the intention. A person should try to act by making an intention, but even if the gaze is lost, immediately." Bend over. This also falls under the same heading."
"Is it beneficial for both women and men, women stay at home most of the time?" Umar asked another thing.
"A woman needs to be more careful not to look at herself or to give someone the opportunity to look at her. Yes, it will benefit both men and women. It will be a benefit that cannot be found in any book from any university. One will get the taste which has never been tasted before," said the sage slowly.
"Baba, if this is done, which is very difficult, what will be the benefit in return" Umar asked curiously.
"Sweetness will be found, the sweetness of faith will be found" Baba said as if it was something very great and rare.
"And Baba, what is the meaning of Halawat" Umar did not understand.
"Many people pray, either out of compulsion, or as a duty, or as a prayer to get rid of a problem, to find paradise, or as a habit to avoid hell. But there are only a few people who pray with the sweetness of faith. The Companions were given sweetness by Allah, which I believe is one of the best gifts of Allah, which is given to very few people. Milli Hai" Baba was trying to tell the secrets that Umar had never heard.
"Baba, I still don't understand what this sweetness is," Umar said helplessly.
"I explain" Baba said while sitting straight as if he was about to reveal the location of a huge treasure. Umar thought in his heart if he had a hundred ears and such a memory that he could listen to each syllable of Baba and save it. would take
