Siddiqui al-Qadiri Ridawi al-Madani (Alayhir Rahmah)
· Always be steadfast on
the sacred Shari’ah. The greater one is obedient to the Shari'ah the higher one
attains status in Tariqah.
· Do work for the
Religion for the sake of the Religion and do not do it for name and fame.
· Engage in feeding food
even though it is basic Dhaal and rice. There is great virtues and Barakaat in
feeding.
· Become a Veiler
[Sat’taar – one who hides the faults of others]. Hide the
faults of the Muslim, may they be religious or worldly.
· Duniya is an evil
thing. He who is tangled with it keeps on sinking into it. He who runs away
from it , it remains at ones feet.
· Salah and Fasts are
from the essentials, but real religion is rectifying ones transactions.
· Here [in Madina
al-Munawwarah] the wise and elders say; ‘Constant performance of Salaah becomes
a habit, by keeping Fasts, the cost of one meal is saved and religion is the
name of rectification of dealings.
· First Salaam , second
feed food and third talk. When someone visits you, first greet him then feed
him and lastly ask him the reason of his visit.
· The Murshid who is
dependent on the Murid, in my view, is not a Murshid.
· To become a Murshid is
very difficult and to be a son of a Murshid is very simple. Allah SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala save us from becoming Sahibzadahs.
· In obedience there is
virtue and in innovation [Bid’ah] there is destruction. Be a follower and you
will attain salvation.
· In secrecy is
salvation and fame breeds discord.
· Allah SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala has given the cursed devil great powers. It is only Allah’s (SubHanuhu
wa Ta'ala) Mercy that can protect one from the evil of the devil.
· The Spiritual Silsilah
is only one that is the Qadiriyyah. The rest are its tributaries.
· There is no harm in
eating the bread of a miser. But one must abstain from eating anything from a
Man’nan . May Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala protect us from the favours of a
Man’nan.
· There is no goodness
in the sand of Najd, it has nothing but pure evil.
· Do not give anyone a
loan more than your financial capacity and don’t reveal the loan to anyone nor
demand its repayment. If the creditor returns the loan regard it as a fresh
sustenance from Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
· Doing good deeds is a
Toufeeq from Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and a sign of acceptance. Guidance is
certainly from Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala but a servant has to make efforts in
doing good deeds.
· A fortunate person is
he whose letter is read in the sacred city of Madina al-Munawwarah or he is
discussed with goodness there or his name is mentioned there.
· Continue extolling the
sacred name of ‘Ya Ghawth Ya Ghawth’. There are blessings of this sacred name
in both the worlds.
· Never recite the Darud
Sharif with the intention of Ziyaarah. The beloved Habib SallAllaho Alaihi wa
Aalihi wa Sallam is not restricted to any human. If He (SallAllaho Alaihi wa
Sallam) blesses anyone then it is His favour.
· No greed, no rejection
and no hoarding are virtue.
· Wafa is either you
bury your companion or he buries you in the ground.
· Safeguard yourself
from severe cold as it takes its grudge in old age.
· Wealth is madness and
seek Allah’s (SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala) protection from it as it take a long time to
regain consciousness from it.
· Fulfilling lust is a
deadly companion and an evil habit. It is a lethal enemy.
· Pride and boastfulness
destroys the intellect.
· Avoid relationship
with your opposite specie.
· Don’t ask Allah
SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala for abundance, If you have reliance then there is great
abundance of Barkat in little sustenance.
· Knowledge is achieved
by seeking it; sitting in the company of the knowledgeable and also by Divine
Inspiration.
· Your Murshid is he on
whose hands you have initially taken Bay’ah. Regarding Faydh , take it wherever
you find it.
· Always keep far from
dissention and disunity.
· Goodness is in being
kind to the creation of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
· One must give charity
according to the ones means and ability.
· Never behave with
severity and harshness as there is no goodness in it.
· If anyone sits in
Madina al-Munawwarah with justice and patience, then sustenance comes to him
from all directions.
· If anyone is caught in
the net of a Najdi , he sinks to the depths of the ocean . If he is saved from
this then regard it as a gift of a new life.
· A poor man is a
blessing and not a burden.
· To educate an evil and
incompetent person is to put the Ummah in discord.
· Exercising patience in
hardship and misfortune is the key to success.
· Accept the excuse or
apology of your enemy.
· Do not regard your
enemy weak and sickness as insignificant.
· Spiritual culture is
not to hurt the feelings of anyone.
· Four things are
disastrous to a human;
1) To eat food when not hungry.

the wrath of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.

goodwill of creation with good conduct has brightened his face.

supposition lives a peaceful life.
· An intelligent person
never leaves four things; patience, thankfulness, peace and solitude.
