26. The Bomb Disposal Squad Of Pride

The disease of pride is so dangerous that it will deprive one of the scent of jannah. Even though one would have performed hajj, umrah, tahajjud and ishraq, then too one would not smell jannah. This is the statement of Rasulullah. When this bomb is so dangerous, why then don’t you meet with the bomb disposal squad. Who are they? They are the Ahlullah, the friends of Allah. Ask them whether you have pride. If you live with them, they will indicate this to you, Insha-Allah. Hadhrat Hakimul Ummat states that when a person places his foot in the khanqah, he comes to know of all his internal illnesses. It is as if he takes an x-ray of the person. He comes to know whether the person has pride in him or whether his eyes are full of lust. He knows whether the person glances at attractive faces. At the very first glance he comes to know all this. Allah grants this ability to those who are given the responsibility of reforming people. Salvation from Pride

Therefore refrain from two things. Firstly, do not regard yourself as great. Regard yourself lower than all the Muslims of the world. In this way you would have saved yourself from ‘ghamtun-nas’ - regarding people as inferior. Sometimes as a means of precaution, utter this verbally. "I regard myself lower than the Muslims now and lower than the disbelievers and animals in future." If you continue uttering this statement verbally, you will not regard others as inferior. And secondly, always accept the truth. When you come to know that a certain fact is true, accept it immediately. You will be cured of pride because you have been freed of the two major ingredients of pride. The one who accepts the truth and does not regard himself as superior is free of pride.
