28. Shaytan, The Deceitful Trader

You all believe in Moulânâ Thânwi (Rahimahullâh). He says that if a businessman shows you a sample, and gives you an item which differs from the sample, you will call the businessman a cheat and a deceitful person. You will never buy anything from him again. Shaytân always deceives. He shows you the cheeks and eyes of attractive people. What sample he shows you and what item he gives. He pollutes you in the organs of faeces and urine. But you still have not left Iblees' tail. People say what must we do, there is nudity everywhere. Uncovered women do not give us a chance. I say why have you placed your nose under Shaytân's tail. Safeguard your gaze. Practise on the blessed statement of Rasûlullâh Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. You will achieve piece. Allâh will fill your heart with the sweetness of Imân and His love for every glance that you protect. Friends, do not waste your lives. I am telling you with a painful heart and what more can I tell you? As Hadhrat Thânwi (Rahimahullâh) said that if he had the power, he would have placed his heart in his friends' hearts.

Allâh has indicated two prescriptions of obtaining taqwâ (piety) in these two verses. In the light of these verses I have showed you two ways of becoming a saint and becoming wealthy with the currency of the hereafter. When the entire world will kick you, only this currency will benefit you. What is this currency? It is the friendship of Allâh. In order to attain taqwâ, Allâh has indicated in one verse that we should live with the people of taqwâ. If you do not live with the people of taqwâ, you will be consumed by negligence.
