29. The Second Prescription

When a train travels to Quetta, two engines are attached to it. One engine cannot manage on inclines. One engine is attached to the rear as well. Allâh has made the fast of Ramadhân obligatory in order to attain piety. One engine is that of the Ahlullâh in which you are sitting. Now I will attach a second engine so that you can become a wali quickly. This month is the second engine. Whoever abstains from sin in this month can abstain for the remaining eleven months. This is the experience of the saints. Whoever spent Ramadhân well and in the state of piety will spend the rest of the year with taqwâ because he honoured the Ramadhân of Allâh. He respected the words in order that you attain piety. Allâh will in turn also honour him with taqwâ. Allâh will not disgrace him with sins. Whoever honours the laws of Allâh, Allâh grants him honour and respect. This month is a double engine. One is the company of the saints which we have obtained with the grace of Allâh. Mâshâ Allâh, what saints we have in our city. The aim of Ramadhân is also piety. Allâh says, in order that you may attain piety. We are not making fasting obligatory in order to make you starve. Supplicate before Iftâr and at the time of tahajjud when you wake up for sehri. Today the Quran has been completed. Duâ at this occasion is also accepted. There are four reasons for duâs being accepted in Ramadhân. Four causes have been created to make the mercy of Allâh shower down: before Iftâr, at the time of tahajjud, after the recitation of the Quran and the angels that carry the Throne say Âmîn to the dua of those who fast throughout the month. Look in the book, The Virtues of Ramadhân by Sheikh Zakariyya for more details.
