Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (Radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, “Blessing (barakah) is with your elders/ seniors.” Explanation: Elders refers to those who are experienced and punctual on good actions. Remain in their company so that you can follow their advices and attain guidance through emulating their ways. (Faydul Qadir, Hadith :3205)
The only way to salvation is through submission to Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله and loyalty to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم. Commitment to Deen is indeed the legacy of our pious predecessors.
SCATTERED PEARLS is basically gratitude unto Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله for the blessings of our Ahlullāh. Their sheer subservience to Allah Ta’ala and Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم is amazing. These concise posts are being shared so that we can develop the bounty of Taqwa and attain everlasting salvation. Another vital point is for us to realise how closely our pious predecessors followed Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Sahabah رضوان الله عليهم أجمعين.
We humbly request duaas that Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله accept our feeble efforts and keep us on the mizaaj (temperament) of servitude. آمين
Was Salaam
