Thank you Zahid,you are lovely and loving.....JazakAllah.

hiso,I don,t mind him; But,you Maripat,we expect a lot from you.You have created a halo around you,not deliberately,but through your very high calibre intellectual and academic discussions.Such high standards are difficult to create,but even more difficult to maintain,as expectations become very high,sometimes un-realistically so ,even suffocating for the person concerned.

Anyway,I thank you again for your kind words. I will inshaAllah keep learning from you.

Our Shaikh RA used to recite these verses often:

"Kabhi bhool kar kisi se na karo sulook esa
Ke jo tujh se koi karta,tumhe nagawar hota"

I wish,I could learn enough from him,but I was a "Ghabi" student.

Unlike the traditional way of making bayat,he just asked me for three things to do bayat upon:

1)that I would like the same things for every Muslim which I like for myself
2)That I will spare every Muslim from the harm of my hands and Tongue,and
3)that I will keep serving the humanity to the best of my abilities.

I said " InshaAllah".... And he accepted me in his bayat.This saying inshaAllah saved my neck,otherwise,since then,my bayat would have been broken many times,as I could not sincerely act upon any of the three promises I made.

I apologise to you and hiso for being harsh in my words,I hope you will accept my apologies.

Very nice post brother Duajo.
We all are nobodies.
I do not know where and how this somebody enters our brain - it is so difficult to dislodge it.
May Allah (SWT) help us in attaining Fanafillah.

for pointing out that halo thing. Got to work on that, IA. Allahu Mustaan.

for sharing the experience with your Shaikh -it is always inspiring.
