Islam as a Way of Life
There are prayers for every occasion. Sleeping and awakening, entering and leaving home, entering and leaving the mosque, before meal and after, morning and evening, wearing and taking off clothes, commencing the journeys and returning, seeing off, congratulating, visiting sick, condolences, giving charity and even when performing conjugal duties. Each and every one no more than a few words you can utter and time consumed in them is less than lighting a match or drinking a glass of water.

Maulana Muhammad Zakaria
His Extreme Diligence in Acquiring the Prophetic Sciences
His respected self has passed his entire life, from childhood to old age, in learning, teaching and writing upon the prophetic sciences.
Those persons only who have had the good fortune of reading his works can have a correct estimate of his labour and assiduousness in the acquisition of these sciences. In the works which he compiled in the Urdu language, he has collected and translated hundreds of Hadith on each topic in sweet and poignant a manner whereby there is such effectiveness in these books that hundreds of thousands of men have achieved the wealth of faith and certitude and of love for and obedience to Allah and the Apostle from them. Even if one reads these books again and again one does not feel satiated. Due to this magnetic attraction and uncommon popularity the publication of these books of Faza'il (Merits) must have run into millions of copies, because there is hardly any book depot and press which may not have printed and published these books on their own.

Conformance to the Sunnah
After the Holy Prophet's
advent, all other laws (shari'ahs) and ways of life have been abrogated. Apart from the Holy Prophet's
shar'a (law) and practice (Sunnah), nothing is acceptable; and blessing has been bestowed in his method only till the Day of Judgement. The blessing of this method is such that while in former times people could not reach this grade even after a thousand years of labours and austere practices, a Muhammadi (a follower of Muhammad) can reach it within a few years of strivings.
 
 
The qualities of prophets are extreme forms of the qualities of common human beings. It is our belief that the prophets never have any negative quality. All the qualities of prophets have been positive. The nature of positive qualities is to keep us mindful of the world hereafter. All the positive qualities make us helpful for others without any hope of reward or return. On the other hand the negative qualities make us mindful of this world. They make us helpful for our own benefits or the benefits of our family, and they make us hopeful of reward or return whether of this world or the world hereafter. |
