THE SECRET.

When the great saint, Hazrat Khwaaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki (rahmatullah alayhi) passed away, many people mourned this great loss. His casket had to be brought to a ground where there were many shayookh, pious individuals & countless followers who had gathered to perform the janazah salaah & pay homage to him.

When it was time to read the janaazah salaah, a man came forward & said:
"I am this man's wali (legal guardian) & he has asked me to convey his wishes to all of u present here for the salaah. Hadhrat Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki (rahmatullah alayhi) wishes that only the person with the following 4 qualities will be allowed to lead his janaazah salaah. They are:
1. He always joins the jamaat at the first takbir.
2. He has never missed tahajjud salaah.
3. He has never stared at a non mahram woman.
4. He is so pious that he has never missed the sunnah salaah before Asr.

The crowd was shocked & so silent that they could have heard a pin drop. They looked around trying to see who had these qualities. They were quite sure that none of them possessed these qualities.

Just then a mureed of the shaykh walked up to the casket with tears in his eyes. He uncovered Hazrat Kaki rahmatullah alayhi's face & said:
"U have died & left me in an embarrassing situation. I swear by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that I fulfilled all of these requirements."

The people stared at this man in disbelief. He was none other but their king Shamsuddin Altamash & none of them knew that he led such a virtuous life.

Subhanallah!
If a king, who has an entire kingdom to control, can lead such a pious & virtuous life, then can't we do the same?

Isn't it time that we stopped making all types of excuses to get closer to our Loving Allah?
Isn't it time that we begin to truly tread the footsteps of our Nabi Kareem sallallaahu alayhi wasallam , which leads to the happiness & bliss we are all seeking & running after?
With every breath we take, we get a step closer to the grave.

Ya اللّـه, Ya Rabbi

اجعل خير عمري آخره
ij’al khair Umri Aakhirah
Make the best part of my life the last part of my life

وخير عملي خواتيمه
Wa Khaira Amali Khawatimah
aиϑ make the best of my action the last action that I do in this life

وخير أيامي يوم ألقاك فيه
Wa Khaira Ayyami Yowma Alqaak feeh
aиϑ the best day the day I return back to meet You.
آمـــــــــين يا رب العالمـــــــــين
