Malfuzaat (Sayings)

*Imagine how debased our thinking has become that we are afraid of hunger. What may happen, at most we will die.
*Everyone of us should make istighfaar (repentance) on the behalf of all the Muslims.
*Today, a Muslim thinks that killing is a sin, fornication is a sin, and stealing is a sin, but he does not consider that leaving Dawa is a sin.
*When I used to be absent from the mashwarah, Maulana Inaam ul Hasan used to exhort the people to imagine what Abdulwahab would say if he were here.
* We have not been created as merchants, as farmers, as doctors, as engineer but we have been created as Da'ees, as the workers to spread the meesage of Allah to all mankind.
* We should make istighfar on our (way of doing) istighfar.
* Whenver Allah intended the well-being of a nation, he created among them the Daee's (i.e the poeople who called upon Allah).
* Whenever there is an atmosphere of general disobedience to Allah, the Rasul's and Nabi's begin from the beginning: they begin from the struggle of Iman and Yaqeen.
