A Glance of Love

.......................................................................................................................

My Sheikh, Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Daamat Barakaatuhum) was once delivering a talk when someone inquired regarding a Hadith. …It is mentioned in the Ahadith that Allah Ta’ala will record an accepted (nafl) Haj in favour of a person that casts a loving and affectionate glance upon his parents.

…How easy Allah Ta’ala has made it for the poor who cannot afford to go and even for those who can go for Haj ? For just a glance of love and affection, Allah Ta’ala grants such a tremendous reward.

So my Sheikh was asked, what then would be the reward of the person who looks at his spiritual guide with love and affection? Hazrat replied : “He will get Allah Ta’ala, Himself, as the reward.”

A sincere mureed will most definitely have a deep-hearted love for his Sheikh, which would be for the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala. Due to such Muhabbat (Love), Aqidat (Conviction) and Azmath (Respect), his love for Allah Ta’ala will increase in his heart and he will begin to enjoy a nearness to Allah Ta’ala.       

Of course, the Sheikh has to also be an Aashiq of Allah Ta’ala and His Beloved Rasul e. He must not be using his mureeds, exploiting them for any worldly reasons.

Regarding the Hadith just related, wherein Nabi mentioned that to glance at ones parents with love, affection and mercy earns one the reward of an accepted Haj; many parents may say that they are not recipient to such kindness from their children. On the contrary, many will complain that they are cursed, troubled, abused and harassed by their children.

Unfortunately, we, as parents, are deprived of our children’s love and affection due to not having done our duty as parents. Since we have not given our children the Islamic upbringing and education that they require, who then do we blame for their ill manners and lack of respect, but ourselves
