Hedayatus Saalikeen / Selected Quotes

(Guidance for the Seekers of Allah Ta’ala by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb [Daamat Barakaatuhum] [Musjid-e-Noor]

In truth, true Knowledge is the name of Allah’s Love.
Otherwise, if one disregards the true object of acquiring Knowledge,
Then such Knowledge becomes a means for Iblees to mislead.
That Knowledge which does not lead towards Allah,
Is in fact, not Knowledge, but ignorance.

Arrogance about Knowledge keeps one deprived of truth, dear

friends.
The aim and object of Knowledge is but to acquire Divine Love,
Apart from this, all else is deception and deceit.

All praises are for Allah Ta’ala, the Executioner of all affairs.
Salaat and Salaam be upon the best of all Creation,
Sayyedena Muhammad.

Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb is the Khalifa of two great luminaries – Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Daamat Barakaatuhum) and Hazrat Mufti Mahmood-ul-Hasan Gangohi (Rahmatullah ‘alaih), and is, himself, the mentor, preceptor and spiritual guide of many, including myself.

In character, Hazrat Maulana is the embodiment of virtue, with a heart burning with the love of Allah Ta’ala and His Beloved Rasool e. He possesses a deep-hearted desire to connect people with Allah Ta’ala and His Beloved Rasool e.

A few years ago, Hazrat Maulana began special Tarbiyyah lessons, twice a week, for pupils of all levels, at Madrassah Sawlehaat, in Asherville (Durban). These lessons, relating to the moral and spiritual training necessary for all Muslims, pivot around the Love of Allah Ta’ala and His Rasool e, and are most beneficial in bringing into practice the knowledge of the Qur`aan and Hadith acquired. These lessons enrich, inspire and enlighten the heart, mind and soul.

By then, Hazrat Maulana had also commenced weekly programmes at the Musjid-e-Noor, in Asherville, Durban. These programmes, which cover an array of subjects, are transmitted from the Musjid to the ladies who are accommodated at the Madrassah. Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh, Tasawwuf, Zikr (Praise of Allah Ta'ala) and the poetry of the Ahlullah (Friends of Allah Ta'ala) all form the composition of Hazrat Maulana ’s most effective, inspiring and beneficial talks.

These talks leave deep impressions on the heart, and are also instrumental in a considerable number of men, women and youth changing and reforming their lives in accordance with the Shariah.

Having compiled approximately 400 of Hazrat Maulana ’s most important utterances from his discourses over the last 3 years, I desired that these be made available to those who were not so fortunate to have been present at the talks. It is a fact that listening to the tapes of Maulana ’s lectures, Zikr (Praise of Allah Ta'ala), Dua, Tarbiyyah Lessons and other programmes, have been a means of many people in South Africa and other countries, increasing and strengthening their Imaan and Yaqeen in Allah Ta’ala and their love of Raslullah e.

When I presented my very humble effort to my respected Sheikh and Murshid, Hazrat Maulana was very hesitant and unwilling to grant permission for its publication, humbly stating that senior Ulama and Mashaa`ik are more deserving of their utterances published. However, after consultation with his Sheikh, Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Daamat Barakaatuhum), who strongly recommended its publication, I was reluctantly given permission to continue. Alhamdulillah.

This booklet contains the first 50 such quotes. May Allah Ta’ala make this book purely for His sake and accept my very humble effort. May He make it a Sadaqa-e-Jaariyah for my Sheikh as well as myself. May He grant us all a deep understanding of the knowledge acquired, accompanied with the ‘Taufeeq’ of practice on the commandments of Allah Ta’ala and the teachings of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) , and may He grant me and all Saalikeen His Love, His Fear, His Recognition and the ultimate goal of Ihsaan.
