Ibn Hajr on strictness

[Jamil]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem


Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH


Ibn Hajr ul-Haitami Radi Allahu anhu once said,

"Many people, when they see their murshid is firm on the matter of obligations and the Sunna of the Noble Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam accuse him of being strict. They say that he is praying too much or keeping the Sunnah too firmly.

These people don't realize that they are falling to their own destruction. Beware of believing your ego's complaints about the firmness of the shaykh's adherence to the shari'ah."

[al-Fatawa al-Hadithiyya, p. 55.]

Ibn Hajar is right, and also more pirs need to be firm and lead by example. This way we could an should have a better ummah.

Mas'Allah br Jamil, a "strict" Murshid equal a Kamil Wali and a true awliya Allah.

A true Pir/Shaykh should always set a good example for his Mureeds to follow, especially if they seek such guidance.

Subhallah great quote brother Jammel but brother Musa is also right. There are Pirs out there now who dont deserve to be Pirs but cause of their father or other family members they become Pirs and dont lead by example.

SubhanAllah excellent post.

Here is a couplet for a Kaamil Pir :

PANJTAN KA RUTBA BHI SAMJHAYA PIR NE MUJHKO
RAAHE SHARIAT PER CHALNA SIKHLAYA PIR NE MUJHKO
MEHBOOB-E-SUBHANI SE MILWAYA PIR NE MUJHKO
SHABBIR O SHABBAR KA DARR DIKHLAYA PIR NE MUJHKO
PIR KE SADQE HOGI BAKHSHISH HASHAR MEIN INSHA-ALLAH ALLAH

A very dood quote brother Jamil and a good thread.

Just one request brothers please refrain from Judging other Pir's or anyone, please, please, who are we? , we are very sinful lets look at our own faults and remember whom we represent, our Pir O Murshid and also Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, they never judged anybody let alone a scholar or Wali e Allah.
Look at the message respected brother Jamil's post is giving out and stick to the subject. A very good message which needs relfection and pondering on.

Apologise sister but i was not pointing at any person or Valli ALLAH cause i am a big sinner myself but was just saying (and not pointing at any pir) that this kind of stuff happens. The pirs are at the top of sunniat and they lead and represent us, so if there was one who was not following sunnat then a lot of people would try to put us down by pointing fingers at him
