Sometimes I put my hand on the pulse and tell about the illness and people become astonished. A person came to me with a file of a medical checkup record. I said, please put down the file, I shall tell you about the disease. If I do not understand your illness, then show me the file. So when with the help of Allah I said something, he said: I have tests of thousands of rupees. The doctors diagnosed my illness after the tests, how did you tell me about that?
We Never Considered Ourselves Spiritual Patients
If physical illness is told to the patient, the patient thanks the doctor, and if a doctor tells about a spiritual illness to a patient, the patient becomes angry. What is the reason for this? The reason for this is that until today no patient even thought about considering himself a spiritual patient. The patient never considered himself a spiritual patient. If the patient does not understand his illness, how shall he heal? How shall he be cured if he does not consider himself a patient? When we shall consider ourselves patients, only then shall we get treatment from a doctor. If a doctor shall say to a patient that you have spiritual illness, would the patient not become angry? If he expresses it or not, he shall feel angry in the heart.
Knowledge is That Which Introduces Us to Our Lord
The knowledge that we have filled in our brains are those that it is all about the hard-work before death is everything for us, and all of the hard-work is for using the brain, and we have called it knowledge, but this is not knowledge. Knowledge is that what reconciles us with our Lord. The things that we work upon are definitely skills, they are definitely our subjects, whether it is the subject of economics, whether it is the subject of technology, or the subject of science, subject of medicine, they are all skills, and mastering a skill is not sin. But true knowledge is only that that develops a recognition of Allah and His prophet (PBUH). Knowledge is that that removes darkness from the eyes. Knowledge is that that brings light in front of his eyes. Knowledge is that that gives a recognition of the afterlife. Knowledge is that that teaches the way of living for the perpetual afterlife. That is called knowledge.
Difference between a Human and an Animal
A person has the skills and knowledge of the whole world, but he does not have the recognition of his Lord, he does not know his Lord, he cannot differentiate between halaal (allowed) and haraam (prohibited), so he is an animal. The animal who enters the field of a person and he does not know that whether this field belongs to his owner or someone else. All he can see is hunger, desire and greed. Wherever he shall find green grass, he shall go into that field. The one who does this is an animal and not a human being.
The Mechanism of Life Works from Somewhere Else
Human being is the one who has eyes the grass of his own fields. Whether that grass is dry or rotten. Grass is in reality a metaphor for every such thing that is concerned with sustenance. It is concerned with desire. It’s concerned with any sphere of life. The person who has commandments of God in his heart, he shall say that this field is mine, although the grass of someone else’s field is greener, but he shall use the grass of his own field only.
This Thought Will Come When Knowledge Shall be attained
This thought shall come when the knowledge of God shall come in the heart. When all the differences shall vanish from his heart. That the knowledge I have attained, that is not complete! What we have learned is skill that can only be used to earn bread and butter, and to earn livelihood, whether the sustenance is halaal or haraam. In order to differentiate between halaal and haraam there is some other skill. There is some other knowledge for this. We should have gotten this knowledge from people of Allah. Whether this sustenance is halaal or haraam. Then the mechanism of life works from somewhere else. People of Allah! What I say requires attention! The way we spent time to learn the skills of this world from childhood to adulthood, we lifted pen and pencil, we educated ourselves, we thought and on the name of education, we attained skills, but that did not teach us the knowledge that who is Allah. Who is Prophet (ﷺ)? What is halal? What is haraam? That education did not teach any of this. Therefore, we learnt that we got the education but not humanity.
We Got Education but Not Humanity
Often parents say that we acquired a prestigious degree of education and skills for our child. Now our offspring embarrasses us. Sometimes parents bring their children with them and I say to them that the worldly knowledge that you have acquired for your children, the degree for that knowledge has been acquired, but have you given real knowledge to your offspring? That what is achieved by the service of parents? What does their sight achieve? What is achieved by helping them? You did not give this knowledge to your children. (Continued)

Every Problem Definitely Solved in Eleven Thursdays
Respected Hazrat Hakeem sahib, Assalam-o-alaikum! I was engulfed with blockages, familial problems, business decline and illnesses. Upon listening to a friend, I went to tasbeeh khana. Upon arriving here, I came to know that a special prayer of ism-azam is said in tasbeeh khana after the sermon, and my good fortune was that in those days a chilla of a special deed of Surah Ikhlaas was being performed. Meaning that the whole congregation combines every Thursday and recite Surah Ikhlaas for 40 thousand times, and this deed is done continuously for eleven Thursdays, and this happens only once in a year. (It takes only 5-7 minutes to perform this deed). I started coming to the tasbih khana regularly and participated in this deed with firm belief, attention and focus. I was astonished that within 11 Thursdays all of my problems were solved one after the other. That Thursday and this today, at the time of this writing, I go to tasbih khana regularly for listening to the sermon. (Shaakir Majeed, Lahore)
