[edit] 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
