Shaykh-ul-Islam delivered his speech on Tawba today. He started his discourse with the analysis of our response to the wrongs done to us. You wrong the wrongdoer; that is justice. But you respond nicely to the wrongdoer; that is generosity. One should turn away from justice and turn towards generosity. Justice is the lower standard of taqwa or righteousness while generosity is its higher standard.

Shaykh-ul-Islam said that brotherhood brings the broken hearts together and is instrumental in seeking an end to the age-old enmities.

The height or end-point of retreat is that he strengthens his relationship with Allah Almighty so firmly that even if he sits among people but still he is not away from Him.
Shaykh-ul-Islam said that less talking increases one’s sustenance and excessive and purposeless speaking decreases it.
