Hazrat Mawlana Thanvi (R) said that until and unless with Zikr, the quality of talking less is not developed, the worldly benefits of Zikr would NOT be attained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\"><em>Second is:<\/em>\u00a0Maintain a reduced span of relationship with people. Nowadays, the practice of mixing and intermingling with lot of people, arranging meetings and maintaining a high degree of intimacy with them has become a custom. This custom teaches that how more and more relationships could be established. But on the Path of\u00a0<em>Islah<\/em>\u00a0(Self Reformation), to mix and intermingle with too many people unnecessarily is detrimental. Yes, if there is a relation established that should be done for the sake of Allah Taala. The relationship with family members and friends must therefore also be for the sake of Allah Taala. However, the absolute benefits of Zikr are not attained due to maintaining too much relationship with people in view to fulfillment of self-interests. <sub><sup>from Islahi Majalis (3rd Part): Mufti Taqi Usmani (DB)<\/sup><\/sub><\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-2\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"I Like this Article\" data-post-id=\"122\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"cookie\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hakeemul Ummah Hazrat Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (R) stated, \u201cThe benefits and achievements which the pious men mention&hellip;","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6062,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[60],"class_list":{"0":"post-122","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-akhlaq-self-reformation","8":"tag-islaminlife","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
