BLESSED SAYINGS OF HUZOOR KHWAJA SYED MOINUDDIN HASSAN CHISHTY (GARIB NAWAZ) A S

A friend of God must have affection like the Sun. When the sun rises, it is beneficial to all irrespective of whether they are Muslim, Christian, or Hindu.

A friend of God must be generous like a river. We all get water from the river to quench our thirst. It does not discriminate whether we are good or bad or whether we are a relation or a stranger.

A friend of God must display the hospitality like the earth. We are raised and cradled in its lap, and yet it is always under our feet.

Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan al-Chishty (A.S)

Whosoever received any blessings, received them due to his generosity.

Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan al-Chishty (A.S)

There are four cardinal virtues of the individual self:

• Refraining from begging in the state of poverty;
• Showing the attitude of being well-fed when feeling hungry;
• Maintaining a cheerfulness in the time of sorrow; and
• befriending the enemy.

Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan al-Chishty (A.S)

The path of Love of Allah (God) is such .a path that who so ever steps into it, loses himself.
