Ihyaaud Deen An Effort to Revive Deen in Totality
Hazrat Haji Ahmed Nakhuda (rahimahullah) mentions:
On one occasion, I addressed Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith, Moulana Muhammed Zakariyya Kaandhelwi (rahimahullah) and asked him, “How can a person save himself from fitnahs in this day and age?”
Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith (rahimahullah) replied, “Adhere to the sunnah in all facets of your life, and daily make istighfaar and recite durood shareef, as much as you can. Through doing this, you will save yourself from the fitnahs.”
Hazrat Haji Ahmed Nakhuda (rahimahullah) says:
Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith (rahimahullah) also mentioned that one should recite Aayatul Kursi and the three Quls (i.e. Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas) after every fard salaah, as this will also be a means of saving one from falling into sins.
Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith (rahimahullah) would also emphasize upon his mureeds when advising them (regarding their spiritual reformation), that they should refrain from getting involved in quarrels and disputes with people, and they should remember death frequently.”
