Visit the graves of Saints, there is benefit in it

The Prophet (saw) had said, “Remember death, and remember those who have died.”� That will remind you of death and life after death. In another Hadeeth, when the Prophet (saw) was asked by the Companions on how one may recognize a Wali (Saint) of Allah, Rasululla�h (saw) replied, “When you look at a real Saint who is beloved in the Divine presence, the sign is that – your hair will stand on end and you will suddenly remember the Lord of the Heavens, and your heart will tremble in awe of Him.”� That is the sign of Sainthood.

“Neither My Earth nor My Heavens can contain Me, but the heart of a Believing Servant, contains Me.”

The purpose of being a scholar is not to acquire respect from the people around you – many scholars enjoy strutting around dressed in their scholarly garb, with a Kita�b under their armpits. That should not be their aim of their existence. Their sole aim should be to become a fountain of sincere advice to their communities, to teach their followers real knowledge – where they are now, where they have been invited to, and to show them the stairway to spiritual ascension – not to the bowels of dunya�!
