Malfuzat - Mufti Muhammad Shafi R: Part I

Collected from the book Malfujat: Mufti Shafi (Rahmutullahi Alaiyhi) by Mohammad Belayat Hossain (A Mureed of Mufti Shafi R)

The sign of Satisfaction of Allah Ta’la
(Hazrat Delivered on 20th August, 1961)
Mufti Shafi R said, his teacher Hazrat Mawlana Azgar Hossain R told, “When a man is provided the ability (tawfiq) of good deeds, or he keeps on performing good deeds, you may conclude that Allah Ta’la is Satisfied with him. Therefore, getting the opportunity of good deeds and performing Ibadat (i.e. worshipping) of Allah Ta’la is to be thought (great) bounty.”
Mufti R said, “Concentrating mind on a good deed is within the ability of man. But to contact mind and soul in Ibadat (worship toward Allah Ta’la) is not within the ability of man; that is the wish of Allah Ta’la.”


Don’t leave a good deed despite small and don’t commit a sin let be how minor it is
(Hazrat Delivered on 9th August, 1964)
Mufti Shafi R said, Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alayihiwasallam said, “Don’t leave a good deed despite of being small, and refrain from committing a sin despite how minor it seems”. Mufti Shafi R said to the present audience, “The enormous good deeds those you perform today are the successors of small good deeds you performed at the earlier stage of your life. Gradually from small good deeds opportunity of performing greater amount of good deeds has come. Similarly, those who are committing major sins today, previously had been habituated to minor ones.” He said, “We shouldn’t leave performing good deeds assuming it to be small, because, often that becomes the reason for salvation. For example: the two incidents of two Mudares (teachers) of Deoband Madrasah. One between them is Mawlana Mahmudul Hasan R, whom one saw in dream after passing away, and asked – how has Allah Ta’la treated you? He answered, when alive – once his wife cooked curry without salt and he didn’t utter any single word regarding the matter to his wife and simply had his meal. Allah Ta’la for such a petty deed had forgiven him and set free.”
Second incident, the second Scholar, while he died none was present – he passed away when he had returned from the wash room. His servant was not beside him. After his death someone asked him in dream, how has Allah Ta’la treated you? He answered, ‘None was present when I passed away. On that regard, Allah Ta’la has forgiven me.’ Allah Ta’la didn’t ask him about any deeds.
