Correspondence of Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahimahullah) with his Daughter – Letter Four & Five
“You should definitely count how many of my letters have reached you. The idea is that in this distress of yours, at least my letters continue to reach you. Nevertheless, this piece of advice I will repeatedly share with you, that if you remain occupied in zikr and continue to read tasbeeh in abundance, then you will get everything in the Hereafter, and in this world as well you will enjoy a great amount of peace and tranquillity.”
“Allah Ta‘ala alone knows the wisdom behind every condition. Your duty is to continue making du‘aa to Allah Ta‘ala and thereafter remain patient and grateful on His decision. Whatever you are doing is all for the Hereafter. Then why is it that you feel sorrow and regret that Ramadhaan was not spent correctly? Serving the husband and nursing him is also an action for Allah Ta‘ala and the Hereafter. You should certainly continue to make the intention that everything is for Allah Ta‘ala, and not to show the world.”
