A disciple once asked, "Hazrat! I usually pray Namaz (Salah) regularly but if I am in a meeting and Namaz time comes I find it difficult to get out of the meeting and the Namaz gets Qaza (delayed beyond its mandatory time). What should I do to prevent that from happening?" Hazrat replied, "Whenever you have free time keep reciting Kalma Tayyaba and when you do remember keep praying to Allah Ta'alah asking His help with this matter."

PRAYING NAMAZ (SALAH) FOR FORTY DAYS

For someone who didn't pray Namaz regularly previously Hazrat said, "One should form a strong intention that I will not miss any Namaz for the next forty days and he should stick to it no matter how hard it is. It has been a lot of people's experience that once they go through those forty days without missing a Namaz then it becomes easier for them to pray Namaz regularly."

PRAYING NAMAZ (SALAH) WITHOUT ENJOYING IT

In answer to a question Hazrat once said that Moulana Gangohi RA used to say, "There is very good news for that person who never got enjoyment in Namaz (but still kept praying it)." Further elaborating upon it Hazrat said that there can be no doubt about the Ikhla's (doing something with the pre intention of pleasing Allah Ta'alah) of the person who never got pleasure out of namaz but forced himself to keep praying it because Allah SWT has ordered us to do so. That is why one should keep praying Namaz regardless of whether we are getting pleasure in it or not.

OFFERING SALAH (NAMAZ) REGULARLY

A buzurg once said, "Praying Salah five times a day is Fardh (obligatory), whether one can concentrate during it or not, or whether one gets a tranquil feeling in heart after offering it or not. It is obligatory to attend Allah Ta'alah's court five times a day."

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SADAQAH AND KHAIRAT

A person once asked a buzurg about difference between Sadaqah and Khairat. The buzurg said that "to give Sadaqah the ownership of the money has to be transferred, but Khairat can also be spent in situations where ownership of the money cannot be transferred for example building of a masjid or a school." The person then asked, "which one brings more thawab (reward)?" The buzurg replied, "It depends on the needs of the people at the time."
