$0.00

In common with the other Volumes in the series, The Words of Wisdom Volume 11 as well comprises the author Ḥaḍrat Abū Anees Muḥammad Barkat 'Ali's statements on matters concerning Ḥuqūq Allāh (duties owed to Allāh the Almighty), Ḥuqūq al-'Ibad (rights of the fellow human beings) and Ḥuqūq an-Nafs (rights owed to one's self). The Ḥuqūq (rights/duties)  are enlisted and duly illustrated  through the stories of the Prophets and the Pious of the Old  in the Holy Qur'ān and clearly explained  by His last and final Messenger to mankind, the Holy Prophet Muḥammad, whose sayings and practices have duly been preserved  for the believers to emulate.

Allāh the Almighty is the Creator of the Universe and its habitat and their Sustainer and Provider. The Volume under review has some examples of His concerns for the humankind enumerated during His Daily Call at Ḥazirat Al-Quds (The Nightly Holy Assembly). Accordingly the creatures all are free to speak out for help in case, for instance, of their sufferings or needs, physical, psychological and or pecuniary. Simultaneously, Ḥaḍrat Abū Anees has paraphrased herein the reverent mode of hailing Him with His beautiful Ascriptions  as in Ḥirz -i-Basmallāh  composed by Ḥaḍrat Sayyid 'Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani Sultan of Awliyā' Allāh (d. 1166 CE).

Allāh the Almighty is the loving par excellence to His creatures and, therefore, would listen to and fulfil their problems with utmost kindness and mercy. The author writes: "When addressing Allāh the Almighty, there is hardly any need of any long winded conversation. Saying like this is sufficient, 'O my Lord, the Honoured, the Exalted! Please render such and such a job for me!'"
