were presented and the beast began to feed on their flesh. When
the beast would bite their flesh, they did not show the slightest
movement. All the flesh was given in Allah’s way and only the
bones remained.” 404
Looking Down upon Jannah
1. Moulana Zakariyah mentions in Mashaikh-e-Chist, “Sometimes
the aim of Ibaadah is the desire to gain Paradise. This is the Ibaadah
of the traders, because the motive underlying this worship is to
exchange Ibaadah for reward. Sometimes, Ibaadah is for the fear of
punishment. This is the Ibaadah of the servants who render their
service on account of fear for the employer. One type of worship
is such Ibaadah, which is not motivated by either desire or fear,
but is rendered solely as an expression of gratitude for the favors
of Allah. This is the Ibaadah of the free people.” 405
2. “On the occasion of Khwaajah Ilw Mumshad Dinwari’s death, a
Buzurg made Du’aa for Jannah (i.e. may Allah grant Hazrat
Mumshad Paradise). Hazrat Mumshad laughed and said: “For 30
years, Jannah with all its adornments appeared before me, but I
did not take a proper look at it even. I yearn for the Master of
Jannah.” 406
3. “Once he (Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi) said, that when we die
and go to Jannah, and the Hoorein will come to us, we will ask
them to either recite the Qur’aan to us or do their work (that is to
say that leave me alone).” Once he said, “I was very sick and am
very afraid of dying. I saw Hazrat Fatima (the daughter of Allah’s
Messenger) in a dream and she embraced me in her arms and I
got well.” 407
4. “Love for Allah should be purely for His sake, not for the desire
of Jannah nor for the fear of Jahannum.” 408
