A Khalifa (disciple) of Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sani (Rahmatullah Alaih) wrote a letter to him, enumerating his reformative and national achievements, stating that nowadays he is delivering sermons, teaching and instructing, and also continuing with writing and compiling books......... etc., etc.

Hazrat gave a strange/remarkable reply in response, which is highly worthy of attention for all of us. He said:

"My dear! All of this is the work you are doing for others? And such services are taken by Allah Almighty even from a 'Rajul-e-Fajir' (a wicked/sinful man).

You tell me how your personal deeds and spiritual states are going? How is the matter of the purification of the heart (Tazkiya-e-Qalb) and self-reform (Islah-e-Nafs)?"

Keeping this subject of Hazrat in view, if we assess our current situation today, the matter appears extremely critical.

Because when the purpose and focus of knowledge, instead of one's own concern and self-reform, becomes solely focused on others, then its matter becomes dangerous.
