“A poetical verse says: You want the communion of God and you also want this mean world. Let me tell you, this is utterly impossible and it is nothing less than madness.
Nobody knows when he would be called upon to surrender his life. That being the case one should not be unmindful of the fact of his mortality and he should not give preference to the worldly affairs over his religion.
Do not depend on your life. You should not think that you are secure against the devastation of the Time.”

“A true believer should not only believe in the God with these four attributes (Rab, Rahman, Raheem, Malik-i-yaumid-deen) with the word of the mouth; he should live the kind of life that would clearly show to the people that he does not take anyone else as his Rab, he takes God as his Rab; he does not take Zaid or Umar (X or Y) his Rab. He should be full of certainty that it is only God who rewards the actions (whether the reward is good or it is punishment); He knows the most hidden sins that a man might commit. You should know it well, that verbal claims do not mean anything whatsoever. He who takes God to be his Rab and Maalik-i-yaumiddin, in the true sense of the words, can never commit evil deeds like stealing, fornication, gambling, or other deeds like them, for, he knows that all these things are devastating and to commit them is to violate the commands of God.
The truth is that unless a man proves that he is a true believer in God and has very strong faith in Him, he cannot be the recipient of the blessings and the grace of God which are granted to those who are His near ones. The blessings that are vouchsafed to those who are near and dear to God have their sources in those people being the possessors of high certainty and strong faith; these are the people who give preference to God over everything else in the whole universe.
You must try to realize that Islam does not tantamount to mere verbal profession of faith and some “wird” and “wazaa-if” (uttering of some words repeatedly for spiritual influence); one’s practical life should be so good that he may become the recipient of the help and succour of God and he may be vouchsafed God’s generous Bounties. All the Prophets had their lives very pure, truthful, trustworthy and of high morals. They were not like the ordinary people – their fasting, payment of zakat, prayers and bowing and prostration and recitation of sura Fatiha, was not like the ordinary people, they had caused a sort of death to everything in the world; the only thing they visualized was the Being of God the Almighty; they took Him alone as their Helper and real Sustainer. It is with Him that they had real communion and it is of Him that they always thought and it is in Him that they lived their lives.”

“The fact is that he who does not perform appropriate deeds, does not really pray; he only wants to try God. That is why it is essential that before praying for something it is vitally important that one should make use of all the sources available to him. This is what really prayer means. One should think over his beliefs and actions, for the practice of God is that He makes the reformation through some relevant means, that is, He makes the means available.”

Where as the Holy Quran commands us to be obedient to the parents and to be serviceable to them, it also says:
“Your Lord knows best what is in your minds; if you are righteous, then surely, He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again.” (17:26)
God knows it quite well as to what is there in your hearts; if you are righteous, then you should know that God forgives those who turn to Him. The Champions of the Holy Prophet, sallallaho alaihi wa sallam, were also confronted with hardships, and for religious reasons their relations with their parents were strained. But of course, it is for you to try all you can to be good to them and to look after them as best lies in your power; you should not lose any opportunity to serve them. Your good intentions will bring you good rewards. If you have to get yourselves separated from them, because of your religion, that, of course, is a thing, that you cannot help. But you should always keep in mind that you have to try to be good to them; your intentions must always be very good. You should supplicate to God for them.
It is not only you who have been made to confront with this kind of situation. Hazrat Ibrahim, peace be upon him, had also to pass through the same circumstances. However, you should know that your duty to God comes first. You should give preference to Him and try to do your duty to your parents as well; you should also be praying for them – and you should be very sincere in whatever you do. Your intentions must always be good.
