An Easy Way to Achieve Piety

Now I will narrate to you the statement of my Sheikh, Shah Abdul Ghani (Rahimahullah). He said that Allah, due to His perfect mercy, indicated the prescription for taqwa after making taqwa incumbent. "Remain with the truthful ones (the people of piety)." Till when will you continue sinning? By living with them, your temperament will one day change. The one, who once lived in the sewerage area but has now begun living in a garden among fragrant flowers, will find that his nature will change. Now he will not go back to the sewerage area to smell a canister of feces. Muster up the courage and leave the sewerage for a few days.

The Prescription for Reformation: 

If you fear reverting back to the sewerage area and committing sin, then abandon going out for a year or two. Sacrifice even your relatives for Allah’s sake. No matter what they say that the path to Allah is very difficult, do not worry about them. These very relatives will eventually fall at your feet when you don the crown of piety, when piety flows from your eyes and the scent of piety is effused from your tongue. Allah promises that He will love the one who leaves sin. He is in no need of amulets. When he belongs to Allah, Allah makes the creation love him. Do not worry about people saying that the path of Allah is difficult.
