a Monday night after passing the day of Monday. On the day of the apparent passing of Holy Prophet’s صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, there was no oil in the house to light the lamp, and at the time that Sayyidunā Abū Bakr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ left this world, there was not even enough money in the house to buy a shroud [cloth used to wrap the body for burial.] This is Fanā [submerging into one’s personage].’ (Mirā-tul-Manājīḥ, Vol. 8, p. 295)

Dear Islamic brothers! We learnt about the similarity between the final journey to the Hereafter of the Master of Madīnaĥ, the Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the greatest devotee Sayyidunā Abū Bakr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ. At the time of the apparent passing of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, there was no oil in the lamp, and the state of the sterling devotee of the Prophet, Sayyidunā Abū Bakr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ was that instead of running after the temporary wealth of the world which is bound for destruction, he collected the treasure of the love of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he tolerated great difficulties, and he always considered this condition as being the source of true satisfaction in both worlds.

Jān ĥay ishq-e-Muṣṭafā صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم, roz fuzūn karay Khudā

Jis ko ĥo dard kā mazā nāz-e-dawā uṫĥāye kyūn

Life is the love of Muṣṭafā صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم, may it thrive ever

He who enjoys the pain of love, why should he look for cure?

From this we learn that in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, those who possess an abundance of wealth and riches are not the most
