Those who tread the path of spirituality should safeguard their good deeds. When one treads the path of achieving nearness to Allah, being consistent and steadfast is a necessity. After some headway is made and spiritual taste has been developed, then one should take every action to protect this state of mind so that one can be blessed.

Dr Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, President MQI, made these remarks while addressing a spiritual gathering during Itikaf. He said when a faithful chooses the path of spirituality, he should do things that bring him contentment, inner peace and spiritual enlightenment. Warning the onslaught of laziness, he said that the days of Itikaf are the best refresher course to strengthen one's faith.

President MQI said that we are lucky to be living in the day and age of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri. He said that his company is a source of knowledge, spiritual journey and contentment. He said that Itikaf is also time for renewing a pledge, and reverting the path of piety. He prayed to Allah Almighty to enable us to be steadfast on the path toward purification of the heart.
