Speech No: Fq-36
Event: Itikaf 2023
Place: Itikaf City, Lahore
Description:
In Episode 05 of “Aashiqon Kay Rastay”, Professor Dr. Hussain Mohiuddin Qadri delivers a profound and spiritually enriching lecture on Taqwa (God-consciousness) and Wara‘ (moral cautiousness). He explains that the path of true love for Allah begins with Taqwa, which protects a believer from sins, and reaches excellence through Wara‘, which keeps a person away even from doubtful and disliked matters. Drawing upon the Qur’an, Sunnah, and the teachings of the Awliya of Allah, Dr. Hussain Qadri highlights that a true lover of Allah safeguards not only outward actions but also the inner state of the heart, prioritizing Allah’s pleasure in intentions, conduct, and daily life. He emphasizes that Wara‘ is a sign of spiritual awareness and deep reverence for Allah, leading a seeker toward sincerity, inner purification, and closeness to the Divine. The lecture further clarifies that without Taqwa and Wara‘, claims of divine love remain superficial, whereas true love manifests in character, ethics, and lifestyle. This episode is especially beneficial for those seeking spiritual purification, self-discipline, and advancement on the path of Sulook (spiritual journey).
