What is the cause, and what is the cure thereof? The cause is this that we have become slaves to our desires, and we have weakened our link with that exalted Being who is Almighty Allah’s Compassion for all humanity and for all times. The remedy for this malady is that we should strengthen our link with the Beloved Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace.The more will we strengthen this link, the more will we be become immune from worries and problems. We can deliver ourselves from misfortunes and worries only through total submission at the feet of Him who is the centre of the universe. It would be appropriate to elaborate this point with an example of a grindstone which revolves on an axis and crunches the grain. The grains that fall away from the axis are crushed andthose that remain close to the axis are spared. The Holy Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, is the axis of the universe, whom Allah has Granted the title of “Compassion of the Worlds” In the Holy Quran. He who remains attached to his feet has no fear of the buffets of time. He will be at the mercy of the circumstances only when he will leave the axis. The only way to be immune from the miseries or misfortunes of time is to be close to the Holy feet of the Holy Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, and that is possible only through abundant recitation of Durood-e-Pak.
