Five Advices of Hadhrat Moulana Yusuf RA

What is very important is the five essential guidelines which Maulana Yusuf RA used to say:
كرتے رہو ڈرتے رہو روتے رہو مانگتے رہو مانگتے رہو
Karte rahow, Darte rahow, Rowte rahow, Mangte rahow, Maante rahow

"Carry on doing (the work), carry on fearing, carry on crying, carry on asking and carry on being obedient."

Analyzing this statement:

• Firstly - We have to continue working because this is a responsibility which is given to us.

• Secondly & Thirdly - We should fear and cry because we do not know upon which shortcoming or disregard for a particular principle (Usool) of this work that will result in us being deprived of this work.

• Fourthly - What should we carry on crying and asking for? We should continue crying and begging for acceptance, steadfastness (istiqamat), to keep in conformance to mashwera, to become humble, etc.

• Fifthly - Asking for obedience so that Allah Ta'ala keeps us in this work till death.
