Shaykh-ul-Hadith Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi (Rahimahullah) once addressed the scholars and said: "The essence of my entire life is that if you do five things, you will become righteous (Muttaqi):
(1) Companionship of the People of Allah (Musabahah): Meaning, staying in the company of the pious servants of Allah.
(2) Consistency in the Remembrance of Allah (Mudawamah): Meaning, remembering Allah regularly with constancy.
(3) Protection from Sins (Muhafazah): Meaning, abstaining from evil deeds and vices.
(4) Distance from the Causes of Sin (Muba'adah): Meaning, staying away from the means and opportunities that lead to sin.
(5) Adherence to the Sunnahs (Muwazabah): Meaning, fully organizing and managing one's life according to the Sunnahs.
(May Allah Almighty grant everyone the ability to act upon the aforementioned points. Ameen.) Ameen.
