10. Hazrat Fazal^RA often used to weep and repeat this Quranic verse: "....But something will confront them from Allah, which they could never have counted upon!" (S. 39 : 47 AYA). He used to lamentagain and say that he had done deeds, which he thought, wee righteous, but, all of a sudden he realised that they were evils and this would continue to manifest until he understood. Often he used to recite the Quranic Verse: "...And Allah knoweth what you do. And certainly We will test you, till We know who among you strive hard in the cause of Allah and are steadfast and We will test you by the reports (of how you have discharged your responsibilities)." (S. 47:30 and 31 SAL)

11. Then he used to say: "O my Allah! If You test our conditions (halat), You disgrace us and destroy us and expose us." Allah says:"...We will by degrees bring them down in ways they hardly perceive."(S. 7:182 SAL). Allah says:"Say (O Muhammad): Whether ye hide that which is in your breasts or reveal it, Allah knoweth it...." (S. 3 : 29 MMP). And if I were to do some deed concealed from the people, I will get the reward of that deed or that intention from Allah on the Day of Judgement. Prophet Muhammad ^SLM has said that all deeds are (judged) on the basis of intentions.

12. Further phet Muhammad ^SLM has said: "A person does not become a believer (mumin) unless his heart conforms with his tongue (words of moth) and his tongue conforms with his heart: his deed should not be different from his word."

13. It is narrated by Osama bin Zaid,^RZ that Prophet Muhammad^SLM has said: "Man will be brought on the Day of Judgement, he will be put into the Fire, his saddles will slip into the Fire, he will be harnessed in the mill like the donkey which is harnessed in the mill, then the inmates of Hell will assemble around him and ask: "O so-and-so! What is the situation you are in; were you not enjoining upon us to do vertuous deeds and were you not prohibiting us from evil?" Then the man will say: "Yes, I used to enjoin upon you to do good deeds and I myself did not do what I told you to do and I used to prohibit you from evil but I ised to commit the same evil deeds." Calling people to knowledge and Quran with intimidation is cursing oneself and one's descendants and servants and wealth. Tarheeb means a person's enjoining others to do good deeds and prohibiting them from evil and his word and deed not conforming (with what he advised others).
