One of my regular practices is to read the Malfoozat of Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه). Malfoozat, simply defined, are the casual or general words spoken by someone. They are not planned discourses (bayaans) or formal articles.
Reading them makes me feel as though I am sitting in the spiritual company of Maulana Sahab. His insights are full of wisdom, and the conversational style makes the advice deeply personal and practical to implement. I often find that just a few lines (malfooz) from Maulana Sahab are worth entire, well-researched books by Western authors.
I initially tried to expand upon or explain them, but I really see no reason to do so. Therefore, I will simply focus on translating the specific passages I have highlighted during my readings—the ones that have truly stuck with me over the years. InshaAllah I plan to post regularly.
