Lessons from Talks of Maulana Ashraf Ali Thavni
When a question is asked, the sincerity of the seeker should be judged. If the seeker has a genuine intention of following, then he can be answered. Otherwise, we can respond with “I don’t know” or “Ask this question later” etc
Similarly, when we are asking questions, we should evaluate our sincerity and intention as well. And only ask questions with the sincere intention of following. Otherwise, we would have wasted our time and the time of our Shaykh.
