Following is a transcription of 10-minute part of a bayan delivered by Shaykh Kamaluddin Ahmed.

“I will end with you with two ayahs of the Quran-e-Kareem. Three ayahs of the Quran-e-Kareem. And if we can reflect on these ayats. If we can watch out for these ayats. If we can be weary of these ayats. And if in the end we can live by these ayats. Then Allah ta'ala will make us people of Quboolia , Inshallah give us tawfeeq to become people of Qubooliah.

First Ayat. Very scary ayat. Not scary the way you think. Not about Jahannah. Very scary ayah, because it describes our haqeeqat. Very scary ayah because it describes very specifically our haqeeqat. Allah swt says in quran:
That we will in the future, near future, slowly and surely bring you down in darajaa, in such a way that you won’t even realize. You will experience a gradual decline in your deen, in such a way that you won’t even realize. Before you used to do more ibadat. Gradually you will start doing less. Before you used to pray more tahajjud, gradually you will start praying less. Before you used to pray more nafl, gradually you will be praying less. Before you used to read some Quran, gradually you will start doing less. Before you used to be regular in your farz and wajibat, gradually you will start doing less. Before you used to leave sin, gradually you will start leaving less. Before you used to have some taqwa, gradually you will start having less. Allah o Akbar kabeera! This is what we all say. I was like this but I am going down. I am going down. What’s scary is not that you’re going down, but Allah ta’ala is taking you down. Why? because we don’t have have qabooliat. The early muslims used to worship the whole night and used to say Ya Allah we have not worshipped  you as it was your right to be worshipped. They used to stand most of the night in worship and at the time of dawn, they were making Istaghfar. That we have gone down. We are slowly but surely as an ummat going down. Some of us as individuals slowly and surely are going down. 

And second Ayat. Allah swt says in Quran-e-Kareem that on the day of judgement, there will be a group of people. Who think they’re momineen. Who even felt that they were saliheen. There will be a group of people who felt that we’re a people of eman and amal. There will be a group of people who will be feeling that maybe we will be going to jannah. And Allah swt will issue an order on them.  Stop them. Un ko rok lo. Rok dijiye usko. Us se sawal pochna hai. Woh masool hoga. Iski maine khabar leni hai. Is ne meri rehnat se nahin jana. Is ne meray adal insaf ka mawazna karna hai. Masooloon. (Stop him. He shall be questioned. He shall be answerable. I have to grill him. He doesn’t depend on my mercy, he wants to test me justice) Allah o Akbar kabeera! These days we get scared. We don’t want to be stopped in immigration. We don’t want to be stopped in the visa line. Mangtay hain humain dua hain parhnay k liye main bahar ja raha hoon. Oh Allah k banday, us din agar roka jaiga. Us din agar yeh ayat ham per parhi jaye. (People ask for prayers they can recite so they can travel abroad without troubles. Oh my dear, what will happen if this ayat is recited to us on that day?) Stop them! Allah o Akber kabeera! Who is going to answer those sawalat? Who can face that meezan? Who is going to be able to do that hisab? Who is going to survive that adl? Allah o Akbar kabeera. 

And last, to show you one story. Ibne Jauzi Rahimullah Al Hanbali and Shaykh-ul-Hadees Maulana Zakariyya Kandhelvi Rahimullah Al Hanafi have mentioned a very famous story. A very famous story of Shaykh Abdullah Andalusi Rehmatullah Alaih who is the shaykh of Shibli. Allah o Akbar! Shaykh of Shibli. That he was travelling once. Travelling for the sake of the deen. Travelling for the khidmat of the deen. Travelling with the tulaba of the deen. A big alim and muhaddis also by the way. One of the great muhadditheen of his era. And when he was walking by. he happened to walk by a place in which there was christian house of worship. And he saw some christians. And he saw the cross. And he thought to himself in his heart silently. That how foolish are these people that they worship this cross. Bus. That’s all he thought. That how foolish are these people that they worship this cross. Then when they reached a stop and we went to a well, his eyes fell upon a woman. You know Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in a hadith that shaytan uses a woman. Doesn’t mean the woman is bad necessarily. That shaytan uses the dunya to ensnare and entrap the person Shaytan may use the beauty of the dunya to ensnare and entrap the person. So shaykh Abdullah Andalusi, Al muhaddis ul kabeer. Waliullah. Shaykh of Shibli. His gaze fell on that woman. He became empty. He told his students. Leave me. Allah o Akbar Shaykh! he told his students Leave me. I am for her now. He asked around who is this girl. The people of the village said that she is the daughter of so and so. He went and knocked on the door and he said I would like to propose for your daughter. So he said that we’re christian. You look like you’re muslim. Yes. I can only give you my daughter if you stay with me one or two years. Apko dekhna paray ga. (I will have to observe you) In those one or two years. No salah for you. okay. Nothing, no Quran for you. Okay. In those one or two years, you will be not my shepherd. My pigherd. I have a herd of pigs. You will herd them. You will wash them. You will clean them. You will tend to the pigs. Okay. Allah o Akber kabeera. All the students of the shaykh couldn't believe their eyes. That shaykh they used to see on the mimber of the masjid. that shaykh who used to give darse hadees to thousands of students. That shaykh who used to give darse zikr and tazkiya to thousands of mureedeen. But one by one the students went back. There was one student. This is part of the qabooliat of the shaykh to have such a student. The student’s name was Shibli. Shibli came back. He couldn’t stand being without the shaykh. So went back. He came back to that town. He looked for the shaykh. He found the shaykh. And he saw the condition the shaykh was in. So he went to shaykh and asked him, Shaykh you were a hafiz of the quran, do you still remember quran? and he said no. I have forgotten the entire quran except one ayat of the quran. So he said what is that ayat. Allah o Akbar kabeera. Shaykh recited this ayat. Quran. Azeem us shan. Kalam. of zuljalal e intekam. Jiski ihanat allah tala karta hai, jiski tauheen allah tala karta hai. Jisko zaleel Allah tala karta hai, koi usko izzat nahin de sakta. Yeh ayat mujhay yaad hai.() Shibli. Mureed e haqiqi. Talib e haqiqi. Shagird e haqiqi pareshan. That that person that Allah swt lowers and abases. There’s no power that can give that person izzat again. Then he said shaykh you were hafiz of hadees, do you still remember hadees? Hafiz of hadees is that person who knew one hundred  thousand riwayat with sanad. He says I forgot all of hadees except one. Allah o Akbar! which hadees? Shaykh said jo apnay deen ko tabdeel karta hai usko katal karo. Allah O akbar! Shaykh, yeh hadees! Shibli started crying and making dua to Allah swt and then he walked and he left. He left and he went back. That shaykh only remembered this ayat. He only remembers this hadees. And when he was walking back, at some point he saw shaykh again. Back. Looking like shaykh. So he said shaykh Abdullah Andalusi. Aap kese? yahan kese? Shakyh said when you left, when you were crying and making dua to Allah swt. I was alone. Then I started crying. And then I started making dua to Allah swt. Ya Allah! Yeh to mera mureed tha. Ya Allah yeh tou mera shagird tha. Appnay mujay itna bhi gaya guzra kardia. Itna zaleel kardia. Itna mehroom kardia. itna mardood kardia. Main toba karta hoon. Tooba. (This was my pupil! This was my student! You degraded me so much? You abased me so much? Rejected me so much? I repent.) How to go in the fast way from mardood to makbool? Main tooba karta hon Ya Allah.. main is durangi se tooba karta hoon. Is bad denaati se tooba karta hon. is bewafai se tauba karta hoon. Mujhay rona naseeb huwa. Then shaykh says Allah accepted my repentence. Then I started to remember all of the Quran Kareem again. Then I started remembering all of the hadees again. And then shaykh Abdullah Andalusi went on to become one of the most maqbool awliya of Allah. One of the most maqbool muhadditheen. It is written in the biographies of muhadditheen that his dars of hadees after this incident was many times larger than his dars of hadees before this incident. So through his tauba. Through his humility. Though his realization. Through his worry that I have become rejected by Allah swt. Shaykh Abdullah Andalusi was able to return himself. And make himself makbool to Allah swt. So we can make this niyyat again on this night. That Ya Allah Ya rabbe kareem. You have said in Quran Oh Allah you yourself have said in quran that you have bought us from us. That you have bought ourselves, our health, our wealths our property. All that we have, we’re sold. Ya Allah hum bhi bikay huway hain. Ya Allah aap tou khareednay walay hain. Aap ne tou khareed lia. Ya Allah aapkay karam aur shafkat k khilaf hai k aap humain mardood karen. K aap khareedi hui cheez ko lotain. K aap khareedi hui cheez ko radd karen. Jitnay bhi khotay hum sikkay hain. Jitnay bhi buray hum musalman hain. Ya Allah hum phir bhi aapkay bikay huway hain. Aapkay hawalay bikay huway hain. Allah tala hamari bhi maghfirat kubol farmain. hamari bhi tauba kubol farmain. Humain bhi apnay momineen main shamil farmain. Humain bhi apnay makbooleen main shamil farmain, humain apni kuboliat naseeb farmain. Wa Aakhir -ud dawana...
