Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen – Khalifatul Masih I – The Way of the Righteous — Page 42
Pilgrimage to Mecca 41 My child always put your trust in the Almighty and recognize His presence ever and that He is ever watchful over you and always yearn for His obedience. Make prayer a regular habit. Offer prayer at its time; always make the recitation of the Holy Qur'an a habit except the days when it is not allowed. Keep Fast in the month of Ramadhaan, pay Zakat and perform Hajj. Keep away from nagging, lies and accusation, and avoid vulgar stories so common among women. Do not sit in the company of such women engaged in vein talks. Always write a letter to me. Knowledge is wealth; the more you acquire it, the more it increases. Teach the Holy Qur'an to small girls. Speak softly and keep your manners polite. Observe the veil. In addition to the Holy Qur'an, study the books, like Mir ’ at-ul- ‘ Uroos etc. I entrust you to God, He may be your Protector and Helper, and keep yourself busy in good works. Wassalam.
