This is a fact that none can escape, yet you go after the treasures of
the world and renounce the Lord of Truth.
"Know that the life of this world is but a play and a passing delight
and a beautiful show, and the (cause of) your boastful) vying with one
another, and (of your) greed for more and more wealth and children."
(Quran: 57/20)
Look at this world with the eyes of your heart, youwill find it ugly
and loathsome; look at it with your physical eyes and it will lure you
to the side and slaughter you.
Be content with whatever Allah has decreed for you. Fear Allah in your
innermost being. Implement His commands.Once your heart complies with
the Divine Decree, theLord of Truth will grant you from sources you
never imagined:
"And whosoever is conscious of Allah, He will make a way for him to
getout (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources)
he never could imagine. And whoever puts his trust in Allah, then He
will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Indeed
Allah has sent a measure for all things." (Quran: 65/2-3)
Beg of His mercy; turn to Him with a heart full of sincere repentance.
"O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance." (Quran: 66/8)
Stand before your Lord with humility, implore the Dispenser of Grace
by His Most Beautiful Names and Attributes of perfection. If He
fulfills your wish, increase in your gratitude and servitude to Him.
If Hedenies your request, then succumb to the Divine Decree of the
All-Wise witha submissive heart. Do not argue or object to His will.
Always remember:
"…Allah knows and you know not." (Quran: 24/19)
Allah disposes of everything as He wills, andcommands as He wills:
"He is not to be questioned about what Hedoes, though they are subject
to His questioning." (Quran: 21/23)
If wealth and happiness are destined for you, they will come to you at
their appointed time according to the Divine Decree of Allah, the Lord
of the heavens and the earth. Do not be greedy but be moderate because
you willreceive all that was written for you. If you do so, you will
earn the displeasure of the All Mighty, and lose all spiritual comfort
in this life. Maalik Ibn Deenaar once said: "If you want to acquire
true knowledge of Allah, the All Mighty, then consent to His
management and planning. Make not your mind and desire, passion or
will associates to Him."
O you of sound health but weak heart! Wake up and run to your Creator
with repentance on your tongue, tears in your eyes, and sincerity in
your heart.Cry before Him, before others cry for you. Make haste, O
heedless one!
"Has not the time come forthe hearts of those who believe to be
affected by Allah's Reminder…?" (Quran: 57/16)
Remove the veils of darkness that have corroded your heart. Adornit
with His fear and love.
Do you not fear the moment when you will stand before your Lord? There
will be no screen between Him and you, noran interpreter to translate
for you. And your Creator will question you. You will find nothing to
your left nor to your right but the blazing Fire of Hell. Do what the
Prophet of Allah advised you, if you truly fear Allah:
"…So let each of you protect himself against Hell-Fire, be it even
with half a date - and if he findsnot, then with a kind word."
You are the servant, He is the Master. Prayers come from you, answers
come from Him. Abstinence comes from you, protection comes from Him.
Repentance comes from you, acceptance comes from Him. Go towards him
walking, He will come to you running.
Make your deeds pure for His sake alone, and He will extend His mercy
to you. Upload His religion, and Hewill extend His bounty to you.
Follow the Sunnah of His beloved, and He will extend His love to you.
Look forward to your meeting with Allah. It will be very soon. Sooner
than you can imagine! Make preparations for this meeting. Get rid of
the love of this world from your heart; free it from everything other
than the Lord of Truth. Do not buy the world and pay with the
hereafter as a price. Donot sell the hereafter to acquire this world.
"…Shall We tell you who are the greatest losers in whatever they may
do? Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they
thought they were acquiring good by their deeds…" (Quran: 18/103-104)
The Most Wise did not create you to gratify your base desires and
passions, nor did He create you for fun, amusement, eating, drinking,
sleeping, or having sex!
"I have created the Jinns and the humans solely to worship Me." (Quran: 51/56)
But you are so heedless as if you have drunk the elixirof immortality.
You think that the Angel of Death will never squeeze your soul out of
your body?
