The Path of Allaah The Most Wise
- All that we are is the result of our intentions (niat): it is founded on our clear conscience, it is made up of our beliefs and creeds. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, he must not do it, because that is sin. The ship of ship crews could deliver all the passengers to the land if they direct the ship towards the right direction.
- All that we are is the result of what we have in our hearts: it is founded on our minds, it is made up of our faith. If a man speaks or acts with pure thoughts, many delights, mercyfullness and many blessings will follow him. And without all that he will be people who gain losses. And Allaahu Tabaarakaa Ta’ala guides whoever He wills.
- "He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,"-- people who are patient and full of gratitude, for him the acts of tolerants and compassion.
- "He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,”-- people who are believe they will return to Allaahu ‘Azza wa Jalla and trust that they will meet Him, to them the place which full of praises
For Allaahu Subhanaahu Ta’ala’s mercy and compassion preceeded His anger and wrath.
- The infidels like to try to extinguish the light of Allaahu Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala.
- Kaafirun they eat like will beasts in this world, while those who always have full stomach will be the hungriest people on the afterworld.
- He who is having pure intentions and doing good deeds, he shall become the people of sight and the people of knowledge, and whose being protected from the eternal Hellfire, they are the luckiest people.
- He who wishes not to the dipping of Allaahu Jalla Jalaaluhu who disregards temperance and truth, they are only those people who do not do what they already said and then they lie.
- But he who wants to be cleansed for his sin, is well grounded in all virtues, and regards also temperance and truth, he is indeed worthy of title “people who submit themselves to the wish of Allaahu Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala, to them no fear and no worries.
- They who lie, and wish that the path of Allaahu Ta’ala to be bend, their acts of misleading people will make them as the worshippers of their own vain desires.
- They who are instructing good deeds and forbidding bad deeds, they are guided, and the goodness will always follow his honesty and integrity.
- As rain breaks through an ill-thatched fortress, those who do not ask for the forgiveness of Al Ghafuurur Rahiim (The Most Forgiving and The Most Compassionate) and do not repent to the At Tawwaabur Rahiim (The Most Relenting and The Most Compassionate), their mistakes and sins will be burden unto them for the sake of his lazyness and stingyness to repent and from asking the forgiveness of Al Haliimur Rahiim (The Most Patient, Generous and the Most Compassionate). And Allaahu Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala is Al Jamiil (The Most Beautiful), Al ‘Aziizul Hamiid (The All Mighty and The Most Praiseworthy) and He leads people to His straightest path, He is Al Hakiimul Khabiir (Most Forbearing and Most Understanding).
- As rain does not break through a well-thatched fortress, those who submit their passion to his Lord for acquiring the pleasure of Allaahu Jalla Jalaaluhu and hoping for His accountance in the Day of Judgement, Allaahu Jalla Syana’uh will give him the light and guidance in this world and in the afterworld.
- These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they ain’t people who are guided (Al Baqarah 2:16). The evil-doer gain losses in this world, and he mourns in the next; he mourns for both. He mourns and suffers when he sees the evil of his own work.
- O ye people! Adore your Guardian-Lord, who created you and those who came before you, that ye may have the chance to learn righteousness; The virtuous man delights in this world, and he delights in the next; he delights in both. He delights and rejoices, when he sees the purity of his own work.
- The evil-doer suffers in this world, and he suffers in the next; he suffers in both. He suffers when he thinks of the evil he has done; he suffers more when going on the evil path.
- But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before," for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (for ever) (Al Baqarah 2:25). The virtuous man is happy in this world, and he is happy in the next; he is happy in both. He is happy when he thinks of the good he has done; he is still more happy when going on the good path.
- When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say: "We are really with you: We (were) only jesting, They say, "We could recite a large portion (of the law), we are people of knowledge.”
- The follower of the law, even if he can recite only a small portion (of the law), but, having forsaken passion and hatred and foolishness, possesses true knowledge and serenity of mind, he, caring for nothing in this present or that to come, has indeed a share in the position of becoming as the people of knowledge.
~ Azm (Earnestness) ~
(Characterized by or proceeding from an intense and serious state of mind)
- Earnestness is the path of immortality in Jannatu ‘Adn (Heaven), thoughtlessness the path of death. Those who are in earnest do not die, those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.
Al Imran (3):122 Remember two of your parties Meditated cowardice; but Allah was their protector, and in Allah should the faithful (Ever) put their trust.
Al Imran (3):159 It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee: so pass over (Their faults), and ask for (Allah's) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then, when thou hast Taken a decision put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).
Al Imran (3):160 If Allah helps you, none can overcome you: If He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? in Allah, then, Let believers put their trust.
22. Those who are advanced in earnestness, having understood this clearly, delight in earnestness, and rejoice in the knowledge of the the elect.
- Al Maidah (5):23 (But) among (their) Allah-fearing men were two on whom Allah had bestowed His grace: They said: "Assault them at the (proper) Gate: when once ye are in, victory will be yours; But on Allah put your trust if ye have faith."
Al A’raf (7):89 "We should indeed invent a lie against Allah, if we returned to your ways after Allah hath rescued us therefrom; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto unless it be as in the will and plan of Allah, Our Lord. Our Lord can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge. In the Allah is our trust. our Lord! decide Thou between us and our people in truth, for Thou art the best to decide."
These wise people, meditative, steady, always possessed of strong powers, shall attain the blessings of Allaahu Jalla Syana’uhu, the highest possible happiness.
- Al Maidah (5):11 O ye who believe! Call in remembrance the favour of Allah unto you when certain men formed the design to stretch out their hands against you, but (Allah) held back their hands from you: so fear Allah. And on Allah let believers put (all) their trust.
If an earnest person has roused himself, if he is not forgetful, if his deeds are pure, if he acts with consideration, if he restrains himself, and lives according to the law,--then his glory will increase.
By rousing himself, by earnestness, by restraint and control, the wise man may make for himself an island which no flood can overwhelm.
- Al An’aam (6):89 These were the men to whom We gave the Book, and authority, and prophethood: if these (their descendants) reject them, Behold! We shall entrust their charge to a new people who reject them not.
Fools follow after vanity, men of evil wisdom. The wise man keeps earnestness as his best jewel.
