The tariqah is a great Wisdom

The tariqah is a great Wisdom

Some people create conflict and consider as enemies those who do not enter into Tariqah. How can you blame them? It is better to do shukr and express gratitude for having the tariqah, it’s not a small thing at all. We must do shukr and be thankful to Allah for all He has been giving and do not blame others. How can you blame them for what is deprived by Allah?

As I used to tell you, in my youth my late mother often visited the village of `Urib. She was telling me about the ustaz, and I used to object, saying that there could be no ustazes in akhir zaman. But this was until the predetermined moment only. When the moment arrived, I found these ustazes. It is the way life goes. We cannot have low opinion of those who are not in the tariqah. And if someone does not want to believe, then pray to Allah for His guidance for him too.

Sometimes it happens that out of two friends one is on a wrong path while another is on a righteous one. And if the latter will fail to call to Islam his friend on the wrong path, then it can be that the wrong doer, being brought in front of Allah, will point to the righteous friend with words, “He did not say anything, though he was my friend, and he did not guide me to the true path.” So even for this reason, try to avoid arguing among each other, instead, brother to his brother, neighbor to his neighbor, friend to his friend, please call to Islam, explain and teach it.

Today, despite being such a hot sunny day, so many people gathered here because of the barakat coming from the great ones. Thank you to all who came to visit us and the villagers. May Allah bring us together on Judgment Day under the banner of Liwaul-hamd [3] like we gather today, inshaAllah! I hope that today only true believers came here. Certainly there are spies everywhere, so if they are here, then let them be. Likewise here may be believers (mu’mins) only. So today inshaAllah, we hope that with the help of Allah we will gather in the Akhirat just like we did here.

May Allah accept your ziyarah and amplify rewards thousand fold for those who built the madrasa, who helped it and all the jama’ah! Brother Muhammad was too critical about his madrasa. This is not really so, there is no need to denigrate your ulama but yet there is need to make greater efforts, and may Allah help in this!
