Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says:

“The souls are troops collected together and those who had a mutual familiarity amongst themselves in the store of prenatal existence would have affinity amongst them, (in this world also) and those who opposed one of them, would be at variance with one another.”

When souls were created on the Day of Qalu Bala -, just as people are familiar with each other now, they met each other back then. Similarly, some of them loved each other then, and some didn’t like each other, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ.

What happened then? Those who loved each other back then, love each other when they come to this world and meet one another. And those who didn’t like each other, don’t like each other in this world as well. On the day of Qalu Bala, when souls were created, our bodies had not been created yet. And when they were created and came to this world, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave the souls to those bodies. The souls didn’t change.

A soul is the secret that only Allah ﷻ knows. No one knows it. But those who loved each other before, love each other in the same way when the souls enter their bodies. And those who didn’t like each other, hate one another in the same way; they don’t conform and they dislike each other.

Some people get surprised why they don’t like someone. It’s because it is something pertaining to the Day of Qalu Bala. Therefore, to love someone has been written since that time in the destinies of people with the secret of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Some of this secret is revealed when we come to this world. And it is revealed even more

Therefore, it is the same in this world. However, you should love for the sake of Allah ﷻ and hate for the sake of Allah -, “Al-hubbu fi Llah wa lbughdu fi Llah.” [Hadith]. If you love those beloved by Allah ﷻ, how lucky you are that Allah ﷻ has put you around those beautiful people. When Allah ﷻ lets you love good people, it is a great favor. And not to love bad people is not in our hands. It is something given by Allah ﷻ.

Therefore, during life in this world, people should pay attention to loving good ones so that they are among good ones, among beautiful ones. We don’t have to love bad ones, oppressors, polytheists and those who don’t know Allah ﷻ. We don’t love them. We love those who love Allah ﷻ, the Prophet ﷺ, Awliya, Sahabah and Ahlu l-Bayt. It is a great favor too. We don’t love those who don’t love them. We don’t have to love them. As we said, it is in our souls. You cannot force it. You cannot win anyone’s heart in this world, not by force or money, not by beating or loving, not by torturing. It is the grant and love of Allah ﷻ. It is a favor given by Allah ﷻ insha’Allah.

Our Tariqa is the Tariqa of love. All Tariqas are like this, but the Naqshbandi Tariqa is on their top. It loves beautiful people and it doesn’t love oppressors and those who make judgments as they like. May Allah ﷻ let us be with good ones and make our hearts always love good people insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
