The Beauty of Following His ﷻ Orders

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created mankind in the most perfect way. Therefore, He ﷻ gave them the attributes He ﷻ wanted. Mankind is the highest creature among all creatures when they go according to the way and order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If they don’t go according to it, they are the lowest of creatures.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave mankind various things that other creatures do not have. The most important, He ﷻ gave mind and thought. But when mankind doesn’t go on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, there is no benefit. Because this world remains in this world. When you don’t do anything for Akhirah, whatever you do for Dunya will remain in Dunya, and nothing will follow you from here. But when you do for Akhirah, you will have it in Akhirah. You can strive and work as much as you want here, unless you think about Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you do it for your ego.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent all Prophets and told them all the orders. And Prophets are saying, “We are not asking for a wage from you. We are not asking for anything. Remember Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and carry out the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla”. Do this while dealing with your worldly work so that it doesn’t go for nothing and more importantly, before committing a sin. If you committed a sin, repent. When you repent, Allah ﷻ will turn your sins into Thawab. His ﷻ forgiveness and mercy are great.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not asking for any benefit from you in return. Allah ‘Azza waJalla doesn’t need us. We need Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. But because of His ﷻ mercy, do goodness, perform worship, be good people and you will reap its rewards. Who does this in this world, Allah ﷻ will put beauty in his heart. He ﷻ will give him beauty inside him and light on his face. And they will earn their Akhirah. Others who don’t go on this way feel distress on the inside. Their work doesn’t go well. They don’t enjoy anything. But their main disappointment and loss will be in Akhirah.

May Allah ﷻ protect us. May we be the way Allah ﷻ orders us to be insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ forgive us and show mercy to us insha’Allah. Because everything is in His ﷻ hands. May Allah ﷻ make us steadfast on this way.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
