Teachings of Hakim al-Umma Mawlana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi & his spiritual successors, particularly 'Arifbillah Dr 'Abdul Hayy 'Arifi (may Allah bless them) and Sayyidi Mawlana Mufti Mohammad Taqi Usmani (may Allah preserve him) regarding Tasawwuf

Be thankful!

Posted May 16th, 2007 by 'abd

Grand-Shaykh Hadhrat Haji Imadadullah mohajir Makki (may Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘Most of the individuals (traversing the path) remain devoid (of the ma’arifa) because of being unthankful. They complain that we do excessive remembrance (dhikr) and spiritual exercises (shugal) but derive no benefit.

Whereas, in reality, being busy with Allah and His remembrance is a huge blessing in itself. If Allah would not have attracted (jazeb) you towards Himself would it had been possible for you to make His remembrance?

A slave (‘abd) should maintain his slavehood (bandegi), and (remember that) Allah is the Master with absolute authority. ‘
