Page 123 - from Volume Four (Display Image)Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of the Glory, what they describe and peace be upon the messengers and praise be to God, the Lord of the world Except for confusion, there is no collection from me, nor communication from you, and he says, I have connected you, then I say, I have nothing in hand. He says, He is the one whom I have delivered, so rely on him, and by God, take care. There is no one in the universe who knows but Him *** and who knows nothing but Him, so what does he know? And whoever realizes with the Creator a character *** God from ignorance protects him He who perceives with the creature truly *** sees him and what he sees and what you see God says the truth and He guides the way The four hundred and eighty-seventh chapter on knowing the state of Qutb was his home, and whoever does righteous deeds (whoever does righteousness), male or female, and he is a believer, then let us grant him a good life.Every thing has a balance *** Every thing has a deficiency and a preponderance The righteous have a weight that belongs to them *** and the wrong ones have a balance in the truth Whoever weighs in his volatility *** is happy, even if proof comes to him in that Because his balance and his reality *** even if Satan helped him in that That is why he said to whom and in his way *** of his creation he has no authority over him [ God replaces bad deeds with good deeds ]God Almighty said, Good things are for good men, and good men are for good women, and to Him ascend good words and good deeds. God knows what will lead to him in his eternity, so this good news will make easy for him the hardships and painful symptoms he will encounter, for God s promise is true, and His words are true, and He has been engaged with the word that does not change for Him. From the whole world, there are witnesses, including the eye of change in that, and I met someone who is in this condition in Mecca from the people of Tozeur from the land of silk, and I also met in Seville, Abu Al-Abbas Al-Oraibi, our sheikh from the people of Al-Alia in western Andalusia. Because he is the Most Forgiving, the Most Gracious, so his effort is accepted and his words are heard, and if there was nothing in the righteous deed except to associate his worker with the righteous and to give him this name, it would have sufficed, for it is the demand of the prophets, peace be upon him. And they are the highest sects of God s servants, and righteousness is the highest attribute to them, for God told us about them that, despite their being messengers and prophets, they asked God to enter them with His mercy among His righteous servants. Without disagreement, people are of the highest rank, and if some of them are superior to one another, and whoever attains righteousness from among the servants of God has attained what is below him, then he has the status of messengers and prophets, peace be upon him. Blessed righteous deeds without tasting these hardships, and from here you know what the Messenger and Prophet are called, and you know the meaning of it The saying of the Messenger, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, about a people for whom pulpits will be erected on the Day of Resurrection. They are not grieved by the greatest fear. They are not prophets whom the prophets will envy, as they saw their attainment of these statuses. With this condition, they are not responsible among the creatures. They did not enter into their work a defect from the time of their repentance. The permanent and those who know the citizen, the stations, the etiquette and the rule, so they judge their souls, and they walk according to it, as did their Lord |
