The Meccan Revelations: al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya

Inspiring quotes from the Meccan Revelations (... more)


The air and the believer are better in the eyes of God than a bird, so how can he count the dignity of someone who shares it with a bird? And so he explained all of what we mentioned. Then my God said, “A people have sought you for what they mentioned, so you occupied them with it and qualified them for it. Oh God, no matter how you qualify me for something, qualify me for one of your things,” he says, “of your secrets.” So what Seek nothing but knowledge, because it is the best masterpiece and the greatest dignity, and if the argument is established against you, it will make you confess and not argue, for you know what you have, what you owe, and what is his. And God Almighty did not command his Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, to ask him for an increase in anything except knowledge, because all goodness is in it. It is the greatest dignity, and idleness with knowledge is better than ignorance with work, and the reasons for obtaining knowledge are many, and by know

Know that knowledge is a source of mercy. I have taught you what dignity is and that it is the divine definition that this which He bestowed on you is a blessing from Him that does not detract from your portion in the hereafter nor is it a reward for any of your deeds except simply because of your coming, and that your coming to it was only due to your ignorance of it. You did not see him at the beginning, as was agreed upon by Abu Yazid when he set out to seek the truth from Bastam at the beginning of his mission. Some men met him and said to him, “What are you asking for, Abu Yazid?” God said, “What you are seeking I left in Bastam.” So Abu Yazid realized how to seek it, when God Almighty says, “And He is with you wherever you are.” There is neither knowledge nor faith, so if God forbids you to acquire the knowledge of witnessing it, then there is nothing less than belief in it. That is why we said: “He did not come to it except from his ignorance.” And since this group had no c

Abandoning one's dignity is not evidence *** I stand by what I say, for it is the most upright speech

The existence of dignity may be due to the good fortune of the honorable person, and then his path becomes bad.

So be careful of the knowledge you are assigned to him. *** Do not take anyone but God as an alternative.

p>

Covering one's dignity is a fulfilled duty *** among men, so do not be disgraced

And its appearance among the messengers is an obligation *** and with it His revelation is revealed.

Just as the verses and miracles are obligatory for the Messenger to reveal them for the sake of his claim, likewise it is obligatory for the follower’s guardian to conceal them. This is the doctrine of the group because he is not a claimant and he should not claim, for it is not a law and the balance of law is established in the world. It has been established by graphic scholars and those who issue fatwas in the religion of God, so they are masters. Defamation and amendment, and this guardian, no matter how much he departs from the balance of the established Sharia, with the presence of the mind of obligation in him, his condition is granted to him due to the possibility that is in the soul of the Most Merciful in his right, and he is also present in the legal balance. If he appears with an order that requires a limit on the apparent meaning of the Sharia, it is established with the ruler, the limits are imposed on him, and it is necessary and that does not protect him. The possib

Then abandoning dignity may be starting from God, which is that He, the Almighty, does not enable this guardian in Himself to do any of that altogether, despite the fact that He is in His view one of the greatest of His servants, and I mean breaking apparent customs, not knowledge of God, and this guardian may be given to him by God Almighty. He has the ability to do that in himself, so he leaves it all to God, so nothing of it appears to him at all. We have seen a group of those who are at this level, as our master Abu Al-Saud bin Al-Shibl, the wisest man of his time, said, and some of those who did not conceal anything about his condition asked him, “Has God given you discretion, which is the origin of karamah?” He said, “Yes, fifteen years ago, and we left it as a matter of circumstance. The right to do so is ours.” He meant, may God be pleased with him, that he complied with the command of God Almighty to take him as a representative. Then the questioner said to him, “What?” T
