This lecture was delivered by Sheikh
Afeefuddin on 19th Feb 2013 at Al Wariseen Trust :
We have the best example in Saidina Rasulullah,
He once said : “..the best century is of that during my
century…sahaba and tarbe’in, and tarbu-tarbe’in…they are the best of examples…”
Our lives nowadays are changing veru fas, it use to be our
house have only one phone, one land line..and when some one is using it the
others cannot use, we have to wait until that person finishes, but now its
open, its free, we have Facebook, Twitter and otheres.…and these things can be
use in two ways, like glass, it can be used for drinking water or for drink
alcohol!
With this new lifestyle we have difficulty to live…it have
become more difficult because we live with fitnah and family find it difficult
to raise family…but during Saidina Rasullulah’s time the fitnah it even worse…”fitnah
ad-deen”…people have more challenges with fitnah ad deen during his early time
to spread ISLAM but ALHAMDULILLAH he and they manage to cross this fitnah…but
our fitnah of this lives is actually small compared to those times..but yet we
easiky succumb to it and loose our deen under this so called “better”
lifestyle.
How they overcome the problems? their faith in HIM is stronger and they
recognize the purity without existence of any doubt. this can only be develope
with STRONGGG IMAN, throw away any from of doubt....create TRUST in HIM and HE
will GIVE...unfortunately nowadays people are fond to say..."show me first
and then I will trust"...with ALLAH, we shouldn't do like this.
***
since we are in the month of Rabi’ul AKHIR, we are
celebrating the month because Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani – the SULTANS of AULIYA
passed away on 11th of this month - Rabiul Akhir. We may ask
ourselves “How he reach the level of maqam that he is…?”
It is said that Hazrat Sheikh I tried to go near ALLAH thru
entering thru many “doors”…and whenever he try he finds see there are many
doors, and even more are the many number of people at these “doors”, …doors of
solat, hajj, fasting, doors of charity, of sincerity and doors of good virtues,…these doors are crowded
with people, however he notice there is a door with no one (little people) there…it’s
a door of humility…and when he
entered this “door” ..Allah Blessed me with great acceptance…because at that
door you are his servant, you give everything away about yourself and only
recognize that there is NOTHING but just HIM and you will gain from whatever grace
that HE gives you and your humility save you from destruction. He said…”it is thru
humbleness that ALLAH will help us…”
…to be continued…
