Wisdom From the Shaykh of Shaykhs - Group 6
61.) The
best and most superior form of jihad (spiritual struggle) is the Hajj (pilgrimage) which
finds acceptance with God.
62.) The
Prophet has said that Satan never feels more dejected, crestfallen and humiliated than on
the day of Arafat. [The day of Arafat is one of the rites of Hajj in which the pilgrim,
following the example of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him), prays to Allah for the
forgiveness of sins.]
63.)
Guardian angels mind your works. When a work is good, they praise God, and when a work is
evil, they ask God to forgive you.
64.) When
people gather together to remember God (zikr): the angels surround them; mercy covers
them; peace descends on them, and God remembers them among those who are with God.
65.) Your
most hostile enemy is your soul, enclosed between your two sides.
66.) Live
in this world as if one were going to live here for a thousand years, and live for the
next world as if one were going to die tomorrow.
67.) One
day, upon returning from a battle with a physical enemy, the Prophet turned to his
companions and is reported to have said: "We come from the lesser jihad (the physical
struggle), and we go to the greater jihad (the struggle with our own nafs or lower
soul)."
68.) Take
advantage of a good opportunity when the door opens, for you never know when it will close
again.
69.) The
world is the farmland of the hereafter. Whoever plants good in it will harvest joy, and
whoever plants evil in it will harvest regret.
70.) One's
knowledge calls to be acted upon. If not satisfied, it will depart.
71.) A man
came to the Prophet and exclaimed: "O Messenger of God, I truly love you." The
Prophet replied: "Be, then, ready to wear the cloak of poverty."
72.)
People die in the state in which they lived, and they shall be resurrected in the state in
which they died.
