Wisdom From the Shaykh of Shaykhs - Group 7
73.) Die
before you die.
74.) The
one who knows one's soul, knows one's Lord.
75.) There
is no peace for a believer other than in meeting one's Lord.
76.) If
the believer's fear and hope were to be weighed, they would balance.
77.)
"Shall I tell you about your illnesses and its remedy?" They replied:
"Indeed, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Your illness is your sins, and
your remedy is repentance."
78.) Free
yourselves as much as possible, from your worldly concerns.
79.) The
Prophet said: Do not attend the circle of a learned person unless that individual asks you
to give up five things in favour of accepting five other things:
- doubt in
favour of belief;
-
hypocrisy in favour of sincerity;
-
worldliness in favour of asceticism;
- pride in
favour of humility;
- enmity
in favour of love.
80.) The
inability to weep is caused by hardness of heart; hardness of heart is caused by
multiplicity of sins; multiplicity of sins is caused by forgetfulness of death;
forgetfulness of death is caused by ambitious expectations; ambitious expectations are
caused by excessive love of the life of this world.
81.) The
Prophet said: "Verily, Satan may bait you with knowledge." When asked how would
that be, the Prophet replied that Satan would say to you: `Seek ye knowledge and do
nothing until ye master it.' Then people will continue to seek knowledge and defer action
until they finally die, having done nothing.
82.)
Prayer is only acceptable to Allah when the heart is aware.
83.) All
people are doomed to perish except those of action, and all people of action will perish
except for the sincere, and the sincere are at great risk.
84.) I
have been given all the Names and have been sent to perfect good behaviour.
