Akhlaaq-Tasawwuf

The Deen

Deen is the favour of Allah Ta'ala to humanity. It is a way of life which guarantees complete success in Dunya and Aakhirah. Turning the back onto Deen is turning the back onto the favour of Allah Ta'ala which is tantamount to ingratitude. Ungrateful people are not praiseworthy or appreciable. That is why a person who does not follow the Deen is detestable in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala. How can a person be appreciable when he is detestable to Allah Ta'ala?

Multi millionaire ... without a penny

You are already a multi millionaire if your hands and feet are sound. So, make Shukr to Allah Ta'ala and thank him for bringing you into existence on this earth without giving you a disease that may not have been cured by spending millions.

Upside down

Long ago, people used to find it cumbersome to wear this small topee made of cloth during Salah. They used to make all types of excuses not to wear it. Yet, they follow fashions without asking questions. They follow the fashions of fujjaar, fussaaq and kuffaar without realising how ridiculous they look and appear. Just when it comes to following the Sunnah, they make all types of excuses. They invent all types of pretexts not to follow. This is an imbalance that makes people see things upside down. One finds important things futile and vice-versa.

The helmet

As soon as the law of wearing a helmet on the head was issued, people no more suffer headaches to wear it as he used to suffer when wearing the topee to perform Salah. You are grateful to people who remind you to wear the helmet on the head. Otherwise, you will have to put your hand in your pocket [to pay a fine]. But, if people have to tell you something about Deen, then without hesitation and vehemently you would tell him: "Is this your problem? Mind your own business! Does this concern you?" And other similar remarks.

Desire

Everyone has a desire. Some people want to become rich. Others love grandeur and popularity. There are several fields in Dunya. Everyone loves a certain field and has a burning desire to succeed in it. In short, we can say that there is a category of people who loves the worldly things. And there is another category whose greatest desire is to please Allah Ta'ala. In reality, every Muslim must be in this second category. That is, his main desire must be to please Allah Ta'ala. Such a life is a valid, profitable and honourable life.

The total - The subtotal

When a person does a calculation and forgets to include a certain number, then it is normal that he will not get the required result. That is, his calculation will not be correct. In the same way, when a person tries to build his future but forgets to include certain factors or he minimises its importance, then he will definitely commit errors in planning his future. For example, if a person only considers his life in Dunya, he will find certain work, businesses or professions profitable and beneficial.

Taqwa and success

Taqwa means obedience to Allah Ta'ala. Obedience to Allah Ta'ala is achieved by implementing the commandments of Allah Ta'ala by following the Tareeqah and the principle of our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). And in simple language, this is what is called following the Deen.
