LOVE FOR ALLAH

lesson 6

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

The governor had no choice but to oblige. As soon as he went to the street and started begging, people noticed his face was not that of a beggar.
In those days people could recognize a person's status by looking at his face. The people told him; you are such a lazy man. Go do some work instead of begging.

This Beizzati of the governor was very difficult for him. However he continued begging and had to listen to everyone saying the same thing. No one gave him a cent.

After one year, the realization dawned on him; Ya Allah, there is absolutely no use putting my hand in front of people. It is only You who is going to give.
After three years of Qurbani, solid Mujahada, Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi Rahimahullah took him as there was no pride in the governor. Hadhrat said; now you have the Ijaazat to sit in my Majlis.
Until then he was not even allowed to sit in the Majlis of Hadhrat.

Now the governor's heart was purified. The love of Allah started building in his heart due to the pearls which came out of Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi in the Majlis. In a few months he rose to a very high level.
Until now Hadhrat Junaid did not know the name of the governor of Nahaawind. He asked him his name and the governor said; my name is Shibli.

Hadhrat Shibli Rahimahullah had completely destroyed his Nafs and ego through Mujahada and then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala granted him His Love in the companionship of Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi Rahimahullah.

Today also, everybody in their own capacity will have to undergo sacrifice, Mujahada to acquire the love for Allah.
Remember;
کچھ پانے کے لیے کچھ کھونا پرتا ہے
Kuch pane keliye Kuch khona parta hai
To achieve something you have to lose something.
There is always a sacrifice to make. If you are expecting with Aaraam for you to sit and everything will come to you is a dream. It does not happen.

You have to take the first step to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. If you are not going to take the first step to Allah, then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is not going to turn towards you.
We have to make the Himmat. It takes a lot of courage to take the first step to Allah;
To try and fulfil the commands of Allah and
To stay away from sins.

Hadhrat Maulana Hakim Akhtar Saab Rahimahullah used to say;
To become a Wali is very easy by carrying out the Faraaidh, Wajibaat, the Sunnah and staying away from one thing which is Ghuna. You do not need to spend entire nights in performing Nafl and Tahajjud. You do not need to spend your days in Roza.
All you have to do is to fulfil what Allah has told you and stay away from all sins and you will become a Wali in today's time of Fitnah.
In the past days you had to do the extra Mujahadaat of; staying up all night in Ibaadat which is not required today, as people have become much weaker.

Inshaallah May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give us the Tawfeeq to make the Mujahada and take the first step.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala grant us His True Love.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala fill our hearts with His True Love.
Once granting us this love, may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala never take away this love from us.

و آخر دعوانا ان الحمد لله رب العالمين
