Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, after the believers enter Paradise, when they drink from the pool of Kawthar of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, all the egoistic things in this world will disappear from a person.
When you enter Paradise, there will be no anger, no arrogance and no hostility. A person will enter Paradise pure and completely clean. Nothing of the sorrows of this world will remain after drinking from pool of Kawthar of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
But when they enter Paradise, some of the believers get sad. There is no sorrow in Paradise. In fact, no matter what happens, they don’t get sad. But they only get upset about one thing. Believers say that if there was one hour in dunyā when they haven’t remembered Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, they get upset about it.
“If only this hadn’t happened, we would have always remembered Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and made Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ.” They would get upset about that one thing. The more they see those gifts, the more they see The Paradise promised by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, its beauty and those beauties, they will say, “We have done little. Sometimes we didn’t remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.” And they will feel sad about it.
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, making Dhikr means remembering Allāh ﷻ. So, going about your work and remembering Allāh ﷻ is your greatest benefit. You can remember dunyā and mind your own business. You can remember work and worldly states. But if you remember Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ will make things easy for you. He ﷻ provides ease for you in dunyā and He ﷻ also elevates your rank in ākhirah.
In dunyā, when a person is sad, the only refuge is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Those who do not know Him ﷻ are always in distress. And they have spread their distress throughout the whole world. So, Muslims, non-Muslims and whoever there is are all the same. The only thing they are sad about is this dunyā. And what they don’t remember is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
To make Dhikr of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla means to remember Him ﷻ, thinking about Him ﷻ. Everything that reminds one of Allāh ﷻ is necessary for a believer. ‘Awliyā’, Prophets, Believers, Companions: remembering them, mentioning them is beneficial. They are the greatest benefit.
Shayṭān knows, and he prevents people from doing that. He says to Muslims, “You have committed shirk.” Whereas everything that reminds of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is beneficial for the believer. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “People who remind you of Allāh ﷻ are beautiful. Honor and respect them.”
To remember Allāh ﷻ – You won’t remember Him ﷻ when you see every person. You won’t remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla when you hear about every single thing. But when you hear about the ‘awliyā’, the companions, the believers you remember Him ﷻ.
Therefore, honoring and respecting them is among the adab of our ṭarīqah. Observing the adab of ṭarīqah will guide people to the beautiful way. May Allāh ﷻ not lead you astray from the right way, in shā’a Llāh. May He ﷻ guide people.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.
Al-Fatiha.
