Looking at the creation of Allah Ta’ala : the skies, the oceans, the flora and fauna, we see reflections of beauty and splendour. If Allah Ta’ala has granted a mere atom of beauty to His creation, then what of His beauty ?
Ponder over the most perfect Sifats (Attributes) of Allah Ta’ala: He is Khaliq, the One who creates from absolutely nothing. He is Baari, creating His creation with excellence in compatibility, conformity and unity. He is Musawwir; giving His creation uniqueness and beauty in form and shape.
Just look at the creation of the universe : the perfect harmony of the day and night; of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Reflect over the creation of Man : the different stages man has to pass through…infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. Consider the various organs of the body; their position, purpose and function.
Thus, we recognise the Greatness and Power of Allah Ta’ala in looking at the perfection in His Creation and in His system.
Then again, we cannot help but love that person who is generous, kind and who showers us with his favours and gifts. What then of the infinite generosity and benevolence of Allah Ta’ala ? He is Wah-haab, The Giver of All and Everything; Muqeet, The Giver of our sustenance; Kareem, The Most Generous One and Naafi’, The One who bestows gifts.
Consider the kindness and favour of Allah Ta’ala in creating us Ashraful Makhlukaat (The best of Creation), without us having even asked for such honour.
Allah Ta’ala says in Surah Teen :
“Verily, We created man of the best stature.”
[Surah Teen 95 : 4]
Added to this, without us deserving, He has blessed us with Imaan, Islam, and thereafter so many gifts; of sight, hearing, speech, intelligence, health, wealth, beauty, etc.
Allah Ta’ala states in the Qur`aan Sharief :
“…And if you count the blessings of Allah, you will never be able to enumerate them…”
[Surah Ibraheem 14 : 34]
Thus, we find that these attributes of Jamaal, Kamaal and Ihsaan are perfect in Allah.
Therefore O Saalik…
Change the Qiblah of your heartFrom ‘Laila’ to Maula.
-
That heart, whose Qiblah is towards the ‘Lailas’ of the world, is easily changed in keeping the company of those who have not only established the Qiblah of their hearts towards their Maula, but whose hearts have already made Sajda to their ‘Maula’ (Master).-
The cures, the antidotes and the treatments for the poison of sensual, illicit love are also obtained from these Ahlullah (Friends of Allah Ta’ala). Their company is akin to a dispensary and clinic, providing the curatives to the ailments of the spiritual heart.
Nevertheless and aside from this, the Aashiq of Allah Ta’ala remains happy and content in whichever condition his Beloved Allah keeps him.
His concern, however, is that Allah Ta’ala and Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) must be pleased with him and that he must not, in any way, incur their displeasure. …And the Love of Allah cannot be complete until the person loves Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) .
