Dear steemian friends.
(peace be with you)
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jailani said: "A salik must be able to use his mind and his inner vision.
The poet said, "Verily Allah has servants who use their minds, abstain from the deceit of the world and scare the trials. They made the world a bridge and made righteous deeds as an ark; look to the end of every matter and always think about the consequences. They are not deceived by the sweetness of outward behavior. "
While Sufism experts say, "People who are studying secularization sometimes forget about who changed it." Allah SWT berfirman, “No one feels safe from the punishment of Allah other than the losers.” (QS. Al-A’raf [7]: 99)
Therefore, in the Qudsi Hadith Allah says to Prophet Muhammad SAW, "O Muhammad, convey the happy news to the sinner because I am Forgiving and warn the righteous that I am very wary."
Indeed, the caravans of the saints are true; all ahwal the wali is true, but all that can not be separated from makar of Allah SWT and istidraj. Another case with the miracles of the prophets because the miracles of the prophet are safe from all that forever. So it is said, "The fear in Su'ul Khatimah is the cause of his survival from Su'ul Khatimah."
Sayyid Hasan Al-Bashri said, "Verily, Allah's guardians are elevated to the degree of heaven of Illiyyin out of fear. His fear is higher than his expectation, so as not to fall by the nature of bashariyah so as to break the journey (ruhaniahnya) due to not alert."
Some scholars say, "When a man is in good health, his fear must be greater than his expectation; and when sick, his hope must be greater than his fear. "
The Prophet (s) said, "If we weighed the fear and hope of a believer both would be balanced, but if it were deprived of grace, then his hope for God is greater."
