I'm reading from As-Sutba of Mulan. We believe there is a face of Allah Almighty, says our Grandshaykh, but a description of his face is not imagination. You may imagine one face and he, another, and so on. If yours is right, what about ours?
We cannot describe all the attributes of Allah Almighty. We just know that He has them. The greatest pleasure and the highest honor for mankind.
is to be in the Divine Presence. The greatest pleasure and the highest honour for mankind is to be in Allah's Presence, looking at Allah's face. This honour is privately for a few that worship only Allah.
asking nothing from this dunya or the next. Their heart is with their Lord. Their heart is with Allah. They say, I like you not for your palaces or gardens. I like you not for your palaces or Jannah.
I like you. You, O Allah, I like you only. Worship.
Wherein one is not interested in dunya or spiritual pleasures. To place one of these worshippers in Jannah. would be to put him in prison. To place one of these abids, of these worshippers in paradise, would be to put him in prison. On the judgment day, Allah will order.
His servants to be taken to paradise. Take Arif to paradise. Take Boy to Jannah.
He tells his malaikas. He tells his angels. But he escapes and returns.
Then the order comes. Again, he escapes and says, my Lord, my Allah, I don't want these things. I want you.
Then down upon him comes Nur and he disappears, gone into the presence of Allah Azza wa Jalla. People like this know which thing is cheap and which thing is valuable. If they are shown a piece of glass and a diamond, they choose the diamond.
How can anyone with good mind choose to leave the Lord of the Universe? How can anyone with good mind choose to leave Allah Azza wa Jal? He is the Khaliq. He is the Creator.
the owner of all things, except the goods that Allah gives. But in your heart, always say, Oh my Lord, we are asking for you only. Accept good positions.
Accept your risk. Accept your good wife, good husband, good children, good fortunes that Allah gives. But in your heart, always say, Ya Allah, we are asking for you only.
Every Friday in Jannah, Allah removes the veil of His face. All people there. who choose paradise instead of Allah, immediately quit whatever they are doing and look upon it.
At that time, there is no more sweetness or pleasure in anything else. For those who wanted him, for those like our Murshid Shahnazim and those sincere murids of our Grand Sheikh. For those who really wanted Allah, however, they are before his face eternally. And Allah's failed Jannah, beautified by the lights of his beautiful names, numerous as the smallest pieces of the universe, and bathed in the light of his greatest name, and bathed.
in the light of his greatest name. Each name of Allah is an ocean of beauty and light and pleasures with countless private areas and secret mercies. The greatest name.
covers all. Allah says, Ya Muhammad, all of this for your nation. Ya Muhammad, all of this is for your Ummah.
For your Ummah. Give him this and more. And so, We believe more and more. Respect one another and give trouble to no one.
Wa min Allahi tawfiq wa l-hidayah. Fatiha. Ameen. Alhamdulillah,
