by Sh.Umar Ibrahim Vadillo-
That is the nature of tariqah, you coming closer to Allah swt. If there is no sense of moving towards Him, that you get up and act, nothing will happen to you. You dont benefit, even though Allah swt gives you everything that you want. Without moving towards Allah swt, this does not help you at all in your journey to come closer to Him.
When you actively make that journey there is a sense of commitment associated with any action that you do for Him.
Science does not think – Martin Heidegger. He said that simply because that way of reasoning cannot think the truth. If you cannot think the truth, you cannot think. Science is completely heartless ( no heart)and therefore destructive. As long as you take science as a tool and compliment it alongside with your heart it is alright. But if you take Science as an ultimate, without your heart, it is an absolute danger.
It is not enough to use reason to comprehend the shariah. Attempt to bring this matter to the people with reasoning will have no effect. You may explain the contents of a book with all the reasoning that is needed and the other person who listens will say, 'Yes, I understand.' But he does nothing. So what have you achieved? What is worse is when the next time the same matter is brought to him he will say, 'Oh I know that subject already. You dont have to tell me.' Until he acts, he does not understand. Until he acts he has no knowledge. Reasoning stops him. That is the danger.
Reasoning is like a vaccine against any further knowledge to the listener. That stops him from serving Allah swt.
Haqiqah is witnessing Allah swt.
1.Allah has given you the tool, the Shariah, and this is what you have got to do.
2.Then you come closer to Him, this is the excuse of doing the journey.
3.The coming of serving Allah swt is the way of witnessing Him. Whatever you encounter in your journey is Him. By His Power, it is the manifestation of Him.
Unless you witness Allah swt, the gold dinar is useless. This for us, is the best opportunity for us to teach the people about Allah swt. I worship Him and I come closer to Him. And that is my journey. Remove your fantasy and He appears. In His appearing, it is your witnessing of Him. Its all within you. The path is already given.
Allah swt is our revolution. Hold on to that. This is the revolution of the truth. With this, success is inevitable. The very recipe of success. The moment you do it for other-than-Allah swt, failure is inevitable. When He takes away what you desire more, other-than-Him, it so that you know that He loves you.
Without the journey you take upon yourself, you cannot advance in these matters.
We take upon ourselves this affair, that we only do it for HIM. The only way that you can be protected in this journey is by taking it with Haqiqah.
The Arabs Today:
ReplyDeleteDuring that same period the full frantic and nihilistic rage of the Arab world which had floundered from the collapse of Nasserite socialism into a sea of conflicting forces, fell on the world as Terrorism. This had three causes. Firstly, the American Bankers’ Branch Office in the Middle East, called Israel.
Secondly, the military and financial acquisition of the Emirates and Arabia by the Bankers as they took control of the region’s oil wealth. Thirdly, the crushing of the post-Nasserite socialism that began to emerge with the Muslim Brotherhood, this meant the reduction of the only educated Arab nation to a state of intellectual and financial slavery under first Sadat and then Mubarak.
These three greedy and irresponsible policies of the new non-governmental system, which now controlled Senate, Assembly, and Parliament, led the dis-enfranchised, dis-inherited and degraded Arab people to fall into the terrible despair of nihilism, driving the Arab fathers to order their obedient sons to lash Semtex to their bellies and destroy themselves in a futile protest of the fathers’ inability either to control or to run their own lives.
