Harms of holding high hopes
Prayer of ‘Attar
O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Whoever performs the 12-day Madani course, bless him with crossing the Siraat bridge with the speed of lightning and entering Heaven without accountability in the neighbourhood of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
مدنی اِنعامات کی بھی مرحبا کیا بات ہے
قُربِ حَق کے طالبوں کے واسطے سوغات ہے
How excellent are the Madani In’amaat, Marhaba!
A great gift for the seekers of the closeness of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Summary of speech
§ The king of Basra indulged in worldly luxuries and pleasures due to high hopes. When the fire of high hopes was extinguished in his heart and the darkness of heedlessness was removed, he paid attention to repentance. He became sick of sins and lost interest in the world. By the blessing of giving up high hopes and feeling ashamed of sins, he met his death with repentance.
§ Deceived by high hopes, man thinks that he will live a long life and will perform good deeds later on but he meets his death while having the same thoughts.
§ High hopes ruin one’s deeds. It makes a person indulge in carnal desires, which makes him helpless and lazy.
§ One who does not have high worldly hopes does not commit sins fearlessly. He hurries to repent. He always considers his death to be very near. Our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی would avoid having high hopes.
