Pleasing ALLAH Our Greatest Priority
Look at these amazing personalities, who even smile when their pious and devoted son passes away? Why? Simply due to the fact they were pleased with whatever Allah willed.
Dear Islamic brothers! We now move to the third and highest level of being pleased with what Allah decrees. Every Muslim must be upon this level, at least.
The master scholar and mystic, ꜤAbū ꜤAli Daqqāq رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه explains, “Being pleased and content with divine will does not mean one feels no difficulty at all. This means an individual should not complain to Allah.”[1]
If we are hurt in any way, if a calamity comes, if we break a bone, someone close to us passes away, we suffer financial loss or become ill; there is no issue being sad or crying when these things happen. There is no problem with feeling the effects of them. What a person should do, however, is not pay attention to any Satanic whispers that come during these events, nor complain in any way. They should totally be content with what Allah ordained to happen.
The Crown of the Saints, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlāni رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه explains, اَلْاِعْتِرَاضُ عَلَی الْحَقِّ مَوْتُ الدِّینِ وَ مَوْتُ التَّوْحِیْدِ وَ مَوْتُ التَّوَکُّل - “Objecting to Allah is the death of religion, tawḥīd, and tawakkul.”[2]
Dear Islamic brothers! Objecting to Allah is definite disbelief. The objector is a disbeliever and apostate. Sharīʿah, which every Muslim must follow, orders us to avoid objecting to Allah.
The Creator of everything is Allah. Imagine how insulting it is for His creation to then turn and object to Him. مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه If permission were given
