The Wise Words of Shaykh Abd al Qadir al Jilani
O man! Make up for the losses you have caused! Wash away the impurity of sins that has stained you! Correct the evils you have committed! The darkness of sin has covered your heart; wash this away! Return what you have taken unjustly!
Stop disobeying your Mawlā (Allah)! Stand at Allah’s door! There is no one besides Allah! If you stand at His door, you are truly His servants. Yet, if you turn your focus towards the creation (for example, being absorbed in earning wealth and neglecting the door of Allah, forgetting Him in the process), then you have become servants of it.
O man! Do not be lazy, for laziness only leads to endless loss and regret. Improve your deeds! Allah will bless you with reward in this world and the Hereafter.
When death comes to you, you will awaken from the sleep of heedlessness. Yet, at that time, such awakening will be of no use. O human! The company of evil people has made you suspicious of the righteous. Live your life in the light of the Book of Allah and the Prophet’s Sunnah, and success will be yours.
Have modesty before Allah in a manner befitting His right. Do not recklessly waste your time. You are busy accumulating wealth you will never fully use, dreaming of things you will never reach, and constructing buildings you will not live in forever. All of this has distracted you from Allah.
Undoubtedly, all goodness is with Allah, and all evil is with His enemies. Goodness is in presenting yourself before Allah! There is nothing but evil in running away from Him.
O mankind! You must remember death, be patient in times of hardship, and place your trust in Allah in every situation!
