The Wise Words of Shaykh Abd al Qadir al Jilani
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
In the noble Quran, Allah Almighty declares in the 15th verse of Surah Luqmān:
وَّ اتَّبِـعْ سَبِیْلَ مَنْ اَنَابَ اِلَیَّۚ-
And follow the path of the one who returns to Me ˹in repentance˺,[1]
Dear Islamic brothers! In this verse, we are commanded to walk upon the path of those who turn towards Allah Almighty. This refers to those who perfectly obey Him.
Without any doubt, the most outstanding personality to turn to Allah Almighty is our Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .
Through him, the noble Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم also became those who turned to Allah Almighty. Then, we look at the Awliyāˈ رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ – they too turned to Allah Almighty.
اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه Imam Abū Ḥanīfah, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī, Dātā Ganj Bakhsh, Khawājah MuꜤīn al-Dīn al-Ajmayrī, and Imam Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ – all of them, along with every saint, turned to Allah Almighty.
In other words, this verse tells us to walk the path of Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , the noble Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم , the blessed saints, and the illustrious Sunni scholars رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ .[2]
Why? Because these are the personalities who walk the path of truth; the path leading to Paradise, the path of Allah Almighty. These esteemed individuals are upon the straight path; the Ṣirāṭ al-Mustaqīm.
