So You Want to be Something Huh?

“Unfortunately the condition of people (who are treading the path of Deen) today is that they want to quickly become “something” from the get-go before actually doing anything. I say to them, that even the fact that Allah Ta`ala accepts us to be involved and occupied with His Deen is a great status and bounty in itself. What more of a blessing can a person ask for than being occupied in the Deen of Allah Ta`ala.

As for that person who desires to become “something” and gain some name and status for himself through Deen, then remember this well…this person is a very unfortunate and deprived (mahroom) person. Annihilate your desires of status and name and remain busy in His servitude, being hopeful of His grace.

Never become hopeless of Him due to your weaknesses and shortcomings. Stand up and move (trusting in Him alone) and see how Allah makes all the difficulties easy and removes the obstacles.

The condition of treading this path is that one must have talab (the fervent desire) and the problem with us today is that we do not have the talab to attain Allah alone. DESIRE ALLAH ALONE, AND THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS.”

:jkk: for posting this. But who is the author if you don't mine me asking?

There is a reason i don't mention authors, because some *aherm* people put more emphasis on the person the hikmah came from rather than the hikmah itself

so if it is not somebody they are accustomed with they ignore the hikmah all together :rolleyes:

First time I heard that...I don't even know of many shaikhs and scholors atm so I wouldn't know who is right or wrong. How do you google such a long paragraph? I think it's pretty ignorant of people to pick and chose authors. I was just curious as to who said it.
