Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Phase by phase, waxing then waning, the moon gradually changes with Allah’s ﷻ Command. Similarly, a believer begins his/her journey towards purity, phase by phase, in a steady progression.
Allah ﷻ gradually Shows and Opens knowledge of Islam for those chosen to receive the greatest gift called Faith (Iman).
Such one then embarks on a Spiritual hijrah (migration), leaving all badness and kufr (disbelief).
The Holy Prophet ﷺ and his ﷺ closest companion, Sayyidina Abu Bakr As-Siddiqر, made a physical hijrah from Mecca to Madinah as Ordered by Allah.
It was also here on this journey of hijrah, in the cave of Mount Thawr, that the soul of every person chosen to receive guidance from the Golden Chain of Naqshbandi Spiritual Masters were gathered, to perform the first Khatam Khawajagan.
What an incredible honour! A priceless gift.
Only those present in that blessed cave were destined to follow in this Way.
It had been written for them, long before their physical existence. Their souls already had an inclination towards this Way and would somehow find it, in earthly life.
The miracle of life had paved the way towards re-discovering this priceless gift.
The soul now with its earthly body, go on a learning journey, slowly being dressed with knowledge of dunya and progressing towards the inclination to finding a Waliyan Murshida (Spiritual Teacher).
After some time, the sincere student will find an even stronger inclination towards doing more and more goodness. Bit by bit leaving old, undesirable traits solely to seek servanthood in Allah’s ﷻ Pleasure.
The Gift of Tariqah, is worth the world and its contents.
It is only through Tariqah, with a true Guide, will one have the soul polished and the egoistic-self evaporated, to be in complete obedience to Allahﷻ.
Ponder over His ﷻ uncountable Gifts.
There is no way one can thank The Bountiful Sustainer for His ﷻ Endless Oceans of Bestowal, except, to give oneself to Him ﷻ in complete surrender to His ﷻ every Choice and Will.
Allah ﷻ Wants nothing but goodness for us. He ﷻ Apportions everything with Love, always with our best interest put forward. There is no need to be jealous of others. What we have is perfect for us.
Ask to be granted syukur (true thankfulness) for every gift, from the gift of Guidance to having a healthy functioning body.
May Allah ﷻ grant us the gift to upkeep the goodness we have been bestowed with, under true Guidance and may we not be misguided in these tumultuous times.
May we be granted the gift of complete surrender to the Will and Choice of Allah ﷻ, for Allah ﷻ to always Choose for us and for us to be granted an eagerness to be with Him ﷻ.
