Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

A man came to the Prophetﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, guide me to such an action which, if I do Allah will love me and the people will also love me."

Heﷺ said, "Have no desire for this world, Allah will love you; and have no desire for what people possess, and the people will love you."
Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith Hasan

Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق said, “You pray, but in your heart is jealousy. You pray, and in your heart is love for this life. You pray, and in your heart is selfishness. Sixty bad qualities can be in your heart. If only one of them stays, it is sufficient to destroy your faith.”

The root to all sin is the love for worldly life. Shaykh Bahauddin Adilق said in his recent Sohbah that the human eye is equally weighted to all the riches of this world. Everything within its scope of vision, is desirable and it wants to take possession, more and more, for as long as it is fixated upon this life, will it collect from it. Only at death, when earth has covered the human eye, will it begin to truly see the foolish chasing of an illusion.

Holy Prophetﷺ said, “Whoever loves his worldly life will suffer in his Hereafter, and whoever loves his Hereafter will suffer in his worldly life. Thus, prefer what is everlasting over what does not last.”
Sahih Ibn Ḥibbān 709

Every prophet was sent to divert the love of dunya towards love for akhirah. Hence, those in their graves are still looking at this worldly life, but only in regret, wishing to be returned to do more in charity and good deeds.

For this, Mawlanaق is reminding hisق mureeds to shift their focus towards the everlasting Hereafter and not chase after a temporary life, only to be in eternal suffering. The ‘awakening’ and awareness of the gaze of our Guideق being upon us is in reality, the gaze of RasulAllahﷺ upon hisﷺ Ummah and ultimately, the Gaze of Allah Almighty upon Hisﷻ creation.

Seeing with the eye of Truth will cause any believer to develop genuine fear for Allahﷻ. The All Seeing Eyes of Allahﷻ upon Hisﷻ servants must be enough to make a sincere one tremble in fear, to act or even think, in any way that may cause Hisﷻ displeasure.

May Allahﷻ cause us to focus our vision on the everlasting life with Himﷻ, and may we be amongst those purified from sins, with the Guidance of our Shaykh.
