KALAM E SHEIKHULAM ENGLISH 5

Let thou glaze thy soul like the glass. Thus reality can thou ascertain. Stare not thy vile being. Die Before You Die That is Mediation. ‪#‎ kalame‬ ‪#‎ sheikhulalam‬ “Die before you die” is a well known Hadith. Being familiar with this Hadith, a man asked Shaikh AbdulQadir Jilani, “How do I die?” He, Allah Bless his soul,said: “Cease following your mind, desire, carnal self (nafs), passions, karma and common habits. Abstain from seeking the people, desiring what they have orasking them for alms. Give up on them and stop associating them with Allah’s will in the giving or withholding. Ask nothingfrom anyone besides Allah Almighty. Let allyour deeds be done for Allah’s sake and for the pleasureof his Divine Countenance, not for the sake of reward or favor. Accept His Management, Judgment and Doing. When you do so, you will be dead to yourself, but alive in Him. Your heart will become his abode. He turns it as He Pleases, and your heart will be transferred to the Ka’aba of His proximity. You will hold fast to its covering cloth (sitra), alwaysremembering Him, praising Him and forgetting aboutanything else. Today the key to Paradise is the proclamation: La illaha il-Allah, Muhammadur-Rasul Allah (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) Tomorrow, the key to Paradise is to die to your carnal self and anything besides Him, while observing the boundaries of the Divine Laws. Proximity to Allah Almighty is the Paradise of the true believers and distance from Him is their Hell. They seek no other Paradise and fear no other Hell.”
