Allah ta'ala has explained the method of acquiring His love. If we follow His methodology, it will become an easy feat, otherwise, we will be diverted.
Allah ta'ala created this world and filled it with resources which serve our needs. Alongside this, He has guided us towards achieving the true purpose of life and success.
After sending the Messengers عليهم السلام, Allah ta'ala sent the AwliyahAllah in order to continue guiding Mankind.
Paradise is our final abode so we should strive to reach there. Hellfire is not our objective of life. However, one becomes destined for Hellfire as a form of punishment if he commits sins in this world.
The focal point of success is love for Allah and the Holy Prophet ﷺ. However, we must work hard to attain His nearness and implement the laws of Allah ta'ala. This is the first condition and with this, comes the help of Allah ta'ala.
On the other hand, Shaytan makes us lazy and negligent towards the Akhirah. This refers to staying in bed and abandoning prayers which is something we should remain wary of.
Our biggest mission in life is to attain the love and nearness of Allah ta'ala. We are not required to exert ourselves physically for this, rather, we are required to focus our heart entirely upon Allah ta'ala. Our heart should remain attentive to Him. This is the centre point of all worship.
Even whilst being occupied in worldly affairs, our heart should remain focused upon Allah ta'ala.
Our heart is an organ which fluctuates. This is why we are required to constantly re-direct our focus and attention towards Allah ta'ala. This itself is a great act of worship!
Whilst praying and performing other acts of worship, we must eradicate worldly thoughts and focus entirely upon Allah ta'ala. We should feel as though we are in the company of Allah ta'ala.
The proof of good company is that a person feels connected to Allah ta'ala and his heart is connected to Allah ta'ala. If one experiences this feeling in the company of his Sheikh, he should be satisfied that he has been granted a true guide! This is how one may recognise the friends of Allah ta'ala.
"Hadhrat Mu’adh ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه reported: I asked Nabi ﷺ, “Among which deeds are most beloved to Allah?” The Prophet said, “That you die while your tongue is moist with the remembrance of Allah.” [Ibn Hibbān Shareef]
Dhikr refers to paying attention to Allah ta'ala.
If the act of Takbir is not performed correctly during the beginning part of our prayer, then we will have missed out a Wajib act of prayer.
This recitation of Takbir denotes shunning all other thoughts besides Allah ta'ala and focusing solely upon Him. The biggest worship is being completely attentive to Allah ta'ala.
The focal point of all worship is that our heart remains focussed upon Allah ta'ala. If our minds became contaminated with worldly thoughts, we must shun them immediately and focus upon Allah ta'ala. If our heart begins to improves towards this training, it is proof that one has found the correct guidance.
The true Wali Allah teach the shortcut route towards Allah ta'ala. They grant small lessons and prescriptions and the student is required to work less hard. This is why the Naqshbandi order is superior to others orders as it is a shortcut to Allah ta'ala's nearness. The students are required to perform little, but earn great achievements in return.
The worship of this order is solely to perform Muraqabah and the AwliyahAllah train our thoughts to be focused upon Allah ta'ala. We are required to perfect this lesson.
When visiting Madinah Shareef, we should go with a high level of manners and utmost respect. We should clothe ourselves with the Sunnah attire and womenfolk should visit in Purdah. Great caution is required in order to avoid being disrespectful towards Madinah Shareef and the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
May Allah ta'ala allow us to implement these precious pearls. Ameen
