Does anyone know what qutb, ghawth, Abdal, awtad mean?

Imam Junayd said the root of all sins is ghaflah. Sadly, many Muslims don’t know that ghaflah [indifferent/unbothered, forgetfulness, neglectful/heedless, inattentive to Allah, distracted ] is a SIN in Islam. Over 1/3 of the Quran warns us not to be in a state of ghaflah. The opposite of ghaflah is zikr. So a person MUST do zikr at all moments in the heart. Ghaflah is a ‘state’ [haal] that slowly overcomes a person from childhood as they get far from zikr. As Muslims get far from zikr, first they commit minor sins, then major - the major sins increase and eventually they become kafirs. Every second, we are either doing zikr or being ghafil. To get rid of this ‘state’ a person has to do zikr in abundance - all the time a person should pay attention on their heart and say Allah in the heart. No wonder people are leaving morning zikr majlis - because they’re ghafil - imagine if they died in this state! Also, children MUST do zikr from a very young age. Without zikr, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to be saved from sins & fitna no matter how big an alim. Children becoming alims and huffaz without zikr and company of a pious person is a recipe for disaster ... either Muslims are influencing the outside world or the world is influencing us. Doing zikr protects us from being influenced from fitna. We need to invite every Muslim to do zikr, no matter how sinful. God help us - imagine how many hundreds of Millions of muslims don’t do zikr even though it’s COMPULSORY and so EASY.
In Arabic, ghaflah is related to ‘Mughaffal’ [a simpleton, a fool, a person easy to trick].

فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ
Run towards Allah with your good deeds!
However virtous your deeds are, that's how close you will become to Allah.
In regards to running, some advance ahead and others lag behind. And some recieve 1st position as they sprint the fastest.
Similarly, when one engages in good deeds, that will make him sprint ahead and become first.
The one who comes first, gets an award and a trophy.
Similarly, in the akhirah there will be many positions and stages for these runners.
Whoever has the best deeds in the akhirah, they will be at the foremost.
So all muslims should recognise this verse and strive to come first in the race.
In dunya, the ones that attain first position are sought to take pictures with them and generally, they appear in the newspaper.
Those that advance ahead, on Qiyamah, Allah will give those the highest abode in Jannah.
Those that come first in the hereafter are those who Selected Dhikr.
And they will be first because thier burdens of sin will be light due to thier Dhikr, as Dhikr washes away sins. Allah tells us in the Quran to remember Him "morning and evening" and this what purifies us from sins.
Those that will advance in the hereafter will be envied by all and others will cut thier fingers. This is when they will realise that Dhikr is such an easy deed which they didn't engage in.
Even if you have to travel 1000 miles to attain Dhikr, you must!
We waste so much time daily involving ourselves in useless activities which do not bring benefit to our hereafter.
Allah hasn't made it difficult to attain his love. It is merely to remember Him in which we will receive His love!
In business you examine the item that you can gain the most profit from to introduce into your shop. And this is similar to our deeds. If we ask Nabi ﷺ what is the best deed , and he says the dhikr Allah.
In this moment in time we are prevented from doing Hajj and Umrah and visiting the Mountain of Uhud. We are prevented from the masaajid and from performing Taraweeh. But Allah has left the doors to His remembrance wide open.
How unfortunate are we that currently we are being punished by Allah but still we abstain from Dhikr! We do not repent yet Allah has opened the doors to His Mercy and light through Dhikr.
A child saw a dream that a great storm arrived attacking the world and there was a cave in which he sat in. And Hadrath sahib was doing dhikr in the cave. The storm overpowered all around the cave. However, when it came close to the cave, it retreated. This child was so fearful when he awoke. We should be ashamed of ourselves that we do not get up in the morning to Remember Allah. Dhikr is protection! We go hunting for a vaccine for coronavirus yet Dhikr is The ultimate vaccine for Corona!
