Buku islam itu mudah ali hasan ali abdul hamid

A mature 'arif's soul and essence in comparison with his figure and appearance is like a person's relation to the clothes he wears. He who is on the right way and he who has deviated are mixed with each other and are alike. They have made the world a place for examinations. Thus, they have concealed his maturity from others' eyes. They have not taken the human attributes away from him.

For, they have let the figure and appearance of an 'arif who has reached perfection remain like others. Its being seemingly bitter does not prevent it from being sweet in fact. It should be known very well that something's coming loathsome to the nafs, to the body, does not mean that the heart dislikes it. When there are no more blessings, when favors are finished, shukr also comes to an end. But shukr is done only at times of blessing, and is not continuous. Hamd is paid both at times of happiness and at times of trouble. As it is seen, hamd is the highest manner of praising and lauding and shows the husn-i jamal in the most compact way. For, the sorrow given by Allahu ta'ala is beautiful as His gifts are. In other words, both His Person and His attributes and His deeds and His gifts and His giving sorrow are always loved and lauded. But when paying hamd the Beloved's husn-i jamal, that is, He Himself, is in consideration. For, in giving shukr the Beloved's blessings are in consideration, which in actual fact come out of His attributes or, to be more precise, out of His deeds. This is the reason why saying hamd is more valuable than saying shukr (thanks). For this reason, it is suitable for the devoted lovers to say, 'Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin ala kull-i hal.' Then they will be included among those hamids who are grateful during times of trouble as well as at times of happiness. The lover always praises both His sorrow and His blessings. Then He is praised all the time in His every action, he is paid hamd. Can these two ever be alike? Because the Beloved is Beloved in the eyes of the lover, even in his essence, He becomes Mahbub in his eye, and even in his essence. The more the Beloved tortures him, the more relieved and happy the lover feels. But the one in this grade takes flavor from sorrow. For, a person who is in the grade of rida does not loathe the sorrow given by the Beloved. I think this grade is higher than the grade of rida. To those who are honored with such love, the sorrow given by the Beloved is more delicious and more relieving than His favors. Loving the Divine Person only (Allah Himself) without any attribute, any comparison, any condition in between, is only peculiar to Habib-i Rabb-il-alamin 'alaihi wa ala alihissalawat wattaslimat'. When he obtains such a good opinion, none of the Beloved's actions seem unbecoming to him, and he gets honored with Muhabbat-i Dhatiyye. Even if the Beloved thrusts His dagger into the lover's throat or cuts him into pieces, the lover should deem this useful for himself and see it as a great favor and happiness. Attaining this most valuable blessing requires having a good opinion about the Beloved. Among these lovers, however, there are very few whose love is increased by the Beloved's hurting them. Or their love never changes when He hurts them as well as when He does them favors. Many of those who have been honored with the blessing of loving and who have tasted loving love even more whenever they receive a gift from the Beloved One.

It is loved when it hurts the lover as well as when it does him a favor. O Mawlana Muhammad Salih, my dear brother! Know that something loved, in the eyes of the lover, and even actually, is beloved always, no matter in whatever state it is.
