SECRET BOND

SECRET BOND

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

 “I seek shelter in Allah from the rejected Satan''
In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful"

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

Allah Ta’ãla grants this type of connection to His special servants, about whom He says; “We increase them in guidance”.  This is a special status which Allah granted to the ’Ashãbul Kahf’ (companions of the cave). They were a group of young people who embraced Imãn, but where granted a special status beyond that, a special link, when Allah bonded their hearts, after having increased their guidance.

Kwaja Azizul Hasan (R) used to say:

“Only You and I are aware of this secret bond.  No one else is aware of it.”  

He further says:

“There is no companion like You, there is no supporting friend.We are conversing at every moment, yet there is no sound.”

Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thãnwi (R) says,

“A voice is heard in the heart which says; ’Do this and do not do that.’ After establishing a connection with Allah, one constantly receives guidance from the unseen.”

My friends, we can increase our value even today. I will tell you this with a yearning heart that the Ummah today looks towards us, who have some sort of connection with Ilm.The people are searching for Haji Imdãdullah, Shaykh Gangohi, Shaykh Qasim Nãnotwi, Shaykh Thãnwi, Shaykh Ismail Shaheed, Junaid Baghdãdi and Bayazeed Bustãmi (R).

People are yearning for the lovers of Allah of that category. They are looking towards us according to the standards of our predecessors.

My friends, it is necessary that we become Wali’s of Allah. This is not impossible. I have said it earlier that to become a Saint is not impossible. But achieving Prophethood is impossible.

Shaykh Hakimul Ummat Thãnwi (R) used to say;

“Sainthood constitutes two parts, Imãn and Taqwa, as the Qur’ãn says; ’Those who have embraced Imãn and have Taqwa.’ Every Muslim has acquired half sainthood i.e. Imãn. Now the next step is that of Taqwa, and once this is acquired, one is a Wali (saint).”
