Reviving the Hearts

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Praise be to Allah, who originated existence with His Oneness, and in it, He raised the suns of guidance with beautiful attributes, and expanded the hearts of His people with the best of conduct and profound secrets. I praise Him with praise for Himself, and I affirm His Oneness in His attributes, illuminating the hearts of the lovers with His love and the knowers with the lantern of His knowledge.

So, bear witness, O people, to the beauty of His majesty due to His perfection, and He veiled them from witnessing others due to His closeness. He adorned their essences with the adornments of His law for His obedience, and I send blessings upon the nearest among them to Him, those whom He singled out with His remembrance for the station of His love and proximity, the master of the first and the last, the axis of the circle of the near witnesses, our leader and master, the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, his family, and his companions. 

Dear seeker on the path, indeed, engaging in constant remembrance (dhikr) is among the advanced stations on the journey to Allah, as mentioned in the Quran. Allah has made it a path that the servant traverses until they are saved from the constant assault of the self, manifested in slips, forgetfulness, and love of the ego. Continuous dhihr is a subtle and robust thread through which the lover maintains perpetual connection with the Divine. One who engages in it for the sake of Allah finds the universe illuminated for them, and assistance accompanies them. They adorn themselves with the jewels of secrets from the ornaments of knowledge. Remembrance is contemplation and nearness, performed in solitude and openly, with the presence of meaning and the absence of the ego. Hence, it ensures the gathering and differentiation when uniting with the effulgence of divine attributes within the self. It is the revival of the heart with Allah, by Allah, and in Allah. The lights of transcendence are realized in the human being, making them eligible to ascend to the stations of empowerment. Through this, the servant understands that their progress in the stages of ascent is a divine favor that knows no bounds.

O ignorant of secrets veiled in shadow's hue,

Have you, in kindness, grasped the meaning true?

From a humble origin, a drop deemed low,

Adorned in remembrance, see my proof aglow.

This is my remembrance, a cycle that repeats,

The eye of my truth, where faith and essence meets.

Insights of my kin, my lords and guiding light,

Endowed with talents, in proclamation's height.

And then, the relationship that occurs in remembrance is the relationship of the beloved with the lover. The traces of truth manifest in it, causing both the expression and the meaning to ascend to what is holiest, to the source of the secret of existence. Thus, one triumphs in the mysteries of the nights of proximity, which are the absence within the unseen. 

This is my book, unveiling my secrets' grace,

A proof, my beacon, where light finds its embrace.

Understanding it, a potion for those dear,

Lords and melodies, in gardens, blossoms appear.

Beloved, the clarity of the free-spirited trail,

Quenching from the grandeur of knowledge, the grand scale.

A sea of words, flowing in endless tide,

A source of virtues, where the righteous abide.

Therefore, the greatest divine and sacred gifts that the seeker hopes for are the divine guidance and success, by clinging to His door to enter His presence, Glorious and Exalted, in this world before the Hereafter. 

Blessed is the pauper who attained,

The path and the encounter, joy unrestrained.

Fortunate lover, glimpsing through,

Fortunes and virtues, blessings anew.

Oh beauty of all the precious gems,

You are the light, divine beauty condemns.

You're the care for all that's fair,

In your radiance, all glory's rare.

Through you, matters find their grace,

Your remembrance, the purest embrace.

O Allah, we ask You, by all Your names and attributes, to make us among those who are steadfast and upright, granted success in piety that endures. May we love You and be beloved, free from the association of partners. O Allah, bless with Your beauty and perfection the noblest and happiest of Your creations, our master , Muhammad, peace be upon him, and his family and companions, and all the prophets and messengers, and those who follow them in righteousness until the Day of Judgment.

O Allah, make this country safe and secure. Renew Your mercy upon our  sheik's, and grant them a status among those upon whom You bestowed favor, including the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. May they be among the best companions.

O Allah, have mercy on our deceased and all deceased Muslims and the believers. Grant success to the sheik's of our spiritual path in what You love and are pleased with. Make them among Your noble allies and have mercy on our living and deceased professors. Also, have mercy on all those who have rights upon us from our families, brothers, friends, children, and descendants until the Day of Judgment. Include all Muslims, both men and women, believers and believers, in Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. There is no power nor strength except by Allah, the Most High, the Almighty.
