The Good Soul

Throughout his life, and even when his soul found tranquility, peace, and serenity, he never once objected to the will of God or His decrees. When he moved, he praised God; when he rested, he praised God; when he fell ill, he praised God; when he recovered, he praised God; when he rejoiced, he praised God; when his body suffered, he praised God; when he rested, he praised God; when he woke, he praised God; when he faced the qibla, he praised God; when he traveled, he praised God; when he arrived, he praised God; when Ramadan began, he praised God; when the holidays arrived, he praised God. He praised God at all times, in all places, and in all situations, whether he was on the move or stationary, his tongue and heart never ceased to remember God. His tongue remained moist with the remembrance of God. Every time he praised God, he praised Him for His praise, to the point where his students and those who knew him closely would say, "He is a person of paradise on Earth," in accordance with the verse: "Their call therein will be, 'Exalted are You, O Allah,' and their greeting therein will be, 'Peace.' And the last of their call will be, 'Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds!'" (Quran, 10:10).

 Indeed, those who frequently praise Allah are the ones who perceive the end of things at their beginning. They are the people of precedence who initiated their praise of Allah. They are the true witnesses with the tongue of truth.

 Therefore, he often repeated in his supplications:

"To You, our Lord, belongs all praise,

For every blessing, in every way.

From among these blessings, I say,

There's no praise but for You, every day.

 So, no praise but for You, the Bestower,

The One who strengthens His servant's power."

"If the people live or goe , the face of my Lord, the One with majesty and generosity, remains. The people of God, like the pious scholars such as Sheikh, their lives do not end with their death. They are immortal through the good fruits they leave behind, spread across regions, with their disciples, students, followers, and devotees, working to spread knowledge and ethics into the hearts of the young, just like the Prophets and Messengers. They are their heirs, and all praise is due to God. This is not surprising at all, and this is why he always repeated his famous saying to both the young and old: 'Education is the firmest bond of the nation.'"
