ALLAH’S MAGNIFICENCE IN YOU COMES WITH YOUR SURRENDER:
WE WILL CONTINUE TO DESTROY THE EARTH AS LONG AS THE NAFS ARE IN CONTROL:
1 November 2014ATTACHMENTS NARROW OUR PERSPECTIVE, PREVENTING PEACE:
9 November 2014Allah is wise. Allah is merciful. Allah is all knowing. Allah is the accountant. Whatever attributes that are covering you and that you are utilizing are Allah’s. Allah is using you to manifest these attributes in different degrees.
As your surrender increases, this manifestation increases in you according to Allah’s will, not according to your will. Whoever Allah loves and manifests His qualities to a greater degree is closer to Allah. However much of Allah’s magnificence is being manifested in you, it belongs to Allah. Everything is Allah’s. We have nothing.
At times, some people refer to a shaykh as a big shaykh. What’s a big shaykh? A big shaykh is the one who has surrendered more than anybody else has. Allah’s manifestation of His attributes is more in him than in anybody else.

Thank you Shaykh Taner for sharing these pearls of wisdom with us. As these words are being read, the message is so clear that nothing belongs to us, so why do we have greed, jealousy and envy? This world would be such a beautiful place if the human race could understand this.
Ya Hu
Allah is wise. 🙂
