Which of the deeds is the best ?’ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ عِنْدِي أَفْضَلَ مِنَ التَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيَّ وَ الرِّضَا بِمَا قَسَمْتُ Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “There isn’t anything in My -azwj Presence superior to the relying upon Me -azwj and the satisfaction with what I -azwj have Apportioned!
يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَ وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَعَاطِفِينَ فِيَّ وَ وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَوَاصِلِينَ فِيَّ وَ وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيَّ O Muhammad -saww !
I -azwj have Obligated one loving Me -azwj for giving gifts to each other for My -azwj Sake, and Obligated ones loving Me -azwj to be compassionate to each other for My -azwj Sake, and Obligated to connect with each other for My -azwj Sake, and Obligated ones loving to be relying upon Me -azwj .
وَ لَيْسَ لِمَحَبَّتِي عَلَمٌ وَ لَا غَايَةٌ وَ لَا نِهَايَةٌ وَ كُلَّمَا رَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ عَلَماً وَضَعْتُ لَهُمْ عَلَماً أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَظَرُوا إِلَى الْمَخْلُوقِينَ بِنَظَرِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا يَرْفَعُوا الْحَوَائِجَ إِلَى الْخَلْقِ بُطُونُهُمْ خَفِيفَةٌ مِنْ أَكْلِ الْحَلَالِ نَعِيمُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا ذِكْرِي وَ مَحَبَّتِي وَ رِضَايَ عَنْهُمْ- And there isn’t any flag (limitation) for My -azwj Love, nor any peak, nor any end-point, and every time a flag is raised for them, a flag is dropped for them.
They are those who are looking at the created being with My -azwj Looking at them, and they are not raising the needs to the creatures. Their bellies are light from eating the Permissible(s), their bounties in the world is My -azwj Zikr, and My -azwj Love and My -azwj Satisfaction with them. يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَوْرَعَ النَّاسِ فَازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ ارْغَبْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ O Ahmad -saww !
If you -saww love to be the most devout of the people, then be ascetic regarding the world and desirous regarding the Hereafter!” فَقَالَ يَا إِلَهِي كَيْفَ أَزْهَدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَرْغَبُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ He -saww said: ‘O my -saww God -azwj !
