3-Endless Bliss Third Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

May it do good to those who get the blessing!
O our Allah! Do not deprive us of the rewards of these
hardships! After these, do not let us fall into faction! During
these days when Islam is weak, your valuable being is a great
blessing for Muslims. May Allâhu ta’âlâ give you safety and
bless you with a long life! Wassalâm.
24 — SECOND VOLUME, 32nd LETTER
This letter was written to Mirzâ Kilinjullah. It answers his
letter saying that he cannot concentrate his heart, and
intimates the prayers to be said during times of fear:
I express my gratitude to Allâhu ta’âlâ, pronounce
benedictions over His beloved Prophet and over you. Your
cherished letter of azâ, that is, letter of condolence due to
bereavement, has arrived. We all are under Allah’s command
and will, and we all will enter His presence! With His aid, we
have been acquiescent in His qadâ. You, too, must acquiesce
to it! Ask for help by saying prayers and the Fâtiha! The news
informing that you are already free of that problem has pleased
us very much. So we have gotten rid of one of the two
problems. Thank Allâhu ta’âlâ for this! You write that you cannot
rid your heart of worldly thoughts. Yes, the outward deed’s
being disorderly and disorganized causes the heart to become
untidy, too. When there is sorrow or melancholy in your heart
say tawba and istighfâr to remove it! During times of fear [and
against the harm of genies] say the prayer of Kalima-i tamjîd,
that is, “Lâ hawla walâ quwwata illâ billâhil ’aliyyil ’azîm.” [It
is written in the 174th letter that this prayer is said against the
haunting of genies. Muhammad Ma’thûm ‘rahmatullâhi alaih’
writes in his third letter of the second volume, “One should
recite Lâ hawla walâ quwwata illâ billâh five hundred times
with the salawât-i sherîfa a hundred times before and after it
and make a du’â in order to get rid of problems and attain one’s
wishes.”] At such times of trouble it is very useful to recite the
two sûras of Mu’awwizatayn, that is, the two sûras beginning
with Qul-a’ûdhu. We have been well and comfortable, may
hamd be to Allâhu ta’âlâ always! “Alhamdu-li ’l-lâhi dâiman
wa alâ kulli hâl wa A’ûdhu bi’l-lâhi min hâl-i ahl-in-nâr.”
Being weak, I cannot write any longer. May Allâhu ta’âlâ not
separate us and you from Muhammad Mustafâ’s Sharî’at!
Wassalâm.
