nobody whom your Allah’s blessings do not reach.”<br />

15 – For adapting oneself to Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâtu was-salâm’<br />

completely and flawlessly, one needs to love him<br />

completely and without defect. The symptom of complete and<br />

perfect love is to bear hostility against his enemies, and to<br />

dislike those who dislike him. Love cannot include sloth. Lovers,<br />

being crazy about their darlings, cannot do anything against<br />

them. They cannot come to a mutual agreement with those who<br />

act against them. The love for two opposites cannot settle in the<br />

same heart together. To love one of two opposites entails<br />

enmity towards the other.<br />

These worldly blessings are transient and deceitful. If they<br />

are yours today, they will be somebody else’s tomorrow. But<br />

those which will be obtained in the Hereafter are endless and<br />

will be earned in the world. If a few days’ life in this world is<br />

spent following Hadrat Muhammad, who is the most valuable<br />

man in this and the next worlds, one may hope for endless<br />

bliss, eternal salvation. Otherwise, unless one adapts oneself to<br />

him, everything turns into nothing. Every good deed and act of<br />

kindess done without following him remains here, nothing will<br />

be obtained in the Hereafter.<br />

16 – Hadrat Muhammad is the darling of Allahu ta’âlâ. The<br />

best of everything will be given to the darling.<br />

[As-sayyed Abdulhakîm-i Arwâsî Efendi said, “Every prophet<br />

is superior to all his people in every respect, in his time, and in<br />

his place. Yet Muhammad (’alaihissalâm) is the highest of all of<br />

the creatures which have come and will come to the world from<br />

the day it was created to Doomsday. No one is superior to him<br />

in any respect. This fact is not difficult to realize. Allahu ta’âlâ,<br />

who makes what He wills and what He likes, created him so.<br />

No person has power enough to adequately praise him. No<br />

human being is able to criticize him.” It is written in the preface<br />

of the book Ma’rifatnâma that Allahu ta’âlâ said, “Were it not<br />

for thee, I would not have created the heavens.” The same<br />

is also written in the sixth and thirteenth pages of the book<br />

Mawâhib-i Ladunniyya and in the thirteenth and fifteenth<br />

pages of the book Enwâr-i Muhammadiyya. This fact is also<br />

stated in the letters numbered 122 and 124 in the third volume<br />

of Maktûbat by Imâm-i Rabbânî, and in the Persian annotation<br />

of that volume.<br />
