Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle

states, occult occurrences are observed. Such blessings are
exclusive only to those who sacrifice their lives for Allah’s sake.
Sir! The bereavement of my most cherished son has been a very
great catastrophe. It has scorched me. No one has suffered such a
burning grief. Yet at the same time the blessing of patience and
gratitude, which Allâhu ta’âlâ has bestowed on this weak-hearted
faqîr, me, against this catastrophe, has been one of His greatest
gifts. I pray that Allâhu ta’âlâ will not give the reward for this
catastrophe in the world and will give it in the Hereafter!
However, I am not unaware of the fact that this wish of mine
originates from the depression in my heart. For, His Mercy is
endless and His Compassion is profuse. Both in this world and in
the Hereafter, He gives profusely. What we expect from our
brothers is that they help and rescue us by praying for our
guidance toward îmân in our last breath and for the forgiveness of
our sins, which we have committed out of human weaknesses. O
our Allah, forgive us and do not let us deviate from the right way!
Help us defend ourselves against unbelievers! Âmin. I send my
salâm to you and to those who are on the right way.
