Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Third Fascicle

all the Awliyâ. They all attained love of the Dhât-i ilâhî. They were
content with Allâhu ta’âlâ’s qadâ and qadar. They would also take
pleasure from the bitter and troublesome happenings that befell
them. They would not ask for shafâ’at (intercession) either from
the dead or from the living in order to get rid of the things that
gave them trouble. They would pray for the healing of any disease
that would prevent them from worship, jihâd and work. While
being martyred, Hadrat ’Umar, ’Uthmân, ’Âlî, Hasan and Husain
‘radiy-Allâhu ’anhum’ did not ask for help from Rasûlullah’s ‘sall-
Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ blessed soul, because they were pleased
with Allah’s decree and predestination. If they had asked,
Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ would definitely hear
them and would rescue them either by prayers or in person. His
hadîth-i-sherîfs communicate that he hears in his grave. And the
Sahâba reported his mu’jizas (miracles) after his death.
Pitying His slaves, Allâhu ta’âlâ created mu’jizas and karâmats
so that they would recognize His Prophets and Awliyâ and believe,
love and respect them, thus receiving fayd from them and attaining
happiness. During the times of the Sahâba and the Tâbi’în the
hearts being pure and brilliant, the Muslims would recognize the
Awliyâ at once and would receive fayd from them. So creation of
karâmats would not be necessary. As we are farther away from
Rasûlullah’s ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ time, bid’ats, sins, evils
have increased, their zulmat darkening the hearts. In order to
make His Awliyâ known, He has created lots of karâmats. Thus
only have the slaves woken up from unawareness and been able to
receive fayd from the Awliyâ. If more karâmats are seen on a Walî
this does not necessarily mean that he is higher.]
Those who entertain people’s hearts here,
Pay zakât, and of the poor take care,
In transactions, to the Sunnat adhere;
Hands that observe Islam are far from torment.
He who has freed himself from carnal zeal,
Who, of the fear of Allah, turns pale,
And who, in the world, knows the namâz’ savour;
Waists that bend for sajda are far from torment.
