by Moulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Dâmat Barakâtuhum)

Friends, if a thorn pricks you and your heart is grieved by protecting your gaze in the path of Allâh and saving yourself from sin, then by Allâh, if all the flowers of the world greet this thorn, they will not fulfil the rights of the thorns of Allâh's path. If all the happiness of the world make salâm to the grief that is experienced by discarding the disobedience of Allâh, they cannot fulfil the rights of the greatness of this grief. This is because it is the thorn of Allâh's path. Do not ask about the value of the grief of Allâh's path. Only the Ambiya (prophets) and Auliya (saints) know its value. Accordingly, they remain happy at all times because they have pleased Allâh. Therefore Allâh Ta'âla also keeps them happy at all times. Worry and anxiety do not reach their hearts. They remain on the outside. How can joy and grief be combined? How can the heart smile with thorns? I have compiled a couplet depicting this:

'The example of the smiling of my heart during grief and anxiety is like how a blossom blooms among the surrounding thorns.'

If blossoms can be blessed with the favour of blooming among thorns, can Allâh not keep the hearts of his special servants happy during periods of grief by means of granting them contentment of heart? I have expressed this sentiment in yet another couplet:

'This life is grieved by the dagger of contentment. Every moment it is stealing the delicious taste of martydom.'

It is the compulsion of a human being that he be content with whatever condition Allâh keeps him in. Then, if Allâh wills, he will be content in every condition due to the blessing of divinely-granted contentment. I remember another couplet of mine:

'I found life to be full of joy even though the heart was full of grief. Due to the blessing of His grief, I remained free of grief even in the condition of grief.'

This contentment is a great factor. Hakeemul Ummat Moulana Thanwi Rahmatullah Alaih asked my Sheikh, Shah Abdul Ghani Saheb Rahmatullah Alaih what position is higher than sincerity. He replied that he did not know. Ml Thanwi said: "Taslim wa Radâ." (acceptance and contentment) i.e. to be content with the decree of Allâh. A very great prize is obtained due to this acceptance.
