If you can’t achieve this in this worldly life you will forever continue your life throughout various dimensions of existence as “blind”.
So think about the regime and the political system of your country in this light! Think of the state of those living in countries not ruled by Islamic Sharia…
When you perform your salat do you experience ascension and reach the reality of the Rasul of Allah (saw) and meet your Rabb?
Can you freely go to Hajj (pilgrimage) and journey your way from the exterior form of the Kaba to its essential reality?
Can you fast and cleanse yourself from the restriction of your bodily desires and reach the reality of “Samadiyyah” within your higher levels of consciousness? Are you able to freely distribute your inheritance, as you will? Can you give zakat and charity as you like?
Zakat is given unrequitedly. You can’t expect or accept a return for it. This is why I share my books for free; I see this as the zakat of the knowledge that has been given to me. I seek neither fame nor rank, I wish only to be the servant of Allah.
None of the ranks and titles in your world have any value for me. I can’t even think of such expectations. I came here alone and naked, like everybody else, and I shall leave alone and naked, to be amongst those whose observations, insights and levels of consciousness I admire. I admire because to say “I love them” is not my place.
Look my friend…
“Nobody can go to heaven with their deeds.”
Did you not hear of this before?
Have you ever thought about why it is said, “He who says “La ilaha illa Allah” at the end of times will go to heaven”? What does this mean?
If there is no “god” to throw us into hell or allow us into his heaven…
If everyone is going to experience the direct results and consequences of their actions…
If you’ve been told that “your self is sufficient to call you to account”…
If whether you will be of the people of heaven or hell is determined while you’re in your mothers womb…
If the “khalifa” (vicegerent) is created while there are people living the selfishness of bodily existence…
If a conscious species with a heart was created…
If a believer (at the level of the Names) is the mirror of a believer (the reality of the Rasul)…
If the hearts are connected to one another and they reflect each other…
And if the Domain of Names is contained within the heart of a believer…
If the heartless is the one who is unaware of his heart and “How can you not prostrate to the heart in which Allah abides?” points to this…
And if this heart is your heart…
And if instead of living with your heart you choose to live for the sake of a god you think exists in the heavens…!?
If you can’t see that the Rasul of Allah (saw) never once fought to defend himself but he was willing to fight the world for the sake of the Kaba, and you force people into Islam by means of a weapon…???
