وكمْ من زلةٍ ليِ في الخَطَايا وأنتَّ عليَّ ذو فضلٍ ومَنَّ

How many slips into sin I have made, yet You are, towards me, full of bounty and favour.

يَظُنّ النَّاسُ بي خَيرًا وإِنِّي لشَرُ النَّاسِ إنْ لمْ تَعفُ عنِّي.

People assume good of me, but I am the worst of people if You do not pardon me.

[daggerofmisk]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

وقال بعض الأطباء العشق امتزاج الروح بالورح لما بينهما من التناسب والتشاكل فإذا امتزج الماء بالماء امتنع تخليص بعضه من بعض ولذلك تبلغ المحبة بين الشخصين حتى يتألم أحدهما بتألم الآخر ويسقم بسقمه وهو لا يشعر

Some physicians / doctors have said that love is the merging of souls because of the harmony / compatibility and similarity between them. Just as water mixes with water, it becomes impossible to separate them from each other. Likewise, love between two people can reach such a level that one feels pain when the other is in pain, and becomes ill with their illness, even without realizing it (even though they're not connected).

كتاب روضة المحبين ونزهة المشتاقين لابن القيم

[ar-raayih]

Ibrahim waited decades for a child.

Musa waited years in exile.

Yusuf waited in prison.

Yaqub waited with blind eyes.

Ayyub waited through pain.

Nuh waited a lifetime.

Their waiting wasn’t wasted.

Waiting is one of the quietest forms of ‘ibadah - because even in silence, you’re saying: “I trust Allah.”

And when the wait ended, Allah rewarded them beyond imagination.

And despair not from Allāh's relief:

Imam Ibn al-Jawzī

(May Allāh have mercy on him)

“Beware of thinking that the time of a trial or test is long, or becoming fed up with making duʿāʾ often. For you (mankind) are tested with trials and as a slave of Allāh the Almighty you should preserve with patience and keep calling upon your Lord, and despair not from the relief of Allāh, even if the time of the test is long.”

[Ṣayd al-Ḵẖāṭr (1/439)]

-

قَالَ الإِمَامُ اِبْنَ الجوزي - رَحِمَهُ الله - :

« فَإِيَّاكَ إِيَّاكِ أَنْ تَسْتَطِيلَ زَمَانُ البَلَاءِ ، وَتُضْجِرُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الدُّعَاءِ ، فَإِنَّكَ مُبْتَلًى ، بِالبَلَاءِ مُتعبَّدٌ بالصَّبر والدُّعاء ، وَلَا تَيْأَسُ مِنْ رَوِح اللهُ ، وَإِنْ طَالَ البَلَاءُ ».

[ صَيْدَ الخَاطِرِ : 439 - 1 ]

what are your thoughts of a Lord who says Himself that He wants to forgive you, Who rejoices at your repentance, Who loves those who repent and forgives you?

a Lord Who knows every secret, every sin, every slip and still opens the door of mercy wide.

a Lord Who watches hearts drift away and yet calls them back gently, again and again.

a Lord Who does not turn away from the broken, Who does not abandon the sinner, Who does not get tired of being asked.

how merciful is the One Who forgives when others would give up? how kind is the One Who welcomes the weak, the lost, and the heavy hearted?

when the world feels cold and hearts feel distant, His Mercy is near. when shame weighs down the soul, His forgiveness lifts it. when the distance feels too great, He reminds: “I am near.”

so how can a heart not break out of love for Him?

so how can despair exist for a servant when their Lord is like this? how can there be hopelessness when His Mercy is endless, and His door never closes?

[manhiya1]

…so you come understand the meaning of سيعود غريبا،, you look at the lives of those before you, and you wonder at them, you learn from how they threaded such a heavy path, you take them as your friends, they become you role models, they become the ones you relate to.

For it is indeed, it is very heavy to turn against your family, everything you know and choose the path of Ar-Rahman, and you just wonder how Rasulullah ﷺ did it, just how was he able to turn against his whole tribe? سبحان الله. So inspiring, so powerful.

The more you thread this path, the more the ayaat of Allah عَزَّ وَجَلَّ‎ weigh heavily on your heart, they penetrate the heart, and you visualize so much, it’s so real, all the things He says, they happen, and you can’t help but try to stay on the safe side, you don’t want to dare be on the side that earns His Displeasure. The more you thread this path, the more sacrifices you give up, the more your Imaan would increase because you see all the signs in front of you. So powerful الله أكبر

Hidden Sins

Abu Ad-Dardā said "A person should be careful not to be cursed by the hearts of the believers without even realizing it."

They asked him "How?"

He replied "When a servant commits hidden sins with Allah, Allah places that person's hatred in the hearts of the believers, without him even being aware of that."

Bizlere yaşadığımız zamanın halini vasfederek teselli bulmamıza, ailemiz, akrabalarımız, içinde bulunduğumuz toplumdaki garipsenen halimizin aslında yanlış yolda değil, bilakis sadece sünnetine uyma gayretinde olan her kişinin kendisini içinde bulacağı bu halleri haber veren Muhammed Mustafa ﷺ 'e, ailesine ve ashabına salat ve selam olsun.

Hamd; gökleri direksiz yaratan, kulları için dalaletten hidayete götürecek elçiler ve kitaplar gönderen, bunları destekleyici insanlar var eden alemlerin Rabb'i, Melik'i, Malik'i olan Allah (Subhanehu ve Teala)'yadır.

Sünnete ittiba da Şeyh, alim, imam olan el-Acurri (rahimehullah) bu kitabında hadislerde haber verilen gariplerin (guraba) kim olduğunu, haklarında ne söylendiğini ve onları tarif ederken Rasulullah ﷺ'in söylemiş olduğu "kabilelerinden ayrılan, insanların bozduğunu düzelten" vb ifadelerin ne manaya geldiğini açıklamış, ehli sünnet vel cemaat'ten diğer imamların bunlara dair şerhlerini aktarmıştır.

Kitab 5 kısımdan oluşmakta;

1- Garip müminlerin, onların dünyadaki vasıflarının ve orada hangi hallerde bulunduklarının zikri

2- Gariplerin mertebesine ulaşmaya teşvik

3- Allah (azze ve celle) adına yemin ettiği zaman, Allah'ın yeminini doğru çıkaracağı garibin sıfatı (özellikleri)

4- Garipliği seven, kendisini gizleyen, bundan dolayı bir yerden diğerine intikal eden kimseler

5- Garibin ölümü

Bunlarla beraber yayınevi dipnotlarda eserin ilmi hacmini daha genişletici nakillerde bulunarak, konunun iyice anlaşılmasını sağlamıştır. Bu nakillerden en değerli olanlarından biri de İbn Receb el-Hanbeli'nin Keşful Kurbe fi Vasfi Ehlil Ğurbe eserinden yapılanlar. Zira İbn Receb (rahimehullah)'da bu eserinde garipler/gariplik hakkında benzer bir çalışma yapmıştır. Kitab, Türkçe tercümesi yok ama İngilizce tercümesi var ve Batı'da ki Müslümanlar arasında baya ilgi gören bir eser. Bu yönüyle Acurri'nin kitabı ve dipnotlar daha değerli oluyor.

Allah azze ve celle övülen, sünnete ittiba da sebat eden ve bu hal üzere canını teslim eden kimselerden olmayı nasib etsin.
