There are 80,000 bad characters, and each is a heavy chain around our ankles.

If a man is struggling with his ego, he will succeed in cutting every bond and he will meet with the spirit of the Prophet, seeing him when awake, not in sleep. This meeting means, he reached to his heavenly station, no more in fear and sadness.

At that time we can look to what happened with our promises made on the Day of Promises; we may read from the Preserved Tablet. Our fate is right only when we are looking on our promises and doing them. Without the ability to look, we are not yet in real faith, and this is impossible without complete purification and a meeting with the Prophet’s spirit. Until reaching this, all of our worship needs intercession of the Prophet. When looking on the tablet, you will be able to intercede for others.

The Prophet said for his nation: "I will intercede for big sinners." Our Grandsheikh asks: "What is a big sin?" Until reaching the ability to look on this Tablet, we are all big sinners. Even our worshipping is a big sin, in need of the Prophet’s intercession.

(Shaykh Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani, from Grandshaykh Abdullah al-Faizi ad-Daghestani)
