Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

The pursuit of Safety and Happiness begins with purification.

Lailatul Jai’za, the Night of Rewards on Eidul Fitri, is a Holy Night where sincere servants of Allah (ﷻ) take from His Generosity, Forgiveness and celebrate their return to the state of purity.

These blessed ones are, like iron attracted to a magnet, attracted to draw closer to Allah (ﷻ) and His Beloved (ﷺ) in Holy Ramadan.

They planted seeds of good intentions and beg to remain spiritually with Ramadan, to be with Allah (ﷻ), seeking to progress in this Way.

Ramadan is the opening to spiritual cleansing.

Like the Holy Kaa’ba, attracting billions of people to it, Ramadan’s magnetic pull draws hearts closer to Allah (ﷻ) and His Beloved (ﷺ).

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (qas) said that a spiritual guide, a true inheritor of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) is in reality, the Spiritual Kaa’ba.

He, like a magnet, has the true ability to pull millions of hearts to connect to Allah, through Rabitah.

Hence, finding your Murshid is a beautiful gift of finding the only one who holds the key to your heart. There is no need to look for another.

This key, bestowed to him by Holy Prophet (ﷺ), allows him to enter, groom and prepare your heart, to reach its true purpose, a place devoted only for its One True Owner (ﷻ).

The attraction to connect the heart with a Guide unlocks the heart to be cleansed from what seems like mankind’s incorrigible nature of self aggrandizement, self-idolation, anger and all the other sewage of Ego’s bad characteristics.

Taking guidance from a Murshid is the only Way for Man to begin returning to purity.

The iron pumping heart needs to be in connection to its magnet in order to become a source of magnetic attraction itself, drawing others to the Guide’s magnetic hold.

The pull is irresistible, a natural attraction that is vital for the sincere seeker to begin the journey of reaching safety and ultimately, reaching to Servanthood. What a great honour and blessing, to be a servant of The Almighty (ﷻ)!

Wise ones who draw near to the Spiritual Kaa’ba in Tawaf, remaining in constant connection, following every sohbah, will slowly see their dirtiness disappear.

Then, they progress to reach a place of true happiness and no worry, inheriting the beautiful characteristics of their Guide, becoming beloved to Allah (ﷻ).

Seek to remain with Ramadan, with your key-holder, your Shaykh, and strive to become a real murid.
May Allah write for us a perfect Ramadan where we remain in constant connection and worshipping with Allah (ﷻ). May our hearts submit to a true Guide and be truly happy with Allah’s (ﷻ) Choices, wanting only His Will, leaving ours.
