Awarif Al Ma’arif

Praise be to the one who gives various gifts

In each place there is a right thing to say

All these things have an effect of the heart, anyone who raises above them will not be effected by these things (trails)

It depends on what is in the heart, that will cause effect

People who have a firm conviction will not be effected by these things and the speech of human beings will not have an effect on anyone because they are present with Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala

The one who is strong, will fill with longing when he hears poetry which reminds him of Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala, so he can be reminded

He was never in a state of loss, so he didn’t change

As soon as you remember Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala, you will forget your own existance

As is it can a poet Labids verse, “Everything except Allah is futile.” The Prophet (Peace and blessing be upon him) said there was no truer speech from a poet

The Prophet (Peace and blessing be upon him) used to wake up in the night and affirm the truth

Allah Subhnau wa ta'ala says in his book that he never sent a Prophet, except that he was sent to be obeyed by his permission

Some people think they have some light but they are veiled by another veil

There are 70,000 veils between us and Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala if they had not been there, everything would’ve been burned

The Prophet (Peace and blessing be upon him) cried when he heard Ibn Masud (May Allahs mercy be with him) recited the ayat that the Prophet will be brought forward as a witness on the day of judgement

People of reality of certainty cry, for a high reason
