Status of Auliya Allah-2

<span class="content1">&nbsp; <p><strong>Taken from Mawaaiz-e-Hasana of Hadhrat Muhaddith-E-Deccan (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him). </strong></p> <p>This is all the result of lack of the company of the men of Allah SWT (<i> Ahlullah </i>). If you had gained their blessed company and had spent a part of your life with them, then you would have realized how the absolute power of Allah SWT accomplishes things and what our relationship is with the power of Allah SWT. What a fine thing has a saint said:</p> <p>Translation:</p> <p>The special people of Allah SWT are not Allah <b>but they are not separate from Allah as well. </b></p> <p>Visiting the graves of the saints in the manner prescribed by the Sunnah and voicing our needs to them and requesting them to pray to Allah SWT for us is not wrong. Prostrating to the graves (<i> Sajdah </i>)or circumambulating them (<i> Tawaf </i>) or committing other such acts which are against the Shariah is objectionable. A <i>Salik </i>(the one traveling on the path of closeness to Allah SWT) should take care that his actions/deeds do not go against the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).</p> <p>The way a <i>Salik </i>has great need for <i>Dhikr </i>(remembrance of Allah SWT) and the recitation of the Holy Quran, in the same way, it is necessary for the <i>Salik </i>to keep going through the lives of the Auliya Allah.</p> <p>Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) was asked what is the benefit of the lives and incidents of the saints for the <i>Salik </i>. He said: Through the mention of the friends of Allah SWT, the broken heart of the <i>Salik </i>becomes strong and rejuvenated and the Mercy of Allah SWT descends with the mention of the Auliya Allah.</p> <p>Hadhrat Shaykh Abu Ali Daqqaq (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) says: there are 2 benefits with the remembrance of the Men of Allah SWT: if the <i>Salik </i>desires the Lord SWT, then his determination desire are increased and if any person is proud, then his pride is lessened and his claim to pride itself is uprooted. That person sees his sin as a sin and also realizes the blindness of his <i>Batin </i>.</p> </span> <div align="right">&nbsp;</div>
