Muhammad (saw) – The Perfect Man — Page 147
Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 147 God asked me if I knew what the angels were debating? I replied that I did not know. God asked me again and again I gave the same answer, then I saw that God put His Palm on my shoulder and I could feel the coolness of His touch in my chest and everything became clear to me. Then God asked again about the topic being discussed by the angels. I replied that they are discussing 'Kaff a r a t' کﻔﺎرات (the things which remove sins) God asked me, what are the Kaff a r a ts? I replied, going to mosque on foot for congregational prayers, remembering All a h after the Nam a z and do full ablution despite reluctance. Then God asked what are 'Daraj a t' درﺟﺎت ? I replied to feed others, gentle talk and offer S al a t when others are asleep. Then God told me to beg whatever I wanted, I offered this prayer. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa advised us that this prayer is ( ﺑﺮﺣﻖ ) the truth, remember it yourself and teach it to others. َ ّٰ ا َّ ﻟﻠ ِّْﻬُﻢ َاِىن َاَﺳْﺎَﻟُک َْﻓِﻌْﻞ َْ اخل َ ري اتِ،وَﺗَﺮْک َّاملُْﻨْکَﺮَاتِ، ِوَﺣُﺐ ِْ املَﺴَﺎک ني ،وَأ ِْن ِْﺗَﻐْﻔِﺮْىل َّ وَﺗَﺮْمحَْىن َ،وَاِذَااَرَدْت ْﻨِﻓ ً ِْﺔ ٍىف ِْﻗَﻮْم َﻓَﺘَﻮَﻓَّىن r َْ َري َّﻣَﻔْﺘُﻮنٍ،وَاَﺳْﺎَﻟُک ْﺣُﺐ ُِّﻣَﻦ َّ حي ٍﺒُّکَ،وَﺣُﺐ ُﻋَﻤَﻞ ِْ ﻳ ٰﻘَﺮِّﺑُىن َاِىل ﺣُﺒِّک.
