Malfuzat - Volume VIII — Page 50
Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 8 50 It is found in [ S a hih ] al-Bukh a r i that man creates a rela- tionship with God through naw a fil [supererogatory S al a t ]. There are naw a fil [works of supererogation] in everything. Every right deed beyond the obligatory is included in naw a fil. When a person progresses in naw a fil , God Almighty says that I become his eye through which he sees. I become his tongue with which he speaks. 1 God Almighty says that the person who fights with My wal i [friend] should prepare to fight with Me. Those who genuinely love God also become self-sufficient and free of every need. They do not worry about being rejected by people. Those who worry about people make people idols. The servants of God possess great compassion, but at the same time, there is also an attribute of utter disregard for any worldly things attached to them. They do not worry about the world. Before them lies the grace of God such that the world comes to them as if being pulled towards them. Advice to the Jam a ‘at Our Jam a ‘at should be such that it does not remain content with mere rhetoric but should strive to fulfil the true purpose of taking Bai‘at [the Pledge of Allegiance]. An internal change should be realized. You cannot please God simply by grasping some doctrinal issues. If there is no internal change, then there is no difference between you and others. You will be destroyed before the others if machination, deceit, indolence, and laziness are found within you. Everyone must bear their burden and ful- fil their promise. Do not trust life. Look!
