22. The Fearful Consequence Of Attaching The Heart To Others Besides Allah
Friends, I am going to relate a very fearful incident to you. Allâmah Ibn Qayyim Jouzi (Rahimahullâh) states that there was a lover who used to secretly meet his beloved. Finally, when his end was near, his friends told him to recite the kalimah. Instead of the kalimah, he recited the following verses:O my beloved, your pleasure is more beloved to me than the mercy of the Great Creator.
May Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'la forbid. He died in a state of kufr (disbelief). What you do secretly can manifest itself at the time of death. This will cause a disastrous end to life and eternal damnation in hell. May Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'la protect us. Therefore, we should all expel others besides Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'la from our hearts. If you took the name of Ârzû, I will take out the heart.
We will not remain believers if we have any contact with the innovator. The poet was a believer who had a friend by the name of Ârzû. His friend was a bidati (innovator). When he became connected to the Ahle-Haq (the people on the correct path), he led a life according to the sunnah and he became averse to bidat (innovation). His heart used to continuously plod him on, "Let's go to Ârzû." Once he reprimanded his heart and said,
If you took the name of Ârzû, I will pull out the heart.
We will not remain believers if we have any contact with the innovator.
If we meet those who oppose the sunnah of Rasûlullâh Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then we are not believers. I will never meet such people.
I appeal to those friends of mine who have repented from their sins to completely leave the centres of sin. Tell the heart, "If you took the name of any sin, I will pull you out." If Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'la wills, I am announcing in the month of Ramadhân that if you spend a whole year without sinning, your heart will be completely purified. Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'la will change the urge to sin into a desire to do good.
