 Al Fatah Ar Rabbani 33

To see one who loves Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) is to see one who has seen Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) with his heart, who has entered His presence with his innermost being. Our Lord (Almighty and Glorious is He) is a visible entity. As the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) has said:
You will see your Lord as you see the sun and the moon, not disputing amongst yourselves the fact that you see him.
Today He is seen with the eyes of their hearts, tomorrow with the eyes in their head:
فَاطِرُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَمِنَ الْأَنْعَامِ أَزْوَاجًا ۖ يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِ ۚ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ [٤٢:١١]
(He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means does He multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things) (42:11).
Those who love Him are content with Him to the exclusion of all others. To Him alone they turn for help. For them the bitterness of poverty becomes the sweetness of doing without this lower world, of being content with Him and enjoying affluence with Him.
Their wealth is in their poverty, their comfort in their affirmities, their friendship in their loneliness, their nearness in their remoteness, their relaxation in their weariness. How blessed are you, O patient ones, O contented ones, O you who pass beyond your lower selves and your passionate desires.
O my people! Adapt yourselves to Him, and gladly accept His workings within you and in others. Do not preen yourselves and pit your minds against the One who is more expert than you. Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) has said:
Allah knows, and you know not. (2:232)
وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Stand before me bankrupt of all your intellect and all your acquired knowledge. To obtain His knowledge, let your minds go blank and make no willful choice. Be helpless at His disposal, till knowledge comes to you. Bewilderment first, then awareness second, then thirdly arriving at the facts. The intention, then reaching the desired goal. The wish, then achievement of the desired purpose.
Take heed and act accordingly, for I am twisting your cords, I am twisting your slack cords and reconnecting those that have been split. I have no concern but your concern. I have no anxiety but your anxiety. I am a bird; I glean wherever I alight. The serious business has to do with you, O stones discarded, O cripples overburdened, shackled to your lower selves, fettered by your whims and passions!
O Allah, on me have mercy, and on them have mercy!
