Shaykh Nazhim (q.s.) said, “Years ago, as I was walking with my Grand Shaykh in Damascus, a football that some boys were playing with hit me on the head and knocked my turban off. I got very angry and turned around, shouting, “Oh you miserable brat!’ Grand Shaykh said, ‘Oh Nazhim Effendi, you have just lost your faith. How can you claim to believe that everything comes from Allah Almighty when you are ready to blame someone for something that hits you on the head? Do you not know that Allah is the Original Cause of that event? So why are you blinded by secondary causes? When that ball hit you why did you look to see which one threw it in order to quarrel with him? Do you not know that it is from Allah?’ Then I recited the confession of faith to renew my faith.”
