Wow, Subhan Allah! Sayyiduna Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (1077–1166 CE), May Allah sanctify his secrets, said, You too, O seeker! Just two steps and you would reach your goal in both this world and the hereafter. If you wish for success [falah], you must endure with patience the hammer blows of my way of speaking. When my ecstasy [junun] overtakes me, I cannot see you. When the temper [tab] of my innermost being [sirr] is aroused, the temper of my sincerity [ikhlas], I cannot see your face. I wish to improve you and to remove the dross from your heart. I shall put out the fire [hariq] that threatens to burn your house down, and I shall protect the honor of your womenfolk [harim]. Open your eyes and take notice of what is in front of you. The squads of punishment and chastisement have come to get you. Woe unto you, O stupid fool! You will very soon be dead. All that you are now involved in must fade away and be scattered. This fellow here will have to part [yufariqu] with his children, his home and his wife, and then make friends [yurafiqu] with the dust, the grave, and either the stokers of Hell [zabaniya] or the angels of mercy [malaikat ar-rahma]. O passing traveler, O transient, O transferee, O temporary loan! Glory be to the One who treats you all so kindly [subhana man manna alaikum], O you who like to have fun without ever taking notice!
