The Ahwal of the Swuhbah
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh Muhyi ad-Din Abu Muhammad ibn Abu Swalih ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (q.s.) said, as recorded in Jila’ al-Khathir, addressing his congregation from the minbar, “This is something beyond the comprehension of the creatures. All that appears of it is merely an atom from its mountain, a drop from its sea, and a lamp from its Sun. O Allah, I apologise to You for speaking about these secrets, but You Know that I am overwhelmed. A certain righteous person once said, ‘Beware of what merits an apology.’ But when I get up to sit on this chair, I become unaware of anything but You to the extent that no one is left in front of my heart to apologise to and restrict myself because of.”
