“You have to ask for forgiveness every second of your life—every breath, every moment. For this moment say, ‘Al-hamdu lillah’ (all praise be to God), and for the next moment say, ‘Tawakkul-‘al Allah’ (I place my trust entirely in God). Try to establish this state, at least from now on—every one of you. Whatever happens to you at each moment, whether favorable or not, say, ‘Shakur (I am content). Al-hamdu lillah.’ There is no need for us to worry about what is going to happen in the next moment. We only need say, ‘Tawakkul-‘alallah (It is His will and His responsibility).’ God is in charge. Whatever happens comes from Him. And when that next moment comes and goes—no matter how it may turn out—we must thank God with contentment, and praise Him saying, ‘Al-hamdu lillah!’ From this moment on, if each one of you will do it in this way, all your sins will be erased and taken from you, and you will be in the presence of God. He Himself has accepted all responsibility for you. He Himself is doing every one of your duties. He is the One who is acting for you. We have to hand it all over to Him. This is the repentance (taubah) you are thinking might be done at the last moment. This is true prayer. This is the supplication we have to make to Him. Like that, my child, all the doctors and all the presidents in the Fellowship, all their children, and all the children in the world—every one of us needs to establish within us the state that hands over responsibility to the One who created us, the One who brought us here and protects us here. It is He who will summon us back and deliver judgment. If each of us can establish this state, we will never have sorrow or distress or suffering or agitation. Everything happens according to His will. He makes everything happen. We must reflect on this.” Copyright: Questions of Life, Answers of Wisdom, vol. 2, pg 12-13 Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Family Newsletter Jun – Jul 2001
