Socrates,
Shakespeare, Voltaire… all had friends and companions. Our nation
knows that our Hans, Gorkut Ata, Mäne Baba, Magtymguly … all had
friends and companions.
Görogly
and Alp Arslan were not ordinary men. So who becomes haughty? Those who
are always successful may become arrogant. They may cause themselves to
be deprived of divine help and heavenly companions. The heavenly
companion says to that person, ‘You are haughty, but what could you do
if I did not help?’ If the man then follows the wrong path, the
wholeness, the integrity of the man, which is both earthly and heavenly,
which consists of body and spirit, will be lost and the man condemns
himself to loneliness.
May
Allah protect you from arrogance, and may you never distance yourself
from Allah!
O
may brother, never boast of your wealth; poverty is never far away!
O
my brother, never be grieved at your poverty; Allah, the All-Mighty, the
Protector of all, is behind the poor!
Mälik
ªah said: “O my Allah I can get rid of hunger. Save me from
satiety!”
Wealth
is a great burden. A burden requires a strong will. My beloved brothers,
it is time to live in comfort and wealth. I beg Allah that you may not
be led astray!
Allah
tests man with wealth or poverty. The rich man who does not restrain
himself goes astray, the poor man who endures his poverty patiently
achieves his goal and becomes fully human. A plant dies if it is
under-watered or if it is over-
watered.
Allah is the One who cherishes sustains and irrigates every heart and
soul!
