SEEKING THE LAWFUL MEANS OF APPROACH TO ALLAH
All praises and thanks are due to Alláh, the Greatest, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful, Owner and Bestower of the great favor and tremendous bounties. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Alláh, Alone without partners, and unto Him belongs the Most Noble Sovereignty. I bear witness that Muhammad (pbuh) is His slave and Messenger whom Alláh described:
“And verily, you (O Muhammad (pbuh)) are on an exalted (standard of) character.” (68:4)
O Alláh! Bestow Your mercy, forgiveness and blessings on Muhammad, his progeny, his Companions and all those who followed their guidance.
O people, fear Alláh the Exalted:
“O you who believe! Do your duty to Alláh and fear Him. And seek the Wasilah (means of approach) to Him, and strive hard in His Cause (as much as you can), so that you may be successful.” (5:35)
‘Fear Alláh’ in this Ayah pertains to avoiding Kufr (disbelief), sin and disobedience. As for Jihád in Alláhs Cause, it pertains to striving hard against the people of misguidance, disbelief and atheism. ‘Seek the Wasilah to Him’, pertains to drawing close to Alláh by adhering to the pillars of Faith, the laws of Islam and acts of Ihsan (excellence in the religion).
He who worships Alláh and invokes Him by His Names and Attributes, has sought the best means of approach to Him. He who invokes Alláh on account of His favors, bounties, generosity and kindness, will have sought the path of the chosen righteous believers.
He who seeks the means of approach to Alláh by avoiding what He has disallowed and working for His pleasure, will no doubt earn all that is good and righteous. He, who seeks the means of approach to Alláh by mentioning his need and meekness to Him, will have used the best way of drawing closer to Him.
As for he who seeks the means of approach to Alláh by mentioning the grade and status that some of His creation have with Him, he is an innovator in the religion and an unjust person. He who invokes the creation for help and relief, claiming that he is seeking a means of approach to Alláh through them, then he is a Mushrik (polytheist) and a disbeliever.
Therefore, invoke your Lord by praying often, reciting His Speech with humbleness and humility and being kind to His creation, for He likes the good-doers. Seek the means of approach to Alláh by being dutiful to parents and keeping relations with kith and kin, for Alláh keeps relations with those who do so and severs relations with those who shun their relatives. Seek the Wasilah to Alláh by fearing Hill and hoping and trusting in Him, for Alláh loves those who trust in Him. Remember Alláh always by your words and seek His forgiveness, for truly, those who remember Alláh in Dhikr will acquire ultimate happiness. Seek the means of approach to Alláh by loving your Prophet and reciting the Salát (blessings upon him) for his benefit. Surely, he who often recites the Salát on the Prophet, then Alláh will suffice for him concerning all his needs. When one says Salát once on the Prophet(pbuh), Alláh will give him ten times that Salát, and he will earn the Prophet’s love and Shafá’ (right to intercede with Alláh on his behalf on the Day of Judgement) by Allah’s Leave. Seek Allah’s pleasure by being kind to the orphans, the weak and even with animals. Surely, Alláh gives mercy to those among His slaves who are merciful, Seek Alláh by riddíng your hearts from all types of sin, envy and rage on Muslims, and by offering sincere advice and being compassionate with all creation. Seek the Wasilah to Alláh by abandoning whatever the evil inner self commands one to do and satisfy of sin, lusts and desires; protect your sight from illegal things, preserve your tongue from uttering evil and stay away from all types of beliefs, actions and statements that Alláh has disallowed. Seek the Wasilah to Alláh by having perfect sincerity and obeying the Messengers. Alláh willing, if you do this, you will earn all that you seek, that is good and beneficial. May Alláh direct us to the blessings of the Glorious Qurán and benefit us with whatever is in it of the Ayat and Wise Dhikr. [ say this and ask Alláh the Great, the Most Honored for forgiveness for me, you and all Muslims for every sin. Invoke Him for forgiveness, for He is the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
