Tafweez

Hazrat Maulana discussed the subject of Tafweez at length, since such a prescription is the need of our society, abounding with problems. Tafweez is resigning oneself to the decisions of Allah Ta’ala and accepting the goodness therein, whether apparent or not. It is indeed a beautiful concept to inculcate and develop within oneself. In adopting such resignation and submission to the decisions of the Decision-maker, Allah Ta’ala, one will experience tremendous peace and contentment.

Then there are times when the saalik seems to plummet from that “high” to such a spiritual low, such a spiritual “depression”, that he does not want to do anything. He finds that he has to now force himself to carry out acts of Ibaadah. There is no enjoyment in Salaah, in Tilawat, in Zikr and the feeling is burdensome upon the heart, as if a weight is holding him down. At such a time, what should the person do?

Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur`aan Sharief :
“…IF YOU ARE GRATEFUL, I WILL MOST CERTAINLY INCREASE FOR YOU (MY FAVOURS) BUT IF YOU SHOW INGRATITUDE, VERILY! MY PUNISHMENT IS INDEED SEVERE.”
[SURAH IBRAHEEM 14 : 7]
