Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani

Persian Kalam 10

Sufi Quotes 35

Abdul Qadir al Jilani one morning was still asleep at the time for the Morning Prayer. A cat came over to his side and nudged him until he awoke. Noticing the lectures of the time, Abdul Qadir quickly made his prayers. When he had finished, he looked at the cat. With his spiritual insight, he saw that the cat was actually a devil. This puzzled the great saint. So saint asked - I can see you are a devil, but why on earth did you wake me for the prayer? The cat answered - because you have discovered me, I might as well tell you. I knew that if you missed your obligatory prayer, you would offer one hundred prayers as compensation, so I woke you up so that you would get only the benefits of the one.

God said, through the prophet - man is my secret and I am his secret. The inner knowledge of the spiritual essence is a secret of my secrets. Only I put this into the heart of my good servent, and none may know his state other than me.

Always fear God and don’t be afraid of anyone else. Commit all of your needs to Allah and beg everything of Him and trust in Him. Be steadfast on the Unity of God as there is consensus on this.

Keep good intention before you, whether you talk or are silent. He who does not keep good intention before any action, his actions are invalid.
