 STUDY OF WISDOM 16

كيفَ يتصوَّرُ ان يحجبهُ شيىءٌ وهوالذى ظَهربِكلّ شيىءٍ

How can it be imagined that something veils Him when He is the One who made everything visible?

"How can it be imagined, if something can be a veil over Him, while Allah is the one who reveals everything."

"Among the things that show the existence of God's extraordinary power, is to be able to veil you from looking at Him with a veil that does not exist (that is, the shadow of the veil) in the presence of God".

Allah created various kinds of beautiful, beautiful panoramas. Beautiful appearance. So Allah created the eye to capture the image of beautiful colors, beautiful shapes. There is an image, there is an eye, it cannot be seen without light. So Allah created light.

Similarly, the creation of sound to be heard, the creation of the tongue to feel, so that you can feel the pleasure of coffee, the pleasure of everything. The universe was created, and all means to enjoy pleasure were created by Allah. But we sometimes fall asleep with all the pleasures that God has given us. Who makes delicious satay, is it Mr. Bejo or the one who created goats (Allah SWT created goats)? Is it what makes coffee good because it tastes good? Or who created the coffee plant itself (Allah SWT)?

Humans usually want to think disconnected, namely thoughts that do not reach the Creator. It's still only up to the satay maker, the juice maker, the nasi padang maker, not to who created the fruits for making juice, who created the goat for the satay ingredients, etc. If the presence of reason does not reach the Creator, then it is included in the Summum Bukmun Umyun .

The higher the knowledge of the scholars, the closer they should be to God. The more you glorify God, the more you glorify God. But in reality, many are more knowledgeable, more arrogant. Because his thoughts are cut off, his thoughts are veiled from Allah SWT.

How can Allah be veiled by something when Allah is the Creator of all things?

So, every time we hear, see, feel something, we return everything to Allah.

Many of the jinn and humans whose eyes are not used to see, their ears hear but do not hear, etc.

Many people want S2, S3, not to get closer to God, but simply to pursue worldliness. So when he gets 1 gold mountain, he will chase the 2nd, 3rd gold mountain, etc.

Ibn Athoillah explained to us that what is veiling us and we must get rid of it? Let's think about it:

1. People who are veiled because of sin. The sin he commits is like iron. If we don't remove it immediately, then our hearts will become more and more closed and corroded by sins. Naudzubillah. The handling step should be repentance, should be cleansing from all our outward and inner disobedience. Example: our eyes that still often see bad spectacles. A mouth that still likes gossip. Ears that still often listen to unimportant gossip, etc.

2. People who are veiled because of bad morals. Hijab has blockages in her ears, there are blindfolds in her eyes, because there is arrogance. People who are arrogant will not get Allah's guidance and mercy, and will not even get Allah's paradise. People who are arrogant are people who are hated by Allah SWT.

3. People who wear hijab because of malice towards others. It should be, if others are happy, we are happy too, if others are sad, then we are sad too. It is appropriate to love and cherish each other between people.

4. People are veiled because of greed. Our lust will never be satisfied, will never be satisfied. If we follow our desires in reading the Qur'an not to seek God's pleasure, then we will not be guided, but rather cursed. Astaghfirullah .

5. People wear hijab because they are careless or negligent. Many neglect God, forget Him. So do a lot of dhikr to Allah, a lot of tasbih, tahmid, etc. Then the dhikr that we express will be accepted by the heart, so that the heart becomes enlightened. Presenting Allah is our duty to revive our hearts ( Muhadloroh ). 

 

Example: Supposedly, when we eat there is a feeling "Masha Allah, this rice is God who brings it through farmers who Masha Allah is given the strength by Allah to plant. Then he moved people to grow chilies and grow spices. Masha Allah. If Allah has spoken like that, no one can hold back. Everything we do, present God.

This is all process. Lifelong process. We study, we learn, even though we have never seen heaven, never seen hell, etc. One day, if we always present Allah, then Allah will remove the veil from us little by little, etc., until it reaches Ainul Yaqiin.

When we can be successful, rich, who makes us rich? Allah on Sunday.

The more we know, then we should fear God more, be humble, obey God more. The closer to God, the more submissive.

Whatever knowledge there is in this world, we think about it until Allah SWT, then Allah will send us to the openness of life from Summum bukmun umyun fahum laa yarji'uun" .

When it comes to the external world, we see with our external eyes, when it comes to inner things, we see with basyirah (the eyes of the heart).

Allah SWT is closer than us, closer than our veins.
