Bismillah is the beginning of all that is good

it was ready to journey to eternity both from this exile and from the temporary guest-house  of this world.  I exclaimed  to  myself  suddenly:  My God!  How can I endure these exiles and layers of darkness? My heart cried out:

 

My Lord! I am a stranger, I have no one, I am weak, I am powerless, I am impotent, I am old;

I am without will; I seek recourse, I seek forgiveness, I seek help from Your Court, O God!

 

Suddenly the light of belief, the effulgence of the Qur’an, and the grace of the Most Merciful came to my aid. They transformed those five dark exiles into five luminous, familiar spheres. My tongue declared:

 

God is enough for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.(3:173) While my heart recited the verse:

And if they turn away, say: God is enough for me, there is no god but He; in

Him do I place my trust, for He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.(9:129)

My mind too addressed my soul, crying out in such distress and terror, saying:

Cry not out at misfortune, O wretch, come, trust in God!

For know that complaint compounds the misfortune and is a great error. Find misfortune’s Sender, and know it is a gift within gifts, and pleasure.

So leave complaint and offer thanks; like the nightingale, smile through your tears!

If you find Him not, know the world is all pain within pain, transience and loss.

So why lament at a small misfortune while upon you is a worldful of woe?

Come trust in God!

Trust in God! Laugh in misfortune’s face; it too will laugh.

As it laughs, it will diminish; it will be changed and transformed.

As Mawlana Jalal al-Din,[1] one of my masters, addressed his soul, I said:
