Return unto your Lord, well pleased, well pleasing!
Irjiâ ™I ila Rabbi-ki radiyatan mardiyya. (89:28,29)
Can you see yourself content with the roses of the Gardens of Paradise, or satisfied with the silken garments of the Orchard? How could Majnun be happy with anything less than Layla in full bloom? How could the lovers relax in comfort, without the fragrant scents of ambergris?
Bodies have been melted in the realization of worshipful servitude. How could they not rejoice in the seats of togetherness [â ˜indiyya]. Eyes have stayed sleepless through the gloomy nights. How could they not delight in the witnessing of intimate friendship? Hearts have been tormented by amorous yearnings. How could they fail to drink from the pure juicy wine? Spirits have been imprisoned in sensory forms. How could they not roam freely in the sacred meadows, graze in their lofty pastures, drink from their refreshing springs, and put an end to any lingering trace of longing for relief from that cause of complaint? The judge of the ardent lovers will make a public appearance, and settle that case.
When they are addressed at the meeting with their Master [Mawla], He will begin by offering them the greeting [tahiyya], then He will instruct them to enter the Gardens of Eden, but they will reject them with disdain. They will swear that they looked for nothing apart from Him, that they had no intention of seeking anything apart from Him, and that they would not be content with anything existing in the universe. They will swear that their objectives were not inferior, so they had not forsaken the pleasure of life except to advance therefrom, through the link that is utterly superior.
The wine-director will offer them a cup, chosen from his very best, containing a salutary drink. As it passed around among the intimate companions, it will be welcomed in the early morning hours and in the evening. It will add to their comfort and their ardent longing for the radiant lights of His magnificent appearance.
By your Truth, if you do not allow and eye to see Your Beauty [Jamal], that is a miserable eye.
The ardent lovers have come to experience, through Your goodness, on account of longing for You, a gentle kindness for the common people. Hearts melt in yearning for You, and no trace of passionate desire remains therein.
If I decide, but You do not fulfill my purpose, I am subject to direction from Your love. I shall not be despairing at the meeting, O my God, that Your good graces will erase the sinful error.
How could there be denial, O my brethren, when, in the early morning hours, there are Lordly moments [awqat Rabbaniyya], heavenly indications, and angelic breezes? The proof of the truthfulness of this matter is that the birds in the trees are intoning the Davidian psalms [alhan Dawudiyya], the divergent streams are splashing in the fertile meadows, and the branches are dancing in fine suits of silk brocade from the Garden of Paradise. All of that is done in submissive obedience, and as an acknowledgement of His Uniqueness [Wahdaniyya].

Yes indeed, O people of love, the Lord of Truth reveals Himself in the time before dawn, and He issues the invitation: â œIs there anyone ready to repent, that I may relent toward him with a satisfactory acceptance? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him his sinful errors entirely? Is there anyone begging for charity, that I may grant him blessings and gifts in abundance?â
Yes indeed, once the spirits are pure, they will be in splendor, radiant and shining. They will be equally balanced in their spiritual states and all disaster will be meaningless to them. Without a doubt, the scent of their tears will be fragrant on all the horizons.
Through their patient endurance of some separation, they have earned the right of attainment to the exalted ranks. The authenticity of their sayings [ahadith], concerning the degrees of the lovers, is established by reliable transmission [musnada marwiyya]. They pass without question, and their needs are fully met.
The gift of love had come to be crystal clear. How well it deserves to be celebrated in brilliant rhymes [qawafi], and in a splendid creed [â ˜aqida], based on the principles of the Hanafi, Shafiâ ™i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools [usul madhahib al-Hanafiyya waâ ™sh-Shafiâ ™iyya waâ ™l-Malikyya waâ ™l-Hanbaliyya]!

May Allah (Exalted is He) protect me, and all of you, from those who split apart and go astray, as arrows stray from their target. May He include me, and all of you, among those for whom there are lofty halls, with lofty halls built above them.
May Allah bless our master Muhammad, the noblest of humankind, and his family and his Companions. May He single them out for the most noble salutation, and may He grant them abundant peace, constantly renewed in endless succession, every morning and evening.
Amin, and again Amin.
uh huh...
