Trust

“My son, your whole life can be contained in two words: Al-hamdu lillah and tawakkul-‘alallah, giving praise to God for everything and absolute trust in and surrender to God. Say, “Al-hamdu lillah,” and praise God for what is happening now. Say, “Tawakkul-‘alallah,” and give the responsibility to God for what is to happen at the next moment. May you perform these two duties in the same non-attached state as God does His duties.

“Make your life complete in these two words. After that, acquire the qualities of God, perform His actions, act with His conduct, coax His compassion into your heart, and feel all hunger as your own hunger and all illness as your own illness. Serve other lives and comfort their hearts in the way God does. That duty will become your exalted wisdom, your prayer, and your meditation.”

“M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen- a Sufi mystic, can best be remembered for his efforts to bring unity through understanding to the faithful of all religions.”
