The Sun of Mercy
When the sun (which is only a creation) in the sky can convert impurities to
fragrant flowers and is creating bread in the oven, then what will be the
condition of Allah’s sun of grace? When the rays of Allah’s mercy shine on the
evil thoughts in the heart, those thoughts are changed to the light of piety.
Allah does not require capability or a certificate for giving. Maulana Rumi ()
have said;
When Allah can grant filthy impurities such garments and Noor, then what will
He be able to give his pure servants. Jalalud-din Rumi () is at a loss of
vocabulary to express what bounties Allah grants those salikeen and murideen
and those who tread His path.
When the sun of Allah’s grace rises on people’s hearts, their evil character
changes to virtuous character. The love which was being sacrificed for decaying
corpses is now being sacrificed for Allah in prostration. That love is
expressed now by placing the head on the ground in prostration by saying,
“Subhana Rabbiyal A’la”. Honor belongs to the one who places his head at the
feet of the Creator of the head. He will have no difficulties.
