How to Get Close to Allah

HOW TO ATTAIN CLOSENESS TO ALLAH TA`ALA

By Hadhrat Molana Hakim Mohammed Akhtar Saheb (Madda Zillahu)


*Keeping The Company Of Allah’s Beloved, Pious And Saintly Persons

Allah Ta`ala commands us in the holy Quran “O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are true (ie in words and deeds).(At Taubah:119)

Allamah Aaloosi R.A writes in his famous tafseer, Ruhul Ma`aani “Keep their company until you become like them”.

*ZIKRULLAH- Remembrance Of Allah Ta`ala

Allah Ta`ala commands us “And remember Allah in abundance, so that you may prosper”(Al Jumu`ah 10). It is important to consult a spiritual guide (sheikh-e-Kaamil) to learn the correct manner and procedure of zikr.

*Vigilance In Abstaining From Sins

Allah Ta`ala says in the Holy Quran “Leave (all kinds of) sins, open and secret, verily those who commit a sin will get due recompense for that which they used to commit”. (Al Ana`am 120). The sweetness of Imaan cannot be felt while indulging in sins.

*Abstinence From All Paths Leading To Sins

Allah Ta`ala has warned us to stay well clear from the boundaries’ of Haraam. “These are the limits (set) by Allah so approach them not”. (Al Baqarah 187)

*Firm Adherence To The Sunnah Of Rasulullah (S.A.W.)

Adhering firmly to the Sunnah of our beloved Rasulullah S.A.W. is a pre-condition for Allah Ta`ala`s love and closeness. This is very clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran “Say (O Mohammed S.A.W.) If you love Allah then Follow me, Allah will love you.(Al imraan)
