Description
Man cannot reach perfection unless he realizes that all power and might, true and real existence, belongs to Allah alone, and that he is nothing in the face of this immense existence and power. Therefore, we should never forget these "four nothing's":
1. All the troubles of the world are nothing compared to the torment of hell.
2. The most terrible degree of the torment of hell is to be deprived of seeing Allah.
It is nothing compared to deprivation.
3. All the blessings of this world are nothing compared to the blessings of Paradise.
4. All the blessings of Paradise are nothing compared to seeing Allah once.
These are not for everyone, but for those who know Allah. Many people think that the trash of the world is more valuable than Paradise. We seek refuge in Allah Almighty from falling to their level.
Hazrat Mevlana says in this regard:
"My turban, my robe, my head, all three of them.
they valued it. They valued me less than a penny.
Have you never heard my name in the world? I am
I am nothing, I am nothing, I am nothing..
(Rubais, 1421)
