Why we lack those emotions for Al-Malik?
Assalamoalaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,I was listening to one lecture by Ahmed Ali. If we were to get an invitation from Queen Elizabeth to have dinner with her, we would go insane out of the extreme happiness for who has invited us. We would get excited as the days pass by and the day we are supposed to have the dinner with the Queen Elizabeth. When there is only one day left, the night before, we won't be able to sleep out of the extreme happiness. This is how we respond to call of someone famous, and by meeting that person, we feel more honored and loved. This is the level of our happiness on the invitation of some kings. But where do all these emotions go when we are invited by The King of the kings, where does the happiness go when we are called upon with so much love, that we shall answer the call even if it be by crawling? Even if the kings invite us for serving them in some regard, we feel so much honored that the king considered us for his job. But where is that emotion when we are invited by The King of the kings, with so much love that He says, 'Come to
Success'? The King of the kings honors us by considering us for His worship. Even though, it does not benefit Him, or harm Him, it only brings good to us. No matter if we do it or not, it does not increase or decrease His kingship. But look at Him, who considers us, the weak little creatures to be the closest to Him. Where is our love for Allaah? Where is the taqwa? Fear? Hope? Have you seen any king in this duniyah calling you and saying, come serve me and I will make you so rich and give you what you can never imagine? Have you seen any king of this duniyah promise you success and happiness that is never-ending? There is no such king in this duniyah. However, The King who created these kings promises us never-ending happiness and success, yet that does not appeal us. Why? Ask yourselves, why?
The problem is the piece of flesh within our bodies. It has become corrupted and has caused our whole selves to become corrupted as well. When we have a chest pain or angina, we run to doctors for cure, but when this pain is spiritual, we ignore it until death reaches us and we die with a clogged heart; A heart clogged with the dust of disobedience and rebellion against its fitrah. When something goes against its designated route, it is bound to get stuck and fail miserably. When we do so, we don’t experience any trouble in the short term, but in the long term, we lose wretchedly.
This is the time to think and reflect, and to run towards The King who calls us only for our benefit. Who waits for us to ask and Who is more than happy to grant us our wishes when we ask for them. There is no king of this duniyah who would wait for you to ask him, or who would want to fulfill your wish happily, because he, himself depends upon The King of the kings.
