EVERYTHING IS FROM ALLAHU TA’ALA

Imam-i Rabbani ‘quddisa sirruh’ states as follows in the 17th letter of the third volume of his book Maktubat:

We should meditate and realize that Allahu ta’ala alone blesses every favor upon everybody. He alone creates everything. He alone is the One who keeps every being in existence. Superior and good qualities of men are all His blessings and favors. Our life, reason, knowledge, strength, sense of hearing and speech are all from Him. He always is the One who sends innumerable blessings and favors. He is the One who rescues human beings from trouble and distress, who accepts prayers and keeps away grief and disaster. Only He creates sustenances and causes them to reach us. His blessing is so bountiful that He does not cut off the sustenance of those who commit sins. His covering sins is so great that He does not disgrace or hold up to scorn or tear the honesty veil of those who do not obey His commands or abstain from His prohibions.

He is so forgiving, so merciful that He does not hurry in punishing those who deserve punishment and torture (’adhab). He scatters His blessings and favors upon both those whom He likes and His enemies. He does not spare anything from anybody. And as the highest, the most precious of His benefactions, He points out the right path to happiness and salvation. He warns us not to go astray, so that we go to Paradise. And He orders us to adapt ourselves to His beloved Prophet (sall-Allahu ta’ala ’alaihi wa sallam) in order that we may attain all the infinite blessings, endless and inexhaustible pleasures in Paradise, and His own approval and love. Thus, Allahu ta’ala’s blessings are as obvious as the sun.

The favors which come from others, in fact, come from Him. He, again, is the One who makes others intermediaries and gives wish, power and strength to do favors. For this reason, He is always the One who sends all the blessings that come through all places and all people. To expect favors from anybody but Him is like asking for something from the custodian or poor.

The person who only thinks of attaining Allahu ta'ala's love every morning will be given his wishes for this world and the Hereafter by Allahu ta'ala. Hadith-i-sharif
