SERMON 45

About Allah's greatness and
lowliness of this world

Praise is due to Allah
from Whose mercy no one loses hope, from Whose bounty no one is
deprived, from Whose forgiveness no one is disappointed and for
Whose worship no one is too high. His mercy never ceases and His
bounty is never missed.

This world is a place
for which destruction is ordained and for its inhabitants
departure from here is destined. It is sweet and green. It hastens
towards its seeker and attaches to the heart of the viewer. So
depart from here with the best of provision available with you and
do not ask herein more than what is enough and do not demand from
it more than subsistence.
