Whereever You Are, Be with Allah

Whereever You Are, Be with Allah

Ibn Ata’illah in his Hikam says: “Do not seek to move from one state to another, for that is a sign of your inner self’s lack of contentment with the divine plan.” If you find yourself in a state of obedience, be content—do not wish for another condition. But if you find yourself in disobedience, then it is upon you to immediately seek Allah’s help, to repent sincerely, and to strive with urgency to return to Him. The best state is the one in which Allah places you, as long as your heart remains connected to Him.
