ايها الولد In the Name of Allah (God), the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful. All praises belong to Allah alone, the Lord of all the universes and blessings and peace of Allah be upon His messenger Muhammad and on all of his descendents and followers. My dear beloved son and true friend! May Allah, the Exalted, grant you a long life for His worship and obedience and may He enable you to walk on the path of His beloveds. You should know that the fountain of all good counsel is the holy existence of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) because the constitution of all counsel is based on his Ahadith (traditions) and Sunnah (outward character and conduct as well as internal states). Every counsel (advice) contrary to his Ahadith (traditions) and Sunnah (outward character and internal states) will be of no benefit.
English translation "My Dear Beloved Son or Daughter"
Imam Al-Ghazali"
Countless accounts of advices have been written and told in the light of the Ahadith (traditions) and Sunnah (outward character and internal states) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). If you have received any guidance from them then you do not need any advice from me. However, if you have not received any counsel from the counsels of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then tell me, in all these years, what knowledge have you acquired from me? My dear beloved son! Among the counsels of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), is the counsel: “’Alamatu I’radiAllahi ‘Anil ‘Abdi Ishtighaluhu Bima La Ya’nehe Wa Inimra’un Zahabut Sa’atuhu Min ‘Umrihi Fi Ghairi Ma Yukhlaq Lahu Lihariyyun Ayyatula ‘Alaeyhe Hasratun.” “A servant of Allah’s involvement in useless things is an indication that Allah has removed His special favors from him/her (or has removed him/her from His Grace). And if the servant is spending even a moment from his/her life on things other than for which Allah has created him/her for, then it’s a matter of great sorrow.” Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has furthermore said: “Mun Jaawazal Arba’eena Sinatu Wa Lam Yughlab Khairuhu ‘Ala Sharrehi Fal Yatajahhaza Ilan Nari.” “An individual whose state, even after forty (40) years of age, is such that good in him/her does not prevail over the evil in him/her, then [this individual] should get ready to go to Hell.” My dear beloved son! It’s very easy to give this advice to all the people of the whole world but it’s very difficult to act upon it oneself. It’s because, those in whose hearts the pleasures of the world and following of their desires [from the lower self] dominate, they find the advice and guidance bitter. These people’s hearts are trapped in the worldly desires and pleasures. In this respect, this individual is worthy of special mention, which learns wisdom, philosophy and worldly learning like that and thinks that this knowledge will be a cause of salvation for him/her in the life hereafter along with earning for him/her fame and prestige in the world. He/she thinks that it’s not necessary to act on this knowledge and that he/she is exempt from acting upon it. This belief, which is wrong, is of those who study philosophy. All Glory and Honor to Allah the Great.
