what is essential for those walking on the Path of Allah, the Exalted (i.e. the seekers of Allah).
[First condition is that] You should have the knowledge that the first thing that should be present [in a seeker of Allah] is the belief of fear of Allah to such an extent that a seeker does not get involved in an innovation (bid’a, i.e., a matter which is contrary to the established principles of Quran and Sunnah [teachings, actions, outward conduct and inner states of Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) such as contentment, patience, gratitude, certitude in God, intimate relationship with God, Ma’arifah (deep intimate knowledge and recognition of God], intense love of God, etc.)]).
The second condition is that true and complete repentance (Taubatun Nasuh) should be done in such a way that [a seeker of Allah] will not return to this humiliation [of sins].
The third condition is that even enemies should be kept satisfied to such as extent that none of the creations has any obligation left on him/her.
The fourth condition is that one [a seeker of Allah] should acquire [enough knowledge] from the knowledge of Shari’ah (Divine law) so that through it, he/she will be able to follow and obey the commandments of Allah, the Exalted [that are obligatory on him/her].
It is not an obligation to learn from the knowledge of Shari’ah (Divine law) anymore than that. From other branches of knowledge one should learn to the extent that is obligatory on him/her.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
