Another letter from Sheikh Ahmed Tidjani to Sidi Hajj Ali Harazim (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret)

« After saying the Name of ALLAH and the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him),

May the peace, the mercy, and the blessing of ALLAH be upon you.

The following is from the poor servant of ALLAH, Ahmed ibn Muhammad Tidjani, :

Certainly, through His Own Will and Choice, ALLAH attributes rules and predestinations to his creature of which He –may He be glorified and exalted- retains the knowledge and secret of destinies, which no one, excepting a rare few among his creatures, can access. Therefore, the servants have no other alternative but to approve and submit, without seeking the Secret of his Will.

Know also that ALLAH, the Glorified and the Exalted, has a reward for each trial, relief for each burden, ease for each difficulty, openness for each narrowness, victory in return for patience and a blessing after hardship. Be patient, even more patient because each thing has its outcome and every situation comes to an end.

As for what happened to you, this is part of the manifestations connected to the situation that you experience and which must occur. It is indeed difficult to reach up to it, obtaining it is invaluable, but you will succeed in attaining it very shortly, so be patient and accept this.

We request ALLAH, Powerful and Magnified, that He acts towards you with His Approval both in this world and in the Hereafter.

Concerning your assumption with regards to your demise, have no fear.

May the prayer and the peace of ALLAH be upon our master Muhammad, his family and his companions. »
