In this short sohbet, Sheikh Bahauddin reminds us that true security lies not in outer circumstances but in the pleasure of Allah Almighty. In prison, in illness, even in the grave, a heart content with God turns any place into a sanctuary. The Sheikh asks us to shift our focus from the great Day of Judgment to the personal “Qiyāmah” within each soul – our own inner reckoning, which only Allah determines.
He also cautions against fixating on the timing of the Mahdi’s appearance. Rather than counting dates, we should prepare ourselves spiritually; when the Divine plan unfolds, the Mahdi will come as destined. This is more reliable than any human calendar, Friday to Friday or Saturday to Saturday. Trusting Allah’s programme brings a peace that no worldly event can disturb.
We are invited to live this trust daily: to seek Allah’s pleasure above all and let that inner joy shield us from the trials of dunya.
