Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali – Reflection 17
“So, I glorify and praise You for the extent of Your patience, greatness and generosity.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Pondering over this line would inspire and motivate us through tough times. If a family member whom we love does something which upsets us conflicts arise and problems occur the result of all which is a deep pain and ache in all those involved. In the time of distress we lower our guard and sink down to the level of the one who has done the fault. But sobhanAllah. We are closer to Allah then our family members or best friends and we do sins and...

“Would You, O’ Allah, ever disappoint our thoughts or let down our hopes? No never, O’ Most Generous!” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) My dear one, ask yourself this question like Imam Sajjad(A) did. Do we really think that Allah would ever let us down? If not, if truly and deeply don’t think or believe so, then why do we put our hopes in other then Allah? Why do we place the trust of our hearts in other then Allah? Why isn’t this ideological intellectual belief of us firmly rooted in our hearts? Why isn’t this belief manifested in our...

“O’ The delight of the eye of who sought You for refuge and dedicated himself to You! You are the well doer and we are the sinners, So pardon, O’ my Lord, the ugly that we have with the beauties that You have!” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Allah Allah, this sentence is driving me mad! Ah ah ah! What if we decided to dedicate ourselves to Allah? If you show some dedication and attention to a dog it will stand by your side and face even death. If you show some affection to a lady she will become a butterfly hovering around you. But what if you dedicated...

“What motivates and dares me to disobey You is Your patience with me, and what invites me to the lack of shyness (from You) is Your protection of my (concealed) sins. And what rushes me towards Your forbidden actions is my awareness of the vastness of Your mercy and the greatness of Your forgiveness.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) I don’t understand mankind. Allah is patient with us so we abuse this by neglecting Him and treading upon His right. Allah is merciful so we waste His mercy on our sins. SobhanAllah what spiritual heights we would be able to reach...

“If I feared that You may hasten my punishment, I would have avoided sinning [...] You protect the secretive sin with Your generosity and You delay my punishment with Your patience” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) What can I say O Allah more then that the greatest punishment of my sins being that You frown and turn away from me and take away the sweetness of worshipping you from me?! The more I sin and become occupied with this illusionary world, the… more I forget You, the more troublesome it becomes to worship You and thus You take away the pleasure of...

”For if any one today other than You would have known of my sin, I would not have sinned.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) *sigh*. I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why… :’(

”I am fleeing from You to You.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) SobhanAllah, only 3 words (هارِبٌ مِنْكَ اِلَيْكَ – “Harebo minka ilayk”) but what depth! Allahs knows whats deep irfani mysteries lays burried within these words!!

”Accept my prayer, O’ The Best who was ever prayed to! O’ The Most bountiful who was ever wished! My hope, my Master, is the greatest…” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) If you had only one wish, which would absolutely be fulfilled, from the Lord – whose greatness, generosity and mercy knows no bound – what would you pray for? Think about it for a second. What do you want in life? What is your greatest wish…? What is your innermost prayer? Then put your hope and wish in contrast with Imam Sajjads(A) greatest hope which he spends...

“If I contemplate my sins, O’ my Lord, I become scared, but when I remember Your generosity I become greedy.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) SobhanAllah. By looking at this world’s illusionary delights so many become greedy. Man hungers after sex, power and money and sells his soul to gain these three. But sobhanAllah, if we would contemplate the huge mountains of our sins we wo…uld truly be frightened, terrified. But if we would put it in front of the Generous Lord whose Hand of Mercy is open to all then those mountains would become like grains...

”My love is my intercessor to You. [...] I pray to You, O’ my master, with a tongue that has been paralyzed by its sin, O’ my Lord, I confide to You with a heart that has been doomed by its mischief. (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Oh that I knew what Imam Sajjad(A) is saying here! At first he says “my love is my intercessor”, and I was thinking “what about my love? My love is mere emotions and words, while the abyss of my sins are destroying whatever holy divine love… is inside my heart!” But then you reach the second line...

”O’ my Lord! You have brought me up in Your gifts, and bounties since I was youthful” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Ah, ah! We have grown up under His supervision, under His loving care, under His compassionate sight. It is He who has planted the seed of the love of Ahl al-Beit(A) in our hearts and if that love has blossomed and we find ourselves beings believers today then all praise is due to Him only!

“It is not from Your features, O’ my Master, to order me to ask and prevent the answer” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) I’m marvelled at with what adaab and eloquence Imam Sajjad(A) speaks with Allah. SobhanAllah it’s so beautiful, the wisdom is striking and the love is awe-inspiring. La illahe ill Allah. :’( ♥

“I assign my pleading to You by praying to You, doing this while knowing that I am not worthy of Your listening to me nor do I have a right on You to pardon me, but I do so because I trust in Your generosity” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) SobhanAllah what adaab! What respect! When we make duaa and have wishes in desperation we cry out to the Lord of the Universe, “Ya Allah! Please listen to me!!” But look at what Imam Sajjad(A) is saying here. He says, “I know I’m not worthy …of You listening to me!” SobhanAllah what respect! This...

”You do not veil Yourself from Your creatures unless their own misdeeds would block them from You.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Ah, ah! What lines! It is not Allah who has veiled Himself from us, it is WE who have veiled OURSELVES from Him?! So why don’t you see the malakut? Why are you sad that your spiritual state is dry? Blind? It’s all inside you! It is your faults, weaknesses, bad traits, sins! Remove them and the road will be visible and the angels upon it will welcome you! Ah, what enlightment! SobhanAllah! It’s all inside...

”O Allah! I find the roads of wishes to You wide open, And the rivers of hope to You vast and running, And counting on Your bountifulness (in times of need) for those who wished You freely accessible, And the gates of prayer to those who are disparate, wide ajar, And I know that You are for those who ask You in the position of answer.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Where else do you wish to go? The gate of the Merciful is open, you are knocking on an open door! In fact you don’t even need to enter, His mercy is so immense that if you only sit by the gate...

“All Praise is for Allah who dignified me by becoming the Disposer of my affairs, instead of making me rely on others who then would humiliate me” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Allahu Akbar. Indeed to be a servant of Allah is a pride. The glory lays in the one whom you are a servant to. Alhamdulillah that Allah has elected us to be His servants and has made Himself our gurdians. Alhamdulillah!!

”All Praise is for Allah whom I call upon with my needs then He answers me, even though I was slow when He calls upon me.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) Allahu Akbar. What a generous Lord we have who instantaneously answers a thousand of our wishes, in one night grants us the worship of a 1000 months, yet we are slow in serving Him and spreading the word of His love among those who don’t know in His creation. :’(

“O Allah, Do not discipline me by means of Your punishment, And do not subject me to Your planned strategy.” (Imam Sajjad(A), Duaa Abu Hamza Thumali) SobhanAllah what lines!!! :’( He is the best of planners. He plans against His enemies and He is always victorious. What if He runs out of patience with us and discipline us with His punishment and break our arrogance with His plan? Surely we would be crushed like a shell!!!
