For The Believer, the begining and destiny 

when he is being tried and tested

Qutbul Aqtaab,Syedus Saadaat,Sheikhul_Mashaikh, Ghous Samadaani,  Mahboob Subhaani, Sulatanul_Aulia, Abu Muhammad, Al-Syed Sheikh Mohayyuddin Abdul Qadir , Al-Gillani   Radhi_Allahu Anhu   

Said: 

When the servant of Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala is tested with a trial, his first impulse is to cope with it by himself. If his own efforts get him nowhere he would look for help from other human beings, such as people in power, important officials, men of influence and means, and when he is ill he would look for medical doctors. If he still obtains no relief, he would then turn to Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala through prayers of supplication, humility and offering of praise.

As long as he finds it possible to manage on his own problems, he will not seek help from other people, and while human help is available he does not make efforts to turn to Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala.

Having finally begged from Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala, and only to find apparently no help seems to be forthcoming from Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala, he then throws himself down at His doorsteps, begging, pleading, entreating, offering praise and submitting his needs in fear and with hope. 

When Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala  does not grant acceptance to his  supplication, and ignores him; he then has reached the end of his tolerance. Only then, does he experience' the effect of the decree of Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala  and the action of His work, and so this servant passes beyond material needs and behavior, to survive as spirit alone. 

Since he now sees nothing but the Truth (al Haqq) in action, he becomes, of necessity , a totally convinced believer in the divine one-ness (Tawhid), affirming that in reality there is no agent but Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala, no dynamic or static force apart from Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala, and no good or evil, no loss or gain, no giving or withholding, no opening or closing, no death or 

 life and no honor or disgrace except in the hand of Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala. 

His status comes to resemble that of;   a suckling baby in the arms of a  nurse;     a corpse in the hands of a washer of the dead;  or  a ball on the receiving end of a polo- player's mallet-rolled and spun and knocked around,  though inert in itself and imparting no motion to other bodies.

Gone forth from his own self, out into his Master's work, he now sees nothing but that Master and His work, and neither hears nor comprehends from any other source. If he perceives at all, if he does hear and learn, His speech is what he listens to, and His knowledge is what he comes to know. 

His favors he enjoys, through His nearness he prospers, through His proximity he is graced and honored, by His promise he is pleased and reassured. With Him he feels at peace, and in His discourse he takes delight, while from all others he recoils and shrinks away. 

In remembrance of Him he finds refuge and support. In Allah Subahanahu Wa-Ta’ala, the Almighty and Glorious, he puts his faith and in Him he places his trust. By the light of His awareness he is guided, as he wraps and clothes himself therein. 

Strange marvels of His infinite knowledge he discovers, and of the secrets of His power he becomes aware. To Him he listens and from Him he learns, then for all this he offers praise, gives thanks, and turns to prayer.
