Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani ...

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) imparted this good advice to mankind:

If you awaken in the morning ... 
And find that you are lacking nothing in the way of material sustenance ... 
And that you and your family are in good health ... 
Then don't burden yourself with worry ...

We are shouldering weekly, monthly and yearly burdens each day ... 
Why carry such baggage when you may walk unburdened and find all that you need awaiting your arrival at each station of your journey ??? 

You only exist here and now ... 

Tomorrow's "YOU" is only a fantasy ... 
As you can't even know if you'll live that long ... 

By inventing so many problems for yourself you are only making yourself ill ... 
Is this advice of the Prophet not enough evidence of his adherence to a way that leads man to felicity ???

Allah doesn't want His servants to suffer needless self-inflicted misery ... 
And He says:

Oh My servants, don't load heavy burdens on yourselves by worrying about the future ... 
Just bring yourselves in line with My will ... 
Accord with my purposes this moment ...
And then rest assured that I will help you keep your future moments similarly aligned with My will ...

When I am here in western countries 
I daily encounter people carrying the weight of anticipated problems ... 
It is so difficult in the modern world to escape from having this perspective 
And to concentrate on the moment in order to put it right ... 

With tens of thousands of problems in front of you all at once how should a solution seem possible ???

I often see people running into the masjid,  saying the obligatory prayers quickly and running out ... 

Sometimes I ask them: 

What's the rush ??? 

Then they nervously look at their watches and say: 

We have tarried in the masjid too long already ... 
We have so many things to do today ... 

I reply: 

It is laudable to be industrious and to look after your affairs well ... 
But who would look after your affairs were you to drop dead here and now ???

I am not encouraging people to spend their whole days in the masjid ... 
But only trying to remind people who are not only running after their sustenance
But leaping head over heels after ambitious all-encompassing undertakings 
That it is impossible to "master the world" 
And destructive to devote so much energy to their attempt 
And with so much abandon ... 

First of all 
The world already has a Master ... 
And addressing Him humbly 
And with presence of mind (not hurriedly) 
In your prayers is even more instrumental in attaining your sustenance 
Than rushing through the city ... 

Secondly
Far from attending to your affairs more efficiently by running
You are only likely to have a heart attack and die young ...

Don't live in a world of great big-time schemes ... 
For such schemes will not save you from trouble ... 
But entangle you in it even further ... 

Simplify your problems 
So that the solutions may be simple ... 

Also 
Don't regard your problems with a magnifying glass ... 
So that they are out of perspective ... 

That habit will destroy you physically and spiritually ...
