ONCE ALL LOVE IS DIRECTED TO ALLAH, DEPENDENCE ON SLEEP BECOMES VERY LITTLE. For instance, our Prophet (saas) slept very little because his body was not harmed.

THE BODY IS TORN MOSTLY BECAUSE OF FORGETTING ALLAH. THE BODY SUFFERS A LOT. The body pulls itself together by sleeping. It recovers from that enormous destruction only by sleeping.

Is there a problem of jurisprudence or weakness of faith? The weakness of faith. This is the problem of the entire world.

Once we lose faith, all those nervous breakdowns, physical disorders start. As faith is lost, a body becomes so devastated. Weakness of faith makes a person go nuts. As faith becomes more profound, he becomes more healthy, beautiful and good and his heart opens up, he feels relieved.

The images showing that people do not submit to Allah are miraculous. They are signs leading to faith. I am not talking about only examining the life of ants or analyzing the hour; one needs to examine how people tend to this life. This is a great sign leading to faith.

WEAKNESS OF FAITH IS THE SCOURGE OF THE WORLD. Since when? Since Prophet Adam (as). People are always put to the test with weakness of faith.

Weakness of faith is a grave sickness in the End Times. Weakness of faith is the number one issue. Therefore, one must always reinforce one’s faith, through the signs leading to it.

Just like the real world startling us when we wake up from sleep and making us say; "How clear it is here and how blurred it is while in sleep," those who die, see this life as blurred. Actually the life in this world is a dream as well.

When there is a weakness in faith, Allah scorches the world and does not give happiness. That was the reason for the collapse of the Ottomans, that was also the reason for the collapse of Seljuk Sultanate. When a bigoted structure develops, when a conservative structure develops, when arts, science, love decreases, when people become estranged from the spirit of the Qur'an, disasters assuredly follows.

Our brothers should wake up happily for their prayers. How nice it is that when we wake up we see a bright and clear world. One might wake up paralyzed in the morning. One might wake up and see that he is physically disabled with his face disfigured. Or he might wake up and see that he is in Hell. How nice it is that Allah wakes us up nicely, feeling delighted.

Because of their weakness in faith, some people attempt to cover up the system of the Mahdi in their own minds. A Muslim would be cheerful, wise, sincere and natural. He would not adopt special manners.

Bigots have weakness in their beliefs. They do not attach that much importance to faith. They are after a romantic understanding of faith; a sentimental way of faith. They have an understanding of faith that can hardly be called faith. I mean they do not aim for high, profound faith.

The culture, knowledge, faith and reasoning of bigots are not in a way that could reinforce the faith of the people they come across or that could be instrumental to their faith. Their way of talking is very superficial. In general they almost never get into faith related matters.

What a beautiful environment of trial Allah has created. Allah veils Himself to the people with weak faith, and opens and shows Himself even further to strong people. Faith then becomes precious, it becomes even more beautiful. That is because you find Him by searching, you give make effort to that end.

Profound faith is the greatest comfort in the world. Profound faith should be asked for from Allah. In weakness of faith a person goes to bed in pain and wakes up in pain. Such a person wakes up devastated. Even their dreams, their eating and drinking, their waking up are all troublesome and unsettling. May Allah forbid.

We are in a state of sleep right now. Life is a sort of sleep and we are dreaming. When we die, we will be awakening from this dream.

Almighty God creates life in a state of sleep; the Qur'an refers to this deep secret. People do not know that they are in a state of sleep in this world. Actually, they all are in a dream right now, they all are dreaming. Some of them, for instance philosophy researchers, realize this fact in a state of awe and dismay.

Sleep is the weakness of this world. Every day after a certain hour one feels sleepy. They go and lay down to die and arise from death hours later. They bathe, they eat, again they feel sleepy at night. The time to die comes and they go die again. In the morning they arise from the dead again. Dying and arising from the dead, dying and arising from the dead, one's whole life goes on like this. In the end, they die for real and then arise from the dead in another world.

A believer should always be in good spirits, full of life. If they feel down, sad or distressed about something, or they're bothered by something, the body will want to sleep to get rid of that feeling. But if one is happy, the body wouldn't want sleep, it would want to get up and live life instead.

God creates day and night, sleep and seasons, all to disturb uniformity. God doesn't want monotony.

Sleep is a form of death. Every person, in a way, dies every night and comes back to life in the morning. Waking up from death will be like waking up to real life from a lucid dream.

One’s senses and perceptions become clearer with death. When they die, people will feel like their lives were just like a dream.

ONE NEEDS TO FOCUS ALL HIS ATTENTION WITH A SHARP JOY, KEEN FAITH AND ATTENTION. We need to mature our faith and love and while doing this one needs to think rationally and reasonably to attain it.

We are not created in a way to find it difficult to have faith. WE ARE CREATED IN A WAY TO BELIEVE IN AN EASY MANNER. But a person assumes that there are very intricate notions, and he has to make tremendous effort. That is out of the question. The only thing is to OPEN ONE'S CONSCIOUSNESS AND LET IT BE RELAXED. That is it.

The conscience of a person has to be extremely at ease. He will be honest to the end. He will cease to worry about this world, for this world is a lie, not real. We see that this world is only an illusion. There is no point in bothering for this world. But we attain this idea only by thinking in a sincere manner. We do not urge ourselves to think this way, thinking that this world is really alluring.
