Allah’s Endless Mercy Oceans

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani

Our Grandsheikh was speaking to me on the mercy of Allah Almighty: “Oh my son, up to where may we hope for the mercy of Allah? No limit. Don’t give up your hope of His mercy.” 

All dirty waters run into the sea, but does the sea become dirty – no, and what is the size of our sins beside Allah’s Mercy Oceans? On the night of his Mi‘raj, the Prophet was with Archangel Gabriel passing through the Seven Heavens when he saw a big door and asked for the key. “It is in your hands – la ilaha illa Allah Muhammadan Rasulallah.” 

He opened, seeing there endless oceans with one tree growing, and in that tree one bird, and in his beak a piece of mud. Gabriel said: “Th is is one of Allah’s endless Mercy Oceans, the tree represents the Universe, the bird is your nation, and the piece of mud is the sins of your nation.” What is the comparison of these sins with Mercy Oceans? It amounts to nothing.

The Prophet ÿwas ashamed to ask for anything that night because of Allah’s saying: “I am giving My Mercy Oceans for your nation. I am not in need of these oceans.” We must be ashamed also. He is facing us with endless mercy and we are facing Him with bad actions instead of goodness and thanks. Th erefore, on the Last Day so many people will wish for the Earth to swallow them up, to be non-existent. Allah likes servants to hope for His Mercy.
