Question:
EN UN SOHBET QUE DIO SHEIKH NURJAN EN ARGENTINA NOS DIJO QUE LE PREGUNTEMOS A LOS SANTOS QUE PLANES TIENE ALLAH CON NUESTRA VIDA, CON NUESTRO TRABAJO. ESTOY CERRANDO UN NEGOCIO DE VENTA DE ROPA AL POR MENOR(ROPA QUE YO MISMO HAGO) MI IDEA ERA TRATAR DE VENDER LA ROPA AL POR MAYOR PARA DISPONER DE MAS TIEMPO Y DINERO(PERO EN ESTE MOMENTO SIENTO UN GRAN TEMOR QUE ME HACE DUDAR DE LA DECISION INICIAL) COMO PARA PODER IR A VISITAR A MAWLANA SHEIK NAZIM E IRNOS A VIVIR AL CAMPO A MENDOZA CON SHEIK AHMED HACE AÑOS TENEMOS UN TERRENO PERO TODAVIA NO HE PODIDO EDIFICAR NADA . AGRADECERIA SU CONSEJO SHEIK HISHAM
Translation:
In one of Sheikh Nurjan´s sohbet, when he was in Argentina, he said to ask the saints what plans Allah has with our life, with our work. I am about to close a shop that sales clothes (made by myself). My intention is to try to sale by bulk in order to have more time and money in order to be able to visit Maulana Sheikh Nazim and move to the countryside in Mendoza with Sheikh Ahmed. Since a few years we have a lot there but we haven´t been able to build anything yet.
But at this moment I feel a great fear that makes me doubt in my initial decision…I would be very thankful to receive your advice, Sheikh Hisham…
Answer:
Lo que Allah planifica para Su servidor nadie lo sabe excepto Allah swt, y los awliyaullah tienen inspiraciones y dependen de su nivel. Si Allah swt te está dando tu rizq (provisión) en ese negocio no cierres tu rizq. Eso es injusto y no está bien, donde Allah swt es generoso contigo tu estás diciendo yo no quiero eso. Puede ser que tu presencia en la ciudad atraiga a más personas al Islam…¿Para qué cerrar esa puerta?
Translation:
What Allah swt plans for His servant no one knows except Him, and awliyaullah have inspirations which depends on their level. If Allah swt is giving you rizq in that store don’t close your rizq. That is unfair and not nice where Allah swt is generous with you and you are saying, “No, I don’t want that”. It might be that with your presence in the city you can bring more people into Islam. Why close that door?
