The Realm of Sufism

God’s Promise to His Truthful and Trustworthy Servants

Among My servants are those who seem reluctant to place their feet upon the earth, while the earth itself longs for the touch of their footsteps, even though they are seen walking amongst people. They flee from the world and its distractions, yet it is through their blessed presence and spiritual grace that the people of this world find comfort and tranquillity. They do not raise their gaze towards the heavens, yet when the stars, galaxies, the moon, and the sun behold them, they shine with delight.

They neither ask of Me nor make demands, although what they truly seek from Me outweighs countless universes. I, their Lord, await their supplications, longing for them to pray so that I may honour them by granting acceptance to their prayers. The outward and inward realities of their relationship with Me are known neither to the inhabitants of the earth nor to those of the heavens.

These are the ones who dwell beneath the mantle of My Divine Grace. They are the very purpose and essence of creation, and the clearest manifestation of My refined Wisdom and Supreme Power. Indeed, they alone are worthy of beholding Me.

On the Day when the people of Hell have entered Hell, the people of Paradise have entered Paradise, and the affairs of the Day of Judgement have reached their conclusion, I shall lift the veil of My Divine Mantle and summon them before Me. I shall say:

“Come, My beloved ones! Come, you who wept in longing during your separation from Me. Behold Me, and quench the thirst of your eyes. I am your Lord, standing before you. Look upon Me—look to your hearts’ content.“
