“‫”ألف النسك والعبادة والخلوة طفﻼ وهكذا النجباء‬

Translatioon:
“(Since) Childhood He is used to (engaging) in Worship, Servitude, Seclusion and that is how
noble Men (of Allah) behave”

Explanation:
This means that, the beloved prophet (SallaAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam), was protected throughout
His blessed life since childhood till He physically left the world from any kind of disdainful attitude
that do occur with children due to the kind of personality Allah already destined for Him.
He used to engages in worship, servitude, sitting alone and any other acts of goodness which a
perfect Human being could ever dream of.
As a child one learned Christian priest saw Him and recognize that, this is the promised prophet,
who prophet Isah and other prophet foretold about Him, but to be sure, He approached the
beloved prophet and said, and said
“ ‫”يا فتي إني أسألك فاصدقني‬
Translation:
“ Oh child I am going to ask you (a question) so be truthful to me”.
He then proceeded and asked the beloved prophet (SallaAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam) after the
prophet (SallaAllahu ALaihi wa Sallam) gave him the permission.
he said,
‫أسألك بالﻼت والعزي‬
Translation:
“ I beg you with ‘Laata’ and ‘Uzza’ (names of idols)”
The beloved prophet (SallaAllahu ALaihi wa Sallam), even at that age, He said to that priest,
‫ﻻ تسألني بلﻼت والعزي وﷲ ماأبغضت شئا بغضهما أبغضهما لكونهما يعبدون من دون ﷲ تعالي‬
Translation:
“ do not beg Me with ‘Laata’ and ‘Uzza’ , For I swear by Allah, I have never hate anything more
than the hate I have for them, due to the fact that, they are been worshiping at the expense of
Allah Ta’ala” (SallaAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam).
This clearly shows a gist of His spiritual manifestation even at that stage of His Life, He was fully
occupying the position of Eaman and Ihsan. Why not? When He is the cream of Allah’s creation
from the topmost angels to the deepest devil of every kind, there is no one comparable to Him.
He(SallaAllahu ALaihi wa Sallam) is a Unique among the unique creation of Allah...
As a child, He never engages in any act of Jaahiliya which was by then prevalent in the Arabian
peninsula...Every actions and inactions of the beloved prophet(SallaAllahu ALaihi wa Sallam) ,
was a careful orchestrated by the Lord of All worlds from the very time He created His Nur till it
reaches His Mother and this continues throughout His life(SallaAllahu ALaihi wa Sallam).

“ ‫”وإذا حلت الهداية قلبا نشطت في العبادة اﻷعضاء‬

Translation:
“When Guidance fall into a heart, the body will busy itself in Servitude.”

Explanation:
The guidance which falls into the heart are the divine support that bend the heart of a servant
towards Allah and erases anything other than Allah, and when this happens the servant will not
turn towards anything except that, the thing in question will get him closer to Allah and will not
depend on anyone but Allah.
This state will then bring forth unconditional divine love so that, every organs inside his body will
busy itself with worship. There is no doubt that, when divine love and support find itself in the
heart of a person, there will be an automatic response by every organs of His body, which will
then busy and competing itself with worshiping Allah.
Continues and repeated acts of worship will then bring forth the fruit of protection against
heedlessness and forgetfulness, so that, the person will become a true servant of Allah.
This is the reason why we are always been encouraged to pray salat both compulsory and
supererogatory, our daily awrads and other azkar so that, by continues doing it, we shall reach a
stage of awareness and witness the sweetness of our worship because there is nothing in life
that is more suit than worshiping Allah in a state of awareness and reflection.
