THE SUHBAT OF THE AHLULLAH

My Sheikh cites a different comparison in regard to the suhbat of the Ahlullah. He states that a person desires cold water but cannot enjoy the same because he does not have a
fridge. Since his neighbour has a fridge, he requests this neighbour to keep his bottle of warm water in his cold fridge, so that he too may enjoy cold water.

Quenching his thirst with cold water, on a hot day, will inevitably make him purchase his own fridge so that he too enjoys cold water whenever he desires.

Thus, until a person does not have a fridge of his own, he should make friends with someone who has one and who will refrigerate his bottle of water and have it kept cooled.

In other words, if we don’t have the Love of Allah in our hearts, and our hearts have become heated due to the commission of sins, then make friends with those who have the coolness of the love of Allah Ta’ala in their hearts. Within a few months, if not a few days, Insha Allah, that
coolness will transfer.

This companionship will make one buy ones own ‘fridge’.
