You must sail your boat according to the wind. The wind is not at your command, it is independent of you. The spiritual way tells you how to sail with the wind. Life is not supposed to be easy but with the tests come the rewards. Without the sadness how would we know the joy?

Where a Friend of God, Wali Allah, has spent 40 days becomes a maqam for him. So all the mosques and dergas in England, where Mawlana spent so many Ramadans, are now his Maqams, blessed like his grave with his holy presence. You can visit them when you are sad or stressed and find relief.

Mawlana established so many mosques all over the world. To be alive they must be filled with dhikr and prayer. Building a mosque is sadaqa jariya that continues to profit the giver even after he is dead. So many rich people do not and cannot give and they die and are forgotten. The smart ones are the ones who give.
