Someone said to me lately, “If you are serious about Sufism, the world is perfect the way it is. It’s a mirror. It’s only your own imperfection you are seeing.”
I was complaining, and my friend said that complaints are only a result of my weaknesses and misjudgment of God’s wisdom.
Someone also said, “What is Tasawwuf? Finding happiness in the heart upon the arrival of grief.” Every sorrow and difficulty that one undergoes in the dunya is a window into a future happiness in Paradise, God-willing. The difficulty may also be a part of a training process God wants us to pass. This way we become stronger in our character and faith.
Tasawwuf is the most difficult science in Islam. The most difficult, but the most rewarding. :)
