So if such a woman [who abandons the path] is standing in the Divine Court on the Day of Judgement,
God will ask her, ‘Why did you abandon my path?’
If she says,
‘O God, my husband’s tyranny forced me to abandon the path’.
God will say, ‘Summon Asiya’...
The Question God Will Ask Women
What will happen on the Day of Reckoning
when a woman is standing before God?
And God shall ask the woman,
‘You found the path that leads to me...’
For instance, numerous women come here
and take Zikr e Qalb
and their hearts are activated
but then their husbands, parents, and siblings
frighten and threaten them,
and some women remain steadfast [on this path]
while others become frightened and leave.
They abandon the path.
So if such a woman [who abandons the path] is standing in the Divine Court
on the Day of Judgement,
God will ask her,
‘Why did you abandon my path?’
If she says,
‘O God,
my husband’s tyranny forced me to abandon the path’.
God will say, ‘Summon Asiya’.
Then God shall ask her,
‘Alright, tell me,
was your husband a greater tyrant than Asiya’s husband, the Pharoah?’
She will reply, ‘Well, no. He was not that cruel’.
And God shall say,
‘And yet, Asiya did not abandon me’.
Do you know the story of Asiya?
She had a love marriage [with the Pharoah].
She was the most beautiful woman.
Asiya (as).
The most stunning woman.
[The Pharoah] married her out of love.
However, the moment he found out
that she declared Moses to be the truth,
do you know what he did?
He had her stand in front of everyone in the town square
and awarded her the greatest punishment per his standards.
He disrobed his own wife.
She stood there completely naked,
covering her eyes with her hands.
He said, ‘Abjure your statement while you still can!
Accept me as the truth’.
She said, ‘Do whatever you want’.
He skinned her,
and then set her on fire.
Don’t think that you can shun God and his Messenger due to fear.
No, that is not possible.
This is where it shall be determined, because this is your test,
whether you want God or this world.
If your wife becomes displeased with you here in this world, let her!
There are plenty of fish in the sea!
If your husband becomes displeased with you, don’t just kick him out once, kick him 10 times!
You can find 10,000 other husbands
but there is only one God!
If you shun God,
you’re not going to find another God.
There is only one God.
This is why you must become determined
and strengthen your faith.
If you have found God, you shouldn't lose him at any cost.
However, when does this happen?
When does a human become aware?
When his heart is enlightened.
Then, his conscience tells him,
'If you are to lose your life, lose it,
but do not lose your Lord'.
This power comes from his spiritual heart.
His chest puffs up with determination and intrepidity
because his chest holds a spiritual heart that is enlightened with the light of God.
And one whose heart is void of divine light
can be scared off very easily.
This is the benevolence HDE Gohar Shahi bestowed upon us.
We were not capable
of purifying our lower selves,
of going to the jungles for 12 years.
Even if we were willing to go to a divinely ordained spiritual guide,
there was no Kamil Shariat in this era that would've helped us.
Where would we have gone to purify the lower self?
Whose door would we have banged our heads against
and begged for the method of purification of the lower self?
Whoever we would have found, wherever we would have gone,
they would have only looted and plundered us
and destroyed our faiths!
Because people in this day and age have a stone in their chests in place of a heart.
In this day and age there is no integrity left,
in this day and age there is no humanity left,
and no justice left in the people of this world anymore.
In this day and age, there are only charlatans everywhere.
HDE Gohar Shahi came and rescued us.
They strengthened our hearts.
They even said to us,
'Protect your heart.
Even if you are sinning it’s okay,
just protect your heart!'
Just protect your heart.
Even the Qur'an commanded this.
The Qur’an said, ‘hafizu…’
Which means: this thing that is hanging between the two sets of ribs,
keep protecting this salat which is ongoing.
As long as your heart continues [to commemorate God], everything else you shall be forgiven for.
‘hafizu ala salati wa salat ul wusta’.
‘Protect your zikr,
especially the zikr that hangs in the middle’.
All your souls become engaged in various types of zikr.
