Love For The Awliyaa

According to Shaikh Aarif Abu Turaab Bakhshni (Rahmatullah alaih), when the heart of a man turns away from Allah Ta’ala in consequence of his addiction to disobedience and transgression, he makes the Awliyaa a target for criticism. He denies and ridicules them. (This is a sign of Allah’s curse on such a person).

Shaikh Aarif Abul Fawaaris Shah Bin Shujaa Kirmaani (Rahmatullah alaih) said that there is no Ibaadat better than love for the Awliyaa of Allah Ta’ala. Love for the Awliyaa is a sign of love for Allah Ta’ala. (This is based on the Hadith: “Good Suhbat (i.e. companionship of the Auliyaa) is better than good deeds.”)
