Hadhrat Ali (May Allah Ta’ala be well pleased with him) says: Treat your brother nicely even though he mistreats you.  Be close to those who go far from you and be good even to that person who opposes you.

I will place flowers in the path of those who place thorns in mine
He will get the result of thorns and I will get the reward of flowers.

Save yourself from the deceit of Satan:

Those who desire closeness with Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) (the Salikeen ) should be very alert about Satan, because Satan is always looking for a chance.  Whatever state Satan sees someone in, he traps that person using that state itself.  Every person knows this, but still falls into the trap of Satan.  Unless and until, a Perfect Master ( Shaykh e Kamil ) holds your hand, it is very difficult to cross this valley, which is full of thorns.

Once Hadhrat Ghawth Ul A’adham Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (May Allah be well pleased with him) saw that the whole atmosphere from earth to the skies is all illuminated.  Even the ‘Arsh is there.  He heard a voice: O Abdul Qadir! You have made much efforts in worshipping Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala).  In lieu of this, you are being excused from following the rules of the Shariah.  Now, it is not necessary for you to offer Salaat, fast or follow other laws of the Shariah.  Hadhrat Ghawth Ul
