By Jomirun Nessa Acquiring benefit and realising the purpose of being in the company of the lovers of Allah I and thereby serving His deen have been her current utmost goals which she strives to fulfil till her last breath. The blessing of being in the enlightened and prolonged company of her teachers has helped her realise her goal in life. My wounded heart fled from my sin and it sought refuge within the arms of His mercy and forgiveness. I broke free from the chains of anguish, intense worry and grief and I flew towards the heavens of hope and steadfastness. Truly my sins had destroyed my happiness! Truly these sins had destroyed my soul’s happiness! For indeed, my soul found a tranquil joy only in the pleasure and contentment of its Lord brought about by His obedience. Indeed dear readers! It is not the human being that oppresses her. Certainly, it is her sins and slips that oppress her and stop her heart from soaring with harmony and joy towards the heavens of spiritual heights and closeness. NISBAH 32
