We establish so that we can reach the result. 🔘 When we say that God will give you success, or God willing, you will be successful, or, in Rumi's interpretation, we ask God for good manners, which means, God willing, he will sort things out. I may know five or ten reasons and provide these reasons, but in order to reach my destination, other reasons are necessary that do not reach my mind and are not available to me. 🔘 The word Tawfiq is the one that has actually replaced luck. When you say that so-and-so is lucky and good luck is his friend, it means that he is successful, it means that the causes and causes are aligned so that he reaches his destination. The causes and causes were arranged in such a way that he himself does not know how they were arranged, but he has reached his destination. This is what we say in philosophical language, monkey Qurans, that is, there are symmetries and things sit on top of other things, which are all monkey and blessed and have good results. We can also have unlucky Qurans, which we call bad luck or bad luck. Ironically, happiness comes to us and not all of it can be planned and designed. Someone can use a thousand ways but not reach the destination. 🔘 If we ask Rumi, he says: If you feel that you have the will to do something, know that success will come to you. It was not in you to do the work, and when you feel that you are motivated to not leave a task until it is finished, this is one of the factors of success. Sometimes a person gets bored and becomes lazy and doesn't look for anything, this is a sign of failure. 🔘 We always ask God for success in good deeds, but you should know that success is also necessary for bad deeds. In bad deeds, although we do not attribute success to God, there is no problem if we do, this is not a matter of politeness, it is a matter of telling the truth, that is, things that we think are bad do not mean that they are also bad for God. Some people think that what we consider bad, God withdraws his hand. 🔘 Just as we have supplications for Leh, we also have supplications against it. It cannot be said that if you give medicine to someone with good intentions, they will get better, and if you give poison, the poison will not work and nothing will happen. If you consider prayer to be an effective factor in the world, cursing is also a prayer against someone. It is not said anywhere that God has promised not to answer curses. Cursing should be effective because cursing is also a kind of prayer and it will happen when someone asks for it urgently. 🔘 Success in a causal system is one way, but in a non-causal system, of which Rumi is a follower, promoter, and preacher of that system, it finds a different meaning. Rumi is one of those who does not believe in causality in this world. Those things that are apparently causes lose their causality due to circumstances. Rumi says that it is often the case that water extinguishes fire, but there is no reason why it should always be like this. In Maulana's school, success finds a stronger and more concentrated meaning. It means that things sit together that can give other results, but this time, with the help of God's grace, they will bring the desired result that we have asked God for. ----------------------------------------------------- Source: Maulana Jalaluddin School of Rumi Commentary on Masnavi - First Book - 12th Session of Abdul Karim Soroush
