The Book of Wisdom al Hikam of Shaykh Ahmad ibn Ata 'Illah as-Sakandari Saturday February 21st, 2009 Adams Center, Sterling, Virginia Shaykh ibn Ata'Illah (d. 708h/ 1309ce) was the third kalifah of the Shadhdhuli School, his teacher being Shaykh Abdu-l-Abbas al-Mursi, khalifah of Shaykh Abu-l-Hasan as-Shadhdhuli. He was Maliku faqih who became responsible for systematizing the teachings of his two predecessors who did not leave any written works. Al-Hikam is his most famous work, being a collection of aphorism which are the pure pith of the Shadhdhuli teachings on the ceasing of self-direction and total reliance upon Allah as the Planner in one's life. What Allah has already planned for us is far superior to what we can figure out for ourselves, so why waste time and energy plotting and worrying when Allah has already laid out a perfect path for our lives? He has made obligations, knowing that we are lazy and we procrastinate; He has left leeway in those obligations so we have the illusion of choice. He loves us more than we can ever love ourselves, so he drives everything out of us that might divert us from Him.

"When the help of Allah comes and the Opening, and you see people entering the religion of Allah in multitudes,
then hymn the praises of your Lord and seek His forgiveness. Truly He is ever accepting of repentance." (Q 110:01-03)
"It is He Who has sent down tranquility (as-sakina) into the heart of the believers so that they may add faith to their faith. To Allah
belong the forces of the heavens and the hearth and Allah is Knowing - Wise." (Q 48:4)
