Sermon (219): Rizal said at the time of reciting La Talhiham Tijara

After the recitation of Ayah Rijal Latlahiham Tajarwa Wala Bi’an Zikr Allah – “Those are those whose trade and buying and selling do not make them oblivious to the remembrance of God,” he said, “Surely, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala has made His remembrance the seal of hearts, because of which they (Awa Maru Nawahi) began to hear after being deaf, and after being blind, they began to see, and after enmity and obstinacy, they became obedient, one after another in every era devoid of covenants and prophets.” There have always been some special servants of the Lord Almighty in whose thoughts He instills (truths and knowledge) in the form of ears and speaks to their minds with inspired voices, so they have lit lamps (of guidance and insight) in their eyes, ears and hearts with the light of awareness. Argument is the way in the deserts. He who takes a moderate attitude. As such, they praise and bless him and give him the glad tidings of salvation. Neither trade keeps them oblivious to it, nor buying and selling, they live with it for the rest of their lives, and with the voices of divine warnings, they call out in the ears of the negligent. They command justice and do it themselves. They have become aware of the hidden conditions of the people of Barzakh which did not occur during their long sojourn, and it is as if the Resurrection has fulfilled its promises to them and they have lifted the veil from these things in front of the people of the world, even as if they are seeing everything that others cannot see and hearing everything that others cannot hear. They have opened up and are ready to account for every small and big work with themselves. Such work that they were responsible for and they delayed or that they were prevented from, and they have always felt their backs precious with their sins, because of which they find themselves humble and helpless. Repentance and Confession standing on the floor of sin and crying out to Allah, then you will see signs of guidance and lights of darkness surrounded by angels. Peace be upon them. The gates of heaven will be open for them, the pillars of honor will be for them. In a place where Allah's eyes are focused on them, He will be happy with their efforts and their status. They breathe in the winds of forgiveness because of calling him, they are bound in humiliation before his majesty, their hearts have been wounded by the long period of grief and their eyes have been wounded by the abundance of grief and sorrow. And those who grow up with desire do not walk hopelessly. You should take account of yourself for your well-being, because the one who takes account of others is someone other than you.
