Know Your Value!

'O son of Adam! I created everything for you and created you for Myself. My servant! Obey me, so that I make you like Myself or an example of Myself.'

Dear friends! According to these ahadith, you are vicegerents of Allah; you are like pears, king of the fruits! Appreciate your value, do not follow whims of your carnal soul, and obey God so that you can achieve a place that enables you to perform divine things. God has created the entire universe for you, and has created you for Himself. See how high a station He has granted to you!"

The Shaykh believed that one would be ranked among the human beings unless he attains the status of Divine vicegerency. He would say: "As spoons are for eating food and cups are for drinking tea, so also men are for turning into humans"
