Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: How can I be among the near servants of Allah?
Answer:
If you perform the deeds of the near ones with sincerity of intention, if you perform the deeds of the near ones with sincerity of intention for Allah the Mighty and Majestic, you will be like them, by the permission of Allah. Yes, this is not for people who have passed away and gone; no, this continues for everyone who acts as they acted and follows their path. But do not be certain for yourself, and we do not be certain for you; this is with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. We only say that you perform the causes, while the attainment of what is sought is with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
