[4] Exalt Allah and His Shariah First and Foremost

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

When hearts exalt Allah, the souls would exalt Allah’s Shariah. Allah’s sanctities are exalted, and the state of affairs of the people is set right:

ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى ٱلْقُلُوبِ

Thus, what has been mentioned in the previous verses [Surah Hajj (27, 28, 29, 30, 31)] is an obligation that mankind owes to Allah. And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart. [Al-Hajj 32]

Exalting Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is a branch of knowledge and awareness of Allah, Glorified and Most High. The greater knowledge a servant (of Allah) has regarding Allah, the greater the exaltation, veneration, and fear of Allah, and the greater his fulfilment of that fear.

When the heart exalts its Lord, it submits to Him, yields to His judgment, fulfils His command, and humbles itself before Him, Glorified and Exalted is He. And the source of all types of deviation, diverse falsehoods, and misguidance among people is weakness of one’s exaltation of Allah or its absence in the hearts. [Paraphrased]
