If the servant combines “what he says with the situation,” his status will be elevated with his

master, and whoever’s status is high with his master, his status will rise in souls, and what he
says will have an impact on hearts. “The words and the situation” are two parts of “one tongue”
that have the same importance in elevating the truth, representing it, and communicating it...
and if this tongue cracks with the truth, it will shake hearts.
IF THE SERVANT UNITES “THE WORD AND THE SITUATION,” HIS STATUS WILL BE ELEVATED
WITH HIS MASTER, AND WHOEVER’S STATUS IS HIGH WITH HIS MASTER, HIS STATUS WILL BE
ELEVATED IN SOULS.
This is the case with those who combine the adverb and the saying and do not separate
them; His words leave an indelible impact on hearts and are destined for eternity. In the
narration, God revealed to Jesus, son of Mary: “Exhort yourself with my wisdom, and if it
benefits you, then preach to the people. Otherwise, be ashamed of me.” In this, the clearest
explanation of the secret behind believing the word in action.
A person must, then, do what he believes in first, then go out to reveal - with detachment,
annihilation, and turning away from the self - the feelings that came from his chest, the echoes
that resonated deep within him, and the ideas that came to his mind as a result of doing what
he believed in. Indeed, let him be ashamed of the one who preaches - for example - about
tahajjud and standing while he is one of the heedless and asleep during his night, and likewise
the one who preaches about humility and submission while in his prayer he is heedless and
distracted and does not adhere to the proper etiquette and reverence before God, and does
not say a word about “a vow of a lifetime to others.” He had no “heart for others.” Yes, the
Creator’s wisdom has decreed that the effect of a statement depends on its penetration into
the one who said it and his implementation of it. He said warningly: “O you who have believed,
why do you say what you do not do? (Al-Saff: 2-3).
Let no one be under the illusion that when the verse warns the believers and denounces them
in the form of a question, it says to them: “Stop saying what you do not do.” Rather, it says to
them: “You have become an interpreter of the truth with your words, so why do you not
translate your words into actions as well?” Speech separated from action is one of the greatest
things that attracts the wrath and loathing of the tyrant.” So, what is meant is not to prevent a
person from saying what he did not do, but rather to encourage him to do what he says...
Action is worship and speech is worship, so if he abandons both of them together, he has
committed two sins and is deprived of “influence” in two ways, and whoever abandons one of
them has committed one sin and is deprived of “influence” in two ways. One.
