The Golden Chain

Our Conscience is from the Heavens

Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani ar-Rabbani (may God sanctify his innermost being), the fortieth Shaykh in the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, said the following:-

“We must choose our Lord’s pleasure.

If we listen to our conscience, we know goodness from badness. Halal from Haram. Our conscience is from the Heavens; it is always right. There is no such thing as a sick conscience, but sometimes we put such a heavy load on it that we unable to hear its cry.

Therefore, we must make an intention to always listen to our conscience. If we do this, Allah will give our conscience more power. Our conscience gives us good signs – don’t try to fight against it.”
