Image
In the Name of Allah Most Merciful Most Beneficent From Imam Ghazzali (R.A)'s Ihya Uloomiddin: Some Learned Men Said: "Some Secrets of the Unseen World are disclosed to men who can remain without food for consecutive 40 days. One of these sages , while passing by a Christian Monk, invited him to accept Islam and to give up self-conceit. There were much arguments between them over these matter. The Monk said to him at last: Jesus Christ fasted forty consecutive days. This is a Miracle indeed. Had he not been a Prophet, he could not have done so.  The sage said to him: If I can fast for consecutive fifty days, will you accept Islam?. The Monk said: I shall accept Islam in that case. Thereafter, the sage fasted for consecutive fifty days at a stretch. The sage said: I can fast ten days more. He then continued his fast for ten days more. The Christian Monk was astonished at this and said: "I did not think that any men can surpass Jesus Christ in this Matter. Then he accept Is...

Shaykh Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi and Christians

Image
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent Hazret Shaykh Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (may Allah be well pleased with him) is one of the Grand Masters of Tasawwuf (Sufism/Islamic Spirituality).  His works like "Al Futuhat Al Makkiyya and Fusus Al Hikam" are renowned masterpiece in the knowledge of Sufism. Hazret Shaykh Ibn Arabi is known as "Shaykh Al Akbar" which means the greatest Shaykh (Spiritual knower of Allah the Mighty and Sublime).  The teachings of Hazret Ibn Arabi (Radiyallahu Anhu) illuminate the hearts of the seekers and disciples in the gnosis of God , and explores the hidden knowledge of Tawhid (Islamic monotheism) and Spirituality of Islam. Sufis are the heirs of the Prophets, they inherit the Prophetic mantle adorned with Light (Noor) ,Spirit (Rooh) and Word (Kalimatu-Allah) of the Most High. They are not the payroll Imams and Shaykhs. They are those whom the Quran described as "Ulil ilm (Quran 3:18,people of knowledge), Ulil amri (peop...

Social Distancing Congregations: Muslims adopt a non-Islamic rule into Muslim prayers!

Image
  Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Allahumma swalli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ala aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa sallim It shocked me to see that, those different Muslim sects and groups who can't agree with each other on Ramadan or Eid Moon sight and other Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) issues in prayers , they unanimously agreed on implementing social distancing rules into Salat (ritual prayers) in the Masjid (Mosques) East to West, North to South, every Masjid is embracing the new Fiqh principles from unbelievers, 2 meter exactly , it's never 1.5 meter or 3 meter , 2 meter is unanimously agreed upon , Muttafaqun alaihi, both Sunni and Salafi agreed, both Sunni and Shia agreed . Everyone is united upon 2 Meter social distancing Salat. But none of them cannot agree upon what Allah and Messenger (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him)  teachings us and commanding us to do as the Ummah (Nation of Believers)! Allah Almighty is commanding in the Quran, to hold fast to the rope of Allah...

Love is my Religion

Image
  LOVE IN THE AUTHENTIC ISLAM (SUFI WAY): بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Those who say: "I love only Allah" has deviated from the Islam of Allah (inna dina Inda Allahil Islam, Quran 3:19) Quran 3:19   Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account.  قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّـهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٣١﴾ Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (31) Only by following the final Prophet (Nabi Muhammad alaihiswalathu wa salam) one can have his religion (Submission to Allah) be accepted by Alm...

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِي مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّـهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ ۚ وَكُنتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَّا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنتَ أَنتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَأَنتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ﴿١١٧﴾ I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observe r over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. (Quran 5:117) Every Book, every Prophet , every Holy Person is coming to teach to worship the LORD of Truth. كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ ﴿٢٦﴾ وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ ﴿٢٧﴾ Quran 55: Everyone upon the earth will perish, (26) And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor. (27) Everyone will depart one Day, except Allah Al Wahidul Qahhar!. So live according to this knowledge, work according to this knowledge, , sa...

It is they who taught and continued the tradition of Zikr circles from generations to generations. One of the signs of the correct creed of Islam can be understood by this act of w...
