Whosoever has Allah in his heart, His helper in both worlds is Allah, And whoever has other than Allah in his heart, His opponent in both worlds is Allah."
Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi (ra)

My Faiths Goal

May Allah Ta’ala grant us His Love and the Love of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) , such that it becomes easy to give up all sins and submit to His Obedience. May He protect us all from the mischief of nafs and Shaytaan. May He fill our hearts with Love, Adab, Akhlaq and Sabr for this beautiful Deen and inspire us in being a practical and good Muslims and be true role-models to our community.
"I want to die with my forehead on the ground,the sunnah in my heart,Allah on my mind, the Quran on my tongue & tears in my eyes."

Remember

Through the Zikr of Allah Ta’ala one may achieve recognition and Maarifat of Allah Ta’ala.
(Hadhrat Moulana Muhammad Zakariyyah rahmatullahi ‘alayh)


"if one lives for Allah alone love and peace would prevail in this world. When one is inspired by this,then whatever one does becomes devotion to Allah."
(Khwaja Nizamuddeen Auliya rahmatullahi ‘alayh)



'Allah will aid a servant of His so long as the servant aids his brother.'
- Sahih Muslim

Light of Dawn

I wake with the light of the dawn whispering with joy in my heart and with praise on my lips. In stillness and twilight i stand before you bowing, prostating i call Allahu (swt).
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn's golden hues. My ears hear the thunder as it gloriies you. The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name. My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise. My soul knew and loved you before i was born and without your mercy is lost and fortorn.
Wherever i may wonder down the pathways of life, my cry to you Allah (swt), is "guide me to ligfht" through all fear and helpness, to you do i turn for your breath of healing and peacedo i yearn. For all that i have , my Allah (swt) all that i am is from you, is for you and to you will return. Inshallah

Fiqh or Tassawuf

There once was a Sufi shaykh and a Faqih who argued which discipline is better Fiqh or Tassawuf. They argued and argued until the Sufi shaykh said to the Faqih "Come to my gathering tonight and you will see why Tassawuf is more beneficial."

Before the Faqih arrived the Sufi shaykh told all his students when the Faqih comes in not to reply to his salam. So the Faqih arrived at the gathering and said "As salamu 'alaikum" out loud, no one responded, again he said it and still no one replied. Getting visibly annoyed he shouted "As salamu 'alaikum!". When no reply came he reproached them all saying "What is wrong you all?! Why do you not reply to me?!"

The Sufi shaykh finally greeted the Faqih, apologised and asked him to sit down. He wanted to show him something. He said one of his students is coming to the gathering in a few minutes and when he comes no one should reply to his salams.

The student arrived and said his salams to which no one responded, he again gave his salams, still in a gentle tone but no one responded. He looked at everyone then said: "O brothers have I wronged you all in anyway, please tell me?"
