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.

'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

Advice

I advise you to relate to the rich with dignity and to the poor with humility. You must pratice humility and sincerity, which means constant comtemplation of the Creator.

Do not distrust Allah (Exalted is He) in worldly matters, but humbly submit to Him on all occasions.

Do not violate your brother's right on strength of the friendship that exists between you. In the company of spiritual pious people you should behave with modesty, good manners and genoristy. Mortify yourself, so that you may come to life, The people nearest to Allah (Exalted is He) are those with the best inner moral character.

The best of the deeds is keeping one's innermost being from any inclination toward that which is apart from Allah (Exalted is He). You must be truthful and patient.

Aggressiveness toward somebody beneath you is weakness, toward someone above you is arrogant pride, and toward someone like yourself is bad manners.

Spiritual poverty and tasawwuf are serious business, so do not mix them with anything frivolous (immature). May Allah help us, and you and all the muslims to achieve success. Ameen.

It is your duty to remember Allah (Exalted is He) in every circumstance, because this brings all that is good together. You must cling to the lifeline of Allah, because it wards off harm and injuiry, You must be prepared to meet the events decreed by destiny, because they are bound to happen.

Know that you will be held responsible for how you behave in action and at rest, so attend to what is most appropriate at the moment, and beware of redundant physical activities.

It is your duty to obey Allah and His Messenger and those who continue his work. Give them their due, and do not importune them for what is due from them. Offer prayers of supplication on every occasion.

It is your duty to think well of muslims and to relate to them with good intentions. Work hard to secure their general welfare.

Do not end your day with bad feeling, rancor or hatred for anyone still in your heart. Pray for those who have wronged you, and fear Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He). You must eat only lawful food, and ask people versed in knowledge of Allah about things you do not know.

Allah is the only guide to success, the only helper, for there is no might and no strength expect with Allah, the High, the Great.
