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)

(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

Sultan Abdul Hamid
Sultan Abdul Hamid was a man of Tasawwuf. He was a disciple of the Shadhili Tariqa and a student of the Libyan Shaykh - Muhammad Zafir al-Madani (Rahima'ullah). The Sultan would attend his lessons in disguise to gain guidance before he was granted leadership. He would be seen participating in public gatherings of zikr on Thursday nights in Istanbul.
Sultan Abdul Hamid's wife said that he would never miss praying Salah on time. He would always read Dala'il al-Khayrat daily and recite salawat using a tasbih. In times of hardship and happiness, he would read Sahih al-Bukhari - and he had copies printed and distributed across the Muslim world. When disease spread in the lands of Islam, he asked the shuyukh to make khatms of Quran, Sahih al-Bukhari, Dala'il al-Khayrat and ask Allāh for cure. The protection of the Islamic caliphate was based upon Qur'an, Sunnah and the blessings of salawat upon the Rasūl ﷺ. This is the only way that our homes, communities, and our lands will be rectified and given victory once again.
