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.

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

Sadness

 The word (الحزن) "sadness" does not appear in the Qur'aan except in the form of forbidding it


(ولا تهنو ولاتحزنوا)


or in the form of negating it


(فلاخوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون).


And the reason for this is because there is no benefit for having sadness in the heart. The most beloved thing to Shaitan is to make the believing slave sad by taking him off track.


The Prophet (ﷺ) sought refuge in Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) from sadness


(اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن)


Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said: "*Sadness weakens the heart and diminishes determination and wanting to go forward. And there is nothing more beloved to the Shaitan than the sadness of a believer*."


For this reason, *be happy, optimistic and think good about Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى). Have trust in what Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) is able to do and depend on Him. You will find happiness and pleasure in all situations*.


Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said: "*Don’t ruin your happiness with worry, and don’t ruin your mind with pessimism. Don’t ruin your success with deception and don’t ruin the optimism of others by destroying it. Don’t ruin your day by looking back at yesterday*.


If you think about your situation, you will find that Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) has given you things without asking, so have trust in Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) that He doesn’t prevent anything you want except there is goodness for you.


You could be sleeping and the doors of the heavens are being opened with dua’as being made on your behalf, SubhanAllaah: perhaps from someone poor whom you helped, or someone sad whom you brought joy, or someone passing by and you smiled at him, or someone in distress and you removed it.. so don’t ever underestimate any good deeds."


One of the righteous predecessors said:


"*I make dua’a to Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) for something I want, and if He gives it to me then I’m happy once and if He doesn’t give it to me then I’m happy ten times because the first was my choice and the second was Allaah’s choice*."


As Sa’ady (رحمه الله) on him said: "*Life is short so don’t shorten it with worries, grief, and sadness*."


So be the owner of a heart that breathes happiness and satisfaction.


May Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) make your times happy and may Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) forgive us all. آمِيْن ثُمَّ آمِيْن.

Umar Bin Abdul-Aziz

 A beautiful story from the time of Umar Bin Abdul-Aziz, known as the 5th rightly guided caliph.

Abdul-Aziz once received a visitor who traveled far to see him. While they talked about the state of Muslims, the caliph kept a lamp lit. But when they began talking about personal and family issues, Abdul-Aziz dimmed the lamp and continued talking in the dark. His visitor was pretty taken aback and asked why he did this. The caliph responded that he bought the lamp using the Treasury of the Muslims, so he would only use it when working on issues related to the community, not personal issues. As Mohammed Faris says in his book The Productive Muslim, “This is not a unique story of one man; an entire civilization was built on such honorable Islamic values. This God consciousness can never be achieved by longer legal contracts or fines but it comes from within.” These are the standards we need to be aiming for in both our personal lives and at work. That’s how we infuse our work with a deep sense of spirituality and barakah or blessings, the fruits of which are felt for many years to come.

Peace in your hearts.


When he arrived, unfortunately, she was no longer with us.

During the funeral, my father did not speak; his gaze was lost. He hardly cried.

That night, his children joined him. In an atmosphere of pain and nostalgia, we remembered beautiful anecdotes and he asked my brother, a theologian, to tell him where Mom would be at that moment. My brother began to talk about life after death, and guesses as to how and where she would be.

My father listened carefully. Suddenly he asked us to take him to the cemetery.

Dad!" we replied, "it's 11 at night, we can't go to the cemetery right now!"

He raised his voice, and with a glazed look he said:

"Don't argue with me, please don't argue with the man who just lost his wife of 55 years."

There was a moment of respectful silence, we didn't argue anymore. We went to the cemetery, we asked the night watchman for permission. With a flashlight, we reached the tomb. My father caressed her, prayed, and told his children, who watched the scene moved:

"It was 55 years... you know? No one can talk about true love if they have no idea what it's like to share life with a woman."

He paused and wiped his face. "She and I, we were together in that crisis. I changed jobs ..." he continued. "We packed up when we sold the house and moved out of town. We shared the joy of seeing our children finish their careers, we mourned the departure of loved ones side by side, we prayed together in the waiting room of some hospitals, we support each other in pain, we hug each Christmas, and we forgive our mistakes...

Children, now it's gone, and I'm happy, do you know why?

Because she left before me. She didn't have to go through the agony and pain of burying me, of being left alone after my departure. I will be the one to go through that, and I thank God. I love her so much that I wouldn't have liked her to suffer..."



When my father finished speaking, my brothers and I had tears streaming down our faces. We hugged him, and he comforted us, "It's okay, we can go home, it's been a good day."

That night I understood what true love is; It is far from romanticism, it does not have much to do with eroticism, or with sex, rather it is linked to work, to complement, to care and, above all, to the true love that two really committed people profess ".

Peace in your hearts.

Love and Light.

Connection with a soul

 💯 


It really makes me think about the world we live in today. It's like despite how connected we are globally and how much we interact with each other, there's this growing sense that we're losing something essential - genuine empathy, compassion, and just being considerate of others.


In our fast-paced society, where technology is advancing rapidly, materialism is on the rise, and individualism is celebrated, it's easy for the core of humanity to get overshadowed. 


I mean, qualities like kindness, understanding, and that sense of being connected as a community sometimes seem to be taking a back seat.


You can see this playing out in everyday scenarios, like people burying themselves in their gadgets instead of having meaningful face-to-face conversations. Or when self-interest comes before the well-being of everyone. 


This quote really raises some valid concerns about whether we're letting go of the values that used to bind us together and whether we're still willing to lend a helping hand to those who need it.



Living in this age of constant information, fleeting

interactions, and differing opinions, it just hits home how vital it is to hold onto those fundamental human aspects. 


We need to remind ourselves to reflect on how we're acting, to embrace empathy, and to actively make a positive impact in a world where human

connection is just as important as our technological progress.

Sending Salaam to the Best of Creation SAWW

 Sayyidunā Badr al-Dīn al-Ḥasanī once asked his students, "When you send Salām upon the Prophet ‎ﷺ, do you hear a reply?"


After hearing their response in the negative, the noble Shaykh remarked remorsefully, "There are people who, if Rasūlullāh ‎ﷺ were to be absent from them, they would d*e."


Imām Badr al-Dīn al-Ḥasanī was a distinguished scholar and a devoted friend of Allāh. He embodied both the outer and inner sciences and was an exemplary figure of Ahlus Sunnah.


If this is the hearing power and status given to some people of this Ummah, can you even imagine the rank of the most Beloved of Allāh ‎ﷺ?

Sufi (Aliya Allah or friends of Allah)

 ‪The (Christian) missionaries used to say:‬


‪‬ "Whenever we would go to places far away from civilization in Africa or the farthest reaches of Asia, we would see the Ṣūfī has beaten us there and is victorious against us."


𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: Tarbiyyah al-Awlād, 2/855‬.



Today, “Ṣūfīs” have become a target, branded as innovators, even though it is an undeniable fact that the majority of Muslims today proudly identify themselves as such because their ancestors embraced Islām through the Da'wah and teachings of the Ṣūfiyyah.
