“The ‘suhbat’ or company of the Auliya Allah is such that even if they remain silent in their Majaalis, those who are present and who had come with sincerity, will leave with nur in their hearts”(Shaykh Yunus Patel [R.A]
Paradise is surrounded by hardships just as a beautiful fragrant rose is surrounded by thorns.Keep going, the end is fragrant and beautiful....(Mufti Faraz Adam al-Mahmudi)
"We pray to Allah when in distress, but we forget Him when our distress is lifted.
How can we hope that our prayer will be answered, when we have blocked its paths with sins?”
( Imaam Ibn Rajab -
Jaami’ al ‘Uloom wal Hikam}
If you find yourselves rushing to finish your prayer, then remember that everything that you're rushing to get to and every matter that you fear missing out on is within the hands of the One whom you're rushing to leave!
وجُعِلَتْ قُرَّةُ عَيني في الصَّلاةِ
".. and the happiness of my life has been placed in prayer"
(Prophet Mohammad PBUH)
A person can outwardly appear to be religious – have the long beard, wear the thawbs etc, follow a spiritual path or tradition, talk the talk, but the acid test of his or her spiritual or adabic fitness is the way he/she deals with others. If you exhibit bad manners in your speech and behavior within a challenging environment you have failed your spiritual and adabic path on a massive scale. I have seen it too many times. Even ‘scholars’ are not immune from it. That is why the best approach is not to claim something on this level. Keep your spiritual journey private. Unfortunately, we have too many celebratory spiritual seekers.
Allah protect us and conceal our shortcomings.
Never confuse the Khawarij (rebels) for true Muslims.
They are people who pray, fast and read Quran but in fact exit Islam due to their extremism and violence. They will kill innocent people under the banner of Islam, yet they are the furthest of people from Islam.
The Prophet called them the Dogs of Fire and said they are the worst of creation.
The river didn't drown Mūsā (عليه السلام), the infant, when he was at the peak of his weakness,
whereas it drowned the arrogant king, Firawn, when he was at the peak of his power.
So whoever is with Allāh, his weakness will never impair him,
and whoever is not with Allāh, his strength will never benefit him.
"The further society drifts from Islam,
the stranger will the truth sound. In fact, in the near future, speaking about true Islam will sound like a concocted fairytale."
