Peace and Blessing be upon our beloved Ahmad [s] and his family

Maher zain - The Chosen One

Let's all salawat upon our beloved prophet [s] and his family at least 100 times per day,the person who's love upon us is more than our mother.For every salawat we make upon to our beloved,Allah will increase His compassion on us and forgive our sins and Allah will give salawat/rahamah upon us 10 times more.

And salawat help us to purify our hearts from any evil intentions and sickness.It will give us more rizq in here and hereafter.inshaAllah.For salawat is syifa'ul qulub, cure for the heart.It will increase our iman and Allah will only accept our prayers with the beginning of basmaLlah and salawat.

And RasuluLlah [s] stated that if a person salawat upon him 100 times a day,Allah will give him 100 hajat,70 in the akhirah ,after life and 30 in this world.

And if we salawat upon him [s] 1000 times a day,the person will not die until he/she receive(news) the glad tidings of jannah,paradise.

And the person who is closest to the prophet [s] in yaumul qiyamah,the day of resurrection is the person who salawat upon him alot.

If a person salawat upon him 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the evening that person will receive his shafa'ah in yaumul qiyamah.

Or you can also read Qasidahs like,Burdah,Diba'ee etc.

Some people might says it bid'ah since we're raising (tinggi-tinggikan)the prophet [s] just like the christian who raising(tinggi-tinggikan?) Isa [as].But how can we not raise our beloved Mustafa [s] to the highest level? He is the greatest person in history,without him,nothing will be created.And we raise him [s] as the greatest abduLlah,servant of Allah,not like christian,who raised Isa [as] until he became like a God,and that is wrong.And how can it be bid'ah when even the prophet [s] like people making qasidah and praising him.In qasidah burdah,there's one part where it says 'wa innahu khairu khalqiLlahi kullihimi-and he [s] is the greatest creation of Allah among the entire creation' Bala!.And that sentence was actually cam from prophet [s] himself when Imam Busairi meet him in his dream,and he was stuck with one sentence where prophet [s] helped him out on that sentence.The story is quite long but you can research on it.And how can you be sane when you are in love with a person? You'd definitely be insane when you're in love! For sure.

Lastly,let's salawat upon him [s].

Allahumma solli wa sallim wa barik alaihi wa ala alihi wa sohbihi wa sallim

until now,help us out if there is any mistakes and if you know anything more,then do share it with us.BarakaLlah fiik.And i really hope that you guys fasted during yaumul Ashura and before it.

Seeking for Allah's protection

A girl went to her friends house and
she ended up staying longer than
planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't
afraid because it was a small COMMUNITY and she lived only a few blocks away.


As she walked along under the bike trail Amina asked ALLAH to keep her safe from harm and danger.

When she reached the alley, which was a short
cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.

She became uneasy and began to recite a dua, asking
for ALLAH'S protection..

Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness
and security wrapped round her, she felt as
though someone was walking with her.

When she reached the end of the alley, she
walked right past the man and arrived home
safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper
that a young girl had been attacked in the same
alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.

Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the
fact that it could have been her, she began to
weep.

Thanking ALLAH for her safety and to help
this young woman, she decided to go to the
police station.

She felt she could recognize the man, so she
told them her story.

The police asked her if she would be willing to
look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.

She agreed and immediately pointed out the
man she had seen in the alley the night before.

When the man was told he had been identified,
he immediately broke down and confessed.

The officer thanked AMINA for her bravery and
asked if there was anything they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man one
question. Amina was curious as to why he had not
attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, 'Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her.'

Amazingly, whether you believe or not,
you're not alone.

ALLAH......

PS: ALLAH is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what

'If you deny me in front of your friends, I shall deny you on the day of Judgement

I'm asking you to protect her O Lord

Praise be to You alone

And if there's any other praying sincerely towards You for us

With a pure heart please accept our prayers and may my life be sacrifice for her

And may Divine Peace and Blessings be upon our beloved Mustafa

Patterns of Hijab on the syrian street

THE STORY OF A WOMAN. CRYING BEFORE ALLAH (SWT) OVER THE LOSS OF HER CHILDREN

A certain woman used to give birth to children but none of these children remained alive.All of them after six months became sick and died. In this manner twenty of her childrendied and went to the graveyard."Twenty children, one after the other, went that wayAnd this caused great sorrow to rise up in her".During the later part of the night, she rose up from her bed and fell down in prostrationbefore her Lord, crying bitterly in sorrow as she poured out her heart in supplication.Thereafter, she went to sleep, she saw in a dream, herself wandering around inparadise. She also saw a most beautiful mansion on which her name was written.From the beauty of the gardens of paradise and its splendour, she becamebesides herself with pleasure.The angels told her:"O Woman, generally these bounties from Allah (SWT) are acquired through theperformance of prayers and strenuous spiritual strivings. But because you wereinactive in that respect and thus unable to reach that position, Allah sent thosedifficulties to you in the world, during which you were patient. In return forthat patience, He grants you this paradise and this mansion".Then she saw her children there in paradise. She said: "0 Allah! these children ofmine were concealed from my sight, but they were never hidden from You. Herethey are all present. .0 Allah, if for a thousand years you keep me as I am today,I have no regret. Even if, You should shed my blood, I will be satisfied.For these favours are much more than my patience".

Muslimah

Assalamu 'alaikum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuH

I've heard many kafiruns says that Islam treats women like slaves and that they abuse them with an addition that the woman in Islam have no rights.Also they said that the muslims forced the muslimahs to veil themselves by wearing the hijab etc.
Since they are not muslims,it's quite understandable that they might not understand anything of Islamic teachings and the rights of a muslimahs and all,but it's still wrong for them to make fitnah on Islam like that.Firstly,Islam does not treats women like a slave but furthermore Islam honor them more than man.Secondly,the women that has been abuse in Islam are not the teachings of Islam but in contrary it's their husband,father etc egos that they've been treated that way,plus Islam orders the muslims to treat their wife gently and nice.
As a muslim we all know it,plus i would not care much if the kafiruns said that we forced the women to wear a hijab,but it hurts me more to hear that the muslimah complained to people that we forced them to wear it and some might say that they are ashamed to wear it.

Yes,Maybe their Father or Husband might forced them to wear a hijab,but firstly their reasons are:
1)It is an honor for them(the women) in the Divine presence
2)It is an order from Allah
3)for every women in islam who is dragged in to Jahannam,Hell,they will dragged another 4 muslim brothers;
i)Their Husband
ii)Their Father
iii)Their Son
iv)Their Siblings Brother

And the person that is the most easiest to get to Allah is a women,Allah honors them more than man.It's easier for them to be a true servant of Allah and to become waliyah,which is not important,but it's a greatest honor for them and for us all when Allah says "you're a true slave of mine" only by hearing those words from our God Almighty is already enough and a great pleasure for us.
The reason why people heard so much story about a wali and less about waliyah it might be because men are idiots,when they get their mind on something,they'll try what ever it takes to have it while women are easily attach to something,like for example if they've found a woman of their dreams,they'll do crazy and idiotic stuff and chase her around until she finally love him back or maybe let her go if she finds someone else.Usually in the old times,it's the boys that are chasing the girls,but now,in the end of times you can also see the girls that are chasing the boys.As for the women,they have 9 nafs,which if they can control them all,it'll be easy for them to get closer to Allah,that's their weapon.
If they can control all of their emotions,egos,nafs it's a great honor for them.
In average between man and a woman,obviously man has a greater ego.And between their lustful desires,obviously man has a greater lustful desires than the woman,the greatest part is that between both parties,women are more emotional than man,that is their way to get closer to Allah.They are sensitive,while man are not that sensitive,and they are usually more humble than the man,plus they are more caring.But,the jealousy between the both parties,usually it's the woman who gets jealous easily and get hurt easily.The only way that brings woman slower or harder to Allah is that they are easy to get jealous,hurt,complained,lots of talking/gossips.
That's what i've been teach anyway,sorry if i am wrong,please do forgive me.
One of our teachers once said "Every time you talk on unbeneficial stuff,you're closing your inner heart towards Allah" ",or so she said.
Above it all, woman has a lot of advantages to get closer to Him,Exalted is He.
If i could envy,i would have envy the muslimah for God has created or put in their souls in a women body.AlhamduliLlah,we are not.

Lastly,you might have notice that i've been saying alot about the hijabs in this post or maybe another post.
For some of you it might be just a scarf veiling the head,but in reality it's more than that.
Since we're living in singaporean,AlhamduliLlah,people here accepted the religion of Islam,so it's easier for our sisters in Islam to veil themselves without feeling awkward(or maybe they have?) or anything like that.But what if we're living in a country like america? Which not all of them accepted it but they might have also critic so it might discourage our sisters over there.
But to all sisters who are reading,i hope that you would wear your hijab not to care what others think or for fashion or being force and feel awkward when wearing it.
It's simple but a great honor and value towards Allah when you're wearing it,especially when you're wearing it out of love for the Divine.
And the reason i've been bolding this topic it's because of our beloved prophet Mustafa [s] has come for the last ummah,

The Apostle of Allah [s] once said:"I have not yet seen two groups of Jahannamis,(because they have not emerged thus far).One group is of those men who will have lashes size of the tails of oxen,in their hands,with which they will lash the faces of others.The other group is of those women who will wear clothes,yet they will be naked.They will attempt to attract people towards themselves and they will incline towards people(men).Their heads will appear to be like a dromedary(camel).Such women will never be able to enter Jannat,nay,they will not even smell the fragrance of Jannat,although the fragrance of Jannat will spread far"

Note:
i)These days,scantily clad women or women who wear fine(see through) clothing are those who have put on clothes,yet they are naked.Women dressed in tight,figure hugging clothing also fall in this category.

ii)Women who wear high buns on the head are those whose heads appear to be like the hump of a camel.

This information and explanation i got it from the book title "SIGNS OF QIYAMAH" and the author or explanation from Mohammed Ali Ibn Zubair Ali.

And now,you can see many muslimah wearing tight T-shirt and jeans until you some times can see the shape of their body.(God knows best what their niat are,so we would not judge them)
I hope the sisters or brothers can take this seriously and could help by just spreading this message.
As the Prophet [s] once said to spread his [s] words,even if is just one word,or so he [s] said.

until now,
we hope that we don't waste your time or anything like that, and please forgive me for any mistakes that i have made in this post and please do inform us if there is.

wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuHu.

waLlahu A'lam

Why do women Cry

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman,"she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him andsaid, "And you never will." Later the little boy asked his father, "Whydoes mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," wasall his dad could say. The little boy grew up and became a man, stillwondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got onthe phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said: "When Imade the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough tocarry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gaveher an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that manytimes comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her tokeep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family throughsickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity tolove her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child hashurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through hisfaults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave herwisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimestests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. Andfinally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to usewhenever it is needed." "You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a womanis not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the wayshe combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, becausethat is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

DHUL HIJJA: A SACRED MONTH

Imam Ghazali said in Ihya' `Ulum al-Din: "Fasting is definitely desirable in certain meritorious days, some of them being found in every year, others in every month, and others in every week. Those that are found in every year after the days of Ramadan are:

the Day of `Arafa [= 9th of Dhul Hijja]
the Day of `Ashura' [= 10th of Muharram]
the first Ten Days of Dhu al-Hijja
the first ten days of Muharram
And all the sacred months are preferred for fasting... and they are:

Dhu al-Qi`da, Dhu al-Hijja, Muharram, and Rajab."

FIRST TEN DAYS AND NIGHTS OF DHUL HIJJA
`Abd Allah ibn Mas`ud said: The Prophet said: "There are no days in the year in which deeds are more meritorious than in the Ten

Days [i.e. the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijja]." Someone asked: "Not even Jihad in the path of Allah?" He replied: "Not even Jihad in the path of Allah." Haythami said: "Tabarani narrated it in al-Mu`jam al-kabir and the narrators in its chain of transmission are all those of sound (sahih) narrations.

The nights are included in the mention of the days. Allah swore an oath by them when He said: "By the Dawn! By Ten Nights!" (89:1-2) and the authors of Tafsir al-Jalalayn said: "They are the first ten nights of Dhul Hijja."

NAQSHBANDI ADAB OF HAJJ

`EID AL-ADHA (FEAST OF SACRIFICE)
The `Eid prayer is a Sunna mu'akkada or confirmed Sunna and is recommended to be prayed in congregation. It is wajib (obligatory) in the Hanafi madhhab and therefore required of every person who is required to perform Jum`a, i.e. healthy male residents of the region in which it is performed.

It is a Sunna mu'akkada and, in the Hanafi madhhab, a wajib, for every adult Muslim man and woman to sacrifice at least one shat -- a sheep or a goat -- for `Eid al-Adha. This may be done any time after the prayer on the first day of `Eid until sunset on the last of the two days following the first day. One may have someone else perform the sacrifice on his behalf, whether in his presence or in absentia.

It is recommended not to eat anything on the day of `Eid al-Adha until one perform the Prayer.

It is recommended to perform ghusl (major ablution) before the prayer, any time after Fajr even if one does not attend the prayer.

It is recommended for men to dress their best and wear perfume. It is Sunna to come to the mosque early and on foot, and to return home by a different route. It is preferable for a `Eid Congregation to pray outdoors.

Abdullah Ibn 'Umar radiyallahu anhu related that Rasoolullah sallalahu alayhi wasallam said, "No days are as weighty with Allah and so liked by Him for good deeds than the first ten days of Zul Hijjah. So on these days increasingly read Subhãnallah, Lã ilãha illallãh, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar." (Musnad Ahmad)

Abu Hurayrah radiyallahu anhu related that Rasoolullah sallalahu alayhi wasallam said, "On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the (first) ten days of Zul Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the worship of each of these nights is equal to the worship of Laylatul Qadr." (Tirmizi, Ibn Mãjah)

salam wr wb alaikum,

at this month is where korban or basically sacrificial of the sheeps will be taken place and you all have already know the story behind it,between nabi Ibrahim [as] and nabi Ismail [as].

also,our teacher remind us to korban or sacrifice everyhting we had only for the sake of our beloved mustafa[saw] and Allah,and he encourages us try not to commit any sins(purposely) on that first 10days of this month and to fasts during this 9 days of Dhul Hijjah ,if not tried fasting 8th and 9th of Dhul Hijjah since there's alot of barakah in it,if not,at the very least on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah .

until now,

DON'T FOLLOW SUFI PATH

Sufism is a search for one's self. It is a search for who you really are and how you fit into the universe, the oneness of Allah.You must be prepared to confront the worst within yourself in order to bring your transformation about.You must let go of your ego.You must control your emotions.You must learn to treat others equally regardless of race, religion, etc. because we are all equal.If you want to follow Sufism you must be prepared to be humble. How can one be humble when they wear their accomplishments like a garment cloaking themselves in their pride? Can you become humble?If not, then don't bother to try and follow Sufism.You must put yourself through the fire as steel is forged in fire to make it strong.Can you stand the flames of searching for your worst qualities and making them known not only to yourself but others who would come before you? Can you dare yourself to be so honest as to identify all you bad qualities and do something about them?Do you have the capacity to lower yourself and be among the people rather than think yourself superior?Regardless of the position you hold in this life?Can you stop preaching what should be done, but rather practice no matter how difficult it is to do at all costs?Can you? Can you? Can you????Do you truly have a burning love for Allah SWT or is it just words?Are you taking your spiritual journey for granted? Are you truly seeking to get the best out of this transformation for your deen?If not, then Don't follow Sufism, if you can do all these and more then you MUST learn about Sufism and what it means.Do not delay....begin your journey before it is too late.Be truthful with your inner heart, because every lie is there and will lead to a cascade of events which will create a snowball affect leading the lies to overtake your good deeds.....So, if you are ready for the journey within to discover who you really are then follow Sufism.Now that I have your attention - this has been written to make a reader look harder at what is being written rather than passing it by. Thank you for your time, and please do not take offense at the style used to point these things out.

Does God Exist?

That's what Most people in the world are asking ..
For us muslims,most of us are already born in a religious-family..
so we were thought to believe in God which is Allah(swt) and his messengers(be upon them peace) and other parts that is related to the religion.
But what if you're not born in an Islamic-family?
what if you're born in a Christian-family instead?
will you still believe that the one and only God is Allah(swt) instead of Jesus Christ?
Or what if you're not born in any religious-family?
will you still believe that God exist? and he is the one and only Allah(swt)?

are you forced to believe in Allah(swt) because of your parents? or do you just blindly believe in Him and blindly follow His orders(eg.praying,zakat,hajj.. etc) and His prophet(saw)?or you really do believe in Him because you know He exist?

here are some of the basically mind-set of an atheist:

p/s:the starting and the ending of the video has some sensual picture of a cartoon in it.
so sorry about it,but the content of the videos are interesting.






- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Even some of our muslim brothers and sisters now-a-days only said that they believe in Allah but yet they don't even follow His orders ,that's one thing ..but the worse part is that they even disobeyed and totally forgot about him eg.not praying,zinah etc. ..
Maybe it's not their fault,since all humans are created weak in the first place.
But at least we should try ah and remember Him in everything we do and slowly try to follow His orders if we really believe in Him.inshaAllah.

On the authority of Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:
Truly of those devoted to Me the one I most favour is a believer who is of meagre means and much given to prayer, who has been particular in the worship of his Lord and has obeyed Him inwardly (1), who was obscure among people and not pointed out, and whose sustenance was just sufficient to provide for him yet he bore this patiently. Then the Prophet (pbuh) rapped his hand and said: Death will have come early to him, his mourners will have been few, his estate scant.
(1) i.e. he has not been ostentatious in his obedience.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ibn Majah). Its chain of authorities is sound.

And it is also stated that we're only faithful to Him when we remember him and we're unfaithful towards Him when we don't remember him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
salam,
Ok since we've promised our friend to post the video that he recommended in here,we'll now do it and continue on this post that has long abandoned.sorry friend if a little late. Actually we wanted to make a video reply,but i have no idea how to do it.so it's canceled(excuses..)




Buddha is peace,Jew is peace,Christian is peace and Islam is peace.
All religion is peace,they are craving for peace,they wish for peace because all of them believe in the existence of God since God Himself is Peace.
While the freethinkers or atheist don't believe in the existence of God or any other 'miracles' in this earth,they only believe in logic,they'll try to proof scientifically that God doesn't exist and that all of this existence is just a coincidence,Big Bang Theory etc. The word 'free-thinkers' which basically means that they are free to think of anything,their thinking can be widely spread or think about anything in this world,is it not?sorry if I'm wrong.But they are so obsessed about thinking outside,they are so blind that they can't even see the miracles of God outside since they are not actually thinking and they are even blinder that they can't even see the miracles or mystery of God within themselves.Are they not thinking what is the difference between the dead and alive?are they not thinking why the living is still breathing while the dead are not?are they not thinking that they are just like robots,except of metals,they have organs inside of them?Robots need electricity to go on 'living' while us humans need air,food and drink.But what really makes the living difference from the dead?
The living,they have soul,while the dead doesn't.No one can explain the mystery of the soul because it's God's secret.Not even the most intelligent scientist,The soul is already illogical,it's something beyond humans knowledge.Does the soul has a form? or how does it look like? are the soul in the hands? or maybe the lungs? or maybe the brain? Only God knows where. But some scholars says that it's within the heart while others says it might be everywhere or not exactly in the heart.God knows Best.
Calling themselves free thinkers,while they are not exactly thinking freely since they have already think in one mindset.
Our friends,if we think seriously about the existence of the world,the existence of God and we do not give favour to any of our thinking and we are fair with it all,Allah will definitely guide us.and all the doubts will be erased.
While religion is but a way to find God and be with Him.And Islam is the one only Truth while the other idols worshippers are not.

Shaykh Bawa Muhaiyadden (r) always reminded us to ask this question:
Who am I?Why am I here?Who is God?
which means that am I doing this thing for God?am I getting closer to Him?am I born to do this?
every time we do something,we need to ask ourselves.Slowly when we ask,we'll try to solve it,when we do,we are getting closer and closer to Him.

We will stop here for now,sorry if there's any mistakes,please do inform us.All good from God,while others are from us. It's are reminder for ourselves and to all of our beloved.
Until now,

wassalam 'alaikum wr wb.

Confession of God Slave: Mirror

By opening the door

I found a mirror

Veil by a scarf

Looking into the mirror

And suprised that i am not looking at myself

But actually You

I am You

And You are me

we are one

Yet we are different

I am not You

For You is He

You are not me

For You is He

A dot that i am seeing

Yet huge to the naked eyes

An infinite that i see

But just a dot in the heart

We are but a mirror of You

Knowing the reality of 'I'

I cease to exist

Slowly in depth of Your Love

Though I am blocking my own way

Towards the reality of the 'I'

Enduring the pain

By Your will I will

Patinece is the Key

And You are the Door

Beautiful Heart

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it.Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart. Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said,"Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges.In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.The people stared -- how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought? The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.""Yes," said the old man, "yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me.These are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out.He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit,But not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.They embraced and walked away side by side.........May Allah bless us to embrace our sisters and brothers with love, kind, care and compassion.

THE STORY ABOUT A CURE FOR SENSUAL LOVE

A certain devotee resided in the company of a saintly man for the sake of improvingand rectifying his spiritual life. He diligently applied himself to the Dhikr and deedswhich the Shaykh prescribed for him. However there was one maid servant of theShaykh who brought the food to them from the Shaykh's house.By continuously looking at her as she brought the food, his heart became filledwith love for her. Thus whenever she brought the food, he cast lustful glances ather, instead of looking at the food.The maid was also a devotee seeking for Allah (SWT). She soon realised thatthis man was casting lustful glances at her. Her enlightened heart perceived thelustful glances and thus she went to complain to the Shaykh: "Sire, a certainMureed of yours is involved with lustful love. What benefit will there be for himfrom your prescribed Zikr and spiritual exercises? You should first cure him of thisfigurative love."It is the practice of the saintly ones, as far as possible, that they do not exposeor humiliate their companions nor those connected with them, so that thesepeople do not loose heart through their disappointment. As the Sheikh isdevoted to Allah (SWT) , his sights are directed at Allah's grace and bounties:"When Allah's Mercy comes pouring forth,The fire worshipper of a hundred yearsCan become the pride of all Saints.Do not despise any disbeliever.Who knows when Allah's (SWT) Mercy may take him?It is possible that before death overtakes,The Non Belivers and the Mushrik can become Bayazid (one saintly one)This can happen within a blink of the eye. "Hence the Sheikh, in spite of knowing the secret, did not scoldthe Mureed and refrained from exposing him. However, within himselfhe was thinking of a way to cure him of this lustful love.It so happened that from Allah's side he was inspired with a plan and heacted upon it. He gave the maid servant some laxative which causedher acute diarrhoea. He also instructed her to let the faecesthat came out of her accumulate in one bucket.Due to the purgative she had taken, she defecated about twenty timesuntil she became very weak and thin. Her face became exceedingly pale andher eyes and cheeks turned hollow. Her face appeared frightful like one sufferingfrom cholera. She appeared very unattractive and all her beauty hadvanished. The Sheikh then told her: "Take his food to him today andthen quietly stand there."When the Mureed saw the maid, instead of looking at her, he now turnedhis eyes away and told her: "Put the food down". As he uttered thesewords the Sheikh entered in the room and said:"0 you fool, why is it that today you turn your eyes away from this girl?What is missing from her today that your love for her has vanished?"Then the Sheikh instructed the girl to bring the container in which all thefaces has been collected. When she placed it before him, the Shaykhsaid to the Mureed: "0 foolish one, apart from those faces,nothing else was extracted from this girl. From this it seems that in actualfact you were in love with these faeces and now that it has gone outof her body, your love is also gone".Lesson:-The Shaykh asked the Mureed: "Tell me, if you really loved this girl then how is it that this love has now turned to dislike and aversion? "Through this plan of the Shaykh, it soon dawned upon the Mureed that he had become involved withsensual love. The mureed became ashamed of it and in sorrow and lamentations, he repented to Allah. Throughthis repentance and sorrow he was eventually endowed with true Divine Love.Story from Mathnavi of Moulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

Freedom

Salam wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuHu alaikum.

Now a days you can find mostly everywhere people are raging and complaining to have freedom,when they receive it,they want more and more freedom.

"The more you asked for a freedom,the more you are asking to be killed",that's what my teacher advised me.

Shaykh Nazim [qs] once said,when a person is asking for a freedom,it's like he's standing in front of a lion cage and letting it out waiting to be killed.

Most muslims now a days are rebelling and asking for freedom,not for God sake,but just to satisfy their nafs,O what a fool.God created His Divine Law so that our nafs will be caged,it will be prison for our own good so that we wouldn't fall in the hand of the accursed devil.Last time i saw this muslim women in a video without an hijab,then the kafirs asked her why is she not following the islamic law as to wear a hijab,so she replied that if she were to wear a hijab,all people(kafirun) will repel from her and islam teaches us to unite with people not to make them futher from us and she also stated that it's not necessary to wear one and she don't think that people who says that it is obligatory to wear is correct,also she said that we need to follow the new era where not all people are wearing a hijab. Who is she to make up her own law?

O what a fool she is for making up her own law,there's a lot of dalil that it is an obligatory to wear a hijab.It is like she is saying that it is important for us to follow the worldly life and be like them.

But the Prophet [s] once stated in a hadith;

Al-Tirmidhi reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "He is not one of us who imitates people other than us. Do not imitate the Jews and Christians." According to another version: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them."

Now you can see more and more people following the trends or a culture of the westerners.

But another type of freedom if it's for God sake, like some countries which are control by the Kafirun whose ruler are not fair in his judgement and did not give the muslims their rights,then they can ask for freedom in a good and peaceful manner as islam teaches us to do so,so that they can follow the commandments of Allah at will.

Also asking for freedom from jahannam and other non-beneficial stuffs are necessary.

Anas Ibn Maalik (Radiallaho Anho) narratesthat he heard Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) saying, “"A person who, in all sincerity, is constant in his Salaah with Jamaah for forty days,without missing being presentwhen the person leading Salaah starts Salaahby saying Allah o Akbar receives two awards:one of freedom from Jahannamand the other of freedom from hypocrisy"

whereas freedom for the worldly lives are ought to leave it.Since you are actually letting your nafs taking control over your soul and heart,and slowly they will take control over it and the door to your heart will be shut close and would be hard to recieve any barakah or hidayah from Allah and when the Awliya is saying by 'you are killing yourself' is that you are not exist in the eyes of Allah [swt]

WaLlahu A'lam.God knows best.

until now,sorry for any mistakes please do inform us and let us know,we appreciate it.

wassalam wa rahmatuLlah wa barakatuHu alaikum.

THE STORY OF HAZRAT IZRAEEL (A.S.)

A simple man once came to Hazrat Sulayman (A.S.) His face was pale and he was quite struck by fearand anxiety. Hazrat Sulayman (A.S.) asked him: "Why are you so struck with fear?"He replied: "Hazrat Izraeel (A.S.) stared at me with very angryeyes. For this reason, I am quite worried and distressed".Then Hazrat Sulayman (A.S.) asked: "What do you want?" He replied: "Send mefrom here to India". Hazrat Sulayman (A.S.) commanded the wind to transport himto any place in India where he wanted to go.The following day Hazrat Sulayman (A.S.) met Hazrat Izraeel (A.S.) and at this meetingasked him: "Why did you stare at a certain Muslim in such a manner that he became verydistressed and worried? Was it your intention to take his soul away in a land where he has no heirs? "Hazrat Izraeel (A.S.) replied: "I stared at him in astonishment because I had received the command totake hold of his soul in India. Allah ordered me to take his soul this day in India.But when I saw him here I was astonished and confused.When through the order of Allah I reached India, I found him thereAnd there I took hold of his soul. O You listener, compare all the world's affairsin the light of this And open your eyes to witness it.Who are we fleeing from? From Allah? This is impossible.Against who are we rebelling? Against Allah? This is pure disaster, disaster, disaster."From this story we learn the lesson that at all times we should keep our affairs with AllahSWT clear and safe. We should try our utmost to fulfil our duties to Allah and the rights ofmankind, because we do not know when and where we shall have to say farewell to thelife of this world, and appear before Allah for the reckoning.It does not befit man to remain negligent in this world.He shall have to remember death at all times To every man who ever comes to this world.Destiny says: "I am following you, do remember".

Wake up for Fajr Solah

A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr Prayer at the masjid. He got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid. On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the masjid. On his way to the masjid, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid. On his way to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and the man replied I saw you fall twice on your way to the masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way.' The first man thanked him profusely and the two were on their way to the masjid. Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same. The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray. The man replied, 'I am Satan (devil/evil)'The man was shocked at this reply. Satan went on to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the masjid and it was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid. Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins of the people of your household .. I was AFRAID if i made you fall one more time, then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your village , so i made sure that you reached the masjid safely!'So do not let Satan benefit from his actions. Do not put off a good that you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.

Welcome to you O Month of Ramadan!

AlhamduliLlah,All Praises be to Allah.

As-Salamu 'alaikum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuH

we're sorry it might be late,but what the heck..HAPPY FASTING TO YOU ALL! :D

Finally,the month of ramadan has finally arrive and we are still alive to celebrate it.

Why the name 'Ramadan'?The Holy Prophet (divine peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Surely, the month of Ramadan has been named so because it scorches away the sins."

All praises be to You the Lord of universe!

How's your month of ramadan? i hope you guys are doing good with your ibadah.inshaAllah.

Most of the Devil has been tied up and now it's us one on one with our nafs.

InshaAllah we can win this struggle.Amiin.

Every ibadah that we do is mostly for us,except for fasting,it's for Allah.

as stated in hadith qudsi:

Allah said, "Every action of the son of Adam belongs to him except the fast. It is Mine, and I repay him for it. Fasting is a protection. When one of you has a day of fasting, he should then speak neither obscenely nor too loudly; and if someone seeks to curse him or fight with him, let him say, 'I am fasting.' By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell of the mouth of the one who fasts is more delectable to Allah than the scent of musk. The one who fasts has two joys in which to delight: when he breaks his fast, he rejoices; and when he meets his Lord, he rejoices in his fast."

Also,our teacher told us to call it "the month of ramadan" not just say it as "ramadan..ramadan..".Like,"how have you been doing during this month of ramadan?" not "how have you been doing during ramadan?" since it's important to say it with the month.

and there's three types of fasting:

1st type:They only abstain themselves from eating,drinking and sexual desires.

2nd type:Same as the one above except now they abstain their eyes,hands,legs and other part of the body from sinful act.

while the 3rd type:Like all of them above except now that they are keeping their hearts clean,as in every second thinking about Allah and praising Him.If they think about anything else,it's a sin for them.These are the types for Anbiya [as] and Awliya [qs].

But for us,inshaAllah at least we can try our best to be in the 2nd type.Amiin.

The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) has said: It (Ramadan) is the month, whose beginning is mercy, its middle, forgiveness and its end, emancipation from the fire (of hell).

So for the first 10 days let us try to selawat as many times as we can and berdhikir Yar-Rahman and Yar-Rahim for 100 times every time after we solat sunnah.

And Also The prophet [s] always du'a during this month : Allahumma-rhamna Ya Arhamar-Rahimiin.

And for the second 10 days try to istirghfar for 300 times a day.

And for the last 10 days,O what a blessed nights! Let's do more ibadah during all of this night since one of the night is the most greatest night of all! which is Laylatul-Qadar.Some says that the night falls on odd numbers,but who cares! Let's just celeberate!

Actually there's this du'a that our ustaz read it to us but some how i didn't noted it down.

But here's some sites that have a du'a that you can read:http://www.ezsoftech.com/ramadan/ramadan01-05.asp

also more infos:http://naqshbandi.org/adab/fasting/Ramadan.html

until now,May you guys enjoy your fasting!Also,forgive us if we've make any mistakes to any of you up to now.May Allah Bless you.

The 4 primary enemies

(The 4 primary enemies part 1)

Asmlkm wr wb.

BismiLlahir-Ramaanir-Rahiim.

Nafs(self desires),Dunyawiyyah(worldly desires),Shaitan(devil) and Ghurur(ego).

This 4 things if we follow them will make us further and further away from Allah.

Our nafs hates what our hearts and our souls loves and our hearts hates what our nafs loves.

Like if you were to qiyamu-layl (stand in the night) and solah tahajjud (pray tahajud) which we'll have to ruku' and sujud for along period of time,our body will feel tiresome and feel lazy to do it since it's following our nafs.Sometimes during qiyam at the time of sujud ,you can already see that some people are sleeping in that manner.Masha-Allah.(Maybe that person is tired because the night before he/she's working really hard).If our body could make sujud or ruku' or pray all night long,our hearts and souls are jumping with joy because they love it.But if we were to tell a lie,our hearts will beat faster.why?because they are scared,our souls and hearts are afraid because they know that Allah is watching them.They will beat in a tone of AstarghfiruLlah,AstarghfiruLlah,AstargfiruLlah..until we tell the truth or have forgotten about the lie that we made ,will then it finally calms.But our nafs!oh..they love to lie,they feel nothing when they lie.They will make up stories and sometimes says it's a white lie so it's better for that person not knowing it's the truth.

Eg.If a wife cook badly and her husbands taste it,when he was asked "how was it?" by his beloved wife,he can't lie to her how it taste! he needs to tell the truth!but people nowadays says it's a white lie to tell that "it taste good.." .Oh..what a liar! If he says it taste good firstly with the niah of lying and then maybe to make he's wife happy,that's already a sin.But at a certain point,he also couldn't hurt his wife feelings by saying "it taste bad!".So he should try and answer "Masha Allah!it taste great!" firstly not with the niah of lying,but as a du'a, who knows the second time he taste it,it might really be good? Then follow up to win his wife's heart.

Our beloved Prophet [s] never told a lie,not even this white lie or a sunnah lie.There's no such thing as that!people are just making that up to make their nafs and ghurur feel better!

A lie is a lie,but people are afraid to convince that they are lying so they are saying it's a sunnah lie.Why are people using a sunnah as an excuse?!I know that he [s] told us to never hurt any one's feelings but for certain he always reminded us to tell nothing but the truth.

If we follow our nafs,then it will follow the other three;the devil,worldly desires and our ego.

If we were to follow them until the end of our lives,they are bound to drag us to hell.

God(Most Merciful is He) says: "Have you seen the one who chooseth for his god his own lust?" (25:43)

and "He followed his own lust. Therefor his likeness is as the likeness of a dog; if thou attackest him he panteth with his tongue out, and if thou leavest him he panteth with his tongue out" (7:176)

and about the person who controlled the passion of his ego :

God (Most compassionate is He) says: "But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, Lo! The garden will be his home" (79:40-41).

Let's detach ourselves from these 4 primary enemies of ours.
Insha-Alalh next time we'll put in more details in this 4 'enemies' of ours.But let's do what our nafs wish not to do and do not do what our nafs wish to do.

Sorry for the mistakes that we have made,we apologise for it.And please inform us if there is.
May Allah forgive our sins and may He make us follow the path of truth,the people of truth and may He make our sha'ban and ramadan a beautiful one!amiin.

wassalam wr wb alaik.
