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

So I will restain myself

By Your Mercy

And Your Compassion

Will i get support to do so

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".
