What caused Satan’s banishment from the Divine presence was not a lack of or deficiency in knowledge or deeds, but his insolence. This is why the most excellent virtue which destroys Satan is good manners.
MESSAGE OF DAY
10 February 2018
A person cannot be both pious and coarse, ill-natured and disobliging, for the essence and spirit of Islam is Divine unity and oneness with respect to belief, and good manners and compassion with respect to action.
9 February 2018
Good manners is like the fragrance of a rose that enlivens the spirit. This scent should pervade our spiritual being and be felt at every stage of our lives.
8 February 2018
Piousness, renunciation and righteousness is not abandoning the world, but, as in the case of Prophet Solomon, upon him be peace, it is refusing to allow love of the world to enter into one’s heart.
7 February 2018
Everything in this world is known through its opposite. As hate is the opposite of love, hating those things that are disliked by Allah is a requirement of loving Him.
27 December 2017
Allah is with us wheresoever we may be. He is closer to us than our jugular vein. The important thing is who we are with.
26 December 2017
Pride, arrogance, self-conceit and carnality are the cancers of the spiritual path. This is why Satan fell to ruin where he once held a high station.
25 December 2017
If we want to see our level on the spiritual path, we should look closely at our state and actions.
24 December 2017
As impossible it is for the sun not to provide heat, is it also impossible for noble spirits to be deprived of compassion.
23 December 2017
The believer must be a key to goodness and a deadlock to evil. For working to prevent falsehood is as much a requirement of belief as is working for the exaltation of truth and goodness.
22 December 2017
Detachment, in one’s heart, from those who do not merit the love of Allah is as much a precondition of sound belief as is loving Allah and those loved by Him.
21 December 2017
The entire capital of those who depart from this world, whether they depart as sultans or slaves, is whatever they send in advance from this world.
20 December 2017
Just as the virtue of the Prayer is its being performed at the earliest possible time, the virtue of spending in the way of Allah is in its being undertaken at the very first opportunity, without delay.
19 December 2017
Fellowship in Islam is like two hands that wash each other. The precondition of such fellowship is to be not a burden but a helper.
18 December 2017
Servitude to Allah is a must until the last breath. This is why an emigration from the heedlessness of ignorance to the character of Allah’s Messenger is necessary at every moment.
