MESSAGE OF DAY

A person, whose situation and actions are contrary to what he says, is considered to be speechless even if he has a hundred tongues.

Servitude starts with contemplation; and contemplation is the key to faith.

As the body gets tired, similarly the soul gets tired. Hadrat ‘Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) has stated “Repose and rest your soul with wise words.”

Being able to speak appropriately is an art in itself, and everyone regardless of whether they realize it or not, speak according to his inner world and the values hidden in his soul.

Sufism is the spiritual side of the religion (harmony of the soul and the heart). It is to live the religion with excitement and to fill the heart with spirituality.

As much as our servitude and piety (taqwa) increases towards Allah Almighty, that’s how much it broadens our perception and increases the foresight (firasah).

“… For without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.” (Ar-Ra’d, 28)

We calabrate all of our brother’s ‘Aid and wis the spirit of Ramadan be with you always. Have a happy and blessed Ramadan.

The believers who experience hardships and tribulations, yet face them with patience will surely be rewarded by Allah the Almighty. Indeed with every hardship, there is ease.

Divine wisdom is accessible to the heart during the night. Those who desire to benefit from this wisdom must be vigilant with their late night prayers.

“Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months…” Surah Al-Qadr 1-3

Mankind is in complete oblivion of his destiny. Therefore, one should live in a constant state of praise, remembrance and gratitude.

Faith is lived with love. The outcome of love is good manners. Thus, the degree of people’s faith could be measured with their manners and politeness.

There is never any yelling and shouting in the lives of the Prophets.

Prophet Muhammad (s.a.s) says: “When a believer dies, their prayer will stand by their head, their alms to their right and their fasts by their left.” (See Haythami, III:51)

If Sufism is to be described in one word, then it would be ‘piety’ (awareness of Allah the Almighty).

‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, states: “People are enemies to what they do not know.”

Ibn Arabî says: “Being the most perfected of all human species, Prophethood thus began and ended with the Messenger of Allah.” (Ibn Arabî, Fusûsu’l-Hikem, IV, 319)

The most important virtue of a servant is to recognize the Messenger of Allah clearly.

A believer must never forget that they are in need of the earnest entreaties emanating from hearts which they are to put at ease.

We, all of us, are the students of the school of this world that is an arena of Divine trial. Our education will come to an end with our death and we will be buried with our deeds.

The true bliss and splendour of wealth is spending it in the way of Allah, by safeguarding the carnal self from miserliness and waste.

‘Umar, may Allah be well pleased with him, says: “The innermost witness of a vice is our conscience.”

‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, states: “A person’s worth is as much as their wishes and desires.”

The true bliss and splendour of wealth is spending it in the way of Allah, by safeguarding the carnal self from miserliness and waste.

How beautifully Isma’il ‘Ata’ encapsulates the spiritual sensitivity of a perfected believer: “Be shade in the sun, a robe in the cold, and bread in hunger.”

Every blessing has a price. Claims to ownership of something the price of which has not be paid is a fool’s errand.

Abu Bakr, may Allah be well pleased with him, says: “There is no harm in patience and no benefit in gloom and panic.”

Profeta (s.a.s) dijo: Y quien crea en Allah y en el dia del Juicio Final, que sea generoso con su vecino. Müslim,I,222,Iman74, 75.

Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi, may his secret be sanctified, says: “Supplication and worship is being together with Allah. For one who is with Allah, both life and death are agreeable…”

Abu Bakr, may Allah be well pleased with him, says: “There is no affliction of which there is none that is worse than it.”

Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward only from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven. Sahih Al-Bukhari

It is said in a hadith: “If people knew what the month of Ramadan really was, they would wish that the whole year could be Ramadan.”

We came to the world without paying a price. But we will go to the Hereafter having paid the debt of gratitude for all the bounties we have attained.

The first fruit of belief is compassion. A person is as compassionate as they are able to compensate for the deprivation of others.

Ownership claims made on something whose price has not been paid is a fool’s errand. Our most precious asset in this realm, one whose price we need to pay, is our belief.

The true bliss and splendour of wealth is spending it in the way of Allah, by safeguarding the carnal self from miserliness and waste.

Dominion belongs to Allah. Spending the wealth entrusted temporarily purely on one’s carnal self is waste, while accumulating it is miserliness.

Suffering brings the human being to maturity. Rocks along the beach struck for centuries by the waves have thus been freed from roughness and have become as strong as granite.

“The impurity within you can be cleaned not with water, but with tears.”  Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi

Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi, may his secret be sanctified, says: “Supplication and worship is being together with Allah. For one who is with Allah, both life and death are agreeable…”

Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi, may his secret be sanctified, says: “Supplication and worship is being together with Allah. For one who is with Allah, both life and death are agreeable…”

Allah Todopoderoso dijo: “Los cielos y la tierra no Me contienen, pero Me contiene el corazón de Mis siervos creyentes.”(Ayluni, Kashfu’l Jafa, II:195)

“One who has a good friend is in no need of a mirror.” Mawlana Yalaladdin Rumi

One cannot expect anything in return without making any effort. We have no right to be angry with anyone without first teaching and communicating to them. If we are to be angry, then we must be angry with ourselves first.

‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, states: “A person’s worth is as much as their wishes and desires.”

Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi says: “Be friends with the (righteous) people, because the marauders of a caravan will be as powerless as that caravan is itself crowded and populated.”

We, all of us, are the students of the school of this world that is an arena of Divine trial. Our education will come to an end with our death and we will be buried with our deeds.

A state of praise, thanks, remembrance, resignation and supplication should be the unchanging attributes of a believer in the changing conditions of life.

Many people are a friend to self-interest. True friendship, however, is to be willing to share in the troubles of a friend as much as in their happiness.

‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, says: “Your souls have no value less than Paradise, so do not sell them for anything less.”

‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, states: “People are enemies to what they do not know.”

As indicated in a Prophetic Tradition: “Beware of the supplication of the wronged. There is no screen between them and Allah.” (Bukhari, Zakat, 419)

Jihad in Islam is aimed not at annexing a piece of land or at bloodshed, but rushing to the aid of the oppressed and to be able to conquer those hearts awaiting guidance.

Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi, may his secret be sanctified, says: “Everything that needs to be given must be given before death takes it.”

Every blessing has a price. Claims to ownership of something the price of which has not be paid is a fool’s errand.

Wealth and riches are entrusted to us by Allah. Our heart ought not be a worldly vault. We must strive to store within it not the world, but the Hereafter.
