Thank God it’s Friday: 29th October 2010

by

Anyone who disregards his Friday prayers, his entire week will be in chaos! Some people skip prayers, because they are unable to get time off from work. “They will fire me from my job if I pray,” they say. Don’t fear those whom you work for, instead, fear Allah. Let them fire you. Maulana says, it is better to make your boss angry, than to make Allah angry! Oh believers, take the barokah (blessings) of Juma’ah, for if you forsake the blessings of Juma’ah, the other days of the week contain no barokah for you.

Hadis ini mengandungi pelbagai pengetahuan/pengajaran: 29 Oktober 2010

by

Kebanyakan manusia hari ini merasa sangat aman dan selesa kerana secara faktanya, kedudukan geografi mereka tidak berada pada kedudukan garisan/zon aktif gempa bumi atau tidak menjadi sasaran taufan dan barang kali mereka fikir mereka tidak akan sama sekali dilanda tsunami kerana kedudukan mereka adalah di luar ancaman tsunami. Bala bencana datangnya dari Allah dan secara amnya, ia tidak berlaku berdasarkan faktor geografi atau sebagai satu kejadian alam semulajadi semata-mata! Dengan tujuan hidup yang tidak menentu, manusia kini sentiasa berada dalam ketakutan sepanjang hidup mereka. Disebalik kacau bilau dan huru hara yang berlaku ini, bagaimanakah setiap dari kamu dapat mencapai keselamatan dan keamanan dalam diri?

Islam honours Women: 30th October 2010

by

It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law). (Quran 36:40)
The Sun and Moon each have their own orbits, each has its own unique journey and role, each has been equipped for that specific Divine duty that it has been created for. Similarly, men and women have been created and equipped differently and uniquely for their respective duties. Just as the Sun cannot do what the Moon does or vice-versa (the Solar System would be in chaos if it did), men and women must follow the Divine roles they have been designed for. Once they try to move outside their ordained ‘orbits’, chaos will descend upon their lives, as we are seeing right before our eyes, today.

This single hadees contains all knowledge: 29th October 2010

by

Some people take comfort in the fact that their countries lie outside the earthquake zone, or that they do not lie along the hurricane belt, or that they are not in the tsunami strike zone. Disasters are sent by Allah, they are not random occurrences due to ‘nature’! Maulana says, each disaster is a precise punishment from the heavens, that claims its victims by Heavenly order, so don’t take comfort in being far from a potential disaster zone. The advent of typhoons and hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, floods, political unrest, deadly diseases and marital conflicts, are signs of Allah’s Anger towards Man intensifying. With so much uncertainty in his life, Man lives in constant fear now. Amidst this madness, how does one find peace and security?

Why Maulana Shaykh Nazim stopped his Suhbahs

by

We have been served with 500 Suhbahs, 500 heavenly table-spreads of sumptuous Spiritual food. We have hardly even tasted of the dishes…and we are clamouring and demanding for more? Astaghfirullah….Maulana Shaykh Nazim said the next day, that we must digest the food first, only then will we feel hungry again. It is an oblique reference to the many who have not practised any of the life-changing advice contained within these powerful Suhbahs….

Saints are hidden during Winter: 24th October 2010

by

We are now at the end of Winter, during which the Tree of Islam had been laid bare, leafless and fruitless. Faced with a journey devoid of tasteless, humans flocked to seek gratification by drowning themselves in this worldly quagmire. Led by diabolical ‘guides’, many generations of youths have been vaccinated until they have become immune to piety and guidance. But as Winter draws to a close, the approach of the promised Spring is clear, and those who had worked to uproot the Tree of Islam are stunned to see the revival of what they thought, was a Tree that they had annihilated. Have they forgotten, Who planted that Tree?

The night of the special declaration: “Be Mine!” 20th October 2010

by

Tonight’s Suhbah is the culmination of almost 500 Suhbahs that Maulana has given daily, for almost 18 months. It touches on the very highest point of Servanthood, one that should be our ultimate target to achieve. Any person who understands this Suhbah, will no longer busy himself with petty quarrels and childish egositic acts – we are at the Gate of Qiyamat, and we must complete the journey of becoming Rabbani, His Khalifa, before we return. In this concluding episode, Maulana leads us skillfully to the much-awaited finale.

Those who Seek, shall Find: 23rd October 2010

by

Man’s greatest honour, is to have been invited to the Divine presence. And to add to that honour, Allah addressed the Children of Adam, and sent His Most Honoured Servants to invite him to Allah. With such unprecedented honour, we should be in an eternal prostration of thankfulness and ecstasy. The purpose of Maulana’s Suhbahs, is to invite us to Him. Some hearts have been awakened, but some have run away from the Merciful. Oh Mankind, what has caused you to turn away from your Lord Most Kind?

Kunci Menuju Kehidupan yang Indah: 18hb Oktober 2010

by

Jika kamu mengejar seekor semut dan berusaha untuk membunuhnya, ia akan melarikan diri, karena ingin tetap mempertahankan hidupnya dan menikmati rasa manisnya kehidupan. Sesungguhnya semut memiliki pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang dirinya dan tentang Sang Pencipta dibandingkan dengan sebahagian manusia. Ia memahami Siapa yang menciptakan kehidupannya dan ia selalu dalam keadaaan bertasbih, mengagungkan kebesaran Allah, karena ia bersyukur telah diciptakan dari ketiadaan menjadi ada untuk merasakan kenikmatan hidup. Sungguh memalukan bagi Ummat Manusia, yang tidak berada di dalam keadaan selalu mengagungkan kebesaran Allah, meskipun kita telah dianugerahkan kenikmatan lebih dari apa yang dianugerahkan kepada sang semut!

Short snippets of Advice: 21st October 2010

by

Allah said: ‘Oh My servant, obey Me, and I will raise you to become a Divinely one (Robbani), and when you say ‘BE’ to a matter, it shall be!'” To become a Divinely one, study these 500 Suhbahs that Maulana has given! Maulana said that attenders had been given more (knowledge) than they asked for, they had reached the limit already. Like a person who has eaten his fill, he cannot eat any more until he has digested what is in his stomach. And once a person has digested his food, he becomes hungry again; only then is it time to serve him food once again. If he eats more food while he is still full, everything gets mixed up within his stomach, and he will not derive any benefit from the extra food that he is trying to force down. So it is only logical, to digest the food in one’s stomach first, before asking for more.

Don’t let strangers into your home: 19th October 2010

by

Is He happy with us? Do you know what makes Allah unhappy with us? It is when He looks into our hearts, and finds something/someone there, besides Himself! Allah is unhappy with a human being, who puts or welcomes, other than Him, into his heart. The heart is Baitullah, the House of Allah. If it is His House, He is the only One allowed there. How is it that we are allowing this dirty worldly life and our filthy egos, to enter His House?

Seni Berperang – Mengenal Musuhmu: 17hb Oktober

by

Maulana menyeru kepada seluruh Muslim bersaudara, Kristen dan Yahudi! Beliau mengatakan, kita semua telah kehilangan arah, kita semua lupa tujuan kita yang sebenarnya, kita telah jatuh ke dalam perangkap dan tipu daya syaitan, dan hidup kita di dunia ini bagaikan hidup di Jahannam (neraka). Maulana menerangkan misi/tujuan Nabi-nabi yang diutus agar kita semua memahami dengan jelas: Allah mengutus para Nabi untuk melawan ajaran syaitan! Merupakan tugas untuk seluruh umat manusia untuk menemukan keyakinan dan ideologi yang berasal dari syaitan dan menghancurkannya!

The Key to a Sweet Life: 18th October 2010

by

Life is sweet, which is why no one wants to die. Even an ant, Maulana says, if you chase it and attempt to kill it, it will run for its life, as it wants to continue to exist and taste the sweetness of existence. Even an ant knows Who brought it into existence and it recites tasbih, glorification of Allah, for it is thankful to have been created out of nothingness, and been brought into existence to taste life’s pleasures. Know that you have been honoured so highly by Allah, so live in a way befitting that honour and draw close to the One who gave you that honour, by thanking Him. Be pleased with Him, and live to please Him.

Kerajaan Syurga di Muka Bumi: 16hb Oktober 2010

by

Sebuah Hadits Rasulullah (saw) mengatakan, “Sultan/Raja adalah merupakan bayangan Allah di muka bumi,” sehingga Sultan mewakili Kerajaan Syurga di muka bumi. Di dalam sejarah manusia, tidak ada satupun Nabi atau Awliya Allah yang pilih oleh manusia. Mereka semua adalah pilihan Allah dengan Kebijaksanaan-Nya. Lihatlah dunia sekarang ini, mereka telah dikutuk karena mereka telah menyimpang!

The Art of War – Know your Enemy: 17th October 2010

by

The aim of every Prophet was to destroy evil. We must have the same intention too, to destroy shaitan and his diabolical representatives. But shaitan has cunningly turned Man against each other, so that they are no longer fighting him. By getting Man to forget this main aim, shaitan ensures that each man lives with bitterness and hatred to his fellow man. Maulana is calling all Muslims, Christians and Jews to return to their respective Holy Books, and to return to the original aim of our lives in dunia. Don’t fight each other – that teaching is from shaitan. Instead, fight shaitan – that teaching is from your Lord! We are to always remember that shaitan is indeed, a cruel and despicable adversary. Man has taken shaitan as a friend, whereas shaitan has always regarded Man as his enemy.

Live like a flower in a Garden: 15th October 2010

by

In this beautiful discourse, Maulana spoke of the need to return to obedience, and to return to a natural way of life, reducing our dependence on technology. He exhorted us to live as brothers, like flowers, existing side-by-side without conflict, in a magnificent Garden (of Paradise). Finally, he warned of an impending Divine cleansing, that will destroy all the weeds, but will leave the flowers, untouched.

Hiduplah Seperti Bunga di Taman: 15hb Oktober

by

Jika kita tidak bisa membuat Allah ridha, maka kehidupan kita di dunia dan di kehidupan selanjutnya penuh dengan penderitaan dan kesedihan, kita tidak akan bisa merasakan ketenteraman, kesenangan ataupun kebahagiaan. Tidakkah kalian ingin menikmati kemanisan kehidupan di dunia dan akhirat? Teknologi membunuh Rohaniah kalian! Kembalilah ke kehidupan alami!

Kembalilah Kepada-Nya Sebagai Seorang Hamba, dan Ia Akan Memuliakanmu Bagaikan Seorang Raja: 14hb Oktober 2010

by

Hanya ada dua kategori didalam kehidupan ini. Ada Sang Pencipta dan ada ciptaan (hamba). Karena kalian bukan Sang Pencipta, pastinya kalian adalah ciptaan,sang hamba! Jika kalian tidak berperilaku sebagai seorang hamba, berarti kalian telah bertindak bagaikan Sang Pencipta! Allah tidak senang dengan orang-orang yang berperilaku seperti itu? Allah tidak memiliki sekutu. Jadi yang ada hanyalah perhambaan, tidak ada kategori lain untuk kita kecuali sebagai hamba.

The Kingdom of Heaven on earth: 16th October 2010

by

The only Quranic method of government is rule of Kings – all other Man-made models, are doomed to failure. But as prophesized by Rasulullah (saw), Kings will make way for tyrants, and in that era, ignorance fills the earth, and the ensuing Armageddon removes every cruel tyrant, leaving only those with love in their hearts, to herald the coming of Mahdi (as). Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven on earth!

Return to Him as a servant, and He will honour you like a king: 14th October 2010

by

There are only two categories in life. There is the Creator, and there is the creation (servants). Since you are not the Creator, you must be the creation, the servant! If you are not acting as a servant, that means you are acting as the Master! Allah is displeased with those who do that – Allah has no partners. So there is only servanthood, there is no other category for us except that. Return to him as servants, and He will grant you never-ending honour and glory! Don’t return to him as a King, but as a servant!

“Ya Tuhanku…hambamu menyerah!” 12hb October 2010

by

Ramai guru guru agama percaya bahawa mereka telah sampai ke kemuncak kefahaman dalam agama dan bahawa ufuk dimana mereka berdiri sekarang, adalah batas pemahaman manusia. Mereka terlalu bangga untuk merendahkan diri mereka dihadapan seorang Pembimbing2 Kerohanian, yang mempunyai hubungan sejati dengan alam ghaib dan yang memegang kunci2 khazanah Syurgawi yang dapat membuka pintu kefahaman dan tabir hikmah. Apakah Ringkasan/rangkuman, tujuan utama keseluruhan Syariah Islam? Ianya agar, hari demi hari, ego kamu bertambah lemah dan lemah, sehingga akhirnya ego mu menyerah.

Satu pertanyaan dari Sahabat2 Nabi Isa: 11hb Oktober 2010

by

Setiap perbuatan yang kamu lakukan, yang menta’ati ego, adalah penderhakaan kepada Allah! Setiap permintaan ego mu, adalah haram! Maka, walau kamu bergerak setapak pun menurut kehendak ego mu, kamu akan di azab oleh Allah. Pastikan setiap tapak yang kamu ambil adalah dalam ta’at kepada Syariat Allah. Setiap saat dalam kehidupan mu, mesti di dalam keta’atan. Orang yang beriman, tidak di izinkan untuk melakukan walau satu perbuatan menurut egonya! Sikap tunduk dan redha dengan senang hati atas setiap kehendak Allah, adalah adab yang paling sempurna bagi seorang yang bergelar hamba. Adakah kamu benar2 yakin yang Allah mampu untuk menanggung keperluan rezeki mu?

A question posed by the disciples of Jesus: 11th October 2010

by

Prophets never came to bring laughter and jokes, they were on a serious mission to bring realities. Prophets and Holy Books teach Man to change his life until it is in line with Heavenly Orders. Are you observing closely what you are doing – is it in accordance with Heavenly orders or are you doing as you like? Every act that is obeying your ego, is disobeying Allah! Every act that is accordance with you ego’s demands, is haram! The ultimate pedestal Man can be placed on in this world, is not to be a King, but to be His servant.

Tutuplah pintu hatimu terhadap dunia ini! 10hb Oktober 2010

by

Bagi hal-hal duniawi, kamu memberikan perhatian yg sangat mendalam dan memberi perincian dan perancangan yang begitu teliti. Wahai Manusia zaman ini yang lalai! Mengapakan kamu begitu senang untuk mendapatkan/meraih keuntungan yang terbatas di dunia, tetapi kamu mengabaikan keuntungan yang tidak terbatas di akhirat? Wahai manusia, tutuplah pintu hati mu tehadap dunia, kerana dunia itu kotor, ia ibarat bangkai, dan jika ia memasuki hati kamu, ia akan membawa kekotoran dan penyakit yang akan mengheret kita ke dalam kegelapan penderitaan neraka.

Dive for pearls in the Ocean: 13th October 2010

by

The Companions of the Seal of Prophets were chosen to be recipient’s of Prophetic pearls. They carry the heavy responsibility for the foundation of Islam as we know it. We must follow those who follow them, and we must accord them their due respect and gratitude. We should never speak ill of them – they are chosen ones!

Sentiasalah sedar akan hampirnya ajalmu! 9hb Oktober 2010

by

Setiap orang pasti akan melalui/merasakan kepahitan Kematian. Ingat, wahai manusia, bahawa kamu akan meninggalkan dunia ini, maka persiapkan dirimu untuk kehidupan selepas kematian! Kematian tidak bermakna, kehidupan kamu telah berakhir, kamu tidak akan tenggelam ke dalam ketiadaan atau dilupakan, tidak! Kematian membawa kamu ke sebuah permulaan, ke alamul barzakh, kepada satu kehidupan baru dialam kubur. Nasihatlah keluarga mu yang di kasihi, dan ingatkan mereka mengenai kematian yang sentiasa mengekori.

Be always aware of your approaching death: 9th October 2010

by

Death is a constant reminder of the hereafter, and we are asked to keep this reminder, by visiting graves. Keep advising the family about the certainty of death, and strive for true conviction and belief (yaqeen). One who has it, will be propelled into Paradise, but one who has no conviction, will become a ride (mount) for his ego and for shaitan.

Imitated faith, as compared to real faith

by

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Suhbah at KTM Surau 25th September 2010, after tahlil for Allahyarham Shaykh Zakaria bin Omar Bagharib Imitated faith vs Real faith We begin with Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem, for any action that begins with Basmalah is supported by Allah, and will bear fruit. In Surah Al-Fatihah, we begin with: ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ … Read more

Atur hidup mu, sepertimana Dia sukai, bukan seperti yang kamu sukai: 8hb Oktober 2010

by

Manusia zaman ini hidup dalam keadaan derhaka dan saling benci-membenci. Allah mencipta Manusia, supaya mereka boleh dikenakan pakaian kehormatan, tetapi kebanyakan Manusia telah mengikut iblis, mereka telah dipakaikan dengan pakaian kebuasan dan sifat2 liar. Mengapakah Allah dedahkan kisah2 musibah2 yang menimpa ummat2 dahulu di dalam Kitab Suci Al-Qur’an? Kerana kepada setiap ummat telah diutus seorang Nabi untuk membimbing mereka, dan setiap Nabi membawa cara hidup yang di redhai Allah, yang disenangi oleh Tuhan semesta alam. Cara hidup selain dari apa yang dipaparkan oleh para Nabi dan Rasul, tidak di redhai oleh Allah. Dan jika seseorang melakukan apa yang tidak menyenangkan Allah, dia berada dalam bahaya besar.

“Oh My Lord, I surrender!” 12th October 2010

by

Ego makes it difficult for a person to accept that there is one more knowledgeable than himself. Oh believers, humble yourselves! You must admit to yourselves, that you are in constant need of guidance and supervision. What is the Summary of the purpose of the whole Shariah of Islam? It is so that, day by day, the ego becomes weaker and weaker, until it eventually surrenders. At that point, you will say, “I am surrendering, Oh my Lord.”

Arrange your life, as He likes it, not as you like it. 8th October 2010

by

In this chilling Suhbah, Maulana warns of impending disaster for those who refused to arrange their lives, according to what was brought by the Prophet (saw), for the Way of life brought by the Prophet (saw), is what is pleasing to Him. Nowadays, we are living as we please, not as He pleases. Maulana sees dark clouds on the horizon this Muharram, and warns of a flood of fire, a flood of blood – Divine punishment for those who continue to defy Allah.

Ubahlah tujuan hidup anda! 7hb Oktober 2010

by

Maulana memberi peringatan kepada semua, bahawasanya, kematian mengekori manusia, seperti bayang2 yang sentiasa menemani kamu dan kematian boleh muncul pada bila2 masa, maka hiduplah dengan membuat persiapan yang sewajarnya untuk berpindah ke alam akherat. Maulana juga mengimbas kembali mengenai perubahan yang tejadi kepada Raja sekalian Wali, Ibrahim ibn Adham, sewaktu dia sedang memburu rusa.

Love one another and spread the Azan, 5th October 2010

by

“None of you will truly have faith, until he loves for his brother, what he loves for himself.” Maulana said, “Write this Holy hadees with golden letters, and look at it constantly! One who ignores his neighbours, cannot acquire true faith. Forms small Communes of believers, help one another, call out azan and pray together. Muslims must unite, regardless of their race and nationality! That is our honour.

Change your aim! 7th October 2010

by

Maulana Shaykh Nazim spoke about how death follows us like a shadow. He also told a beautiful story of how a powerful King, Ibrahim bin Adham (qs) had an encounter with Divine inspirations whilst he was deer-hunting, which caused him to completely alter his life’s aim, till he became the King of Sufis.

Apakah nilai mu, di sisi Allah? 4hb Oktober 2010

by

Jadilah insan yang berharga di sisi Allah! Bagaimana kamu boleh menjadi salah seorang dari mereka yang berharga di sisi Allah? Kamu harus mempelajari apa yang menjadikan seseorang hamba itu berharga atau tidak berharga, di sisi Allah. sanjungan dan sokongan manusia, walau jutaan manusia sekalipun, tidak akan dapat meningkatkan/menambahkan nilai kamu di sisi Allah walau sedikitpun!

There is a Pharoah in each one of us! 6th October 2010

by

Allah says, “Ya Muhammad (saw), if I am giving the same opportunity to all the Children of Adam, as I had given to Fir’aun, they would all have become like him!” we are like him in many ways, that, like him, we desire absolute power, we secretly wish to be idolised and ‘worshipped’, we desire to be emulated, to be the centre of attention, to be the main attraction, to be the one everybody admires and bows to, to be the dominant Master. We are as egoistic as Pharoah was!

Are you of any value, in the Divine Presence? 4th Oct 2010

by

Maulana spoke about the value of Man – what makes him valuable and what makes him worthless, in the Divine’s Judgement. Maulana quoted the story of Habil and Qabil, the two sons of Sayyidina Adam (as), to illustrate his point. The adulation and admiration of humans do not add anything to the value to your worth, so seek what will truly make you valuable eternally.
