The story of a rich King who died hungry

by

A Jewish man who found a hoard of treasure. “I am so blessed,” said the man, as he opened the treasure chest. He was overjoyed when he saw the contents of the chest, he found gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds – and a strange letter! The letter had been written by a King who had lived many years before that. The letter read as follows: “Oh you who has found this treasure, this treasure used to belong to me when I was King. I was a rich King, so much land was under my rule, and I had many subjects. Allah had given me generously from His bounties, but I was not thankful…

Oh Man, He created creation to serve you, he created you to serve Him

by

Allah then raised Man as His Vicegerent, His Khalifah, His Representative – above all of creation. That is the position of the Crown Prince to the King! That is a gift that is Azaliyyun Abadiyyun, from pre-eternity, to eternity. It is the greatest gift ever bestowed on any creation! So how should Man act, how should he behave towards his Lord who has given him this unmatched honor? Allah says, “Oh My Servants, I Created you, and I Sent you to be in this dunya. Beware and be aware! You were created for your Lord! I Created you for Myself, I Created dunya, for you.”

Defend the truth, and He will defend you

by

Tabligh (the act of preaching) is very important in Islam. Teachers / Guides / Scholars / Learned ones must know their responsibilities, and must not busy themselves with trivial and unimportant matters, whilst foregoing their prime duties of advising/teaching/guiding. It is a pity that most of them are busy looking like pious ones, instead of dispensing actual life-saving advice, day and night, to the ailing Ummah.

He who cheats, is not of my Ummah

by

  Summary of Maulana Shaykh Nazim’s daily Suhbahs 7th April 2010, Wednesday He who cheats, is not of my Ummah A’uzubillah himinash shaitan nirrajeem Bismillah-hir Rahman-nir Raheem Assalamu’alaikum wrh wbkt Mawlana said that all those who attended, would be blessed with happiness and honor, for it was a rare thing nowadays to be able to … Read more

Which camp are you from, the Mukhliseen (sincere ones) or the Mujrimoon (defiant ones)?

by

A sincere servant, will ask, “Where is the real Islam today?” And he will seek to uphold the mission of Rasulullah (saw). Such a one will oppose all those who seek to expand Shaytan’s kingdom, be they from Man or Jinn, and it may be that Allah will help him wipe out these hardened enemies of faith in just one night! Believers will know who is really on the side of their Lord, and who is with Shaytan, by the signs on their faces. The hardcore Shaytanic ones have spiritually darkened faces, steeped in ugliness. Mawlana said, we must ask ourselves, on whose side are we on? Are we with the Prophet (saw) or are we with Shaytan, the Mujrimoon?

First it is hardened, then it is locked

by

Maulana then posed deep, important questions for us all to ponder about: How do we unlock hearts that have been locked? Who locked their hearts? What had their hearts been locked by? Why had they not resisted the one who came to lock their hearts? Who held them back from resisting the one who came to lock their hearts? After all, there was a time, when their hearts were not locked, so something must have happened that caused them to become locked! So what is the key? Did they lock their own hearts, or did they listen to someone who told them to do so?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the greatest one of all?

by

Shaitan has a magic mirror, that he holds up for our ego to admire itself. Shaitan tells us to use this mirror all the time. It is a special mirror, as when the ego looks at himself in that mirror, he looks humungous, he looks so important, he is the centre of attention, he is the special, chosen one, he looks so majestic. When we look into this mirror, we feel pride about ourselves, we feel arrogant and superior, we feel high and mighty!

From heart to heart, there is a secret connection

by

Human hearts come from one Creator, there is a hidden connection between the hearts of humans, a secret relationship that bonds people’s hearts together. Knowledge can be sent from one heart to another, once a connection is established (like a telephone line). It is a valuable bond to forge, it is an invisible means of propagating/acquiring knowledge. So polish your heart, seek a connection to your guide, to receive inspirations and guidance.

Oh believers, lower your gaze!

by

Mankind has been taught by Rasulullah (saw), to lower their gaze from looking at the opposite sex, and from turning their gaze from all that is forbidden, for that gaze is the beginning of a journey, to fulfilling illicit desires. Shaitan is always at hand, to persuade people to take that forbidden second glance, to soak up the sight of exposed flesh, to inflame the passions, to nudge one towards the evil way.

Allah has given you a one-way-ticket home, use it wisely

by

To inherit Paradise for eternity, you only have to be obedient to Allah, and to disobey your ego, for a short time in dunia. We are here only for three days – yesterday, today and tomorrow – it is so short a time, in exchange for eternity, so be patient. Dunia deceives its lovers, to come to it and to abandon eternity.

Stairway to heaven

by

You are free to choose, says Maulana, any path that you wish to take. Choose either to satisfy the animal being in you, or to strive for eternal happiness with your spiritual being. The choice is yours. Remember, once you enter the door of eternity (in death), you will never return here again. You will bear the consequences of your choice, for eternity. That is why shaitan is teaching and cheating Mankind, that eternity does not exist.

Islam came to free you from slavery to dunia

by

By building a bond with dunia, you cannot attain spiritual uplifting, because, to have a relationship with dunia – to forge an attachment to any part of it – is to become its slave! Islam came to free Mankind from slavery to dunia, not to teach Man to cling to it! Islam frees us from being a servant to anything, other than Allah.

The Deadly Kiss Of Iblis

by

At the instant shaitan plants his kiss on the forehead of the condemned one, ugliness begins to seep into this person’s face, and gradually, his features change into shaitanic ones, throughout his life, until death comes. After death, worse is to follow – the facial features become even uglier and more horrifying, it acquires an added shade of darkness and a foul odour begins to be emitted from the body.

Are you standing in a Circle in the Sand?

by

Many scholars draw a circle in the sand around themselves and accept only what is within that circle, rejecting all that lies outside it. Why? Why place an imaginary limit to Allah’s limitless gifts of knowledge? Why limit yourself from growing in understanding, when Allah gives endlessly? It is a loss for the scholars themselves when they do so, for they are merely standing in shallow waters (of understanding), rejoicing in the little water that surrounds them, rejecting the vast ocean of knowledge before them, hence rejecting the pleasurable satisfaction of advancing in understanding and in spiritual stations. What is worse is that all of this is self-inflicted. It is them who have drawn this imaginary circle around themselves!

A fish can never grow larger than the Ocean

by

Run from shaitanic knowledge, for that is not real knowledge, it is masked to appear like knowledge by a clever deception, just like the deep inviting waters of the worldly ocean. As long as Man seeks material treasures from this dunia, he will be attached to this worldly life, of which there will be a limit, a boundary – in death. But he who connects to heavenly beings, and dives into heavenly oceans, he acquires spiritual treasures, of which there are no limits or boundaries, these are endless gifts of endless pleasures.

Seventy two sects will fall from the Bridge!

by

We celebrate our children’s birthdays, and birthdays of those whom we love, yet these are all not at all classified as Innovations, but the moment a Muslim celebrates the birthday of his beloved Prophet (saw), he is deemed as one who has crossed the boundaries of Islam! Did the Prophet (saw) not say to Umar (ra), that a true believer must love Rasulullah (saw), more than everyone, even more than his own self? And do we not celebrate the birthdays of those whom we love?

Who will sit on the Throne on Judgement Day?

by

Who will sit on the Holy Throne at Masyar? Allah Almighty, who is not bound by time and space, will certainly not ‘sit’ on it, for that is a deviant understanding of His Oneness. So whom is the Throne placed there for?
Allah AlMighty says, “My Most beloved, Muhammad, will sit on that Throne, for he represents Me, the Throne cannot carry Me, but it can carry the One who represents Me.”

The Prophet took 23 years to digest the Qur’an

by

The Prophet (saw) was taught the Qur’an by Allah, and the Prophet (saw) then taught the Qur’an to the Ummah. How is it that some Muslims have the gall to discard the Prophet (saw), and to belittle his position as the One who was taught by the Most Gracious?
(Allah) Most Gracious! It is He Who has taught the Qur’an. (Quran 55:1-2)

Without Rasulullah (saw), we will understand nothing!

Be with the Sadiqin

by

Shaitan works diligently to bring tears to Man’s life, he wants to see us in sadness, and he brings us diseases, sets traps and whispers evil suggestions to distract and mislead Man at every moment. When Man falls into sadness, shaitan has achieved his diabolical objective! The solution lies in the following true ones…

We are wild creatures

by

We are wild trees or wild animals, says Maulana, we are filled with darkness, we are in need of a guiding light to achieve purity and understanding. Allah had sent the Prophets, and now the Saints, for the sole purpose of grafting tame and domestic human-like characteristics into us.

Real Islam is life transforming

by

Just as shaitan became the accursed one when he disobeyed and defied Allah, we too will suffer the same fate, unless we banish shaitan completely from the whole of our lives. We must remove shaitan, his presence, his advice, his teachings – from our lives, our families, our communities, and our countries – in order to be happy, in this worldly life and in the hereafter. Free yourself from shaitan, and you would have fulfilled what Rasulullah (saw) came to do, and you would have acquired real Islam.

Bring your best, to meet Allah

by

In the olden days, when people stayed in farming and agricultural villages, they used to have a special day each week, when they would take their farming produce to the market, to sell them. The farmers would collect all the best fruits and vegetables, leaving the deformed and less-than-perfect ones for their own consumption, to the market. Hence, only the best of the harvest was put on display for all to see, and every farmer would be proud to show what healthy and well-grown fruits and vegetables they had grown.
Similarly, Man will gather on Judgement Day with his harvest, his deeds, and all these will be on display,

Each moment, He is giving us a new gift

by

Maulana says that each day, we see the Sun rise and set, yet we are oblivious to the fact that each rising of the Sun heralds a new set of gifts from Allah – benefits, pleasures and satisfaction. Allah sends new gifts daily, both day and night, for it is human nature to like to experience new things, for all that is new, is enjoyable. Allah the Almighty knows the intricate needs of His creation, and he is constantly sending His gifts on the creation, in order to fulfill these spoken and unspoken needs. Praise be to Allah!

Has it never occurred to you, that the Qur’an contains a message for you?

by

Pondering upon the Qur’an is like a man who has entered the Ocean, and who begins to explore it. If he snorkels, he can see more now (as compared to just standing at the beach). If he dives deeper in, he can see / find / discover / experience even more! If he has a submarine, he can see much more than the snorkeler or the diver has seen. If he uses a microscope to study the seawater, he will discover so many microscopic creatures that cannot be seen with the naked eye. So depending on how determined we are to explore and discover, more and more knowledge is revealed to us.

Thank Allah and Don’t Complain

by

Allah does not like to hear his Servants complaining! Allah likes His servants to be thankful! It is strange that we thank people all the time, but we forget to thank Allah, day and night. We should say, “Ya Rabbi, syukrulillah.” For every ‘thank you’ we give to our fellow man, we should give millions and billions of thanks to Allah Almighty for his merciful never-ending gifts upon us. So don’t complain, accept His gifts and thank Him ceaselessly!
