Allahﷻ Says in the Holy Quran,

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦٓ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِى ۖ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُۥ قَالَ إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ
And the king said, "Come up with him (i.e., Bring him, Sayyidina Yusuf Alayhi salam) to me! I would faithfully (attach) him to myself." So, as soon as he spoke to him, he said, "Surely today you are close to us, established, and devoted."
(Quran 12:54)

Sayyidina Yusuf Alayhi salam went through many difficulties in his life and in the end, he was rewarded by Allahﷻ for his patience. He was raised in rank, from a prisoner in the dungeon, to attaining the highest honour, being one most trusted in closeness to the king.

For a believer, Allah Almighty is the King of all kings, and attaining nearness to Himﷻ is the highest honour for a humble servant.

Mawlanaق said that when Allahﷻ Loves Hisﷻ servant, Heﷻ brings the person in closeness to Himﷻ. Mureeds in this Way know, it is not an easy journey. They are taught to think nothing of the good deeds they do, to seek no reward for their actions, except Allah’sﷻ Pleasure.

A mureed must strive to do all within his capacity to be in service in this Way, following the orders of his Guide, and beautifying his actions with Sincerity.

Sincerity, is the Protection in Allahﷻ against iblis alayhi laqnat and his forces.

A sincere mureed realises that every good action he performs is in reality, from the Generosity of his Lord and he releases its rewards to the Safekeeping of His Belovedﷺ. In the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty, Most High, there is no place for ‘I’-ness. To lose oneself is the goal of Tariqah, to attain the Pleasure of Allahﷻ is the destination.

Mawlanaق reminds us to be wary of our egoistic-self and to act with caution, always checking the heart for any signs of subtle rebellion towards Allahﷻ. Praises and insults must appear the same to a mureed as he learns to have complete trust in the Will of Allahﷻ.

As one seeking Knowledge from the Quran will find, in the letter ‘س’, a linguistic value of subtlety. The subtleness of ‘س’ is found in the entire Surah An-Nas, which is a prayer, seeking the Help of Allahﷻ against the insidious games shaitan and his companions play, whispering to people feelings of distrust in their Lord Most High. Hence, be careful, because even a small amount of unhappiness with the Will and Wisdom of Allahﷻ, can take one far from Himﷻ.

The secret, hidden enemy can only be defeated with constant zikrullah, being with Allahﷻ and asking Himﷻ for help against the ‘snipers’ waiting to ambush and attack with their ‘waswasa’, crafty whisperings.

May Allahﷻ make us to be those who have full trust in Himﷻ, in our Prophetﷺ, and in our Guideق, until we reach the highest honour of attaining closeness to Himﷻ.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/48110432Thu, 30 Dec 2021 15:30:27 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Allahﷻ Says in the Holy Quran, وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦٓ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِى ۖ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُۥ قَالَ إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ And the king said, "Come up with him (i.e., Bring him,...

And We have certainly honoured the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.
(Quran 17:70)

Mankind, the most honourable of all creation, are spiritual beings created to be in eternal Happiness with their Lord, yet many are cheated to think they are mere lowly creatures, created in vain to pursue only this physical life.

Mawlanaق said that a person is like a precious gem, a soul of Divine Light, hidden underneath an earthly body, an outer crust of dried mud. When shaytan knew of the exalted station of Man, he was angered that the one created from ‘dirt’ was chosen over him to receive such honour. He studied his enemy, and vowed in arrogance to his Lord Allahﷻ, to overpower mankind and cheat them from their divine destiny.

Hence, Mawlanaق said in hisق recent sohbah that we are at war with allied enemies and that World War III commenced a long time ago.

A war unlike any other, an insidious war of the end times, to trick, blind and swerve mankind into a pit of endless suffering, here and hereafter.

The enemy we face has infiltrated our glorious Islamic history, stolen from its richness and attempted to taint its beauty.

Ignoramus Muslims today are looking to the unscrupulous, ugly satanic western ways to emulate and are tricked to think nothing of the supreme, beautiful religion Allah Almighty chose for Man, Islam.

Muslims have followed the ways of the unbelievers and forgotten about the perfection of mankind in the Holy Prophetﷺ.

Never in history has any person been extensively studied as the Messenger of Islam, Sayyidina Muhammadﷺ was. Hisﷺ every living moment was recorded for the purpose of exemplifying mankind with perfection in moral character and the highest standards of living.

Yet, many are tricked to forget the honour of being believers, and are busying themselves with useless celebrity idols staged to become role models towards a corrupted lifestyle, a weapon in this new aged world war.

Allahﷻ Says in the Holy Quran,

إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورًا

Verily, for those who squander wastefully are brothers of the devils, and Satan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
(Quran 17:27)

Mankind is poor and always needy of Allahﷻ, yet many think they are self-sufficient and rebel against their Lord by wasting Hisﷻ Gifts.

People of the end times are more wasteful than ever before. Advancement in technology and food delivery chains have made many unaware of how blessed we are to have food on our plates.

All of life today appears to be in infinite bounty, but in reality, every person has been allotted a finite share of his needs.

Before the arrival of the Angel of Death, Sayyidina Azrael Alayhi Salam, the other noble angels in-charge of a person’s rizq (sustenance) will first complete their duty of searching the entire universe to see if there is any food, drink, air and time left for him on earth. When everything he has been divinely allotted with, has reached him, then these noble angels will inform the person that the arrival of Death is upon him.

All that a person is written to have, will expire at the time pre-ordained by Allah Most High. Hence, to be wasteful is a sign of unbelief, a lack of faith that one’s rizq is fixed and will one day, come to an end.

Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adilق said in hisق recent sohbah, “to waste is to offend the Ni’mah (favour). It is the reason for favours to be gone.”

Mawlanaق also added, “the Barakah is gone because of wasting, and there is famine. There is cultivation, but because there is no Barakah, it is not enough.”

Barakah is intangible, it can only be felt when something that seems small in calculation becomes a source of sustenance for many, in uncountable folds. We must be very careful not to lose Barakah, and, to hold on to it, by being truly content and grateful with what has been given.

Holy Prophetﷺ said, “take benefit of Five before Five.
1) Your youth before your old age,
2) health before sickness,
3) wealth before poverty,
4) free time before being preoccupied and
5) your life before your death.”

Be busy not wasting the number of breaths, food, drink, money, and time you have and utilise your day in worship. Prophetﷺ said, “Your Lord Almighty said: Son of Adam, be free for My worship. I will fill your heart with richness and fill your hands with provision. Son of Adam, do not distance yourself from Me, or else I will fill your heart with poverty and fill your hands with worthless distractions.”
Hadith Qudsi

For a believer, everything he does from sleeping to working, is ibadah (worshipping). Be careful with the gifts of ‘Five before Five’, allotted by our Generous Lord for us, and be as Mawlanaق said, thankful ones, busy in charity, helping others, acquiring beneficial knowledge and teaching, in awareness of the limited amount of rizq we have been bestowed with.

Allahﷻ Says in the Holy Quran,

۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ أَنتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ

O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.

(Quran 35:15)

Indeed, mankind is poor and always needy of Allahﷻ, yet many think they are self-sufficient and rebel against their Lord.

Those who seek to know and to be with their Benevolent Creator are blessed ones who are chosen to be in true happiness here and hereafter.

The Holy Quran was sent for the purpose of knowing Allahﷻ, to understand the religion God Almighty Chose for all of mankind and to eventually reach to be with Himﷻ, in eternal happiness and beauty.

The Superiority of the Quranic words over all words, is the Superiority of Allah over all creation.

(Hadeeth Qudsi)

In the Quran, Allahﷻ refers to Hisﷻ Holy Book with the words, ‘zalika’- meaning, that, a far away object, and also with the word, ‘haza’- meaning, this, something near.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

That is the Book, there is no suspicion about it, a guidance to the pious. (Quran 2:2)

In the verse above, we find Allahﷻ referring to the Quran as ‘That Book’.

With more understanding of Quranic Arabic, one finds that this verse means a ‘far away Book He Wrote’, specifically indicating the Heavenly origins of the Holy Quran Written by Allahﷻ.

While in other verses, such as the one below, Allahﷻ uses the word ‘this’, referring to the Quran, meaning ‘this, (Quran) that is to be read’.

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰفِلِينَ

By revealing this Qur’an to you, we hereby narrate to you the best narrative, while before this you were among those unaware (of it). (Quran 12:3)

For one who understands the eloquence of Quranic Arabic, this simple comparison of pronouns shows the immense beauty of Allah’sﷻ Word. Hisﷻ Words are the Most Eloquent & Lovely words, anyone will ever hear.

In another example of Quranic Beauty, we site a three letter root word like, ‘جنن’, ‘janoon’- an unseen covering, giving similar meaning to words like ‘jannah’ (garden/Paradise), ‘janin’ (embryo) or ‘jinn’ (unseen ones). All these words refer to something unseen, sharing similarities to its root word, ‘janoon’.

Holy Quranic Arabic is the language chosen by Allahﷻ to deliver Hisﷻ Guidance to mankind, hence we should not make it the least important in our list of priorities, to acquire knowledge of and to master.

Soothing to the Heart, Soul and Mind, even by looking at, and writing Quranic verses is therapeutic and healing.

The human mind was created to understand, in Arabic. Hence it's the language of teachings of the Quran.

The human tongue was created, to speak in Arabic. Hence it's the language of Jannah.

The human heart was created to be decorated, in Arabic. Hence it's the language of Zikrullah.

That is why Einstein says mankind uses only 5% of their minds. To know only about dunia.

But Mawlanaق said our Prophetﷺ used 100% of hisﷺ mind. To understand and ponder in Arabic, the Quranic verses, ya ulul albab- gifted individuals, who possess wisdom, intelligence and knowledge based on belief and devotion to Allahﷻ and this is not an ordinary term.

All dunia knowledge is the 5%, in reality much less, while the 95% of Mind’s useage is to Iqra-ul-Quran, wal tafakkur, read the Quran with understanding and to ponder over the verses. To know Himﷻ.

May Allahﷻ make us to be sincere mureeds seeking to prioritise learning and understanding Holy Quranic Arabic with the sole intention of becoming as our Holy Prophetﷺ was, a Walking Quran, knowing our Lord and to be with Himﷻ in eternal Happiness.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/47891530Sun, 12 Dec 2021 14:03:26 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Allahﷻ Says in the Holy Quran, ۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ أَنتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while Allah is the Free of need, the...

In another example of Quranic Beauty, we site a three letter root word like, ‘جنن’, ‘janoon’- an unseen covering, giving similar meaning to words like ‘jannah’ (garden/Paradise), ‘janin’ (embryo) or ‘jinn’ (unseen ones). All these words refer to something unseen, sharing similarities to its root word, ‘janoon’.

Holy Quranic Arabic is the language chosen by Allahﷻ to deliver Hisﷻ Guidance to mankind, hence we should not make it the least important in our list of priorities, to acquire knowledge of and to master.

Soothing to the Heart, Soul and Mind, even by looking at, and writing Quranic verses is therapeutic and healing.

The human mind was created to understand, in Arabic. Hence it's the language of teachings of the Quran.

The human tongue was created, to speak in Arabic. Hence it's the language of Jannah.

The human heart was created to be decorated, in Arabic. Hence it's the language of Zikrullah.

That is why Einstein says mankind uses only 5% of their minds. To know only about dunia.

But Mawlanaق said our Prophetﷺ used 100% of hisﷺ mind. To understand and ponder in Arabic, the Quranic verses, ya ulul albab- gifted individuals, who possess wisdom, intelligence and knowledge based on belief and devotion to Allahﷻ and this is not an ordinary term.

All dunia knowledge is the 5%, in reality much less, while the 95% of Mind’s useage is to Iqra-ul-Quran, wal tafakkur, read the Quran with understanding and to ponder over the verses. To know Himﷻ.

May Allahﷻ make us to be sincere mureeds seeking to prioritise learning and understanding Holy Quranic Arabic with the sole intention of becoming as our Holy...]]>2095holybookofgod,learnarabic,lifemanual,naqshbandialiyyah,quran-classes,quranformankind,quranicarabic,wordofgodcleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/anger-a-major-symptom-of-egoistic-disease--47853387
The 6th Grandshyakh of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, Mawlana Shaykh Bayazid Al-Bistamiق said, “to be close to Allahﷻ, one must first be close to those beloved to Allahﷻ.”

When Shaykh Bayazidق passed on, he was over seventy years old. Before heق died, someone asked him his age and Mawlana Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Daghestaniق said that after Shaykh Bayazid’sق encounter with Sayyidina Khidr Alayhi Salam at a graveyard, where Al-Khidr was pointing to the graves of some great scholars in a Muslim cemetery saying, “This one is few months old; that one, three; that one, seven.”

Shaykh Abu Yazeedق said: “I am four years old. For seventy years I was veiled. I got rid of my veils (egoistic-self) only four years ago.”

Tariqah is the blessed school of journeying to Allahﷻ, taking the guiding handhold of a Spiritual Master and leaving the clutches of slavery to the egoistic-self. It is an institution for destroying any form of self-aggrandisement in one’s heart, until one progresses to have only Allahﷻ remaining at heart.

“Indeed My earth and My heavens could not contain Me but the soft peaceful heart of My believing servant can.”
Hadeeth Qudsi in Ihya ‘Uloom Al-Deen of Imam Al-Ghazali Vol. 3

With the help of a Spiritual Guide, the merciful breaking of the ‘idol’ filled heart begins, through daily tests, cleansing it from all self-worship.

It is the most difficult and painful process, the greatest battle, as Prophetﷺ said, ‘Jihaddun Nafs’, the battle with the ego. One who can defeat his ego is the one with true strength. Only when the egoistic-self has died, can a person truly live and reach Servanthood to Allahﷻ.

The most ferocious attribute of the ego is anger- ghadabin nafs. Manifesting in two forms, the anger out of Love for Allahﷻ or the destructive anger of the Nafs. The latter is the prevailing symptom of the lack of Iman and Ego’s hold on a person.

Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق said that Iman is light, it consumes all darkness of evil, but anger is like fire, it destroys all goodness and extinguishes the light of Iman. Anger comes from you planning and wanting the opposite of what Allahﷻ Plans for you.

Anger, heق said, is like a big pond with many fish alive in it. Each fish is likened to a bad characteristic a person possesses. The only way to drain this pond and exterminate the ‘evil fish’ living in it, is through the night vigil Sunnah of Solat Najat, a daily practice for the Naqshbandi mureed.

Solat Najat is the ‘extinguisher’ of the ‘Flames of Fury’ of the lower egoistic-self. It is the remedy for the aspiring mureed, to slowly and steadily attain true peace, paving his way towards healing from the darkness of anger, to attain light of Iman, real humility and true acknowledgement of the Will of Allahﷻ, becoming Rabbani, only for Allahﷻ.

Our Holy Prophetﷺ said, “One whose two days are equal is a loser, and the one whose today is worse than his yesterday is accursed …”
Al-Sakhawi (d. 902/1497)

A profitable Muslim is one whose condition today is better than his yesterday. This blessed one has improved in the ‘state-of-self’ as he made effort to draw closer to Allahﷻ today than he did yesterday.

Mankind’s need to progress is fitrah. It is placed by Allahﷻ both physically and spiritually in every person. Without physical growth, a person will not reach to the full capabilities of adulthood and without spiritual growth, one will not reach to the ultimate purpose of life, to be in Servanthood to Allahﷻ.

For a believer, there is no better motivation for self-improvement, than death.

The promise of death encourages one to seek beyond this mortal life, looking ahead to an everlasting life with Allahﷻ. Hence, visiting the graveyard is a Sunnah of our Prophetﷺ and heﷺ said that the wisest amongst people are those who are always in preparation for death. Every action of such a one is a worship and he lives a life in complete obedience to his Lord.

Awareness of death will lead to the awareness of passing time.

Mawlana said that any action irrelevant to help one in death, is useless. Hence, beware of the ‘thief of time’, and for people of today, there is no greater thief of time than the TV & mobile screens we spend hours with. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim named the television, ‘the shaitan box’, for that reason, it robs people of precious time. Unless used for goodness, it is detrimental to our spiritual progress.

A mureed in Tariqah must intently try to improve everyday.

To progress, one must take guidance from a Master who knows that physical maturity is not equal to spiritual maturity. No matter one’s age, as long as there is an atom of pride at heart, then it is not cleansed from idols of shirk khafi, the humongous but discreet association of partners with Allahﷻ.

Everyone is gifted different gifts of beauty, wealth, talent and special abilities from Allah The Most Generous. Mankind however are ungrateful to their Lord, lost in the world of self-worshiping, quick to take credit for the favours bestowed upon them, when in reality, all belongs to Himﷻ, including any good deed and special talent a person might possess.

Tariqah is the blessed ‘School of Smashing Idols’ of self-conceit, arrogance and all statues of self-admiration within one’s heart. With the help of a Spiritual Guide, the crucial breaking of the idol-filled heart begins, through daily trials, to cleanse it from all self-worship, preparing it for 'death before death'. Only when the egoistic-self has died, can a person truly live and reach Servanthood to Allahﷻ.

The Master will cleanse his mureed until he progresses to have only Allahﷻ remaining in Hisﷻ House, the heart of a true believer.

Today, we commemorate the passing of an honourable, senior mureed who in his lifetime served with dedication and true love, three Naqshbandi Grandshyakhs on the Golden Chain. Through his unwavering service to his Masyaikh, Shaykh Adnan Kabbani reached Sainthood and Servanthood to Allahﷻ.

In a Sahih Hadith, Holy Prophetﷺ said:

“Prior to the Last Hour, there would be a time when knowledge would be taken away, and ignorance would take its place and there would be bloodshed on a large scale.”
- Sahih Muslim Book 34, Number 6454

As we go deeper into the darkness of this Second Age of Ignorance, we witness the manifestation of this hadith.

Most of the holy Friends of Allahﷻ are passing on to the next life, taking with them the great Knowledge Ocean they bear, an essential spiritual resource from the endless Oceans of Divine Knowledge. These blessed Saints are slowly being taken by Allah Almighty from the foolish people of these end times, who uphold satanic freedom and godlessness. Living in a flood similar to that of the time of Prophet Nuh Alayhi Salam, this second torrent is one of fire, representing the rampant evil everywhere.

By nature, people are drawn towards the sea and when cut off from these spiritual oceans, mankind will perish in the blazing fire of evil surrounding them.

Hence, those taking the hand of a Guiding Saint in Tariqah, are fortunate ones, embarking on an Ark of Salvation amidst the flood of fire.

People are either following the Holy Prophetﷺ on the Ark of hisﷺ appointed inheritors, or they are being led into the unscrupulous ways of shaytan.

The AwliyaAllah elucidate the Ways of our Prophetﷺ as they have themselves reached to be, as the Prophetﷺ was, a Walking Quran. Heﷺ was ‘khuluqin azeem’, the perfection of moral character and no one can learn immaculate mannerisms just by reading the Quran.

The embodiment of Allah’sﷻ Holy Book was His Belovedﷺ and today, hisﷺ inheritors, the Saints, exemplify through their attributes, character and manners with people, how to become a Living Quran.

Shaykh Adnan through his humility, forbearance and intense love for his Guide, taught aspiring mureeds to keep their focus on Servanthood to Allahﷻ, the foundations of the Naqshbandi Way. He would say, “ask to have every action be upon the intention of your Master and to give the reward of any deed to the safekeeping of RasulAllahﷺ, till the Day of Judgement.”

اِلَهِى اَنْتَ مَقْصُوْدِيْ وَرِضَاكَ مَطْلُوْبِيْ
Ilahi anta maqshudi wa ridhoka mathlubi, ‘Oh my Lord, You are my purpose/destination. And Your Pleasure is what I seek.’

"I wish to please You, until I reach You, oh My Lord."

This is the foundation of Tariqah and the aim of sincere mureeds. Shaykh Adnan reached to this honourable place and showed how one can also reach to Allahﷻ when one builds the spiritual journey upon obedience to one’s Guide, disobedience to the egoistic-self, fervently praying for sincerity in worship and being truly interested to learn and share the knowledge one acquires from oceans of sohbah dispensed by being with a Guide.

Allahﷻ says in the Holy Quran,

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُونَ ٱللَّهَ مَآ أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ

O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded. -Surah At-Tahrim 66: Verse 6.

In the Holy Quran, Allahﷻ Warns the believer to guard himself and his family from eternal destruction.

Mawlanaق emphasised on teaching the young ones to work on guarding themselves from a bad ending in the afterlife as they will spend this life in the dissensions of the end times.

Allahﷻ Forbid, if the children face extreme difficulties in akhirah, even pious parents will be dragged into their difficulties as well. One must remember that the difficulties of the afterlife are unbearable and excruciating, far beyond any earthly struggles imaginable.

Hence, children are gifts and a trust for parents to nurture patiently.

We find a perfect example to follow, in the blessed holy family of our Guide, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adilق.

During Hajjah Aminah’sق Urs recently, Mawlanaق spoke about his beloved mother’s excellence in service to her children, her Shaykh and the Tariqah, that earned her to be amongst The Forty Great Saints of Shams. She was a mureed to The Seal of the Saints, Mawlana Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Daghestaniق, wife of Sultan-ul-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق and mother to the current Grandshaykh of the Naqshbandi Aliyyah Golden Chain, Sultan-ul-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Muhammadق.

A pious mother is a quality school for her children and heaven lies under her feet.

Hajjah Aminahق was such a mother, always in khidmat, raising her children in a nurturing home, like a warm greenhouse in winter, alive with awareness of the Absolute Oneness of Allahﷻ, while teaching them the decaying coldness of the outside world, rotting in the death of unbelief, forgetting the Lord Almighty.

To achieve this, practical Islam was based on the love for Holy Prophetﷺ and this love was the heart of her blessed household.

Our Holy Prophetﷺ said in a sahih hadith, “teach your children three things;

1. Love for your Prophetﷺ,

2. Love for hisﷺ Family (ahlul bayt),

3. proper Quran recital,

For indeed the bearers of the Quran will be under the shade of Allah’s [throne] with the Prophets and chosen ones, on a day in which there will be no other shade.”

- Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 311, and As-Sirajul Minur, vol.1 pg.75

Inculcating love for the Prophetﷺ and hisﷺ Sunnah comes before Quran recitation as the love for himﷺ leads to the love of the Holy Quran, eventually leading the children to be as heﷺ was, a Walking Quran.

A good way to remind the children of this love is to remember the symbol of Islam. ☪️

The crescent is an ark of safety in the sea of calamity, a Way to Salvation, guided by a star, an Ahlul Bayt who is guiding the divinely appoint Captain of the vessel and his passengers to safety.

Excellent nurturance of children today will determine an outcome of their safety here and hereafter, InSha’Allah.

Mawlana Shah Naqshabandق said, “tariqatuna as-suhbah wal-khayru fil-jam`iyya” – “Our tariqat is association, it is keeping company, sohbah, association, and there is goodness in the gathering.” Without association, without advice, there is no way to benefit.

The value of every sohbah is like a brick used in constructing a home. For a mureed, it is the foundation of the ‘House of God’ that he yearns to build in his heart. It is built earnestly in faith and in hope, of the sweetest gift of all, to be ‘Rabbani’, in Eternity, only for Allahﷻ.

Holy Prophetﷺ, said, “Allah Almighty Says:

I am as My servant expects of Me and I am with him as he remembers Me.

If he remembers Me in himself, I will remember him in Myself.

If he mentions Me in a gathering, I will mention him in a greater gathering.

When he draws near Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.”

-Hadith Qudsi, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 7405, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2675

Mureeds of this Way gather weekly, worldwide, for Khatam Khwajagan (Zikir of the Masters).

This great gathering originated in the Cave of Thawr with the Holy Prophetﷺ and hisﷺ highest ranking companion, Sayyidina Abu Bakr As-Siddiqر. It is here that one finds the steps on which one climbs closer to the Holy Presence of Allah Almighty, an invaluable gift that Grandshaykhق said, “for those who know the value of Khatam Khwajagan will crawl on ice to reach it.”

Aspiring mureeds who took bay’ah (initiation into the Way) with Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil Ar-Rabbaniق understand the value of hisق blessed Maqam (spiritual station).

Allah’sﷻ Hand is over the Tariqah and over the firm handhold of the divinely appointed Spiritual Master, through the Golden Chain of Masters, guiding sincere followers entrusted to himق towards safety here and for eternity.

It is essential that mureeds are aware of who their Guide is and focus their vision only on him. Looking elsewhere for guidance is likened to an unfaithful wife searching for intimacy from someone other than her husband. It is destructive to pledge allegiance to someone and look for what that one person can perfectly provide, in someone else.

A Waliyan Murshida is sent to people to remind them of their real value. It is in the nature of Man to forget his purpose and hence, Allahﷻ Sends Guides to remind people to strive for what is valuable to Himﷻ.

To a sincere mureed, Mawlanaق is the appointed 41st Grandshaykh of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain and hisق guidance and advice is all one needs to progress safely here and hereafter, insha’Allah.

Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق sings a wonderful, hopeful song, “Dom, dom, dom dom, Eternity, Eternity. O’ Mankind of Eternity. Leave everything and sing with me. Eternity, Eternity.”

When one accepts the reminder that we are not created to be on earth forever, then will one seek to prepare for an Eternity with Allahﷻ.

Realise the real value of having a living Murshid who is sent to teach us the exquisite and personal message of the Holy Quran, revealed for every single person in humankind, a heart purified to become the ‘House of Allahﷻ’, being in service to the community, giving in charity and even the precious value of every difficulty Allahﷻ Sends our way.

We are created to be eternally with Allahﷻ. Yet so many are unaware and spend this life aimlessly and heedlessly, not seeking to become Hisﷻ servant.

Come to Eternity! Take the advice of the Saintly Guide sent to guide you there.

“You are what you eat.” “Food is medicine.” “Your body is a temple.” Commonly propagated, these are some of the many slogans used to bring public awareness on the importance of physical health and good quality food consumption.

Food awareness and healthy eating however, is nothing new for a believer. It is a Sunnah of our Beloved Prophetﷺ, a message heﷺ delivered and exemplified perfectly over 1400 years ago.

Heﷺ said, “The son of Adam cannot fill a vessel worse than his stomach, as it is enough for him to take a few bites to straighten his back.”- Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2380

“Verily, the first organ the human being rots is his stomach. Whoever can eat nothing but wholesome food, let him do so...”- Sahih al-Bukhārī 7152

Mawlanaق said in hisق recent Sohbah,

“Eat from what is clean and good. And then make shukr to Allahﷻ so that Allahﷻ increases these things. A Muslim, a believer should look at what he is eating and drinking, what he is giving and taking. It should be good.”

Mankind is living in an age of massive food production like never before. Food today is readily available and mostly just an ‘app’ away.

This multi-billion dollar industry that fills modern supermarkets and eateries with convenient global cuisines, is also the cause for many adults to be stricken with early onsets of severe diseases.

Food biotechnology and genetic modification began close to a century ago with a speciality in infiltrating the wholesome natural process of food production, harming the consumer. It opposes natural, healing ways of growing food, all in the name of greed.

Believers must be aware of such attacks on food and be cautious when selecting food to eat. Although GMO foods are such an embedded part of our food system these days, taking time to look beyond a mere ‘Halal’ sign to satisfy a craving is crucial for our wellbeing, both physically and spiritually.

A wise old man once said in his Saintly advice about bodily health, “All these tasty food and drink of today brings only a few seconds of nikmah (blessings of satisfaction) from the tongue to the throat. Beyond this point, it brings a lifetime of azab (torment) to the entire body.”

A whole life of suffering brought by a few seconds of obedience to the ego.

The physical and spiritual impurities in food preparation today is draining believers from goodness. In reality, eating and drinking has only one purpose, serving the body for worship. Thousands of blessed angels are on duty to help ensure every morsel is used to nourish the body for worship, expelling all dirtiness as waste.

When we choose to simply eat these ‘poisonous foods’ to satisfy the ego, the toxic waste produced accumulates and damages not just our physical health, but more worryingly, the spiritual heart, turning one listless from the remembrance of Allahﷻ .

Anyone would prefer to have a healthy, active life in comparison to one bounded by illness. What more for a Muslim who understands that having a healthy life in service and worship to Allahﷻ is invaluable.

Hence, we must take steps to properly care and protect our bodies from eating impure, convenient foods that only serve the taste-buds and nothing else beyond it.

Instead, eat clean, find the freshest and most natural foods possible, prepared in a clean environment with the hands of a believer in wu’dhu, reciting zikrullah and salawat. Most importantly, be focused and present with the blessings of food on the table. Make du’a for it to be a means of healing for the body and soul. Take every morsel with ‘bismillah’ and swallow with ‘alhamdulillah’, being aware of a time to come when there will be no more allotted worldly provisions left for us to consume.

May Allahﷻ Grant us this awareness and make all our food, drink and the air we breathe, be a means of protection from severe illnesses, giving us a long and healthy life in service and worship to our Bountiful Allah Almighty.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/47316934Thu, 04 Nov 2021 17:05:49 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem “You are what you eat.” “Food is medicine.” “Your body is a temple.” Commonly propagated, these are some of the many slogans used to bring public awareness on the importance of physical health and good quality food...

It is said that ‘beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder’. A common saying used to describe the different quality of attractiveness measured by the experiences and lifestyle of the person looking.

In the Holy Quran, we find The Beholder of Beauty, Allah Almighty Himself, describing Hisﷻ Belovedﷺ as ‘khuluqin a’zeem’.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيْمٍ

'And indeed, you are surely [a man] of great moral character.’ - Surah Al Qalam 68: Verse 4.

The Lord Most High Himselfﷻ Gave RasulAllahﷺ the exclusive title of ‘The Greatest Moral Character’ and Celebrates Hisﷻ Love for Holy Prophetﷺ with this highest Honour. Yet sadly, many Muslims today have forgotten authentic traditions and are misled to leave the Ways of The Belovedﷺ, the one with the Highest Adab (mannerism), emptying their hearts from The Heartbeat of Islamﷺ.

Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق said, ‘the one with the Highest Adab for Allah is always happy with everything that comes to him. That is the highest point of respect and belief, because that one knows that everything is from Allah.

Nothing comes from anyone except Allah.

He Controls everything. The highest Adab is to know, accept and be happy with everything.

Because everything is Perfect. It cannot be other than Perfect. Even in its imperfection it is Perfect. That is the highest point and the most difficult to reach.’

Our Holy Prophetﷺ, despite being tested with the most difficulties, was the Pinnacle of Adab. Heﷺ was always happy with Allahﷻ, not once bitter with Hisﷻ Will and Choices.

This is the heaviest deed on the Scales of Judgement Day and the benchmark for any aspiring mureed to measure ‘progress in this Way’ is through it. When one sees only beauty, no more grumbling or anger in any situation, then is it safe to say there has been progress from leaving bad characteristics and having them replaced with the noble characters of The Belovedﷺ.

Shaykh Bahauddin Adil explains it beautifully in his ‘Coffee Talk’ Sohbahs, he said, “What I am trying to say is that under every circumstance, we have to try to find some Happiness.

Even if we are in a terrible situation, never turn towards your Lordﷻ in an unhappy and ungrateful state.

This is the True Meaning of devoting oneself to Him Almighty. If we say that we are believers, we have to prove it. And the best way of proving it is by staying happy, whatever happens. A believer should always be Happy!”

Shaitan insinuates many doubts to leave people hopeless, making them despondent with Allah’sﷻ Will.

Mureeds must strive to reject such whispers and slowly progress until there is absolutely no doubt to the good in every Divine Will, having Certainty that whatever Allahﷻ Chooses is always better than what we ask for.

RasulAllahﷺ taught hisﷺ daughter, Sayyidatina Fatima RadiAllahu Anhu this powerful do’a, a do’a that heﷺ said to not let a morning or evening pass without reciting it.

In this do’a we find the most beautiful Adab of asking for every thought and action to be dealt with Hisﷻ Divine Choice, holding only onto Hisﷻ Rope of Guidance and not of the egoistic lower self. It is not befitting for a believer to be depressed and disappointed in the Will of his Lord, so be truly happy in every circumstance.

May Allah make us to be as our Prophetﷺ was, sincerely happy with real positivity and may it bring us a happy ending and make death the happiest time for us, an eternal reunion with our Most Loving, Kind and Gentle Creator.

Once, Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق visited Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus and beheld a profound example of having a light source in darkness.

Mawlanaق, teaching us to take lessons in everything, was watching a christian priest ushering the members of the parish, holding in his hand a lit candle. As the people approached the priest before entering the church, he lit their candles with the candle he held. One single candle, lighting hundreds of other candles as they approached him.

Like the hundreds of unlit candles, most of mankind live in complete darkness, unable to see the reality and purpose of life in these times of seemingly endless tyranny and oppression (dzhulum).

Mureeds in the Naqshbandi Aliyyah Way are blessed ones who have that single lit candle, our Murshid, igniting our candles, guiding us through these times of darkness and giving us light.

As we travel about in daily life, we too then become a source of light for those still in darkness. However, beware that the flames on the wicker can burn out.

Constant istighfar (repentance), beseeching in Allahﷻ for steadfastness and progress in this Way, is the means for one to keep the flames alive.

In these end times, it is said that many believers will fall in and out of belief within hours of the same day. They plunge into the traps of the ego and shaitan, tricking them into doing bad deeds, extinguishing the light they carried.

There are only a handful of truly Lighted Ones. Hence, we must strive to keep the Light Mawlanaق ignited in us with understanding the Reality of Life.

‘Allahu Haqq’, ‘Allah is Reality’ is written in the middle of the Naqshbandi Taweez. Muslims today try hard to understand the Reality of God with the limited Mind and deny the unlimited realm of the Heart, the only place that can become a Divine Sanctuary of The Lord, to perceive this holy knowledge.

As the mind has limitations, such people then become blind to Reality and enter into darkness, misleading themselves and others into ‘extremism’, disrespect for authentic teachings of Islam and develop a fake sense of humility.

True humility and the understanding of Reality however does not come in an instance, but through the University of Life.

When on campus, one takes lessons from the experienced Professors and learns how to progress. Similarly, all that a person experiences in daily life are indeed lessons to perfect the vision of Reality, to understand what is beyond all of creation.

Our Benevolent Lord, Almighty Allahﷻ, is the Reality in all matters.

‘HasbunAllah’, ‘You Are enough for me [O’ Allah].’ This is the reality that is being slowly taught to each of us every day, through the experiential Lessons of Life.

Everything that happened, is happening and will happen, is in reality already written by Allah’sﷻ Almighty Pen and The Ink has dried. Having absolute Faith, ‘Ya’tiyakal Yaqin’, is the goal.

وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ

‘And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty.’ - Surah Al-Hijr : Verse 99


The certainty of life is death and to understand certainty before death arrives, one must persevere, remain calm and patient in every adversity knowing that in reality, everything we own, our provisions, life and death is in the Loving Hands of Allahﷻ.

We strive to work for our livelihood but our hearts must remain at peace no matter the circumstance.

“... O son of Adam do not fear tightened sustenance. As long as My Storehouses are full, and My Storehouses are never empty.

O son of Adam I created you to worship Me, so don’t play. I have already set your share of sustenance, so don’t make yourself tired [with worrying about your provisions].

O son of Adam, I created the seven heavens and earth effortlessly, so would it trouble Me to simply send a loaf of bread your way?

O son of Adam, do not ask Me of tomorrow’s sustenance, just like I have not asked you for tomorrow’s deeds.

O son of Adam, I love you. So by my right over you, love me.” - Hadith Qudsi

The certainty of life is death and to understand certainty before death arrives, one must persevere, remain calm and patient in every adversity knowing that in reality, everything we own, our provisions, life and death is in the Loving Hands of Allahﷻ.

We strive to work for our livelihood but our hearts must remain at peace no matter the circumstance.

“... O son of Adam do not fear tightened sustenance. As long as My Storehouses are full, and My Storehouses are never empty.

O son of Adam I created you to worship Me, so don’t play. I have already set your share of sustenance, so don’t make yourself tired [with worrying about your provisions].

In the Naqshbandi daily Awrad, we recite the following do’a,

اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّار

O’ Allah, Save us from the Fire.

Like the do’a of Sayyidina Dawud Alayhi Salam, “ O Allah, Grant me Your love and the love of those who love You and the deeds that will bring me to Your Love,” (Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3490), we recite it to ask for Safety and Acceptance of Allah Almighty. However, GrandShaykhق dislikes that mureeds should only pay lip service to the do’a without doing any deeds to attain it.

In order for one to reach the Divine Pleasure of Allahﷻ, one must go on a process that requires great effort, sacrifice and commitment, a Tariqah (Way), sitting by the feet of a beloved Friend of Allah who can guide one to perform endless openings of good deeds that will eventually lead to Allah’sﷻ Love.

The Naqshbandi Aliyyah Way is guidance through Sohbah, the exact way Prophetﷺ spread hisﷺ Message to the Sahabah (companions).

With every Sohbah, Allahﷻ Opens endless doors for one to improve one’s character and guidance is planted in the hearts of those listening with sincerity to be drawn towards service for the Ummah of The Belovedﷺ. Grassroot support is most important, where one lives a life bringing benefit to others and not just to one’s self.

Work hard and strive to perform good deeds as every action of a sincere believer is valued as an ‘ibadah (worshipping). Never underestimate the value of even the littlest good deed, like giving water to a fly, when the intention is solely for the Love and Pleasure of Allahﷻ and His Belovedﷺ.

Aspiring mureeds must not be lazy to work and do good deeds, hoping only for a miracle to descend upon them. Although Allahﷻ has shown the rare miracle that did occur in high ranking Saints before, most people need to strive and work hard to attain the Pleasure of Allah Almighty.

Strive to avoid even the smallest of bad deeds, like lying in a joke and keep busy with the endless possibilities of good deeds mentioned in the Sunnah. When death arrives, we will finally find rest from the toils, trials and difficulties of this dunya.

May Allah Grant us the gift of performing good deeds and the ability to perform them for the sake of His Belovedﷺ and for Hisﷻ Pleasure alone.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/47144936Mon, 25 Oct 2021 14:38:58 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem In the Naqshbandi daily Awrad, we recite the following do’a, اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّار O’ Allah, Save us from the Fire.

Seven days after the Sacred Birth of our Holy Prophetﷺ, heﷺ was made known by the noble elders of Banu Quraish to be named Muhammadﷺ.

Hisﷺ blessed name was mentioned in all earlier scriptures as the Seal of Prophets, and the People of The Books were anxiously anticipating hisﷺ arrival. They were naming their sons, ‘The Chosen One’ or ‘The Praiseworthy One’, in hope that this noble Final Prophet would be honoured to their lineage.

When they later learned that the Holy Birth of the Final Messenger of Allahﷺ was divinely given to an Arabian orphan, envy, hatred and jealousy darkened their hearts. In retaliation to this Divine Choice, they refused to accept himﷺ and the Safety heﷺ brought. How unfortunate for them.

For those who accepted Sayyidina Muhammadﷺ completely as their Most Honoured, Divinely Chosen Master, glad tidings to them. Till today, Muslims follow himﷺ and his Ways (sunnah) right from birth.

Safety is only in Islam. Safety is in following the Sunnah of Prophetﷺ and hisﷺ Saintly inheritors.

Prophetic inheritors live to be as the Holy Prophetﷺ was, never abandoning any one of hisﷺ Sunnah, taking hisﷺ every action as a duty and a Commandment of Allahﷻ. Therefore, wise ones follow in the Ways of Saintly Guides who inherited the Safety of the Holy Prophet’sﷺ Message.

Shaykh Adnan Kabbaniق was a fine example of one who followed diligently and studied under the feet of Saintly Prophetic Inheritors (Waliyan Murshida). He passed on to be with his beloved Guides on the eve of the Holy Naming of Prophetﷺ and left behind a spiritual legacy for mureeds to follow, in order to remain steadfast and progress in this Way.

During the time of Jahiliyatul ‘Ula, the First Period of Ignorance, people were astray from submission to The One God but their lives were centralised around godliness.

Today we are living far below such foolishness, in the Second Period of Ignorance, Jahiliyah Al-thani. Mawlanaق said that this second wave of ignorance is worse than the first as people's lives are centralised around secularism, denying and defying all divine authority. Belief is at its weakest and is fraying with every passing day.

Most Muslims today take religious advice loosely off the internet and have neither deep knowledge nor do they receive any spiritual guidance from a divinely appointed Guide on Islam.

This trend gave birth to the disease of self-interpreted Islam and dangerous teachings of ‘extremism’ rampant on social media, brewing hatred for others and attacking authentic Islamic practices as bid’ah (innovation). One such common attack is on celebrating the Sacred Birth of our Holy Prophetﷺ.

Muslims must be aware of how some so-called Muslims originating from Arabia known as the Salafis and Wahhabis, have worked hard to divorce love for Holy Prophetﷺ from Islam. They have tried to remove Islam from its Heart and Soul, discrediting The Beloved of Allahﷺ from hisﷺ divinely given authority.

In the Holy Quran, Allahﷻ Warns the believers of their shameless efforts and speaks subtly, in the highest level of respect for the Holy Prophetﷺ. Hence, it is of great benefit for students in Tariqah to also become a student of Quranic Arabic to better understand true Islamic teachings.

It takes the understanding of just three Quranic verses quoted below, to help cure the disease of doubt a believer might have on the love and reverence one must adopt for the Beloved Prophetﷺ.

Surah Al-Isra 17: Verse 23,

۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـٰنًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ ٱلْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَّهُمَآ أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيْماً

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

Surah Al-Hujurat 49: Verse 2-3,

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَرْفَعُوٓا۟ أَصْوَٰتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوْا۟ لَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَنْ تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُوْنَ

O you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet or be loud to him in speech like the loudness of some of you to others, lest your deeds become worthless while you perceive not.

إِنَّ اَلَّذِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْنَ أَصْوَٰتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ ٱللَّهِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِيْنَ ٱمْتَحَنَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوْبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّأَجْرٌ عَظِيْمٌ

Indeed, those who lower their voices in the presence of Allah’s Messenger are the ones whose hearts Allah has refined for righteousness. They will have forgiveness and a great reward.

Mawlanaق explained that the three verses quoted above clearly conveys that even for the least of all disrespectful behaviour, like expressing the smallest displeasure to one’s parents by saying a mere ‘uff’ to them, will incur the believer a great punishment of having all their deeds be made worthless in the Sight of Allahﷻ, when the Prophetﷺ is addressed in a similar way.

What more for those who preach to ridicule and prevent others from loving and respecting himﷺ.

Allahﷻ gives glad tidings to believers who ‘do not raise their voices above the voice of the Prophetﷺ’, meaning to accept his authority and show the highest of respect for himﷺ, and they will attain the honourable rank to become People of Taqwa and ultimately, be granted the Pleasure of Allahﷻ.

It is worth noting how Allahﷻ is specifically warning the believers in Surah Al-Hujurat, verses 2 to 3, and not addressing all people or the disbelievers who deny Allahﷻ and His Messengerﷺ.

Shaykh Nazimق said that in reality, Rasulullahﷺ is not in need of our respect and salutations (salawat) to himﷺ. Heﷺ is Saluted and bestowed the Highest of Reverence by Allah Almighty Himself.

However, we are in need of Prophet’sﷺ intercession in the afterlife’s Day of Reckoning and salawat is the means for us to be granted healing, cure and help in this life too.

Mawlanaق said that salawat is better than asking for forgiveness (istighfar) because with each salawat, Allah Almighty Himself sends 100 to 700 times more salawat upon the person. What can be better than The Lord Most High sending salutations to you, in honour of your love for His Belovedﷺ.

Salawat is the beginning and end of everything. Every supplication is accepted when it begins and ends with Salawat upon the Most Beloved of Allah ﷺ.

May Allahﷻ grant our hearts to be clear of doubts about the High Status of our Prophet ﷺ and may we and our progeny be raised as the People of Sollu ‘alan Nabi, to be with himﷺ for Eternity.

Sayyidina Adam Alayhi Salam knew that this blessed name written next to Allahﷻ on every heavenly leaf must be Hisﷻ Beloved and therefore asked to be interceded through the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ name.

‘La Ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasullallah’, is written in the heavens and for those who understand the beauty of Quranic Arabic, it is grammatically incorrect and the word ‘و’/‘and’, must be inserted to correct it.

Therefore, it would be grammatically correct for the Shahadah to be, ‘La Ilaha illallah Wa Muhammadur Rasullallah’, ‘There is no God except God And Muhammad is His Messenger’ but, by the Wisdom of Allahﷻ, this is not the case.

By studying the absence of the word ‘و’/‘and’, we find the secret to the absolute intimacy and unique highness Allah Almighty Himself bestowed upon Prophetﷺ. It is as if for one to discover that there is no barrier, not even by a grammatical ruling, between Rasulullahﷺ and his Lord Most High.

Mawlanaق said,

“Holy Prophet’s ﷺ beautiful manners and character are given by Allāh.

‎“أدبني ربي فأحسن تأديبي”,

“Addabanī Rabbī fa-aḥsana ta'dībi”, “My Lord perfected my good manners.” He ﷺ says, “Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taught me Adab”.

Allah ﷻ taught him the best.

People need a good example. And that is our Holy Prophet ﷺ.”

Hisﷺ exclusive rank in the Sight of Allah ﷻ was envied by the one with the worst behaviour, Iblis alayhi laqnat. The devil made it his life's mission, to see that mankind will heed his treacherous advice, follow his ways and suffer like he will.

As this life is one of tests and trials, many fail to realise that the difficulties they face are indeed life lessons to progress towards attaining a perfectly sound heart- Qalbun Saleem and ultimately, the Pleasure of Allahﷻ.

“Indeed amazing are the affairs of a believer! They are all for his benefit. If he is granted ease of living he is thankful and this is best for him. And if he is afflicted with hardship, he perseveres [with patience]; and this is best for him.” (Sahih Muslim)

Life’s sufferings are greatly rewarded for a believer who follows the Adab of our Holy Prophetﷺ and reject any vile satanic advice when dealing with hardship.

“The amount of reward is in accordance with the amount of suffering. When Allah loves some people, He tries them (with affliction). He who then is content (with Allah’s decree) has achieved the Acceptance (of Allah), and he who is dissatisfied (with Allah’s decree) will attain the Anger (of Allah).” (At-Tirmidhi)

There is no one who suffered more than our Holy Prophetﷺ and his sufferings are indeed lessons of refinement in mannerism from Allah Almighty Himself.

“Everything he ﷺ did was perfect. The best, the rightest, the most beautiful in everything was done by our Holy Prophet ﷺ.” -Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil Ar-Rabbani

No one can do what our Holy Prophetﷺ did. No one can carry the sufferings heﷺ did and for this, in himﷺ, we will find Uswatun Hasana, the most perfect example to follow.

Hence, wise ones remain patient in adversity, are sincerely thankful to be from the Nation of The Belovedﷺ, striving to learn and emulate hisﷺ blessed life and become as heﷺ was, The Walking Quranﷺ.

Once the noble wife of The Belovedﷺ, Sayyidatina ‘Aisha RadiAllahu Ta’ala anha was asked, “O mother of the believers, tell me about the nature of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” Sayyidatina ‘Aisha said, “Have you not read the Quran?” The sahaba replied, “Of course.” Then she continued, “Verily, the nature of the Prophet of Allah was the Quran.” (Sahih Muslim 746)

The character of the Holy Prophetﷺ was summarised by hisﷺ wifeر to be the embodiment of the Holy Word of God. Heﷺ was The Walking Quran.

Sayyidina Ali RadiAllahu anhu said, "All secrets of Allah are in Divine Books [the Torah, the Injil, the Zabur, and the Scrolls of Ibrahim]; and the contents of all those Divine Books are found in the Quran; and what is found in the Quran is condensed in Surah Al-Fatihah, and what is in Al-Fatihah is gathered in Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem..”

Most Muslims are taught from childhood to begin everything with ‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem’, In the Name of Allah The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

This oft-uttered phrase amongst Muslims is in reality, our Holy Prophetﷺ. He is the embodiment of ‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim’, and for those who understand the heavenly language of Quranic Arabic,

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ,

‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem’ is linguistically an incomplete, open-ended sentence.

It becomes complete when an action follows it, and what deed can be better than emulating the perfect ways of The Walking Quranﷺ. It is the secret to all adab, the refinement of mannerisms and cannot follow with something displeasing to Allahﷻ.

The journey that follows ‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem’ is in following the Ways of our Holy Prophetﷺ. Heﷺ is the bridge to complete all deeds to perfection and the only doorway to attain the Pleasure of Allah Almighty.


قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If you ˹sincerely˺ love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Surah Al-Imran 3: Verse 31)

A mureed must desire to follow the Walking Quranﷺ to perfection by obeying and following the advice of the Murshid. There must be a longing to seek closeness to Allahﷻ through this golden chain of spiritual connection.

Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق said, “Endless longing is what sets Man apart from other creatures. Other creatures have not been given the spiritual power of mankind. Their desires are confined to the realities of their bodily needs. But Man, endless longing comes from the eternal and limitless spirit within him, the Power which his Creator has endowed him that he may attain knowledge of Allah Almighty.”

Allahﷻ explains the honour given to mankind in the Holy Quran,

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ وَحَمَلْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا

And We have certainly honoured the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference. (Surah Al-Isra 17: Verse 70)

Hajjah Aminah Adilق wrote in her book, Muhammadﷺ, that when Sayyidina Adam Alayhi Salam was heavily burdened by the guilt of ‘original sin’, he beseeched Allah Most Forgiving to pardon him by pleading, “for the sake of Muhammadﷺ, forgive me”.

Sayyidina Adam Alayhi Salam knew that this blessed name written next to Allahﷻ on every heavenly leaf must be Hisﷻ Beloved and therefore asked to be interceded through the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ name.

‘La Ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasullallah’, is written in the heavens and for those who understand the beauty of Quranic Arabic, it is grammatically incorrect and the word ‘و’/‘and’, must be inserted to correct it.

Therefore, it would be grammatically correct for the Shahadah to be, ‘La Ilaha illallah Wa Muhammadur Rasullallah’, ‘There is no God except God And Muhammad is His Messenger’ but, by the Wisdom of Allahﷻ, this is not the case.

By studying the absence of the word ‘و’/‘and’, we find the secret to the absolute intimacy and unique highness Allah Almighty Himself bestowed upon Prophetﷺ. It is as if for one to discover that there is no barrier, not even by a grammatical ruling, between Rasulullahﷺ and his Lord Most High.

Mawlanaق said,

“Holy Prophet’s ﷺ beautiful manners and character are given by Allāh.

“أدبني ربي فأحسن تأديبي”,

“Addabanī Rabbī fa-aḥsana ta'dībi”, “My Lord perfected my good manners.” He ﷺ says, “Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taught me Adab”.

Allah ﷻ taught him the best.

People need a good example. And that is our Holy Prophet ﷺ.”

Hisﷺ exclusive rank in the Sight of Allah ﷻ was envied by the one with the worst behaviour, Iblis alayhi laqnat. The devil made it his life's mission, to see that mankind will heed his treacherous advice, follow his ways and suffer like he will.

As this life is one of tests and trials, many fail to realise that the difficulties they face are indeed life lessons to progress towards attaining a perfectly sound heart- Qalbun Saleem and ultimately, the Pleasure of Allahﷻ.

“Indeed amazing are the affairs of a believer! They are all for his benefit. If he is granted ease of living he is thankful and this is best for him. And if he is afflicted with hardship, he perseveres [with patience]; and this is best for him.” (Sahih Muslim)

Life’s sufferings are greatly rewarded for a believer who follows the Adab of our Holy Prophetﷺ and reject any vile satanic advice when dealing with hardship.

“The amount of reward is in accordance with the amount of suffering. When Allah loves some people, He tries them (with affliction). He who then is content (with Allah’s decree) has achieved the Acceptance (of Allah), and he who is dissatisfied (with Allah’s decree) will attain the Anger (of Allah).” (At-Tirmidhi)

There is no one who suffered more than our Holy Prophetﷺ and his sufferings are indeed lessons of refinement in mannerism from Allah Almighty Himself.

“Everything he ﷺ did was perfect. The best, the rightest, the most beautiful in everything was done by our Holy Prophet ﷺ.” -Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil Ar-Rabbani

No one can do what our Holy Prophetﷺ did. No one can carry the sufferings heﷺ did and for this, in himﷺ, we will find Uswatun Hasana, the most perfect example to follow.

Hence, wise ones remain patient in adversity, are sincerely thankful to be from the Nation of The Belovedﷺ, striving to learn and emulate hisﷺ blessed life and become as heﷺ was, The Walking Quranﷺ.

May Allahﷻ grant our hearts to be filled only with sincere love for Rasulullahﷺ and to be in the company of The Belovedﷺ for eternity.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/47023736Mon, 18 Oct 2021 04:39:54 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Once the noble wife of The Belovedﷺ, Sayyidatina ‘Aisha RadiAllahu Ta’ala anha was asked, “O mother of the believers, tell me about the nature of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” Sayyidatina ‘Aisha...
Once the noble wife of The Belovedﷺ, Sayyidatina ‘Aisha RadiAllahu Ta’ala anha was asked, “O mother of the believers, tell me about the nature of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” Sayyidatina ‘Aisha said, “Have you not read the Quran?” The sahaba replied, “Of course.” Then she continued, “Verily, the nature of the Prophet of Allah was the Quran.” (Sahih Muslim 746)

The character of the Holy Prophetﷺ was summarised by hisﷺ wifeر to be the embodiment of the Holy Word of God. Heﷺ was The Walking Quran.

Sayyidina Ali RadiAllahu anhu said, "All secrets of Allah are in Divine Books [the Torah, the Injil, the Zabur, and the Scrolls of Ibrahim]; and the contents of all those Divine Books are found in the Quran; and what is found in the Quran is condensed in Surah Al-Fatihah, and what is in Al-Fatihah is gathered in Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem..”

Most Muslims are taught from childhood to begin everything with ‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem’, In the Name of Allah The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

This oft-uttered phrase amongst Muslims is in reality, our Holy Prophetﷺ. He is the embodiment of ‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim’, and for those who understand the heavenly language of Quranic Arabic,

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ,

‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem’ is linguistically an incomplete, open-ended sentence.

It becomes complete when an action follows it, and what deed can be better than emulating the perfect ways of The Walking Quranﷺ. It is the secret to all adab, the refinement of mannerisms and cannot follow with something displeasing to Allahﷻ.

Allahﷻ says in the Holy Quran (Surah Ar-Rahman - 55 : Verse 13),

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

‘So which of the favours of your Lord would you [Mankind and Jinn] deny?’

This verse is repeated thirty-one times in Surah Ar-Rahman as mankind is by nature forgetful, and in need of constant reminders to look for the countless Signs and Favours of Allahﷻ Almighty in life.

People have been working to collect from this seemingly never ending life, tricked, like in a dream. Sayyidina Ali RadiAllahu Anhu said that mankind is in slumber (dreaming), and will awaken when death (reality) arrives.

The sweetness of this dream, paddled by shaitan, has caused Bani Adam to forget about the awakening in the afterlife. Hence, Allahﷻ in His Mercy sent numerous Prophets and Saints to remind people to cross this dreamlike ‘Bridge of Life’ and guide them towards the real destination.

Mawlanaق has reminded us in his recent sohbahs of the brief time we have here on earth. He added that mureeds must hurry to do good deeds in preparation for death and not be tricked by shaitan into thinking that it is difficult to do so.

The difficulties of life on earth is like a cupful of water in comparison to the oceans of suffering in the hereafter. Hence, wise ones will flee to Reality- to Allahﷻ and are happy with Himﷻ.

For a mureed, there is no need to grumble about life and be ungrateful when there are limitless favours of Allah Almighty which we cannot deny. Heﷻ Created us from Hisﷻ Love and Promised Eternal Happiness for those who surrender completely to Hisﷻ Will.

‘And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life]. And your Lord is going to give you so much that you will be satisfied.’ (Surah Ad-Duhaa : Verse 4-5)

Everything in creation is meticulously arranged by Allah's ﷻ Hands, so we should not be ungrateful for Hisﷻ Benevolent Choices. If Heﷻ Decides, then it must be best for us.

In these pressing times we live in, it is easy to only see a small black dot- the problems, on a piece of paper, amidst the vastness- favours, surrounding it.

Be thankful for the honourable gifts of Islam, Iman, being from the progeny of Sayyidina Adam Alayhi Salam, chosen to be from the Nation of The Belovedﷺ of the end times and in the best of Tariqah, Naqshbandi Aliyyah.

Believers, mureeds especially, must be aware of the endless bounties from Allahﷻ. There is no need to be depressed over current conditions. Good or bad to us is in reality the best for us.

Hence, smile in thankfulness, for Allahﷻ Loves a smiling face.

Allahﷻ says in the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Shahr - The Relief, 94 : Verse 5),

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

‘For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease [i.e., relief].’ It is the Promise of Allah Most High that with every difficulty there will come ease.

Thanks be to Allah, for the heavy month of Safar has passed with ease. There were no physical calamities, but have we also passed Safar free from all spiritual calamities?

Spiritual distress is the true calamity that befalls a believer constantly. The difficulties of current worldly affairs have caused the impure state of one’s heart, weakness in one’s faith and the vileness of Ego to surface during the month of Safar.

Mawlanaق is concerned for the state of his mureeds and with the arrival of Blessed Rabi’ul Awal, the month of the Sacred Birth of The Merciful Prophetﷺ, those who seek to relieve themselves from spiritual dirtiness, will find relief Insha’Allah.

Mureeds must now shift their vision towards their internal states and imagine themselves as astronauts on a space mission. They neither belong in space, nor were they created for it. They are placed there temporarily for a short period of time, equipped with spacesuits - the exterior body, while the real person - the soul, is trapped inside and he will discard his spacesuit when he returns homebound, to earth - to Allah Almighty.

Therefore wise ones will focus on what is of value to Allahﷻ, a clean state of one’s internal condition, the heart and soul.

Allahﷻ said to Sayyidina Ibrahim Alayhi Salam that at the Door of Death, those who will safely enter into Eternity are those who present themselves before The Lordﷻ with a pure, golden heart.

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ۬ وَلَا بَنُونَ / إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٍ۬ سَلِيمٍ۬

“The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children, But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.” [Qur’an; 26:88-89].

The heart must therefore be cleansed before Death arrives and once purified, it becomes the Honoured House of Allahﷻ, the supreme gift bestowed only upon Mankind.

“Indeed My earth and My heavens could not contain Me but the soft peaceful heart of My believing servant can.”-Hadeeth Qudsi in Ihya ‘Uloom Al-Deen of Imam Al-Ghazali Vol. 3.

Our Holy Prophetﷺ is the embodiment of the House of Godﷻ and is also The Living Word of God, The Holy Quran.

The Quran is, in the perspective of one who truly understands, a celebration of Allahﷻ Conversing with His Belovedﷺ, and no one can understand the sweetness of The Love without seeking to learn and becoming eloquent in the Heavenly language of Quranic Arabic.

As we are celebrating MawlidurRasulﷺ this month of Rabi’ul Awal, we are also celebrating hisﷺ Message of The Quran in hope to attain spiritual purity and the Pleasure of Allahﷻ.

Hence, focus on cleansing the spiritual heart and relieving the sick soul of internal calamities with sincere repentance, asking for the gift of total submission to Allah’s ﷻ Will, zikrullah, salawat, and Quran recitation, seeking the Pleasure of Allahﷻ and in honour of the Sacred Birth of His Belovedﷺ.

In hisق sohbah Mawlanaق said that this blessed mureed, despite her old age, had travelled to Damascus sincerely seeking guidance from Grandshaykh. Her goal was to become from the fortunate few who experienced true freedom from slavery of the ego. She sought to live her destined duties in life and reach to servanthood in Allah’s ﷻ Pleasure.

After consultation with the Holy Prophetﷺ, Grandshaykhق was instructed to introduce Islam with leniency and gentleness to her and to all new believers. The key is to make it easy to fall in love with Allah’s ﷻ Way. There is no harshness in delivering the message of Islam to newcomers.

The instruction for new Muslims to begin establishing a relationship with Allah (Hablum Minallah) and the Islamic community (Hablum Minannas) were basic. They are to simply practice a daily recitation of 3 Shahadah, prostrate (sujud) once during each prayer time and to keep love in their hearts for the Ummah, overlooking any of their shortcomings.

Shaykh Nazimق said that although the instructions are easier in comparison to the daily litanies and practices a born-Muslim performs, Mawlanaق emphasised that Allahﷻ is only looking to see sincerity in the heart of Hisﷻ servants. For as long as a servant fulfills the trust of Islam given with no self-conceit or self-praise, Allah’s Pleasure awaits.

2️⃣ the secret of the acceptance of appointments/duties given by Allahﷻ to a person, in his sohbah.

The Naqshbandi Way is the only Tariqah with a Spiritual Guide in live connection to the Holy Prophetﷺ. Hence, Mawlana’sق recent instruction to revert back to the original silent Khatam Khwajagan is a crucial milestone for the followers of this blessed Way.

Mawlana’sق appointment as 41st Grandshaykh in the Naqshbandi Golden Chain marked the start of the Time of Sayyidina Mahdi Alayhi Salam. Heق was appointed to navigate hisق mureeds through the turmoils of the end of times, right through the promised days of Paradise on Earth.

All people destined to live those blissful days must be purified to carry nothing but kindness and mercy in their hearts.

Another cleansing and sieving process to extract precious pure-hearted ones has begun. Wise ones who hold firmly onto the ‘three keys of safety’ with Mawlanaق will Insha’Allah see themselves cleansed of all hidden vile characters, to become clean-hearted, sincere ones holding on to the Rope of Allahﷻ to witness Paradise on Earth.

It is said that the worst students are usually given the best teachers.

Followers of this Way are lucky ones given the greatest gift of guidance through a living Waliyan Murshida (Saintly Guide), in the most perplexing times in history.

Many are taking this gift of Guidance lightly.
The prophetic inheritors are Friends of Allah who with every breath are in remembrance of Himﷻ. They have been trained to attain inner peace and become a living Doorway to Allahﷻ.

Hence, through a strong spiritual heart connection (rabitah) with Mawlanaق, the mureed is taught to be always in the sweetness of the Divine Presence of Allahﷻ. Mureeds will be trained to overcome all bitterness in life and be cured from their afflictions with a heart in complete surrender to Himﷻ.

Sayyidina Isa Alayhi Salam said that this life is like a bridge used for crossing, so do not spend precious time building on the bridge, but rather work to cross it and go to your destination.

The Naqshbandi Way is the only Tariqah with a Spiritual Guide in live connection to the Holy Prophetﷺ. Hence, Mawlana’sق recent instruction to revert back to the original silent Khatam Khwajagan is a crucial milestone for the followers of this blessed Way.

Mawlana’sق appointment as 41st Grandshaykh in the Naqshbandi Golden Chain marked the start of the Time of Sayyidina Mahdi Alayhi Salam. Heق was appointed to navigate hisق mureeds through the turmoils of the end of times, right through the promised days of Paradise on Earth.

All people destined to live those blissful days must be purified to carry nothing but kindness and mercy in their hearts.

Another cleansing and sieving process to extract precious pure-hearted ones has begun. Wise ones who hold firmly onto the ‘three keys of safety’ with Mawlanaق will Insha’Allah see themselves cleansed of all hidden vile characters, to become clean-hearted, sincere ones holding on to the Rope of Allahﷻ to witness Paradise on Earth.

It is said that the worst students are usually given the best teachers.

Followers of this Way are lucky ones given the greatest gift of guidance through a living Waliyan Murshida (Saintly Guide), in the most perplexing times in history.

Many are taking this gift of Guidance lightly.
The prophetic inheritors are Friends of Allah who with every breath are in remembrance of Himﷻ. They have been trained to attain inner peace and become a living Doorway to Allahﷻ.

Hence, through a strong spiritual heart connection (rabitah) with Mawlanaق, the mureed is taught to be always in the sweetness of the Divine Presence of Allahﷻ. Mureeds will be trained to overcome all bitterness in life and be cured from their afflictions with a heart in complete surrender to Himﷻ.

Sayyidina Isa Alayhi Salam said that this life is like a bridge used for crossing, so do not spend precious time building on the bridge, but rather work to cross it and go to your destination.

Investing in the hereafter and trusting that all our wealth, health and time are truly in the Safe Hands of Allah Almighty is most important.

It is encouraged for a believer to be rich and invest in worldly matters but it is most important not to worry about sustenance and keep the hearts in absolute trust in Allahﷻ.

Sayyidina Ali RadiAllahu anhu said that this life is like the sea and people are travellers on it. We journey the Sea of Life and hope the waters carry us safely to our destination.

The waters are essential for travel, yet, we would not want the same waters carrying the vessel entering into the ship to wreck it.

The journey of life is short. It is temporary, like a ‘fata morgana’, a fairy-tale like, believable mirage appearing to offer security, power and comfort, but in reality, it is a misleading illusion that quickly fades away.

One might then ask, what is the purpose of life?

Mawlanaق reminds us that this life is meant for tests and trials, in preparation for an everlasting life to come.

Every suffering and tribulation is precisely placed for each one of us to progress towards a better hereafter.

Those voyaging on the Ship of Tariqah are lucky ones who depend on an appointed sea captain to navigate through the varying waters of life. Allahﷻ has blessed those in tariqah to be with a true Guide who teaches them to understand the purpose of life.

Those who choose to follow the egoistic-self will be in distress when they learn at the time of death, of the ego’s trickery to cause a shipwreck and a doomed final destination.

Very few will reach safety and not everyone on the Ship of Tariqah is safe. Mureeds can still lose their way by disobeying the advice of the Shaykh.

Holy Prophet ﷺ said in a sahih hadeeth, “ad-deenu naseeha” – “Religion is advice.” Religion is not a lecture for a scholar to give and go. It is given through an experienced, appointed Guide in Tariqah - the Heart of Religion.

Sayyidina Shah Naqshbandق said, “tariqatuna as-suhbah wal-khayru fil-jam`iyya” – “Our Way is guidance through advice, and the best is in association.” Without association, without advice, there is no way to benefit.

Therefore, to be in obedience to Allahﷻ is to obey the advice of the Guide. Holding firmly to his handhold means to take his every advice without a doubt that the murshid knows better than his mureeds. His advice must influence and become the centre of our daily life choices.

Mawlanaق has also reminded us to stay in the safety of Allah’s ﷻ Hand over the community. Allah’sﷻ Hand is over those who come together seeking Hisﷻ Pleasure alone. Stay in touch with fellow seekers in this Way and not become that lone sheep who is preyed on by hungry wolves.

Journeying safely through the Sea of Life is to take Mawlana’sق advice, be with the jemaah and consistently perform the daily practices and devotions. We dirty goodness bestowed by Allahﷻ with bad thoughts, assumptions and actions, and the best way to seek purification is through daily istighfar - sincere repentance.

Insha’Allah may those who heed this advice and sincerely seek to attain the Pleasure of Allahﷻ reach Hisﷻ Divine Safety and Pleasure.

Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla states in the Quran (2:180):
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ إِن تَرَكَ خَيْرًا ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
Prescribed for you when death approaches [any] one of you if he leaves wealth [is that he should make] a bequest for the parents and near relatives according to what is acceptable - a duty upon the righteous.

"In taraka khayrani l-waṣiyyah".
Leaving a wasiah, a will, is an important matter. It is a Command of Allahﷻ and sunnah for one to write a will, no matter how much a person has.

Mawlanaق said in his Sohbah that there is no need to look whether you are young or old because a sunnah can be done anytime. You gain its rewards whenever you do it.

A will is not exclusive to tangible possessions of wealth. While Sayyidina Yaqub Alayhis salam was about to die, he wanted to remind his children of God and that they must only submit themselves to Himﷻ. So he asked them: Quran (2:133)
أَمْ كُنتُمْ شُهَدَاءَ إِذْ حَضَرَ يَعْقُوبَ الْمَوْتُ إِذْ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن بَعْدِي قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ إِلَـٰهَكَ وَإِلَـٰهَ آبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ إِلَـٰهًا وَاحِدًا وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ
Were you witnesses when death approached Yaqub, when he said to his children, ‘What will you worship after me?’ They said, ‘We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac, the One God, and to Him do we submit.’

Hence, one should also leave behind good advice, beseeching loved ones to preserve the precious teachings of the Guide and Islamic traditions.

Wealth from earnings is a trust (amanah) to us and are accountable in the hereafter. All halal earnings are answerable and all haram earnings become punishable. Therefore, one should be careful to live working for a halal income and not die without a will.

Leaving a will has many rewards. It makes the procedure after death easier for the deceased believer, family left behind and most importantly, one would be obeying the commandment of Allahﷻ and His Prophetﷺ.

The distribution of a will excludes bloodline inheritors and can only be from one-third of a person’s wealth. Nowadays, people ignorantly leave one-hundred percent of their wealth to others, leaving none for family. Wealth is an asset that rightful inheritors should partake in.

Be of service and leave wealth for the family.

Being affluent is virtuous to a believer who spends money in the Way of Allahﷻ. It is a gift to help Muslims in impoverished lands to keep their faith as the Malay saying goes, ‘Kefakiran lebih kepada kekafiran’, ‘Poverty is closer to apostasy’. Sayyidina Ali RadiAllahu anhu said that if poverty was a person, he would slay him.

Wealthy believers can become strong servants of Allahﷻ who use their fortune to comfort those in need. When obtained in a balanced, Islamic way, it will be honoured with Allah’s ﷻ Love. Hence, gaining knowledge on halal wealth investments and making money is also important in order to attain sadaqah jariyah, bringing blessings and peace upon a person even after death and leaving prosperity for the Ummah and loved ones.

May Allahﷻ grant us to be rich, righteous ones walking the middle path and may we depart from this world leaving a wasiah and strong Iman until we reach the safety of our destination in Divine Presence.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/46445859Thu, 09 Sep 2021 15:32:59 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla states in the Quran (2:180): كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ إِن تَرَكَ خَيْرًا ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ Prescribed...

The world today is nothing like it was before. Advanced technology and rapid access to various portals of information has taken over our daily lives.

Sadly, beyond the many technological advancements, people today live cocooned in a dark atmosphere with much disturbances.

From physical to spiritual dirtiness, people are exposed to genetically modified food, synthetic healthcare products, social media filled with dissenting ideas and in particular the instant access to a billion ‘noisy’ opinions through advanced telecommunication, has left most people seeking Truth, peace and serenity, bewildered. Even Muslims feel perplexed with the rampant misguided teachings of Islam from the internet.

Undetectable sound waves, signals, subliminal messages and evil-eye from envious people are also cause for much unrest in these times.

Hence, a pivoting point, a guiding light is necessary to bring people to safety, giving them clarity on how to carefully progress out of the darkness.

Mureeds who have taken bayat in Tariqah are blessed ones. Mawlana said that real Islam is like a bird soaring upon two wings of Shari’ah and Tariqah. One cannot propel without the other.

However, as no undergraduate would foolishly skip lectures after enrollment and go against orders, the aspiring mureed in Tariqah must put in great effort to keep focused on the destination and listen to the Murshid’s instructions obediently.

Amidst all the evil, hold on to the Rope of Allah ﷻ. The one who is not obedient to Allah ﷻ is unfortunately obedient to his ego.

Mawlana had advised us not to worry about the state of the world. He said that those with true faith know that good or bad, everything is in reality only in Allah’sﷻ Good Hands.

Our focus must be on our purpose. Fill your time with remembrance of Allahﷻ, striving to complete the daily practices and devotions.

If we are practicing and trying, every moment will bring value and uncountable benefits, powering us to push away all the evil and evil-eye that engulf people today. Zikrullah is angelic food. It will be bountiful sustenance for a believer in more pressing times.

Shaykh Baha’uddin Adil wisely said that every driver knows that abiding by traffic signals avoids inflicting danger to the self and others. Similarly, the Guide must be obeyed for his mureeds to be in protection.

Consulting your Murshid in every matter brings you wisdom and gives clarity to your affairs. Therefore, consult him before making any life-changing decision. Duly respect and take him as the Guide Allahﷻ, in Hisﷻ Generosity, has Sent to you to seek guidance from.

Today we are living far below such levels of foolishness, in the second Period of Ignorance, Jahiliyah Al-thani. Mawlana said that this second wave of ignorance is far worst than the first because now, people’s lives are centralised on secularism, denying and defying all divine authority. Belief is at its weakest.

Only fools would trade an eternity of ownership of palaces with unfathomable regal luxuries, for an hour’s worth of owning a dilapidated shack. Sadly, such is the state of most people today, trading eternal life for the depreciating short life on earth.

Allah ﷻ is Offering an eternity of precious, priceless inheritance, but many are forsaking palaces for a temporary run-down shack!

In these days of ignorance, most of mankind no longer understand the value of time they are given, hence, they use it to pursue frivolous activities of no value to Allah ﷻ.

Mawlanaق has advised us to divide the short time we have wisely, planning our day around worship and finding a balance until a regular pattern to the day is formed. Good habits take effort to build.

Having discipline in everything is a virtue of a believer.

Heق said that the very purpose of our existence is to worship. Hence, those who are constantly remembering Allah ﷻ with every breath and heartbeat, are always in worshipping, even though engaged in daily activities of work, school and spending time with others.

We cannot run from death, so wise ones run to Allah ﷻ. (Fafirru ilallah).

Tariqah is training us to convert our depreciating worldly activities into appreciating, valuable work pleasing to Allah ﷻ with the simple act of zikrullah, remembrance of Allah ﷻ, the fuel needed to build on our afterlife.

Only then will we reach the purpose of our existence, to be constantly in worship to Allah ﷻ. How much of a day are we giving to this honourable purpose?

We work eagerly to elevate our worldly status and livelihood but how are we progressing towards Eternity?

Starting with a good intention is key.
Remember that this journey towards tasting sweetness of servanthood to Allah ﷻ comes to those who yearn to be in constant remembrance of Him ﷻ, and not to the lazy.

Mawlana Shah Baha’uddin Naqshbandق, the 17th Naqshbandi GrandShaykh, had 12,000 specialities which he attained through every Mi’raj with Rasulullah ﷺ.

Heق brought the gems of these teachings to hisق followers through Sohbah (companionship). Heق sat with them and sowed into their hearts seeds of progress towards good behaviour, removing any attachments of the dunya and polishing their souls until they see themselves as nothing.

Sayyidina Shah Naqshbandق said, “tariqatuna as-suhbah wal-khayru fil-jam`iyya” – “Our tariqah is association, it is keeping company, Sohbah, association, and there is goodness in the gatherings.” Without association, without advice, there is no way to benefit.

Association with other seekers in this Way is also important for progress as it is said that even if two mureeds gather for the sake of Allah ﷻ and one of them says “Laillaha illallah”, and the other says, “Muhammad-ur Rasulallah ﷺ”, a Sohbah has been transmitted and they would have benefited from that small meeting.

Allah ﷻ Sits with those who remembers Him ﷻ and His ﷻ Divine Hand is over a majlis that was gathered for His ﷻ Sake alone.

A Saintly Guide’s duty is to gather hearts and as mureeds gather, their hearts benefit from the gathering. Stay connected with other fellow seekers for as the saying goes, ‘the lone sheep is hunted by wolves’.

Mawlana Shah Baha’uddin Naqshbandق, the 17th Naqshbandi GrandShaykh, had 12,000 specialities which he attained through every Mi’raj with Rasulullah ﷺ.

Heق brought the gems of these teachings to hisق followers through Sohbah (companionship). Heق sat with them and sowed into their hearts seeds of progress towards good behaviour, removing any attachments of the dunya and polishing their souls until they see themselves as nothing.

Sayyidina Shah Naqshbandق said, “tariqatuna as-suhbah wal-khayru fil-jam`iyya” – “Our tariqah is association, it is keeping company, Sohbah, association, and there is goodness in the gatherings.” Without association, without advice, there is no way to benefit.

The two pillars of this Way is association, companionship with the Murshid (Guide) and companionship with fellow mureeds (fellow seekers).

Allah ﷻ gradually Shows and Opens knowledge of Islam for those chosen to receive the greatest gift called Faith (Iman).

Such one then embarks on a Spiritual hijrah (migration), leaving all badness and kufr (disbelief).

The Holy Prophet ﷺ and his ﷺ closest companion, Sayyidina Abu Bakr As-Siddiqر, made a physical hijrah from Mecca to Madinah as Ordered by Allah.

It was also here on this journey of hijrah, in the cave of Mount Thawr, that the soul of every person chosen to receive guidance from the Golden Chain of Naqshbandi Spiritual Masters were gathered, to perform the first Khatam Khawajagan.

What an incredible honour! A priceless gift.

Only those present in that blessed cave were destined to follow in this Way.

It had been written for them, long before their physical existence. Their souls already had an inclination towards this Way and would somehow find it, in earthly life.

The miracle of life had paved the way towards re-discovering this priceless gift.

The soul now with its earthly body, go on a learning journey, slowly being dressed with knowledge of dunya and progressing towards the inclination to finding a Waliyan Murshida (Spiritual Teacher).

After some time, the sincere student will find an even stronger inclination towards doing more and more goodness. Bit by bit leaving old, undesirable traits solely to seek servanthood in Allah’s ﷻ Pleasure.

The Gift of Tariqah, is worth the world and its contents.

It is only through Tariqah, with a true Guide, will one have the soul polished and the egoistic-self evaporated, to be in complete obedience to Allahﷻ.

Ponder over His ﷻ uncountable Gifts.

Allah ﷻ Wants nothing but goodness for us. He ﷻ Apportions everything with Love, always with our best interest put forward. There is no need to be jealous of others. What we have is perfect for us.

Ask to be granted syukur (true thankfulness) for every gift, from the gift of Guidance to having a healthy functioning body.

Today, we are witnessing strange happenings on a global scale.

People, muslims and non-muslims alike, are losing hope in these increasingly difficult times.

Despite the Signs pointing towards repentance and God-Consciousness, most are still with the egoistic-self, straying further from Truth, while only a small minority are with Allah ﷻ, seeking to attain His ﷻ Pleasure.

The New Hijri Year has arrived and those who had a wonderful year in 1442H were ones with Allah ﷻ, busying themselves towards good behaviour, striving to cleanse undesirable traits.

Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adilق has, in numerous sohbahs, reminded us to remain hopeful and focused on our journey towards Allah ﷻ.

Mawlanaق gave clear solutions to staying safe in these times. Heق said, as the ant in Surah Naml said to her colony, stay home as much as possible and not to find reasons to go out in the midst of fitan (discord).

(Quran 27 : V 18) قَالَتۡ نَمۡلَةٌ يّٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّمۡلُ ادۡخُلُوۡا مَسٰكِنَكُمۡ​ۚ لَا يَحۡطِمَنَّكُمۡ سُلَيۡمٰنُ وَجُنُوۡدُهٗۙ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ‏ ,
And the Ant called out, “Oh Ants, Enter your houses. In case Sulaiman (A.S) and his armies crush you unknowingly, unwittingly, without knowing.”

Keep in the safety of your homes and use this time of seclusion to be in closeness with Our Sustainer, finding happiness in devotions of zikrullah and reciting the Holy Quran.

Mawlanaق also said to seek advice from specialists/experts in any matters (ahli). Stay away from worthless information on social media and activities that take us off the path towards Allah ﷻ.

Be steadfast on the Way of Allah ﷻ. Keep your Trust in Him ﷻ and do not be fooled into hopelessness, thinking falsehood has triumphed over the Perfect Power of Allah ﷻ. Far from it!

In reality, everything happens by His ﷻ Will alone. None can subjugate the Sovereignty of Allah ﷻ.

Blessed are they, in this world and the hereafter, who are with the Shepherds - Saintly Guides who inherit the Ways of Holy Prophetﷺ.

Our Guide, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil Ar-Rabbani (qas), together with all the Grandshaykhs of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, are such ones, divinely granted the Jazbah (immense spiritual power) to guide and keep their (qas) followers on the right path.

Followers in this Way seek to become cleansed from the dirtiness of sin and bad behaviour.

Our Grandshaykh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani (ق) said that, “Mankind’s dirtiness comes from fighting with Allah.”

Fighting. This is the keyword.

For as long as one is still in obedience to the egoistic-self, fighting Allah’s ﷻ Will, one is in disobedience to Allah ﷻ.

After some time through this journey in Tariqah, some give up and fall out of the Way.

Why do people fall out?
Because they feel burdened by the spiritual devotions and practices.

Shaykh Bahauddin said, “Don’t aim so high!”

Do a little and do it every day. Giving ten cents a day is easier than giving a thousand dollars just once, in charity.

The key is istiqomah. To attain a comfortable level of steadfastness in worshipping.

As one would be uncomfortable wearing clothing that does not fit well, so too would one feel uncomfortable when taking on too much of the spiritual dressings, daily devotions and practices, at the beginning.

Start simple, start small and keep going.

It is beloved by Allah ﷻ to See His ﷻ servant doing a little everyday, than doing nothing at all and missing out on the immense benefits of the daily wazifa.

Don’t overburden yourself, give up and then fall into detrimental old ways. Do what is comfortable and maintain a baseline of minimum devotions daily.

Remember that Iblis alayhi laqnat is working to have as many people in the right path fall out and run away from it. Be careful! Ignore the satanic whispers and strive to leave the bad ways and behaviour.

Mawlana also emphasised never to justify our bad actions, intentions or thoughts. Never announce your sins, he said, for fear that we would eventually become shameless about the sins we commit.

Be hopeful and return to your Lord ﷻ in sincere repentance.

“The Happiness of Allah Almighty upon Seeing a sinner repenting is much more than the joy of a lone traveller who finds his missing camel, together with all the provisions of the journey, in a dark night.”
-Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (qas)

Never lose hope in the Mercy of Allah ﷻ as He ﷻ Helps the one who sincerely repents and begs for help every time he/she falls back into sin.

Allah ﷻ Says in the Holy Quran:
اَلَا تُحِبُّوۡنَ اَنۡ يَّغۡفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَـكُمۡ​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ 
“Would you not love for Allah to forgive you? Allah is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(Quran 24:22)

The children of Adam alayhi salam are always in sin and Allah ﷻ Wants for us to be clean ones. So, seek forgiveness from the Ever Forgiving, each night before going to sleep and ask to be granted purity, never fighting His ﷻ Will.

Our Grandshaykh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani (ق) described how a dervish may be acceptable as a servant to Allah Almighty:

“He must have one character from each of three animals,” he said. “From the donkey, he must be able to carry burdens with patience, and without objections. Unless he can do this he will be unsuccessful, for without patience one cannot carry the responsibilities of life.

“From the dog, he must learn faithfulness to his master. If the master tells the dog to stay somewhere until the man returns, that dog will stay, even until death. If the owner beats it and chases it away, the dog will still return, with tail wagging, when its master calls.

“Finally, when a man looks at a pig he must know that his nafs is dirtier and filthier than the pig. The dirt of pigs is external, while the nafs is dirty inside. The nafs’ dirt comes from fighting with his Lord. Pigs’ dirt comes from eating dirty things, not from fighting. Perfect man must have such a character that he will accept whatever dirt is thrown on him, whether by words or actions, knowing that his nafs is dirtier.

“These three characters of animals are for Prophets and Awliya. If a man doesn’t have these characters, he isn’t a Prophet who carries all the burdens of the world, accepts all sorts of abuse, and still keeps total faith in his Lord and patience for all. These are the footsteps upon which we must follow. These characters give man rest and satisfaction in his heart. Only in this way can he reach happiness in this life. Otherwise, he will be unhappy always.”

Excerpt from the book Mercy Oceans (Part 1), By Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al Haqqani an Naqshbandi ق . Source: Naqshbandiindia.com

The fine wisdom of our Masters present beautiful solutions to all our troubles.

Expanding on one lesson Mawlana taught from the sohbah quoted above,

“…when a man looks at a pig he must know that his nafs is dirtier and filthier than the pig.

The dirt of pigs is external, while the nafs is dirty inside.
The nafs’ dirt comes from fighting with his Lord.

Pigs’ dirt comes from eating dirty things, not from fighting.

Perfect man must have such a character that he will accept whatever dirt is thrown on him, whether by words or actions, knowing that his nafs is dirtier.”

Mawlana says that a new mureed begins this spiritual journey beautifully in a state of humility, nothingness and fully aware of his/her hidden dirtiness.

This blessed person sees a disease-strickened-self and is frantically searching to find a cure for the illness.

This, says Mawlana, is the state one must truly be in throughout this Way, until the very end.

No matter how long a person has spend in Tariqah it is not uncommon to ‘fall from Grace’ and be off from this Way.

After some time mureeds might become proud, thinking they have climbed to a better spiritual status than others.

The hundreds of nights leaving their beds for Tahajjud and completing every Wazifa, may cause them to be more filthy than when they first started, due to pride and arrogance.

Sadly, such is the trait of Iblis alayhi laqnat. Despite all his years of worshipping, he thought himself better than Sayyidina Adam alayhi salam.

Don’t be fooled! Remember that all goodness comes from Allah’s ﷻ Generosity and never from ourselves.

Mawlana reminds us, ‘Be as the day you joined this Way.’

Keep looking at the internal diseases of disobedience to Allah ﷻ and be focused on this terrible illness.

As one fears death nearing when a medical test shows a terminal illness, so too should one fear death of the spiritual heart that cannot feel and taste the pleasures of worshipping.

Revive and prepare the heart for its ultimate return to The Owner. At the end, a golden, pure heart is all Allah ﷻ will want to See.

Look at yourself and see everyday tests as an indicator for hidden diseases. The anger, jealousy, envy and all vileness within oneself, will surface from tests during interactions with families, colleagues and the community in daily life.

Be focused on these and transform your life to find cure for the illnesses before death arrives.

Clean and polish the heart with constant istighfar (repentance), zikrullah (remembrance of Allah ﷻ) and salawat (salutations upon Holy Prophetﷺ) in preparation for our return.

“Humankind are always in sin and the best of them are those always in repentance.”- Hadees

Guidance (hidayah) is the greatest gift for anyone to receive. A precious gift of a lifetime, to be in constant contentment and syukur (thankfulness), a journey towards purity.

A believer in Tariqah is even luckier, sailing with ease in a treasure-filled ship, under the expert navigation of a Divinely Appointed Master (Shaykh), passing safely through troubled waters.

The treasures onboard ‘The Tariqah’ are endless beautiful lessons that help one cope with the struggles of life.

Difficult situations are necessary for anyone to progress.

Be it physically or spiritually, one learns and becomes wiser when guided by a Spiritual Master, to extract the valuable teachings through enduring burdensome situations.

Sadly, many lose their minds when faced with challenges and without faith, turn hopeless to Allah ﷻ and life itself.

Depression is, as Mawlana simply puts it, “When you want the opposite of what Allah ﷻ Wants for you.”

Tariqah guides you to taste sweetness in accepting Allah’s ﷻ Decree and doing everything for His ﷻ Sake, only to earn His ﷻ Pleasure.

Believers are always hopeful in Allah ﷻ.
In a Hadees Qudsi Allah ﷻ Says, “I Am as My servant thinks of Me.”

It is only befitting that we think good thoughts of Allah ﷻ.

We have in the story of Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) an exquisite example of having absolute trust in Allah’s ﷻ Plan even when hurled into the blazing fire Nimrod had prepared for what he thought would be Sayyidina Ibrahim’s (as) execution.

The vile King’s intention was for the fire to become a source of great suffering for Sayyidina Ibrahim (as), but Allah ﷻ created a safe sanctuary as ‘far as the eye could see’, amidst the flames, to become a source of Paradise for His ﷻ beloved servant.

The fire here resembles the problems we face today and for those who are hopeful in the Help of Allah ﷻ, He ﷻ Will open a way out of our every difficulty.

Sayyidina Ibrahim’s (as) total hope and trust in the Help of Allah ﷻ turned his seemingly horrific fate into the most phenomenal time of his life.

Everything happens with His ﷻ Wise Permission and He ﷻ is fully Aware of every situation.

وَّيَرۡزُقۡهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَحۡتَسِبُ​ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسۡبُهٗ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَالِغُ اَمۡرِهٖ​ ؕ قَدۡ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدۡرًا‏ 
Quran(65:3).

“ and will provide him sustenance from whence he never even imagined. Whoever puts his trust in Allah, He shall suffice him. Surely Allah brings about what He decrees; Allah has set a measure for everything.”

When Asked, Allah ﷻ never leaves His ﷻ servants empty handed.

Being hopeful with ‘beautiful patience’, sabrun jameel, in adversity, earns one an endless reward, the pleasure of being with Allah ﷻ and seeing Allah’s ﷻ Glorious Face in the eternal hereafter.

Your contentment in Allah’s ﷻ Decree is Allah’s ﷻ Contentment for you.

And Allah's ‎ﷻ Pleasure is Jannah for His ‎ﷻ servant, even whilst in this dunia, just like Ibrahim's (as) sanctuary within the fire.

Think good, do good and Goodness will be with you. Allah ﷻ is not in need of our good deeds, every good or evil act we make is in reality for our own-selves and hence, returns back to us.

Therefore, be busy with Allah ﷻ - in remembrance, pondering upon His ﷻ Favours and doing good deeds- and those He ﷻ Sends as help and guidance to you (following prophetic ways and obeying a true inheritor of Rasulullah ﷺ ).

May Allah ﷻ grant us to always be with the guidance of our Shaykh, in syukur (thankfulness), tawakkal (perfect trust in Allah ﷻ), sabr (patience), du’a (hopeful prayer) and having complete īman that Allah’s Plan is always in our best interest.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/45801197Thu, 22 Jul 2021 15:14:51 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Guidance (hidayah) is the greatest gift for anyone to receive.

The first ten days of Zulhijjah are the holiest of the year, which is why this Khatam is the most valuable one all year, blessed are the ones chosen to attend tonight. And the pinnacle of these ten days is the Hajj, occurring in the holiest of earthly lands.

In these sacred days, occured many events of ongoing importance to the life of a believer. The most profound, being the magnificent story of the sacrifice, the Qurban of Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) of Sayyidina Ismail (as).

This historical event is of symbolic importance, a perfection of Divine Devotion for every believer and mureed in this Way.

“O Ever Living, O Ever Sustaining,

in Your mercy I seek relief,

rectify for me all of my affairs,

and do not leave me to my egoistic-self even for the blink of an eye.”

Rasulullah (ﷺ) taught this beautiful du’a to his (ﷺ) daughter. It serves as a daily protection and a reminder for us to never fall for the cunning whispers of our internal enemy.

And our life in this dunia, is indeed only a blink of an eye, compared to the eternity of life in akhirat.

This abandoning of the treacherous ego was beautifully exemplified in Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) when he was put through a pressing test to crush his will and to allow only Allah’s (ﷻ) Will to manifest.

He obeyed the heavy heavenly order to sacrifice his son, a person most dear to his heart, while rejecting the dissuasion of syaitan and his ego, symbolised by the stoning of the Jamrahs.

Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) is seen in this historical event, disobeying his ego, and obeying Allah (ﷻ), hence earning Allah’s (ﷻ) eternal Pleasure, and the Lofty Rank of the Friend of ArRahman.

Every King or Sultan has his private space, a forbidden sanctuary where only his will is manifested.

Allah (ﷻ) too has a Sacred Sanctuary, and that is one in which no pride or arrogance is allowed, for only Allah (ﷻ) has the right to those attributes. (Hadeeth)

Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) entered humbly into the sacred sanctuary of The Most Mighty, Sultan of all Sultans to sacrifice his son. There, only Allah’s (ﷻ) Will manifests.

Believers, for centuries commemorate this symbolic egoistic-self sacrifice on the most important day of the entire year, the Day of Arafah, where millions gather in the Lord’s Sacred Sanctuary to be cleansed of the treacherous, animalistic ego.


Every Muslim, not just those performing Hajj, is to be in repentance during this most mujarab (prayer accepted) period of Wukuf, as every du’a is granted on this afternoon.

Seek sincere forgiveness for all the times one has been in obedience to the ego, and hence, in disobedience to Allah (ﷻ).

Seek forgiveness for all the complaining, grumbling, unhappiness with His (ﷻ)Will, doubt in the Perfection of His (ﷻ) Will - all these are symptoms of an ailing, sickly heart, and Allah (ﷻ) commands us to return to Him (ﷻ), with Qalbun Saleem, the cleansed heart of perfected faith.

The Reality of Qurban is to sacrifice the sinful, lowly ego and allow only Allah’s (ﷻ) Perfect Will to manifest. Such an act requires years of training at the hand of a Sheikh, to gain the power to reign in the rebellious ego, allowing only the Lord's Will to reign.

On this Wukuf (this Monday), make intention to be at Arafah, Allah’s (ﷻ) Sacred Santuary, spiritually, with the pilgrims who are physically there.

May we always be spiritually with the living Ka’ba, the heart of our Guide, and be chosen to gather on the blessed Day of Arafah with the AwliyaAllah, and be granted Forgiveness for the past and Hidayah (Guidance) for the future and may Allah (ﷻ) accept all our prayers (du’as) and Qurban (sacrifices).]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/45708963Thu, 15 Jul 2021 15:14:29 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem The first ten days of Zulhijjah are the holiest of the year, which is why this Khatam is the most valuable one all year, blessed are the ones chosen to attend tonight.

Allah Almighty Created Bani Adam purposefully, to be His (ﷻ) representatives on earth.

Physically, as supreme rulers of the world, and spiritually, as one who can reach beyond angelic stations or fall even below the savage nature of wild beasts.

Our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said that the love of this world and the dislike of death will descend and displace his Ummah in the end of times. Now, we are witnessing this rampant disease of not seeking to know Allah (ﷻ) but a love and weakness for dunya, even amongst believers.

The majority of people today have completely lost their way and gather like wild beasts in these times where mankind has reached its summit of foolishness.

The lower, animalistic-self is ruling with its self-centred, secular education of trying to eradicate Divine Authority and spirituality.

A sign of a nearing Armageddon.

Today, the modern scientific man in his greatest time of ignorance declares, ‘La ila’, ‘There is no God’, he attributes all wonders to nature and evolution.

Deluded scientists are not trying to discover Allah’s (ﷻ) Might and Beauty, but instead, they aim to create a world where only materialistic views are deemed powerful and important.

Many are sadly admiring such people who have no value in Divine Eyes and they are refusing teachings of our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and Saintly Ones who inherited his (ﷺ) Way.

One cannot return in a state of happiness to Allah (ﷻ) while still in the state of wildness. Mawlana said that mankind was created for the palace but prefers to be in the dirty stables of animals.

The ferocious, beastly characteristics of man must be cleansed by taking a Guide and following the example of ‘Uswatun Hasanah’, ‘The Perfected Being’, our beloved Prophet (ﷺ).

His (ﷺ) inheritor, ‘insanul kamil’, a living ‘waliyyan murshida’ who can see Truth and show guidance, are who we must run after with reverence. Those are our role models.


Cleanse yourself in the hands of a spiritual doctor who helps cure the hidden egoistic diseases. Reflect on your inner-self and realise that the love for this world has in reality brought tastelessness to life and many difficulties upon us.

A sincere desire to be cleansed from animalistic behaviours will lead to a meaningful life, meeting our true purpose of becoming a true human being - khalifatu fil ardh.

Keep beseeching Allah (ﷻ) for more and more good behaviour (adab), His Bounties are limitless and He will Give from His Endless Generosity and Kindness.

Allah Almighty created the sun, moon, planet earth and all the celestial Universe to be of service to mankind.
Nothing is existing without purpose.

Our Naqshbandi Shuyukh never lived for themselves. They are inviting us to be as they are, a reflection of our Holy Prophet (ﷺ)- selfless, in service, a source of comfort, always helping to ease others of their difficulties and troubles.
Hence, a mureed aspiring to reach high spirituality is instructed to humbly be as his/her Guide is, in service to mankind and all of creation.

It is a requirement for the mureed to serve. Service to others is essential to build a strong heart connection with our Shaykh.

Service mines the stone heart to uncover metal from it. Only then can the current of rabitah flow through the live metal wired connection.

“So many mureed have high spiritual aspiration (Himma) and they say: ‘Oh my Sheikh, I am asking for Himma in order that my soul be activated.’ The Sheikh replies: ‘Oh my son, I am asking service from you (Khidma). What is this service? I am asking you to be like me; when you are like me, my spiritual powers may come to you, but if we are not of the same kind of metal, the current can’t pass through you: I am copper, you must not remain stone.’” - Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani (qas).

Service to others makes one beloved to Allah (ﷻ).

Worldly titles have no value in Divine Eyes. He (ﷻ) ranks his servants according to their sincere service to others.

As much as you can, make things easy for people. Begin with those close to you- your spouse, parents and elders. Then to your neighbours and those in the community, be they Muslims or non-Muslims.

Be the hand that gives.

Give through material means of charity, and also through spiritual means of raising your hands daily in du’a, reciting Quran and fervently praying for others to be removed from their afflictions from afar.

Mawlana said that difficulties will be gone if people truly cared to serve others in need.

The key is to do your best.

“The leaders of a community are those who serve them.”- Hadees
Many mureeds aspire to reach leadership roles but miss the most valuable service to Allah (ﷻ), which is to serve others, bringing benefit and comfort to them.

Our fundamental purpose is to be a source of goodness and service to the people around us, a small fragment of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) who was sent as a Mercy to all of creation.

When a child is dependent on Mother’s nourishing milk, supply miraculously flows for the one taking, until the child is full.

Similarly, endless oceans of Divine Guidance flows for the one in need, when connected to the Shaykh. A true Guide never stops providing guidance for the one constantly and humbly asking for his support.

Life is difficult for every human being. Every person is uniquely tested with difficulties and hence, in always in need of advice.

Our Masyaikh has taught us the wise mannerisms of seeking advice and help from Allah (ﷻ) and through the one in authority.

In the presence of a Sultan, asking for crates of dried grass for a donkey is utterly useless when he can provide valuable jewels and increase one’s fortune in an instant.

Our fundamental needs are like these precious stones, they are of Divine value and useful for our eternal life in akhirah.

In the presence of your Master, ask for valuable support - obedience to the Shaykh, Rasulullah (ﷺ) and Allah (ﷻ), a good death, patience in worship, unshakable iman, steadfastness in Tariqah, riddance of the ugly head of anger and bad behaviour, to name a few.

After asking for these important matters, then can one ask for hay for the donkey - egoistic, physical needs of good health, wealth, marriage, children, or social status - as a means to transport one to do more goodness for the sake of Allah (ﷻ).

Our fundamental purpose is to be a source of goodness and service to the people around us, a small fragment of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) who was sent as a Mercy to all of creation.

It is not wrong to ask for ease in our worldly sufferings but do so after asking for what matters most.

Remember that all difficulties endured in patience is grandly rewarded in the afterlife. The person being rewarded would wish for an entire lifetime of suffering on earth, at the sight of these rewards.

Therefore, be patient in difficulty, keep holding on to the Promise of the firm, guiding handhold of our beloved Mawlana.

Take time in this beautiful Way and allow our spiritual journey to unfold with yakeen in its process.

There is no need to rush into achieving spiritual maturity or feeling a complete rabitah. The time will come.

Every experience and struggle a sincere mureed endures with patience, pondering on its wisdom, will eventually lead to a constant rabitah and unshakable faith in Allah (ﷻ).

Keep the heart connected with zikir khafi (hidden remembrance) of ‘Allah, Allah’. This is the highest form of zikrullah and is all a sincere seeker needs to progress in this Way.

Zikir khafi removes shirk khafi. It delivers one towards servanthood with Allah (ﷻ) and away from slavery of the ego.

When we are constantly striving to be aware of Allah (ﷻ), InSha’Allah, we will eventually reach our purpose with the best of knowledge - ‘al ‘ilmu billah’, knowledge to be in Allah’s Presence, in all situations.

May Allah (ﷻ) make us heedfull ones progressing in this way and always in connection with our Guides.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/45427297Thu, 24 Jun 2021 15:24:39 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem When a child is dependent on Mother’s nourishing milk, supply miraculously flows for the one taking, until the child is full.

In the presence of your Master, ask for valuable support - obedience to the Shaykh, Rasulullah (ﷺ) and Allah (ﷻ), a good death, patience in worship, unshakable iman, steadfastness in Tariqah, riddance of the ugly head of anger and bad behaviour, to name a few.

After asking for these important matters, then can one ask for hay for the donkey - egoistic, physical needs of good health, wealth, marriage, children, or social status - as a means to transport one to do more goodness for the sake of Allah (ﷻ).

Our fundamental purpose is to be a source of goodness and service to the people around us, a small fragment of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) who was sent as a Mercy to all of creation.

It is not wrong to ask for ease in our worldly sufferings but do so after asking for what matters most.

Remember that all difficulties endured in patience is grandly rewarded in the afterlife. The person being rewarded would wish for an entire lifetime of suffering on earth, at the sight of these rewards.

Therefore, be patient in difficulty, keep holding on to the Promise of the firm, guiding handhold of our beloved Mawlana.

Take time in this beautiful Way and allow our spiritual journey to unfold with yakeen in its process.

There is no need to rush into achieving spiritual maturity or feeling a complete rabitah. The time will come.

Every experience and struggle a sincere mureed endures with patience, pondering on its wisdom, will eventually lead to a constant rabitah and unshakable faith in Allah (ﷻ).

Keep the heart connected with zikir khafi (hidden remembrance) of ‘Allah, Allah’. This is the highest form of zikrullah and is all a sincere seeker needs to progress in this Way.

Zikir khafi removes shirk khafi. It delivers one towards servanthood with Allah (ﷻ) and away from slavery of the ego.

When we are constantly striving to be aware of Allah (ﷻ), InSha’Allah, we will eventually reach our purpose with the best of knowledge - ‘al ‘ilmu billah’, knowledge to be in Allah’s Presence, in all situations.

May Allah (ﷻ) make us heedfull ones progressing in this way and always in connection with our Guides.]]>3318connectinghearts,dua-supplication-prayers,howtoaskforhelp,naqshbandi,seeking-guidance,sheikhmehmetadil,uselessquestionscleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/true-meaning-of-rabitah--45341976
Mankind has travelled the world through many means. Some took arduous, long routes by foot, while other lucky ones travel in the comfort of a jet aircraft, flying to their destination in a small fraction of time.

No matter the mode of transport, a traveller needs a means, a wasilah, to arrive at the destination.

Mureeds in this Tariqah are fortunate ones who travel comfortably on ‘Wasilah Airways’ piloted by Mawlana.

Once in the airplane, the mureed no longer sees the vessel but is in it, traveling towards the destination.

Rabitah (connection) with a murshid is the means towards constant connection with Allah (ﷻ). It is a heart-to-heart feeling of affection, longing and missing the murshid that cannot be seen. It is far from acquiring mystical powers of seeing the unseen.

The purpose of Rabitah is to bring one to an Endless Treasure, Allah (ﷻ).

Such one is immersed, every moment in zikrullah - pondering, reciting, working, doing good deeds - completely aware that The Treasure, Allah (ﷻ), is with the one who remembers Him (ﷻ).

This otherwise difficult connection to establish is made easy by the murshid through the Golden Chain of Masters.

He connects us to the heart of our Holy Prophet (ﷺ), who is in reality, the true ka’aba, House of Allah (ﷻ), in constant connection with The Divine.

‘Seeing’ the Shaykh is not a prerequisite to an established connection and having iman (faith).

Some mureeds are obsessed with wanting to be kashaf (unveiled- able to see the unseen). This brings one away from the true meaning of rabitah.

Rabitah is a heart connection through the Shaykh and not to him.

Having a heartfelt nearness to the Guide, firmly believing in the guidance of one’s murshid at every moment, is all a sincere student needs to progress to the Ultimate Destination.

A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah V1-3). Allah (ﷻ) says that for those who sincerely believe, they have no doubt in the existence of the ghaib (unseen), even if they don’t see it.

There is no need to look for or announce that one has supernatural powers of seeing the unseen. It is not the purpose of Tariqah and is nothing more than an egoistic-power-hungry-desire to be someone special, better than others.

To progress in this journey, be as you were when you came into this world, weak, humble and without will.

Stars are like brilliant jewels in the dark blanket of night.

Holy Ones whose hearts are illuminated with constant zikrullah, are like these guiding stars in the midst of the complete darkness on earth.

Darkness comes from the undead walking with perished hearts, neglectful of their Most Benevolent Sustainer (ﷻ).

Hearts come to life with the remembrance of Allah (ﷻ).

These enlightenend friends of Allah (ﷻ) are trained to cleanse darkened hearts and bring people to safety by dispensing a precious flow of advice from their fountain of Divine Knowledge.

“When I [Allah] Love him [a servant of Allah], I become his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks.

Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him; and were he to seek refuge with Me, I would surely grant him refuge.’ ” - Hadees, Bukhari

Wise ones seek such sincere servants of Allah (ﷻ) and sit with them, taking their guidance actively, becoming students who accept advice when it is given.

The ego will not accept advice from anyone, yet, Allah (ﷻ) Loves the one who empties himself/herself from prior knowledge and humbly asks Him for guidance in every matter.

Allah (ﷻ) speaks to his servants behind a veil, hence, keep your ears and heart open to advice coming from anyone, be it even from a child.

When our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was commanded, “Read!”, by Sayyidina Jibril (as), we find the most beautiful of response, “I don’t know.”

Although Rasulullah (ﷺ) is in reality The Source of all knowledge, he examplifies the perfection of humility in the presence of a guide, for anyone pursuing knowledge.

Empty yourself of your limited knowledge and dive into Oceans of Limitless Divine Knowledge.

Seek guidance sincerely, with an open heart, and have at your expense Limitless Divine Knowledge, if one so accepts that only Allah (ﷻ), His Beloved (ﷺ) and the true guides given authority, know better.

The route to safety is in the simplicity of complete obedience and acceptance to advice given.

Allah Almighty said that all of mankind are equal except that they are ranked by the state of their hearts.

The heart is the main focus of our Murshid and it also becomes the main focus for us in Tariqah.

Saints gather hearts.

They know the ways to the heart of every mureed and keep our fragile hearts in this way by showering it with feelings of closeness, familiarity, acceptance, love and appreciation.

Sohbah, Companionship, is the Way of our Naqshbandi Shuyukh and advice can only be transmitted when hearts feel connected, at ease, with the heart of a Murshid.

Injured, broken hearts cannot take advice. It is repulsed and darkened with specks of hatred.

Therefore, we must be very careful with the hearts of others and not break them.

Look for praiseworthy characteristics in a person and keep away from degrading their value by recklessly reprimanding or correcting errors immediately.

A believer knows the value of a heart and will look after it by connecting hearts instead of correcting them.

Mawlana reminds mureeds to focus on their own hearts and not pounce on opportunities to correct others as they see fit.

Save your loved ones from hellfire by gathering their hearts with gentleness and unity.

Speak wisely, delay correcting others, be loving and walk 99 steps with someone in badness, so that, he or she, might take the 100th step with you, in love and righteousness.

Remember, all that matters is the ending. We will be raised with those we love on Judgement Day, determining the state of our eternal life.

Mawlana Shaykh’s sohbahs are easily accessible and enough to remind, and help us in the more difficult times ahead.

Are we listening and willing to follow?

Our Naqshbandi Way is a great favour from Allah (ﷻ).

Since the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, mankind witnessed many unfortunate events unfold. Today, our lives have changed drastically as a consequence to our own acts of heedlessness.

Performing a simple sunnah of smiling to others is now not even possible with the face mask on.

The sunnah of exchanging handshakes, salam, in public, praying shoulder to shoulder as a jemaah in a jam-packed Masjid, visiting Sacred Lands and maqams of Holy Ones have also been restricted from our practices.

Therefore, we must be foremost and hasten to perform as many sunnah and all other means of worshipping that remains.

The generations to come growing up in these strange conditions, will have nothing left of Islam except for the seed of ‘Laillaha illallah’, that were planted by their parents and caregivers in their hearts.


‘La illaha illallah- There is no God but God.’
The strength of every Muslim family unit is vital, especially so in these times of the second Jahilliya where soon the sanctity of our homes will become our children’s only example of Islam.

Rasulullah (ﷺ) said, “Baiti Jannati”, My Home, My Paradise. Turn your home into a paradise for your spouses and children.

Our Masyaikh (q) advices us to remain in unity, tolerance and love by always looking within to correct our inner faults and not look externally for the faults in others.

Only through united hearts will we be able to reach safety with Sahib ul- Zaman. Disunity, be it within the family or the jemaah will not bring any peace.

Plant into the hearts of your loved ones seeds of love for Sunnah, the Ummah and this Way, through sohbah.

The pursuit of Safety and Happiness begins with purification.

Lailatul Jai’za, the Night of Rewards on Eidul Fitri, is a Holy Night where sincere servants of Allah (ﷻ) take from His Generosity, Forgiveness and celebrate their return to the state of purity.

These blessed ones are, like iron attracted to a magnet, attracted to draw closer to Allah (ﷻ) and His Beloved (ﷺ) in Holy Ramadan.

They planted seeds of good intentions and beg to remain spiritually with Ramadan, to be with Allah (ﷻ), seeking to progress in this Way.

Ramadan is the opening to spiritual cleansing.

Like the Holy Kaa’ba, attracting billions of people to it, Ramadan’s magnetic pull draws hearts closer to Allah (ﷻ) and His Beloved (ﷺ).

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (qas) said that a spiritual guide, a true inheritor of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) is in reality, the Spiritual Kaa’ba.

He, like a magnet, has the true ability to pull millions of hearts to connect to Allah, through Rabitah.

Hence, finding your Murshid is a beautiful gift of finding the only one who holds the key to your heart. There is no need to look for another.

This key, bestowed to him by Holy Prophet (ﷺ), allows him to enter, groom and prepare your heart, to reach its true purpose, a place devoted only for its One True Owner (ﷻ).

The attraction to connect the heart with a Guide unlocks the heart to be cleansed from what seems like mankind’s incorrigible nature of self aggrandizement, self-idolation, anger and all the other sewage of Ego’s bad characteristics.

Taking guidance from a Murshid is the only Way for Man to begin returning to purity.

The iron pumping heart needs to be in connection to its magnet in order to become a source of magnetic attraction itself, drawing others to the Guide’s magnetic hold.

The pull is irresistible, a natural attraction that is vital for the sincere seeker to begin the journey of reaching safety and ultimately, reaching to Servanthood. What a great honour and blessing, to be a servant of The Almighty (ﷻ)!

Wise ones who draw near to the Spiritual Kaa’ba in Tawaf, remaining in constant connection, following every sohbah, will slowly see their dirtiness disappear.

Then, they progress to reach a place of true happiness and no worry, inheriting the beautiful characteristics of their Guide, becoming beloved to Allah (ﷻ).

Seek to remain with Ramadan, with your key-holder, your Shaykh, and strive to become a real murid.

Our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said:

إِنَّمَا اْلأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ

Every action is based on its intention. - Hadees Bukhari

Setting an intention at heart is like sowing a seed into soil.

The seed will only grow into what it was intended to become. A tomato plant will not bear sweet durians.

Many began Ramadan with planting seeds of noble intentions, to spend it in constant zikrullah, fasting, charity and searching every night for Lailatul Qadr.

Every favourable harvest had a good beginning.

However, to reap the right harvest of our deeds, we must be careful with our intentions from the start.

Has all the worshipping been a means of worldly gain?

Similarly for our journey in Tariqah, did we begin only to reach certain mystical powers or recognition?

If we are looking to harvest sweet, delicious King of Fruits, we must not have sowed vegetable seeds at the beginning.

Setting the right intention from the start sets the foundation for all situations.

Parents who want to raise filial, pious children with beautiful mannerisms must also have good intentions before marriage, when selecting their spouses.

A strong tree needs nutritious soil to take root in, hence a righteous spouse will nurture righteous children.

As Ramadan is about to leave, wise mureeds are doing their utmost, spending all the precious moments they have left, with Ramadan, swooning over Divine Love and worship. Parting with a loved one is painful.

Seeking Allah’s Pleasure is the best ‘seed of intention’ for anyone to plant.

Check and correct your intentions in these final few days of Ramadan.

Be busy uprooting the evasive, unwanted plants grown from bad seeds we sowed, by asking Allah (ﷻ) for His Endless Oceans of Mercy and Forgiveness.

Keep planting seeds of good intentions now, as we are still in Ramadan.

Seeking Allah’s (ﷻ) Pleasure is our fruition, our destination.

Beg Allah to allow us the strength and ease to perform all these good deeds in Ramadan everyday, for a lifetime, as though we never separated from Ramadan and are always in Allah’s Pleasure (ﷻ).

Be busy uprooting the evasive, unwanted plants grown from bad seeds we sowed, by asking Allah (ﷻ) for His Endless Oceans of Mercy and Forgiveness.

Keep planting seeds of good intentions now, as we are still in Ramadan.

Seeking Allah’s (ﷻ) Pleasure is our fruition, our destination.

Beg Allah to allow us the strength and ease to perform all these good deeds in Ramadan everyday, for a lifetime, as though we never separated from Ramadan and are always in Allah’s Pleasure (ﷻ).

May Allah (ﷻ) grant us the wisdom to plant the right seeds and a heart yearning only for His Pleasure, nothing else.]]>2151islam,naqshbandi,sheikhmehmetcleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/live-and-die-with-allah-s-will--44557757
Life, is a journey.

At birth, the road seems uncertain for the newborn traveller. Where and how the baby is nurtured, grows and learns is a mystery.

Life’s only certainty however, is death. A homing arrow which never misses its target.

Beginning with La illaha illallah, every soul came into existence only with Allah’s (ﷻ)Will, brought to earthly life with His (ﷻ) Will, and must return to The Gatherer, as He (ﷻ) has so Lovingly Ordained, to be with Him (ﷻ), for eternity.

The journey of life for mankind is unlike any other creation.
With an ego that defies Allah’s (ﷻ) Lordship, is stubborn and arrogant, mankind has accepted to battle the greatest battle of all, Jihadul Nafs.

”Why did Allah Azza was Jalla send people to this world? This world is a testing place. People don’t understand this. They think when they come to this world, all their wishes will be fulfilled, everything will go as they like. With crying, complaining and by force, the want to turn this world into paradise. No, it doesn’t go according to your wishes. What Allah Wills, happens. Allah sends human beings into this world so they work for their akhirah, make their akhirah prosperous. If heaven was on earth, people would not be tested.” - Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil (ق).

How you live is how you will die.

A life ending with La illaha illallah is not merely for the tongue, but most importantly for the heart.
In this short lifetime, the heart must be groomed to lovingly accept every difficulty and surrender to the Will of Allah (ﷻ).

From the smallest of tests like stubbing one’s toes, to the bigger tests in marriage or career, the one striving for servanthood must reject all whispers of the ego to fuel anger and do as it pleases.

Instead, speak to your heart and train it to see all trials and tribulations as La illaha illallah, coming only from Divine Love.
Allah (ﷻ) sends tests to crush the egoistic self, turning the heart to be a source of goodness and service, only for Him (ﷻ).

Keep your eyes on your heart and keep your heart with your Shaykh.

May Allah (ﷻ) make our hearts submit only to His Will and, keep us always in the loving guidance of our shepherd, our Guide, and may He always bring our hearts back to the right way.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/44557757Thu, 29 Apr 2021 15:35:50 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Life, is a journey.

All Thanks be to Allah (ﷻ) for the endless gifts He Bestows upon us.

Not everyone will wake up from sleep, return safely to the comfort of home from work or school, are able to eat, walk or have good health and wealth.

What we take for granted as ordinary in everyday life, are in fact priceless gifts of life.

Every breath is a precious gift.

Certain gifts, Allah (ﷻ) in His Wisdom, keeps hidden in worship, exclusively, for true believers to enjoy.

The chosen few who delight in the exquisite sweetness of worship, are truly blessed.

Acts of i’badah, like fasting and prayer, are in reality, invitations to physical and spiritual salvation, for this world and the hereafter.

Allah Almighty does not need our worshipping. Glorified be He (ﷻ).

His (ﷻ) invitation to prayer calls us to come and stand in His (ﷻ) Presence, to be honoured and dressed with all we need to reach to true happiness and safety.


Our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) says in a Hadith,

“The position of solat (prayer) with respect to all worshipping, is like the position of the head, in a human being.”

Leaving solat is likened to losing one’s head, hence losing precious life itself.

Make time for real life.

Build the day around prayer and build prayer upon cleanliness.

As advised and practiced by our Shuyukh, be ‘prayer-ready’ by being in wudhu (ablution) at all times and hasten to prayer, when the time arrives.

Allah (ﷻ) presents a banquet of all we would love - help, protection, relief, sustenance, wisdom, and more, at every time of prayer.

‘Help from Allah and a near victory.’

Wa u’khraa tuhibbuu nahaa, nasrun min Allahi, wa fat'hun qareebun wa bashiril mu’mineen

"And also (He will give you) another (blessing) which you love, Help from Allah, and a near victory. And give glad tidings to the believers"

(Quran Surah Saaf : Verse 13)

The children of man either gather for good or for evil.

Our first gathering began in purity on the day of ‘Alastubi rabbikum?’, when Allah Almighty asked all souls, ‘Am I not your Lord?’, to which every soul affirmed, ‘Yes’.

Allah (ﷻ) is One and He Loves oneness.

On earth, those whose hearts have been chosen to gather with Guidance, taking the hand of a true Guide, will be dressed with knowledge of knowing themselves.

Knowing yourself is to know Allah (ﷻ).

To know Allah (ﷻ) is to be with Allah, to be for Him.

Holy Ramadan Sharif is a month to be with Allah (ﷻ).

When our worst allied enemies are in chains, shaitan locked away and the ego weakened for a whole month, victory is undoubtedly made easy for those sincerely seeking servanthood.

Those who emerge from Ramadan with nothing, are truly cursed, having no one to blame but their heedless selves.

Be busy with Allah (ﷻ), and not with tablespreads of food, shopping and preparations for Eid.

Seek this magnificent month of Divine Mercy, Forgiveness and Salvation earnestly to become a servant of Allah (ﷻ) and to break free from slavery to the ego.

Fasting in Ramadan supresses the ego making it easier to build our heart connection with our Guide, being in zikrullah, reciting the Holy Quran, beautifying the nights with Tarawih, Tahajjud, I’tikaf and establishing a constant remembrance of Allah (ﷻ) that will, hopefully, last beyond Ramadan.

May we reach to Holy Ramadan in safety and reap its bountiful rewards and the ultimate reward of being only for Allah (ﷻ).]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/44266336Fri, 09 Apr 2021 03:37:47 +0000SufiHub NaqshbandiBismillahir Rahmanir Raheem The children of man either gather for good or for evil.
