Don’t Seem to Feel Hungry Wednesday, July 1, 2009

We may have heard that zikr is a means of energising the soul; a type of food for the soul. Our respected Shaykh once questioned a gathering of students:
“Why is it that on missing zikr, a person doesn’t seem to feel spiritual hunger or thirst, whereas when a person doesn’t eat he feels hungry?”
Shaykh then gave the answer:
“No matter how many days an unconscious or dead person goes without food he will not feel hungry. Similar is the case of people who do not seem to feel hunger and thirst for zikr: their hearts are unconscious or dead. The only way to revive them is to do zikr.”

“Rassoolullah sallalahu alayhi wassalam said,
Whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah raises him [in rank], and whoever is arrogant, Allah degrades him. (Bayhaqi)
(Commenting on this hadeeth Shaykh highlighted the following points which will inshallah help one to become mutawadi`:humble)
“1) Sit in the company of the humble. Your Shaykh is the best for this.
2) Be punctual with Zikr. If you have Allah in your heart, automatically all the evils of the heart will be removed.
3) Remind yourself that you are sinful.
4) Think of your beginnings (a drop of dirty fluid).
5) Think of your end (after you die, no one will want to be close to you, your body will rot, worms will eat your body, etc.).
6) Make du’a to Allah: “Allahumajalni sagheeran fi ayni wa kabeeran fi a`ayu ninaas.” (O Allah, make me small in my own eyes and great in the eyes of the people.)”
The Heart Tuesday, June 23, 2009

The heart that was meant for nothing but the love of Allah contains the love of everything but Allah.
The heart that was meant to be the slave of none but Allah has become the slave of everything but Allah.
“What use is a flower which is bereft of fragrance?
What use is a heart which is empty of Allah?”
Grief-Proof Wednesday, June 17, 2009

“Taqwaa is not abundant worship, taqwaa is refraining from sins, both major and minor. With taqwaa, one’s heart is made grief-proof. As the respected Shaykh Hakim Akhtar hafizahullah says:
If the creation of Allah ta’ala can make a watch water proof, then cannot the Creator make the hearts of His friends (i.e. those who adopt taqwaa) grief-proof?
All Good is Only from Allah Tuesday, June 16, 2009

by Mawlana Hashim Muhammad
“If a person assesses himself, he will find in himself some shortcomings and some good qualities. To create humility in our hearts we should attribute all the shortcomings in our lives to ourselves and we should attribute all the good qualities that we have to Allah ta’ala.
In other words, we should think that anything good we do is only through the Fadhl of Allah and whatever wrong or evil we see in ourselves is due to our own selves.”
