Blessed Be Mustafa (Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam)


Blessed be Mustafa, mercy for mankind,

God's light, the right way to find.


Blessed be the highest of the high,
The brightest star of prophecy's sky.


Blessed be the sovereign of Ka'aba and paradise,

Who is compassionate, merciful and wise.

Blessed be the hero on the night of his ascension,
The apple of the people's eye in heaven.

Blessed be the splendour of the next world,
Dignity, justice and grandeur of this world.

Blessed be his noble mind,
The most sublime of its kind.

Blessed be the source of knowledge divine,
Outstanding and the last in the Prophet's line.

Blessed be the point of Life's hidden unity,
And also the centre of its visible diversity.

Blessed be Nature's privileged one,
Who divided the moon and called back the sun.

Blessed be the blanket, rich in mystic quality,
Under which the food increased in quanitity.

Blessed be the sovereign, wise and high,
Whose rule extends from earth to sky.

Imam Ahmed Raza Khan

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam)


How can the love of the Beloved Allah be attained without having love for Beloved of the Beloved (Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam}.The best way to have love for our Nabi Sallallahu Alaihy wasallam is to adhere to Sunnah and sending lots of Salutation(Durood).


In Quran Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'la HImself Praises His Beloved( Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam):


If you want to gain the love of Allah, follow him (3:31)
Allah describes him with His Own Attributes of Rauf (Most Kind) and Rahim (Merciful) (9:128)
Allah Himself praises him (33:45-47)
He is a special favour of Allah (Sub’hanahu wa Ta’ala) (3:164)
Allegiance to him is allegiance to Allah (48:10)


About His beloved Prophet's (Sallalahu Alaihy Wasallam) exalted status Quran says :


 He is Nur (Sacred Light) (5:15)
 Allah blesses him (33:56)
 Mercy for all the worlds (21:107)
 His name is Muhammad (Meaning the Most Praised One) (47:2)
 Allah has exalted his Zikr (remembrance) (94:1-4)
 His exaltation on the Night of Mi’raj: his heavenly ascent (53:8-9)
 His Station of Praise (Al-Maqam al-Mahmud) (17:79)


Quran mentions About His(Sallalalhu Alaihy Wasallam) Exemplary character:


 Most examplary character (33:21) (68:4)
 Sadiq (Truthful) (33:22)
 Final judge and arbiter (4:65) (24:51)
 Honoured, Noble (69: 40)
 Forgiving (7:199)
 He is Burhan (Clear Proof) (4:174)

 Alhumdulillah What a lofty stauts Allah Subhanahu Ta'la has blessed our Beloved prophet Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam.I would like to end this post with the very beautiful dua of my friend.


May Allah  give us the true understanding of who our Beloved Nabi truly was. Ameen

Crying before Beloved

“I cry and weep before my Beloved, for that appears well pleaseing to Him
And in both worlds our crying and sorrowful sighs are loved byHim.
Blessed is that eye that cries in the remembrance of the Beloved
And blessed is the heart that is embroiled in His love.
For as long as the babe does not cry,
milk does not flow forth from mother breasts
And as long as the clouds don’t shed raindrops,
the garden does not become green.
From the ‘crying’ of the clouds, the garden becomes green and fertile.
And as much as the candle cries, so much it increases its light.
And where tears flow, mercy prevails.
Allah equates the tears of the sinner in grief
To the blood flowing from a martyr.
Crying and weeping is a great wealth.
And the Mercy of Allah is a great blessing.
The wealth of this world consists of gold and silver.
The capital in Allah’s sight is Love and two crying eyes.”

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

Rabia Al Basri and scholar


A leading scholar of Basra visited Rabi`a al-Adawiyya while she was ill. Sitting beside her pillow, the scholar spoke about how terrible the world was.
In reply, Rabi`a told him:
"You love the world very dearly. If you did not love the world, you would not mention it so much. It is always the purchaser who first disparages what he wants to buy. If you were done with the world, you would not mention it either for good or evil. As it is, you keep mentioning it because, as the proverb says, whoever loves a thing mentions it frequently."

Couplets

Khuda wanda Mohabbat aisi day day Apni Rahmat sy
Karay Akhtar fida tujh per yay dil apna jigar apna


(O Allah ! give such Mohabbat to me From Your Mercy ,
that i will dedicate my whole Heart and soul to YOU)

Whoever knows Me

True love is nothing but drinking the wine of eternity.
In this state, the soul finds life only by dying-
but I wanted things in reverse!

I thought, "First I will know you, then I will die."
He replied, "Whoever knows Me never dies."


Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

When I run to You...

Let me hide in You
From everything that distracts me from You,
From everything that comes in my way
When I want to run to You.


Hazrat Rabia Al Basri

Oh My Choice Beauty

O my choice beauty
You've gone
But your love remains in my heart
Your image in my eye
O guide on my winding road
I keep turning round and round in the hopes of
Finding you"
 

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

If you want to reach Him...

Hear this if you can:
If you want to reach Him
You have to go beyond yourself
And when you finally arrive at the land of absence
Be silent
Don’t say a thing
Ecstasy, not words, is the language spoken there"
 

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi(R.A.)

Arif Billa Hazrat Maulana Shah HakeemMuhammad Akhtar Sahab (db)

 This section is dedicated to my beloved Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahab (db).

Shaykh Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Daamat Barakaatuhum) is one of the greatest gifted scholars of Islam today. His reputation and standing to the Muslims of Asian subcontinent needs no introduction. However, for the benefit of others, Shaykh has been favored by Allah (swt) to have been nurtured by three of the greatest and most renowned Wali's (saints) of his time.
Shaykh's inclination towards the Creator, the Almighty Allah (swt) began before he even reached puberty. He dedicated his life from before teens in the service of those pious servants of Allah (swt) whom the world today refers as Ahlullah (saints). From the tender age of 12, he began attending discourses of renowned scholars of the time. At the age of 15, he took bay'at (pledge) to the great Wali (saint) of his time, Shaykh Shah Muhammad Ahmed (ra) and spent three years continuously in his lofty company. Thereafter Shaykh was guided to the company of the famous Wali (saint) Shaykh Shah Abdul Ghani Phoolpuri (ra), with whom he spent 17 years. The Shaykh's service and dedication to his Shaykh is unsurpassable in recent times. During the seventeen years with Shaykh Phoolpuri (ra) the nights were spent in a retreat (jungle) from where no other human sound was audible except for the Shaykh's (Phoolpuri)zikr (remembrance of Allah). It was under the tutelage of Shaykh Phoolpuri for seventeen years that Hazrat mastered the scholarly work of Mathnawi by Shaykh Rumi. Shaykh Phoolpuri (ra) himself was guided by the greatest scholar of recent history, Hakeem ul Ummat Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanwi (ra), who in turn was taught the Mathnawi by Shaykh Haji Imdadullah (ra).
In his discourses and writings he explores profound topics relevant to the ummah(community) at present time. .His understanding and explanation of man's spiritual relationship with Allah (swt), the prevalent spiritual and physical maladies and its rectification are topics taken up by other Ulemas (scholars of Islam) throughout the world


May Allah Ta'ala Blessed Hazratwala with sehat and highest rank of both worlds Ameen !!
This section includes  couplets  and teachings of Hazratwala that Allah Ta'ala blessed me with Alhumdulillah. May Allah Ta'la make the Ahhh !! of Hazratwala a mean to attain His love Ameen !!

My greatest Need is You.....

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure,
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word.
My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You -

O Allah! I can't live in this world
Without remembering You.


Hazrat Rabia Al Basri

This is Love

"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet."

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

When I mention Your name

"O Allah when I mention Your Name,
I feel such sweetness and ecstasy,
That it appears as if rivers of honey
Are set flowing from every hair of my body."


Moulana Kandhlawy (R.A.)

The Supreme Soul...

Until you've found pain, you won't reach the cure,
Until you've given up life, you won't unite with

the supreme soul,
Until you've found fire inside yourself, like the Friend,
You won't reach the spring of life, like Khezr.


Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (RA)

Oh My Allah.......

Allah, if i worship You from the fear of Hell, then let me burn in hell
 
If i worship You for the hope of Paradise, then deny me admittance to it.

But

if i worship You out of reverence for You alone,
then do not deny me the joy of Your Eternal Beauty.


Hazrat Rabia Al Basri
