Oh beloved !

 Oh Beloved,

Take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.
Oh Beloved,

Take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihy)

Noor of the Heart

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that when Noor enters the heart, the (spiritual) breast of man expands. When the Sahaabah asked for a sign of this Noor, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “Such a person flees from this abode of deception. He turns his attention to the abode of the Aakhirah and he makes preparations for it before the arrival of maut.”

Thus, a man who has lost interest and desire in this world, has acquired this Noor.

O' wonderful Love

This is what i've read in a student's Almanac.Simple words but touch the heart.

God's love is so wonderful,

God's love is so wonderful,

O' wonderful love !

So high you can't get over it,

So deep you can't get under it.

So wide you can't get around it.

O' wonderful love !

God's love is so wonderful,

God's love is so wonderful........

Hazrat Shibli's love for Allah

Hazrat Shibli used to carry sweets in his pockets and upon hearing anyone call out the Name of Allah he would put some sweets in that person’s mouth. When asked why he would do this, one day he answered, “If I hear the Name of Allah and don’t fill that mouth with sweet then what else should I do?” Hazrat Shibli would often be lost in his deep love for Allah.


From The Sermons by Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed Sahab (DB)

Who you want to be with?

Abu Dharr (radiyAllaahu 'anhu) said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wasallam), what if a man loves a people but cannot join them?' He(Sallalaahu 'Alaihy wasallam) replied, 'Abu Dharr, you are with the one you love.' I said, 'I love Allah and His Messenger.' He(Sallallahu 'Alaihy wasallam) said, 'Abu Dharr, you are with the one you love.'"

(Bukhari)

What Happened to the Ummah !!

Reading the following article made me remind these words of a Nasheed and it really pains to see the deteriorating condiiton of Ummah.These words are dedicated to our Beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam.
Ummah is in Chaos

I wish You were here 

Here next to me 
Been missing You so 
So desperately 
But lately I feel 

Like You feel and 

I see what you see 

How I'm missing You 


What happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

Used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech 

People came from afar just to hear us teach 

Yo what happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked 

We lost our deen we feel secure 

‘Cause our mansions are locked 

In my teen years salah wasn't really that tight 

Now I gotta pray each one of them twice 

What happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

Brother we prefer light skinned women 

While righteously maintaining our deen against racism 

What happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

What happened to the ummah once known so well 

Greatness was known, but now can u tell 

Kids in Africa are starving – can't afford to cry 

I'll pay interest for a car I can't afford to buy 

What happened to the ummah once known so well 

Greatness was known, but now can u tell? 

We used to smile at each other, with faces full of light 

Now we frown at each other, we bicker and we fight 

Pops in the mosque praying, kids in the streets hating 

Kids on the corner selling, pops in the mosque preachin' 

What happened to the ummah once known so well 

Greatness was known but now can u tell? 

The Quran has left out hearts stranded, hanging on out walls 

6232verses, so strong 

9 out of 10 of us can't even read or write 

1924 feels distant like way before Christ 

May Allah Ta'ala remove the darkness of ignorance spreading over Ummah and give us the taufeeq to make  aware and strength our fellow muslim brothers and sisters Ameen !

Junaid Baghdadi (Rahmatullah Alaihy) Lost but Won

Junaid Baghdadi earned his livelihood as a professional wrestler. As was the norm, the Leader of Baghdad announced one day, “Today, Junaid Baghdadi will demonstrate his skills as a wrestler, is there anyone to challenge him.” An elderly man shakily stood up with his neck quivering and said, “I will enter the contest with him.”

Whoever was witness to this scene could not contain themselves, they burst out howling with laughter, clapping their hands. The King was bound by the law. He could not stop someone who of his own free will entered the bout. The elderly man was given the permission to enter the ring. He was about sixty-five years old. When Junaid Baghdadi entered the ring, he was dumbfounded as was the King and all the spectators of the Kingdom who were present. The single thought that occupied their minds was, “How will this old man be able to fight?”

The old man addressed Junaid with these words, “Lend me your ears.” He then whispered, “I know it is not possible for me to win this bout against you, but I am a Sayyid, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). My children are starving at home. Are you prepared to sacrifice your name, your honour and position for the love of Allah’s Prophet and lose this bout to me? If you do this I will be able to collect the prize money and thereby have the means to feed my children and myself for an entire year. I will be able to settle all my debts and above all, the master of both the worlds will be pleased with you. Are you, Oh Junaid, not willing to sacrifice your honour for the sake of the children of Rasulullah (peace be upon him)?”

Junaid Baghdadi thought to himself, “Today, I have an excellent opportunity.”

In a display of fervour Junaid Baghdadi executed a couple of maneuvers, demonstrating his finesse so that the King does not suspect any conspiracy. Junaid with a great display of antics did not use his strength and allowed himself to be dropped. The elderly man mounted his chest thus entitling him to the prize.

That night, Junaid Baghdadi had a dream of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who said, “Oh Junaid, you have sacrificed your honour, your nationally acclaimed fame, your name and position which was heralded throughout Baghdad in the expression of your love for my children who were starving. As of today, your name is recorded in the register of the Auliya (friends of Allah).”

Thereafter, this great wrestler learnt to defeat his nafs (desires) and became one of the most eminent Auliya of his time!

As you Sow so shall you Reap

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam) said:"convey from me even if it is(only)one Ayah(verse)."(Bukhari ,3461)

Prophet Muhammad(Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam) said: "whoever calls others to guidance will have a reward like the rewards of those who follow him .without that detracting from their reward in any way.And whoever calls others to misguidance will have a burden of sin like the burden of those who follow him,without that detracting from their burden in any way.(Muslim,2674)

May Allah Ta'ala give us the taufeeq to spread  good and keep us away from saying  or doing anything that may lead others to wrong Ameen !

Eid Mubarak !

Which Sunscreen to be used for heart !!

When exposed to sunshine the noor of the face fades away similarly when exposing to the glitz and glamour of the world Noor of heart is snatched away.To prevent the harm of sunrays and to keep the noor intact people use different degree of sunscreen depending on requirement. what about the Noor of heart that is being constantly withering away due to the glare of duniya.what type of screen is used for that.The best screen to safeguard the Noor of the heart is Zikr of Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala.


My Beloved Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahab Damat Barakatuhum states that
"Market mein shaitan ki marpitting se bachne kay liye Zikr ki kasrat rakha karen"
(To save from the harm of shaitan in the market be constant in zikr of Allah "


 Next time before leaving the home also think of applying screen for the heart too.
