Allah Invited You !!

Words written under are not of any scholar but read on  this  Site while browsing for some pictures  Gave me a thought to ponder over.Often we overlook the one who has come to invite us towards Allah Ta'ala.We don't give a thought Who actually is inviting us,Who actually wants us to be in His court.I have seen even in my own family how the wedding or other invitations are kept with great care and at place where it could be seen easily by members of  the home.We also feel pride if some high profile people of the town invite us but when Allah Ta'ala the Almighty,the Sovereign invites us we don't even ready to give ears to them. I hope  the words hereunder would let us to realize the importance of Invitation send by Allah Ta'ala Aameen!

When a preacher knocks, you should be happy that Allah Swt is inviting you towards the most excellent religion:) . You should quit whatever you are doing and meet that guy. Listen humbly to his invitation (dawah). If he invites you to the mosque for the next prayer, accept his invitation, jump into the shower and brace yourself for that prayer( “God has invited you”) . Feel different , Allah SWT invited you .

Purity Lies in.............

Purity does not lie in rituals, nor can human nature be changed by effort. Those who love God and remain conscious only of their Beloved attain purity.

[Al Hujwiri]

See through Heart...How??

When a lover of God turns his eyes away from the temptations of this world, he sees the Lord with the eyes of his heart.

 [Shaykh Ali al Hujwiri]

Make Your Deeds Accepted

Whenever one is given the taufeeq to do righteous deeds one should make this duaa for its acceptance by reciting following Duaa.....

Rabbana Taqabbal minna 'Innaka 'Antas Sami' 'ul 'Aleem

"Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For You are the All-Hearing, the All-knowing." (2:127).

Ship of the Heart

"Shaykh S‘adi rahmatullahi alayh explains the relationship of man to material wealth by using the example of a ship and the ocean. A ship cannot function and reach its destination without water; however, the water of the ocean must not enter the ship, otherwise the ship will ultimately sink and be destroyed.Similarly, man’s heart is also a ship and its ocean is material wealth, without which it is difficult to survive. As long as he keeps the water (the love of material wealth) outside the ship of his heart, he will be able to safeguard himself from sinking. On the contrary, if his heart’s ship begins to let in the water from the ocean he will sink and perish.We need to understand that this world has been designed for us to use as per need, only enough to reach our destination.”

Naseehat

Shafeeq Balkhi set off for Hajj. When he reached Baghdad, the Khalifah, Haroun Rashid highly honoured him and asked for naseehat. Shafeeq Balkhi said: "Allah Ta'ala has made you the representative of the four Khulafa-e-Raashideen. You will be questioned about truth, justice, shame and knowledge. Allah has granted you wealth to give to the needy. He has given you power to compel people to observe the Shariah. If you f ail in these duties, then in Qiyaamah you will be the leader of the inmates of Jahannum. The Khalifah is like a fountain and his subordinate officers like streams springing from the fountain. Govern righteously so that your offices emulate you."

When Haroun Rashid asked for more naseehat, Shafeeq Balkhi said: "If you are overwhelmed by thirst in a desert and someone offers you water in exchange for half your kingdom, will you accept?" The Khalifah said: "Yes."

Shafeeq Balkhi: "If after drinking the water, you are unable to urinate and suffer great pain and distress, a physician says that he will cure you for half your kingdom, will you agree?" 

The Khalifah said: "Yes."

Shafeeq Balkhi: "A kingdom which worth a cup of water and its release is not worth to be proud of." Haroun Rashid wept profusely.
