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

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
