When the Brakes Fail..........

Every vehicle has a braking system which reduces the speed of the vehicle and allows it to come to a complete halt. This human body which is always on the move is daily faced by the fast moving sins and temptations. Modesty and shame form that much needed braking system in man. Without it, man will time and again be destroyed in head-on collisions and life threatening problems.

Music, magazines and movies have become part of a systematic effort to break down man’s braking system of modesty. When brakes fail, then that accidental glance meets up with broken homes and marriages.

We need to keep our brakes serviced with good actions and pious company.

Where You Search For!!

Yahya bin Muaaz Rahmatullah-e-Alayh says,

“There isn’t any respect for a person that disobeys Allah Jalla Jala Laho

If a person desires respect then he should always obey Allah Jalla Jala Laho We search for respect in money, luxury homes, latest model vehicles, cell phones, etc. We ensure that these things are noticed by others, so that people are aware that we are using the latest phone. To attain this objective we will use it in front of others with style. This proves that we regard respect in these things but it is only in the obedience of Allah Ta'ala.

The Buzurgs have written that those that attach importance to these things are clear indications that they are internally empty. The more a person is filled internally is so simple externally. Our great Buzurgs were extremely simple in their external dress even though it was connected to Deen. The great Buzurgs weren’t even particular of straightening their Topis. This had indicated their internal condition.

Nowadays, people are particular of their topies, shoes, sandals, and desire to be noticed. Maulana Muhammad Gardee Saheb of White river had visited Hadrat Maulana Habibur Rahman Aazmi of Aazam Gar. He says, “I found him wearing a simple vest with many holes on them.” He says, “When I embraced him I was unable to leave him.” The insignificant worldly things didn’t matter to these Buzurgs. Hadrat Sheikh says that for six months he never changed his Kurta.

We are so concerned of the creams, cosmetics, brushing our hair. This is the way of the women but the men have also fallen into these things. We should remember respect is only in the obedience of Allah Ta'ala.

A Tiny Rose Bud........Secret Unknown

It is a tiny rose bud.
A flower of God's design
But I can not unfold the petals
With these clumsy
hands of mine.




The secret of unfolding flowers
is not known to such as I
God opens this flower
so sweetly
In my hand it will fade & die

If I can not unfold a rosebud,

This flower of God's design,

Then how can I think

I have wisdom

To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him
For His leading
Each moment of everyday.
I will look at Him
For His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

The Pathway

That lies before me

Only my Allah knows.

I'll trust Him to unfold

the moments,

Just as He unfolds the rose.

The Best One !

The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and  teach it. 

[Bukhari]

Be Wise.....

Speech is a necessary evil, but silence is salvation. So when you do have to talk, do not be prolific. You will never once repent of your silence, but often times you will repent of your speech. When a person's intelligence is complete, his speech becomes rare.

How Fast You are Picking !!

Often people complain of getting bore,have nothing to do especially during holidays.Following note can be taken as a heed for those who really wish to use their time wisely.

Imagine that you were taken to a room which was full of gold coins. Each gold coin was worth a million rands. You were told that you have only ten seconds to pick up as many gold coins as you can. Will you ever say that ten seconds is such a long time and you will get bored?

It is obvious he will value every second in picking up as many gold coins as he possibly can!  We need to remind ourselves  that our life in this world, as compared to the everlasting Hereafter, is not even ten seconds. So how can we possibly get bored in picking up good deeds for the Hereafter, which are more valuable than the entire world filled with gold coins?

Imaam Jurjaani (rahimahullah) left out eating bread for forty years. He used to swallow flour instead. The reason for doing this was that he had compared the time it took to chew bread and the time it took to swallow the flour. He found that a person could recite “subhaanallah” seventy times in the extra time it took to chew bread, which is equal to about seventy seconds (Hilyatul Awliyaa, vol. 10, pg. 113). These pious servants had such value for time that they were prepared to sacrifice their basic needs, in order to prepare for the Hereafter. On the contrary, since we have nowadays forgotten the Hereafter, we have thus lost the value of time and hence complain that we are bored.

Extra food can be stored in a fridge and eaten tomorrow. Extra money can be kept in the safe and spent tomorrow. But extra time cannot be saved and used tomorrow. Time that has passed has become the past, never to be seen in the future. We need to value every second and turn our holidays into holy days.
