The
mysteries of Your Love have driven me to Your door,
I hold
many universes in my Whole,
Some
say, it is mere pretence,
Some
say these are but the Imprint of Your Name the High
Which sizzles my very existence with Your Glorious Presence!
The
mysteries of Your Love have driven me to Your door,
I hold
many universes in my Whole,
Some
say, it is mere pretence,
Some
say these are but the Imprint of Your Name the High
Which sizzles my very existence with Your Glorious Presence!
When the Ocean calls me in its deep waters,
In it I find the Arms of my Lord inviting me
To the
unknown places of the Known Kingdom,
He is the King and I am His Subject,
Yet He raised me up high to the Pleiades of His
pleasure,
And made me a Prince of peace,
Though I am not His Son,
But He is etched in me like a fiery essence of Love
and Light,
Guiding my every step to fulfilment,
He is my Port of Call, my Haven and Heaven,
The pen of my Heart has written,
has written the thousand wonders
and the thousand Secrets
residing in my heart
The red pen of eternity
has tasted the black ink of its Lord,
The
master and the pen forming an indestructible pair,
In
the depths of the Heart revealing their interior,
So
brilliant and so dazzling
In the sun of his heart,
the master has found his Master,
Thanks
to the pen of eternity of his Heart,
The Master of the pious is at the door,
at the door of your Heart
Visible
is the light that shines in your eyes,
At the door of your Lord
you dwell day and night,
The
favourite of the humble you are,
In
this world you are not alone,
Because
your Master will always be there,
Your
life in His hands,
Your way in His footsteps
Oh elusive presence,
where are you
If you are not with me then where are you
My eyes are
illuminated by you
My heart is also
acquainted by you
Come and invite my
eyes and heart
Otherwise draw a
sword and take my life
From all the beauty
and gifts of the universe
I see naught but
half a life
Why not lose what
remains with you
As without you
I do not need a hundred lives
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim
Whenever I think of You, my Lord
I think I fall in love
It seems the earth is pushing
up
You pull from far above
Your grace and Charm is what I
like
Your bounties I admire
My eyes and heart are filled
with You
What is more that I require!
All the prophets (as) have taught the same truths, since Adam (as), the first prophet on earth. They are taught faith in God the Unique, Who does not beget and was not begotten, the existence of angels, of paradise and hell, the Last Judgement, obedience to the prophet, etc.
The beliefs have remained the same through the ages, only the rites of worship have changed and evolved according to the time and the prophet. But with the proclamation of Muhammad (pbuh) as the seal of all prophets, the ritual teaching of all previous prophets (as) is abrogated. The only teaching now recognized and accepted by God is that of His prophet Muhammad (pbuh), any other way being condemned forever.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) came into this world with illuminating spiritual guidance to bring everyone closer to their Lord. The very purpose and pure essence of his spiritual mission was to enable people to maintain a special friendship or relationship with Allah. It was by following in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet (sa) that the companions of the Prophet (sa) and those who were taught by them and those who came after them reached the stage of genuine submission of one’s soul to Allah and His commandments.
By earnestly striving to establish a direct relationship with one’s Creator, the savants of faith reach spiritual heights of Divine love- the special nearness and communion with their Lord in this very world, and became recipients of Divine inspirations and revelations. A Hadith-e-Qudsi reveals the mystical quest of every sincere seeker in the Way: “My servant keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him. And once I love him, I become his hearing, with which he hears, his sight, with which he sees, his hand, with which he seizes, and his foot, with which he walks. If he asks Me, I will surely give to him, and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely protect him” [Fath-ul-Bari by Hazrat Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani ].
Models of God-consciousness in inner life and performing service to humanity in every conceivable way in their social settings, the true Sufis were recipients of Divine love and revelations, enabling them to perform miracles of faith in service of the Islamic Way- rejuvenating the exemplary model of the Holy Prophet (sa) in their own times. History bears testimony to the fact that true Sufis - or great savants of faith imbued with divine qualities following in the Muhammadan Way- emerged among the ranks of the devout Muslims in every land.
Today, however, Sufism has come to mean different things to different people- far from its original spirit of Islamic devotional piety. Moving away from its Qur’anic foundations and Prophetic moorings, many self-proclaimed sufis and their simpleminded followers have turned graves into places of worship, and make supplications to dead objects. Dance, music and other innovations are found at Sufi shrines these days- representing the very anti-thesis of what the true spirit of Sufism entailed in its pristine phases - abandonment of the mundane enjoyments in favour of living in seclusion behind the curtain of Divine intimacy.
Recently, Mr. Muhammad Zubair from the Maldive Islands asked a series of questions to Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius on Sufism, Urs Sharief, and Dargah worship, seeking guidance on what is lawful in Islam and what is reprehensible for the believers to be wary of in this era of syncretic rituals and confused spirituality among common folks. Reproduced Below is the extracts from the Reply given by Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) to this gentleman, along with his questions:
The Presence of God
The warmth of Love is lost to him
Who takes to Sin and Vice
The Face of God is hidden from view
It’s this the Evil's price.
You see that He is far away
And cannot or doesn't see
You think of doing whatever you like
You feel that you are free.
The fact is this and you must know
Wherever you go and hide
Whatever you think, Whatever you do
He is always by your side.
If you can see the presence of God
The sin and vice will go.
For sure, He knows and sees us all
It’s this that you must know.
******************************
My Freedom
With head on ground
I pray to God
And there I feel so free,
I talk to Him whatever I like.
No frown from Him I see
I talk of this,
I talk of that too
I talk of everything.
My heart and soul are full of joy
As if they dance and sing
The Perfect Evolution & Revolution of the Ummah
Our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) had one worry which kept him awake during the nights in prayers to Allah (twt). He used to worry a lot for the progress and the quality of his community (Ummah). “O Allah, my Ummah, my Ummah!” [Ya Rabbi, Ummati!], he used to supplicate. This is indeed the call and slogan of love of this beloved prophet of ours (pbuh); his deep love for his Ummah caused him to always call out in his prayers to Allah - “Ummati, Ummati”.
From the abhorrence of disbelief and ignorance, this noble prophet (pbuh) led them to a perfect state of belief, and for that, they had to undergo several trials which transformed them into staunched [firm] believers.
As a Muslim and Khalifatullah of this age, as the Chosen Servant of Allah and the humble follower of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), it is my duty in this era to bring you out from your state of Nafs-e-Ammara [Animalistic State] to bring you step by step to the Mutmaina Stage [where you are completely pleased with Allah and Allah is completely pleased with you].
In the name of God, The Most
Gracious, The Most Merciful
Beautiful is the mind which comprehends
The
essence of a beautiful environment
Our heart and soul is deeply attached
To the essence of Beauty,
For, we were created Beautiful.
Light became light,
When Beauty was made apparent
In the heart of mankind.
One and all are from the world of
creation,
The world which a Creator created
Out of His own majestic and intrinsic Beauty.
What can I say about my
feelings?
I yearn to become close to my
Lord
Every prick and stone in my
way
To be removed so that I can
fly towards my Lord
I wish to be there where the world
revolves around my Saviour
I am no longer alone and lonely as long as my Lord is by my side
In a world much mysterious I
yearn for the secret of the famous sound,
I want to have those wings of
love which would surely guide me to the Omnipresent God
Taking into stride all my
chances, I failed on the way
How can You forgive me for my
sins, O Bountiful One?
The heart You know in all its
deepest compartments,
How can I regain Your Love, O My Sweet Lord?
Spiritual Healing
My dear Friend - Always Living One
Always powerful and Merciful One.
Please shower Your blessings with Your help
And guidance.
O my dear God, every single thing is in Your control
And as Your servant please protect me and Help me.
O my dear God, please do not ever leave me alone
O my dear God, I shall not ever forget You
O my dear God, do not ever forget me
O dear, the Perfect Healer
Only You are sufficient for me
Please heal me (only You suffice for me)
Listen dear
people! Without the Quran,
Man never reaches God.
Whoever is
unaware of this light,
Is not fit
for the eyes of the Friend.
The Furqan [the Holy
Quran] has a wonderful effect,
In that it
makes one a lover of the true Beloved.
It gives us
authentic tidings of the One,
Whose name is
the Greatest, the Almighty.
It draws man
towards the abode of the Beloved,
And then it
shows him signs beyond his ken.
It fills the
heart with light divine,
And cleanses
the breast thoroughly.
What more of
its excellences should I describe,
Suffice it to say that it gives a new life to life.
