The islamic Path

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you? ... You feel the separation from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up, embrace the fire. Remind those who tell you otherwise that Love comes to you of its own accord, and the yearning for it cannot be learned in any school... Hazrat Jalal udin Rumi ra

I yearn for happiness I ask for help I want mercy And my love says: ... Look at me and hear me Because I am here Just for that I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you Oh sweet bitterness I will soothe you and heal you I will bring you roses I, too, have been covered with thorns...

I learned about love from your perfection. I learned about poetry and song from your beauty... Hazrat Jalal udin Rumi ra

Happiness is fragrant like a flower. It will bring good things to you Let your love nourish yourselves as well as others. Do not strive after the needs of life. It is enough to be alert and aware of them. Just by being ourselves, we are being borne towards a destiny far beyond anything we can imagine... Maharishi Mahesh

You don’t need to underestimate the forces which want to block you—they are great. They have armies killing civilians, they have terrorists wanting to take you back to the Stone Age, they have corporate agents of every kind of exploitation and repression, they have legions of seduction and distraction. But these forces are the fiercely negative entropy of dying worlds. Stare too long into their ey ... es and they will pull you into their catastrophic end-games. Spend your time in defiance of them and you will be spun in the inescapable vortex of their polarities. So by all means you can tell yourself the stakes are very high for they are. But once you know how high they are you will feel the surging energy of the future calling you anyway, and when you step aside and let it speak through you, and let it be you—you will create! And what you create will be Peace... James O'Dea

Before there was a trace of this world of men, I carried the memory of a lock of your hair, A stray end gathered within me, though unknown. ... Inside that invisible realm, Your face like the sun longed to be seen, Until each separate object was finally flung into light. From the moment of Time’s first-drawn breath, Love resides in us, A treasure locked into the heart’s hidden vault; Before the first seed broke open the rose bed of Being, An inner lark soared through your meadows, Heading toward Home. What can I do but thank you, one hundred times? Your face illumines the shrine of Hayati’s eyes, Constantly present and lovely...

Khaled Abou El Fadl, Chapter 36: The Sunna of the Beloved... If envy is a sin then I am the incurable sinner for I envy every eye that ever caught a glimpse of you. I envy the waves that carried your voice, and the air that touched your cheeks. I envy even the ground that once served you, and I confess to you that despite my indulgent sins, my shameful whimsies and ugly flimsies, I confess to y ... ou, "I love you." My confessions are as silly as my muted words. You have been loved by so many more substantial than I, and what good does my silence or confession possibly do? So many moments have I sat sheltered by the night in the midst of these books, my mind fulfilled but my heart calling for you. Only my shame restrains my words from filling pages of books and from whimpering into the night, "I long for you." This Conference of the Books, in countless days and nights, ignited by your memory, calls upon the world to ponder your legacy. Despite the citations,

Glory to He who Willed and Formed - His countenance, a gleaming Full Moon His hair, as the depth of night - His blessed head, Musk and Amber His cheek, dazzling with brilliance - And his forehead, blazing lightning ... His eye, enraptures the gazelle - His cheek, of morning twilight The guides countenance, resplendant - His eye, Kohl black His worth, exceeds weeping- His joy, sublime majesty His mouth-water, pure nectar- His spaced pearls, musk-scented His speech, the sweetest of discourses - His utterance, confirmed Truth Shaykh al-Manaawy RA

There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they encompass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)... [Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255]

Whether through death, loss, or disagreement, when we lose someone or something dear to us, we become overwhelmed by the pangs of grief; the pain of loss feels overbearing as though it would never end. Having to face the consequences of detachment can be a traumatic experience. All we can think of is the pain enshrouding our hearts and consuming our minds. With tears streaming down our faces, our ... faces contorted with emotion and our hearts too feeling as though a heavy burden has landed—the misery takes a hold of us and, blinded by our tears, we fail to see the light. But there is a light; a light to behold even in the darkest corner of the earth, even in the murkiest depths of the ocean. We don’t have to drown in the quicksand of trauma. Nothing and nobody by Allah’s Will subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) has the ability to overpower the underlying depth of: Inna lilLahi wa inna ilayhi raji`oon. To Allah we belong and to Him is our return. There should be no space for bit

The Sunrise Ruby In the early morning hour, just before dawn, lover and beloved wake and take a drink of water. She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more? Really, tell the absolute truth." He says, "There's nothing left of me. I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight." This is how Hallaj said, I am God, and told the ... truth! The ruby and the sunrise are one. Be courageous and discipline yourself. Completely become hearing and ear, and wear this sun-ruby as an earring. Work. Keep digging your well. Don't think about getting off from work. Water is there somewhere. Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring on the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there... Hazrat Jalal Udin Rumi ra

Those who regard things as determined by God turn to God in everything...

if you pass your night and merge it with dawn for the sake of heart what do you think will happen ... if the entire world is covered with the blossoms you have labored to plant what do you think will happen if the elixir of life that has been hidden in the dark fills the desert and towns what do you think will happen if because of your generosity and love a few humans find their lives what do you think will happen if you pour an entire jar filled with joyous wine on the head of those already drunk what do you think will happen go my friend bestow your love even on your enemies if you touch their hearts what do you think will happen... Hazrat Jalal Udin Rumi ra

The Prophet saww said, “There are some who see Me by the same Light in which I am seeing them. Our natures are ONE. Without reference to any strands of lineage, without reference to texts or traditions, ... we drink the Life-Water together... Hazrat Jalal Udin Rumi ra

And as His Essence all the world pervades Naught in Creation is, save this alone. Upon the waters has He fixed His Throne, This earth suspended in the starry space, Yet what are seas and what is air? For all Is God... Hazrat Farid ud-Din Attar ra

O Allah We wonder from one place to another Just to be with you Yet you are found in broken hearts The evening breeze carries the fragrance of your light ... It soothes us from the grief of seperation The sad and lonely were seen planting roses and drinking heavenly wine The soul flowers were blooming everywhere Only your presence will revive our hearts and empty us of all our worries We awaken to the sound of your praise and sleep by your secret ecstasy Open to us the way of the holy ones Those who have sailed the oceans of your love The only solace we have is your love Your the One we crave Your the One we need You alone we worship You alone we ask for help...

Dua for removing anxiety

All praise is for Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammed May Allah send peace and blessings upon him. After Allah and his Messenger May Allah send peace and blessings upon him, the most beloved and respected person to a Muslim should be his MOTHER! Allah has given the mother such status that He says, “ Paradise lies under the feet of mothers.” ... Your mother is not a Prophet, nor is she an angel; she’s just a human like you and I, but Allah has ordered you to be obedient towards your mother The Quran and Hadith on Mothers The Quran 1. "We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth" (46:15).

O bird of the morning, learn love from the moth Because it burnt, lost its life, and found no voice. These pretenders are ignorantly in search of Him, Because he who obtained knowledge has not returned... Sheikh Muslih-uddin Sa'di Shirazi - The Gulistan of Sadi
