Attachment


Within the past few days, I have found myself reiterating the same thing to various different people, in regards to attachment.The wrong kind of attachment can be detrimental to one’s state of mind and can even go as far as ruining your life.I learnt about this through my own pain, some would call it ‘learning the hard way.’ The most frightening aspect was that I did not realise the enduring effects that this attachment would have. This is something that many people struggle with and it can be applied to any sort of attachment, to a best friend, relatives, husband,spouse... there are no restrictions.

As humans we yearn to be appreciated and loved. We love others in hope of receiving that love, we so often find ourselves heartbroken when this love is not reciprocated. Sometimes we become so attached to people that we allow them to fully occupy our hearts.We give them our utmost attention, our energy; we commit ourselves to them wholeheartedly. However when this person leaves,we are left with a void in our hearts. We are left to be empty; we drown in the darkness that we have created for ourselves. A pit of misery streams through us, the aching takes over and it appears as if we will never be happy again.

The problem here is that we have allowed this person to occupy our hearts to the extent that this person becomes our source of happiness.We have become reliant on this being. Therefore if this person is no longer around or is not making us happy, we drown in our own hollow of barrenness. The only hope we have is to turn to Allah(Almightyt) and allow Him to inhabit our heart. He is the only One that may heal us of our suffering.

Slowly we begin to realise that when we are attached sole to Allah, everything begins to hurt less. Sorrows do not wound us as deep;happiness is sweeter, all because we know deep down that everything is decreed by Him. We accept everything that comes our way with appreciation and we begin to direct our energy on focusing on the blessings in life, rather than the things that we do not have.We come to the realisation that the reason for Allah taking away this person was to demonstrate to us that nothing lasts forever, it was to in fact direct us closer to Him. We often perceive everything clearly when in a state of melancholy. We must believe in our heart and soul that Allah is our only hope.

Really ,solely Allah to make you happy, know that only He can truly bring contentment and that love should be sought from the Creator rather than the Creation. As soon as you start to adhere to this, stillness will soar through your being and you will feel that a substantial weight has been lifted.

Dear Almighty




Dear Almighty,
I've been feeling lonely these past few days. I'm just lost and I don't know what to do anymore. I can't stop my tears without any reason but to think about you. How great you are, whatever I got, it feels, how lucky am, but inside me reminds me of all the pain I went through in the past. It keeps telling me to keep it all to myself so I won't get hurt again. I can't decide what to do anymore. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.i don’t have to win every argument. But Stay true to myself. i Don’t compare my life to others. Have no idea what their journey is all about.Life is too short not to enjoy it. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… I know you never blinks. I Believe in miracles.After typing all this stuff i just realised that I'm blessed!!!

Sincerely,

-Me

Voice of silence with unspoken words

We wake up each day with the whole day ahead of us, we have so much free time yet we do not make use of it. Life consumes us and we waste away our seconds. We spend time doing such pointless things, we must remember that we are going to be held accountable for our actions, do we really want to sit and waste precious time? Allah is blessing us again and again, every day He gives us a new chance, yet we continue to sin.Think about how much it hurts when someone displeases you, and how hard it is for you to forgive them, yet look at how Allah continues to forgive us, again and again. He continues to bless us with our sight, our senses, with everything. Are we not so very lucky? As I was sat on the coach, I lost myself in the sky from window, marvelling at its beauty. It was at that moment that I truly realised the depth of Allah’s mercy. I have sinned, a hell of a lot, yet there I was, surrounded by magnificence, in good health, with the ability to do anything that I wanted.In fact I realised that at that point, I was happy with my life, there was not a thing that I would change, it was perfect. Allah chose me and pulled me closer to Him, He gave me the chance to repent and to better myself. It was as if I had to make all of those mistakes to realise and be guided towards the right path. Every tear, every ounce of guilt I felt, it was all wholeheartedly worth it,I felt euphoric. I had Allah, so I had everything.So many thoughts ran through my mind at that moment, but liberation was prevalent. I wanted to do everything I could to please my Lord,it was as if I had only just realised that Allah was giving me another chance, even though He had given me this chance a long time ago.In fact I had been making use of it; I just didn’t know I had. Sometimes we wait for a big sign, or indication, so we know that Allah has heard us.He hears, He always hears, and He listens, He always listens. Patience is the key; it is the key to everything.I wrote this a while ago and thought that I would share; it sums up everything I’ve been trying to declare. Instead of directly giving me something, Allah guided me towards something else, so I could learn from that, so I could gain what I wanted. Rather than just being given things,Allah made me work for what I wanted; it has made me more appreciative of everything that I now have. I feel more grateful than ever.When we want something, we work towards attaining it, it is only that way that we truly appreciate it and realise its value. Hence if we’re just given something, it doesn’t mean that much to us because we didn’t do anything to acquire it. In the same way, when you suffer for a long time, you can finally understand the worth of happiness and cherish it.I wanted strength, so Allah brought hardship into my life and taught me how to be strong. I wanted good friendships so Allah brought people into my life that taught me the value of trust and honesty. I wanted success, so Allah buried me in work to teach me dedication. I wanted happiness, so Allah took away everyone and taught me to be content alone. I wanted beauty, so Allah guided me towards Hijab. I wanted forgiveness, so Allah blessed me and showed me the right way. I wanted solace, so Allah guided me towards the Qur’an. I wanted positivity,so Allah taught me to be grateful.We spend so much time trying to keep others happy, our friends, our family, everyone, yet do we take enough time to truly please our Lord? Does it not make sense to please our Lord first? He is our creator; He can give us anything and everything that we want. Think of it as a hierarchy,Allah is right at the top, He is the most High, He is our Lord. If you aim to become closer to Him, everything else will fall into place.We must classify our priorities.I promised myself and Allah that I would do everything in my power to become closer to Him, to make use of my spare time, to be conscious of Him in all of my actions. I write this as a reminder to myself, so I can re-read this if I’m ever feeling lost, I also hope that you can benefit from it. Allah has made everything possible; He has blessed us with all that we could ever want. Sometimes we have moments where we are angry or annoyed, but these are the crucial moments where we must realise everything that we have, and in fact realise that we are luckier than others.We have everything, look at those lost souls that are still searching, yet here we are, we have Allah, He listens, what more could we want?

The beautiful struggle




Since my childhood I started praying and implementing Islam into my life, I’ve been trying to gain more knowledge.I would read books and watch lectures, they were all a great help in boosting my Emaan. Now? It’s been hard trying to strike a balance between gaining knowledge and then life itself. I feel like the more knowledge I gain, the more I can improve,and the more that I improve myself;the less everything else will matter. Knowledge can bring me closer to Allah, and by learning and implementing it, I can also share it with others.  I have really grown up in a strong orthodox Muslim environment and Alhamdulillah, I do feel like my Emaan is strong,but I know it could be stronger.Sometimes I can slip(mom and dad always push me back up).There is a war going on inside my mind and I feel like the more knowledge I gain, the easier it will become to suppress Shaitaan. 
I want to gain more knowledge and I’m going to make the time to do so. This is a huge priority.

Love

Manzil By Sheikh ul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya (Rh)

I recite"Manzil"(quraan different surah's very important ayah book) every day,
These are 33 verses of the Qur’aan which eliminate the affects of Magic and become a means of protection from Shayateen, thieves and harmful beasts and animals. (Shah Wali-ullah (RA): AlQawlul- Jameel)

Maulana Muhammad Talha saheb s/o Hazrat Shaykh Maulana Zakariyya (Rahmathullahi alaih) Says: “These are verses of the Qur’aan which are known as “Manzil” in our family and elders of our family used to practise/read these assiduously and ensure that all the children learned them in their childhood.

http://www.central-mosque.com/fiqh/magic_rulings.pdf (english version)

Here is urdu Translation (pdf) with Arabic verses.
