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?

Why Muslim names with Meaning ?

Muslims must choose a name that has a righteous meaning, that will benefit and bring blessings to the child throughout his or her life. It is reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and by your fathers' names, so give yourselves good names." (Hadith Abu Dawud).
A Muslim child where ever born, and a person embracing Islam, used to be called by a new name, probably in Arabic. Names of prophets, names combined with Asmaul Husna (Names of God), names from history, and the traditional or modern names are being used in this regard. Naming a child with a beautiful and honorable name is very important. The Prophet always chose names with good and beautiful meanings, even telling people to change their names if they had unpleasant meanings.Give your child the best possible name. Here, you can find beautiful and unique baby names for muslims.Quranicnames.com
P.S: please don't believe internet source whenever you found a pretty name on any site please ask your native imam or moulvi or mufti Saab (Islamic scholar) because sometimes it's really hard to find the real meaning of the name .. I searched the meaning of "Ayaan " for my baby boy when am pregnant, and for my baby girl (don't know the gender of my baby) I really loved the meaning of "Ayaan" which is "gift of god" (many sites have the same meaning which has wrong meaning (google source) but when I asked one of my Arab friends she quoted Qur'aan "Ayat" : It means where, how & when from the Quran: يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
finally i found athentic website called quranicnames.com in this site "ayaan have good meaing in persian language its mean long light.so don't hesitate to put this name.:)
Ayaan was mentioned in Quran many times as أيان and it is an adverb which means  
(Where, how, which or when) not as a gift of Allah!  Ayaan or Ayan is a Persian name that means “long night”, “inspiration”. no meaing in Arabic language.

So my dear friends choose careful whenever you want to choose names for your babies on net :) if its a boy I want to put "Ayman"for my baby boy  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayman and its true meaning"Ayman" : "Righteous, blessed, lucky.And if it's a girl I want to put "Aatika" its really very pretty name..."Aatika" is Our beloved prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] Aunt's name. In total the Prophet’s (pbuh) paternal aunts were Affiyah, Umm-UL Hakim, Barrah, Atikah, Saffiyah, Arwa and Umaimah. Among the blessed Prophet's paternal aunts, Afiyya, Arwa, Aatika embraced Islam.

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.

A Piece of My Soul


Last week, I heard a talk in my laptop given by Hazrat ji Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad (DB),It was a brief yet powerful talk, triggering a lot of thoughts in my mind. Upon leaving,I sat on a bed for almost an hour and began to ponder, surrounded by nothing but nature.He began by explaining how Allah’s love for us is greater than that of a mother's love for her child. We are aware of how much our mothers love us and how their love is unconditional. No matter what we may do to displease them, they ultimately forgive us.Now consider how much we displease Allah, yet He still wakes us up each morning and provides us with the prospect of being a better person, of repenting. He gives us another chance to please Him. The love that Allah has for us is so much greater than we know. This is a vital notion, we fear Allah which we should, but sometimes we can forget that Allah loves us, that He is merciful, that we can repent and be forgiven, inshallah. The speaker used these metaphorical terms ‘all we have to do is take a few steps towards Him and He’ll come running towards us.’ When we make the effort to become closer to Allah, He makes the path easier for us. I have felt that, and I know it to be true.reaching this stage should have been tough.To let things go, to give things up, to completely change myself, yet Allah made it so easy for me, He paved the path for me and all I had to do was follow it. I knew where my heart wanted to be, where it belonged, in my mind all that mattered was that I wanted to be closer to Allah and He pulled me towards Him. Every action brought me closer, it felt so right and I wanted to continue down this beautiful path that had been laid out for me.As I was sitting listening to the speaker's words, I realized that I had already heard some of the things that he was saying, but somehow they had become lost in my mind. We can learn so much, yet implementing and maintaining these things can be difficult. Shaitaan is always trying to lead us astray; he distracts us from our purpose. Sometimes we become so immersed in our lives that we ultimately forget why we are even here. We forget who we are and what we are living for. I want to make sure that I remember Allah in everything that I do because without Him, none of this would be possible. These things that I have been blessed with are all from Him. Think about when someone wins an Oscar, they make long heartfelt speeches and thank the people that have helped them reach that point. Well everyday you are winning an Oscar and Allah is the one that you owe it all to, Everyday you are blessed with a brand new day, with time, with opportunity, with love, with happiness. Thank Allah.

Dome Of The Rock !! This is NOT Masjid-e-Aqsa(A truth about Masjid e Aqsa)

i here just want to correct the mis perception created by the zionests about masjid e aqsa 

i have received an email from my brother that contains really a hard facts thats how we are becoming fools in the hands of jews how they are going with there planes to acheive the things by false statements and by spreading missperception aabout the different things and what i am going to share with u muslims u ppl be shocked and really really it is important that to aware with the situation 

actually there are two mosques side by side Alaqsa and Al sakhrah

and jews media simply presents ALsakhrah mosque as AL Aqsa but both of them are separate mosques though near to each others 

look at al aqsa :



                            

                                  now look at AL sakhrah Mosque



now look at both of them 
actually the plan is that jews want to demolish Al-aqsa but they want to presents Al Skhrah mosque as Al AQSA to muslims so when this will happen they will demolish Alaqsa and will say AlAQSA ia alright which would actually be AL sakhrah

so at that time muslims would be fools

now dears of muslim brothers and sisters think over it and discuss it and spread it...
Location of Masjid-e-Aqsa and Masjid-e-Al-Sakhrah (Dome Of The Rock)
P.S :The plans of destroying Al-Aqsa Mosque started centuries ago. The biggest achievement towards it was the creation of Israel. Zionists believe it was the Temple of Solomon which the Muslims destroyed and built their mosque. They believe the day they will build their temple and place the Arc of Covenant(which contains the original 10 commandments) is when their messiah will come, the dead will rise and fight against the muslims and god will be on their side. To achieve this they are constantly making the muslims weaker and weaker with their imperialist policies and barbaric actions. They want the muslims of the world weak enough not to pose any threat once they do this. Hence we see the muslim countries like Turkey,Egypt,Malaysia,Saudi Arabia,UAE etc prospering who have become slaves at the hands of the Zionist whereas countries like
Iraq,Iran,Afghanistan,Jordan,Lebanon,Libya,Syria & Pakistan are becoming weaker.The founding father of Israel David Ben Gurion said "Friends of the Arabs are more dangerous than the Arabs. By any means Covert or Overt we must destroy them"

If you search on internet for Dome of the rock. You can easily find it. And no where is mentioned that it's Masjid-e-Aqsa.

The Power of Soft Words!






The Power of Soft Words

The slave of a king, once, escaped, and through a search was made, was not discovered. Later, when the fugitive returned, the king in anger ordered that he should be put to death.
When the executioner brought out his scimitar, like the tongue of a thirsty man, the despondent slave cried out:
“ O God! I forgive the king the shedding of my blood, for I have ever enjoyed his bounty and shared in his prosperity. Let his not suffer for this deed on the Day of Judgement to the delight of his enemies.”
When the king heard these words, his anger was appeased and he appointed the slave to be a high officer.

Moral of the Story:  The moral of this story is that soft speech acts like water on the fires of wrath. Do not the soldiers on the battlefield wear armor consisting of a hundred folds of silk?( The Bustan of Sa’adi )


* if you want to purchase this book  via online here  is online store English Translation of The Gulistan of Sa'di 



This book has recorded, by way of abridgment, some rare events, stories, poetry and accounts about ancient kings, spending a portion of our precious life in the task. This was the reason for composing the book Gulistan; and help is from Allah.
The Gulistan, or ‘Rose Garden’, of Saadi of Shiraz is one of the best known and celebrated books written in the Persian language.

'Now, while thou hast the power of utterance,
Speak, O brother, with grace and kindness
Because tomorrow, when the messenger of death arrives,
Thou wilt of necessity restrain thy tongue.
'
The author, having deliberated upon the arrangement of the book, and the adornment of the chapters, deemed it suitable to curtail the diction of this beautiful garden and luxuriant grove and to make it resemble paradise, which also has eight entrances. The abridgment was made to avoid tediousness.

I The Manners of Kings
II On the Morals of Dervishes
III On the Excellence of Content
IV On the Advantages of Silence
V On Love and Youth
VI On Weakness and Old Age
VII On the Effects of Education
VIII On Rules for Conduct in Life


At a period when our time was pleasant
The Hejret was six hundred and fifty-six.
Our intention was advice and we gave it.
We recommended thee to God and departed. 

P.S: at last i find online book ;thank god here is a link.This is the translation of one of the world's greatest masterpieces;

Who is chiragh dehlavi or chiragh dehlvi or Roshan Chirag-e-Delhi(Illuminated Lamp of Delhi)?

who is chiragh Dehlvi? what about chiragh dehlvi khandan(  Noble Descent ) ? must read this:))its all about my great great  grand father:)iam very lucky to born  in Syed Chirag Dehlavi family :)Alhumdulillah for everything:)this is historical episode told to me by my grand father&my dad but when just a thought on my mind "go google"&i got it about "

Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi (Rahmat ullah Alaih0

He was the spiritual successor of Nizamuddin Auliya. He is considered fifth amongst the big five of the Chisti order in India (the others being Moinuddin Chishti, Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, Fariduddin Ganjshakar, Nizamuddin Auliya in that order). His shrine is in Chirag Dilli, New Delhi, India.
Hazrat Nasiruddin Mahmud Chirag-e-Delhi(ca 1274-1356) was a 14th century mystic-poet and a Sufi Saint of Chishti Order. He was a murid (disciple) of noted Sufi saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya,and later khalifa, his successor.He was the last important Sufi of Chishti Order from Delhi.
He was given the title, "Roshan Chirag-e-Delhi", which in Urdu, means "Illuminated Lamp of Delhi"

lineage of 

Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi (Rahmatullah Alaih):

On the 18th of Ramzan falls the annual urs of Hazrat Naseeruddin, the celebrated spiritual successor of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya who came to be called Roshan Chiragh Dilli, the Radiant Lamp of Delhi. His Master bestowed the title for he lit lamps with water instead of oil, to facilitate the construction of a water tank after the hostile ruler Sultan Ghiyasuddin Tugh-laq banned the sale of oil.Naseeruddin Mahmud was born around 1276 AD at Ayodhya, where his grandfather migrated from Central Asia. The family traces its lineage to Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad. His father died when he was nine years old and was brought up by his mother. Drawn to asceticism, the boy spent most of his time engaged in prayer and fasting. At the age of 25, he abandoned the world and embraced the Sufi way. The search for a spiritual mentor brought the mystic to Delhi where he became a disciple of Hazrat Nizamuddin. Used to an ascetic life in the jungles of Awadh, the Sufi aspirant expressed the desire to return to a life of seclusion. The Master ordered that the disciple remain in Delhi, suffering hardships and indignities that people would inflict on him. A few months before his death, Hazrat Nizamuddin appointed Hazrat Naseeruddin as his spiritual successor.Hazrat Naseeruddin lived in Delhi for 32 years. Following the Chisthi tradition he kept an open kitchen where food was distributed. His early years were steeped in poverty. Shaykh Naseeruddin fought Muhammad-bin-Tugh-laq’s theory of the state and religion being inseparable. The Chishti Masters traditionally isolated themselves from the court, believing that engaging in government matters hindered spiritual achievements.Tughlaq made it extremely difficult for the Sufi to continue living in Delhi.The great Sufi survived three years after the assault on his life, dying on 18 Ramzan 1356. He lies buried in an area of south Delhi now known as Chiragh Dilli, the same place where Hazrat Naseeruddin lived and showed people the way to God.

It is the burial place and tomb of Sufi saint Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud. Entitled Raushan Chiragh-i-Dihli, which means the 'Illuminated lamp of Delhi', the saint died in the year 1356. He was a disciple of Hazrat Nizamuddin, whom he succeeded as the head of the Chisti sect. The village of Chirag Delhi, now an urban settlement gradually grew up around this sacred tomb and was earlier enclosed within rubble-built rectangular walls with gateways on each side, built by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq (1325-51).the main tomb of the devout saint is a square chamber supported on twelve pillars and surmounted by a dome with turrets on every corner. Like the dome of Mubarak Shah's tomb, the dome here also rises from an octagonal drum and is a plastered one. Several additions have been made in the shrine complex from time to time. At present there are several structures in the complex like the assembly hall (Majlis-Khana) or the symposium hall (Mahfil-Khana), apart from many graves and tombs of eminent personalities inside the enclosure. There are also several mosques in the Dargah enclosure. King Farrukhsiyar built one among them in the early 18th century to pay homage to the great saint.
