Bound by laws
the same routine
Existence and existing fade
cataleptic, yet drifting
sun ablaze, wondering
if it should stay faraway
or pierce its fire
once more today

poetry like fragments
absent to hearts’ stirs
a wonder prefigured
..the common stranger
no inveterate changer
devoid of beating drums
remiss to trembling mountains
An eternal seal
in loyalty’s ocean
is why they call man insane

if His Self-Sufficiency
were to cast spots of glitter
a swarm of worlds would burn
no ordinary displays
of deception
presented as epic series
of exception
Ask the stars
about my state
a lowly sky still falling
hazy clouds keep dropping
rain remembers
salvation’s stopping
whistling at the new moon
coyly it would appear
marking the finest tune

You are the motion
O Keeper
I sail to You
Friend of my soul
in throes of poverty
offering Your essence
mercy’s shade of faith
powers that scenery denies
place to belong
spirit to breathe
hand to hold on
for You
all triumph.
for You
I fall.

”Love is one of the most subtle blessings that the Most Merciful One has bestowed upon humanity. It exists in everyone as a seed. This seed germinates under favourable circumstances and, growing like a tree, blossoms into a flower, and finally ripens, like a fruit, to unite the beginning with the end ”.

”Love is a natural and essential aspect of our being. But when it is transformed into ”true love” – love of the creator – it acquires its true nature and colour, and later becomes ”pure” pleasures at the threshold of union”.

When someone loves a person (spouse) for the sake of Allah, that love becomes pure and chaste, otherwise it remains just lust and satisfying of one’s desires, because without the love of Allah, all other forms of love is deficient, temporary, and has no inherent value.


Love is the most direct and safest way to human perfection. It is difficult to attain the rank of human perfection through ways that do not contain love. Other than the way of "acknowledging one's innate impotence, poverty, and reliance on God's Power and Riches, and one's zeal in His way and thanksgiving," no other way to truth is equal to that of love.

In the way of love, even a slight, imagined inclination of the lover to someone or something other than the beloved means the end of love. Such an inclination is forbidden. Love continues as long as the lover sees the beloved in everything around him or her, and regards every beauty and perfection as the manifestation of the beloved. If this is not the case, love dies.

The most upright among you are those who carry themselves with the finest conduct.

It is impossible to express love with words, for love is an emotional state that can be understood only by the lover.
(Fethullah Gulen)

At the twilight of life
A path is remembered
Pushing back tides of trivialities
Swimming through waves of freedom
Expectation upon expectation
accompanying beyond frustration
Reality is dandy
a mere sense of gravity

Every valley traversed
hasty phrase on bated lips
spun flames to dust
ashes to ashes
will gradually unfold
.. pulled away from exits
pinched from dead dreams
and eventually you behold
the same He perfectly foretold

Another day, another empty shell
laid to rest, await to be heard
a different tune, sung as a bird
try to scatter, attempt to dispel
while life acknowledged
... mir‘atu qalbi
Your Lord served you well.

[/COLOR][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4][COLOR=DarkRed]
Ibn Hazm ad-Dhahiri, one of the great scholars of Al-Andalus/Islamic Spain, states in one of his books matters about the relationship between men and women in words to this effect:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4][COLOR=DarkRed]


[I] "Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has created men and women from each other. He placed in between them a wall which segregated the two genders. Behind this wall is 'mercy" whereas the front portion of this wall is torment. In between the wall there is a door. So whoever wishes happiness, comfort, benevolence, and mercy from the opposite side of this wall, then he/she has to go through the door, and the door is marriage. And whoever tries to go to the other side through another way by knocking out the wall or breaking it, or by stealing some of pleasures of the opposite side, then he/she will have pain, worry, illness, and disgrace as his/her companions in this worldly life, and will have Hell fire awaiting him/her in the hereafter."

Eight things I learnt from Shaqeeq[/B][/U][/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]


[/CENTER]
[FONT=Garamond][SIZE=4]It was narrated that Shaqeeq [ibn Ibraheem] al Balkhee said to Haatim [al Assam- his student]:

You have accompanied me for a long period of time, so what have you learnt?

Haatim replied:

[I][B]Eight things[/B][/I]:

[COLOR=Blue][U][B]The first:
[/B][/U]
[/COLOR]I looked at the creation and found that every person has something that is beloved to him, but when that person reaches his grave, his beloved would be [COLOR=Blue]separated from him[/COLOR].

So [COLOR=Blue]I made the most beloved thing to me my righteous deeds, so that they may be with me in [B]my grave[/B].[/COLOR]
[U]
[COLOR=DarkGreen][B]The second[/B]:
[/COLOR][/U]
I looked at the saying of Allaah the Elevated:

[COLOR=DarkGreen][B]… and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts. [An Naazi’aat: 40][/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkGreen]So I strove against my self, repelling desires and lusts from it until it settled upon obedience to Allaah.[/COLOR]

[U][COLOR=Indigo][B]The Third[/B]:
[/COLOR][/U]
I saw that whoever possessed something valuable would keep it in a safe and secure place, I then looked at the saying of Allaah the Glorified:
[COLOR=Indigo]
[B]Whatever is with you will come to an end, and whatever is with Allaah will remain. [An Nahl: 96][/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]So whenever something of value came into my possession, I directed it to Him, so that it may remain for me with Him.[/COLOR]

[U][COLOR=Blue][B]The Fourth[/B]:
[/COLOR][/U]
I saw that people return to wealth, lineage and nobility, and they are all worthless, so I looked at the saying of Allaah the Glorified:

[COLOR=Blue][B]Indeed the most honourable of you with Allaah are those who have Taqwaa [Al Hujuraat: 13][/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]So I worked on attaining Taqwaa so that I may be honorable with Allaah.[/COLOR]

[U][COLOR=DarkGreen][B]The Fifth[/B]:
[/COLOR][/U]
I saw that people envy each other, so I looked at the saying of the Elevated:

[COLOR=DarkGreen][B]It is We Who portion out their livelihood between them [Az Zukhruf: 32][/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkGreen]So I forsook envy and jealousy.

[/COLOR] [COLOR=Indigo][U][B]The Sixth[/B][/U]:
[/COLOR]
I saw them taking each other as enemies, so I looked at the saying of the Glorified:
[COLOR=Indigo]
[B]Surely, Shaytaan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy [Faatir: 6][/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]So I left their enmity and took Shaytaan as my only enemy.
[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue][U][B]
The Seventh[/B]:

[/U] [/COLOR]I saw that they humiliate themselves in pursuing provision, so I looked at the saying of Allaah the Glorified:

[COLOR=Blue][B]And no moving (living) creature is there on earth except that its provision is due from Allaah. [Hood: 6][/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=Blue]
So I concentrated on what was due to Him from me, and left what was due to me to Him.[/COLOR]
[U]
[COLOR=DarkGreen][B]The Eighth[/B]:

[/COLOR][/U] I saw them dependent upon their trades, professions and health, [COLOR=DarkGreen]so I depended upon Allaah the Glorified. [/COLOR]

[B]Author:[/B] Ahmad ibn ‘Abdur Rahmaan ibn Qudaamah al Maqdisee

[B]* A summary of Minhaaj al Qaasideen by ibn al Jawzee in 488 pages.[/B]

The author states in his introduction: ‘…I came across the book ‘Minhaaj al Qaasideen’ by the [B]Imaam Jamaal ad Deen ibn al Jawzee[/B] may Allaah have mercy upon him, and found that it was from the best and most beneficial of books, so I wanted to read and benefit from it. When I went through it a second time, I found it to be greater than what I expected, it was an extensive book however. So I wished to summarize it with these concise notes, which contain all its objectives and benefits… [/SIZE][/FONT]

Tell me Tell me Tell me
Where is my Destiny
Bloody, Bluey, Bleakly?
Or Bumpy and Breezy?

Tell me Tell me Tell me
Where is my security
In my Heart or
Not near like I thought

Tell me Tell me Tell me
Where is my End
Like a straight backbone, intone?
Or alone and blown?

Tell me Tell me Tell me
Where will the eye settle?
Lowly, lightly, Lengthly?
Or lofty and logy?

Questions, too many Questions
Carry on asking
Carry on asking
Won't know, Won't know
Question's will remain The Question

Mind restless, Heart Failure
Deep thoughts - No open doors
Sinking soul, deep Deep
Heart aching - Silent speaks

Vision good, Picture foggy
Energy Full, Machinery Faulty

Lonely, but love lonely
Classic, A classic story

Boneless, the Enemy
Hands, Tales and History
Ears deaf Eyes Blind
Eyes can see, ears but work

What nonsense, Who, Me?
Why must I deny reality
She doesn't care
He doesn't care

I am but Me but..
No..Could be
A possibility
I am wrong and I am right

Wall it is between you and me
Is it opaque or can you see through?
Cant tell, through that Wall
Show me, please quickly
The Block keeps blocking me

It is a diver
it dives deep into the sea of the core
When it finds the flair, it opens the door
if it brings him to the shore, it may spill over
Priceless devotions, buying more from His markets

You are Most Munificent
The Causer, the Reason for reasoning
sent down is every brand of seasoning
Then bear the holders
to carry above their shoulders
Those who embrace, evade this jalal

Confronted with bala’, he says You debase him
a sign of ni’ma, and You honour him.
Alas ..the realm is left in darkness
But when we unite them, they grow and blossom
from buds to flowers; they are most awesome

Enter this caravan in order to return
impassable, it will soon be
join this opening, making blood burn
let not dimensions, cause concern

Oh Allah, let this tree remain
allow the life of it to be within my view
For without an echo, devoid of sound
come old age and youth
it is my being,
My unclothed truth.

Just as you do
So does he
But your doing is his doing
Devoid of your realisation
So intend as you please
You will be judged accordingly
