Our relationship with Allah

Without Allah, life is not worth living, with Allah, life is worth dying for
- Sheikh Safi Khan

Let Allah be the guiding light

If you do not know the way,
Seek where His Footprints are…

- Rumi

A Slave’s Lament

I saw the glitterring wares of the marketplace
They were enticing, beckoning me to possess them
But I cannot serve two masters.

I have been His slave since the day I was born and will remain so till the day I die.

Bonds…

Of all the bonds created in the universe,
The strongest is that of Creator and creation.

The Ultimate Achievement

“O Allah, make my love for You the most beloved thing to me, and my fear for You the most fearful thing to me, and remove from me all worldly needs and wants by instilling a passion for meeting You, and when You have given the people of the world the pleasures of their world, make the coolness of my eyes pleasure in worshiping You”.

The Essence of Freedom

Let go.

Let go of the troubles that are plaguing you. Release the pain. Don’t you know that you are Allah’s possession and that He takes care of all that He creates? Who waters the lush foliage sprouting abundantly everywhere? Who feeds the tiny insects crawling here and there? Who brings up little babies abandoned by their parents?

Unburden yourself.

Your difficulties are not just your own, Allah knows them, He will resolve them. For you have been created by Allah, now he will fulfill your needs.

Trust Him.

“And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower”. [Surah Al baqarah, ayah 268]

Of Sunrises

Today I decided to see the sunrise. I wanted to see darkness give way to light, to mingle with His creations, all alone. With tasbeeh in hand, I stepped out murmuring “Ya Musaviru”, The cats were awake as were the birds. They seemed at peace with me. The sky was dark but tinged with purple, hinting that sunrise was soon to follow. Light breezes would blow periodically and I rushed to catch ‘em, race with ‘em..

Allah is so beautiful. His creations are perfect like Him. I wish I could understand Him with the little mental faculties that I have. My heart recognizes him, my soul is part of him but my mind fails to understand why He does what He does.

But then after all He is the Creator, I am the creation. He is the Master, I , the slave. But this relationship is not merely one of fear and subordination. For I love Him too. And whatever He does, I will continue to love Him with my last breath InshAllah. But I do not question Him. I cannot. For I do not know.

I try to use my mind but it fails to grasp what I know is true.

My mind questions, my heart submits.

Allah, please unite the two in submission!

The cats were hungry. I gave up my stroll and ventured indoors to find them food.

Perhaps InshAllah, I shall see the sunrise tommorrow…
