Lighting Up The Path...: December 2014

Your eating, dressing and the company you keep all have 100% effect on your heart and mind.

What Life?

What life do they give us?

TV, junk food, drugs this western life gives us. This stupidity that you built a nice beautiful house but now what you must do, you must go spend three days in a jungle in a resort.
At home you have your paak bed, good food, halaal utensils not what wine and pork was eaten in etc.

What life do they give us? We fool ourselves all the time. How many people; in this December period; don't return home or don't even reach their destination?

They are fooling us and unfortunately, we cannot see it. Islaam gives us a life of dignity and honour.

True Thikr

This dunya faani--perishable world- from all sides, only restlessness.
In the rememberance and obedience of Allah- the hearts find rest.

Not just five minutes Thikr and you have your peace, no, when you see a woman and you

(remember Allah) don't look- here's the peace.

If you did your Thikr and now you (forget Allah) looked at the woman, then you will destroy life. And if you go further then your marriage will even break up and you will lose your children. And if you have to die in this condition, then what!?!

Casting the evil gaze

When you look at the 'pari'- 'fairies' of this dunya, then your 'pareshaan'-'anxiety/depression' will only increase. The word 'pari' is in the word 'pareshaan' ((in the urdu language)).
Then you try to relieve yourself by holidays, going to resorts and you have to take sleeping tablets...

Western or Islamic lifestyle?

Western or Islamic Lifestyle?

Western lifestyle-- behind it all is just endless anxiety and worries, no peace of mind. Compare them to people living in a village - we think they are backward but they got no pressure and stress, living peacefully,
If you live a true Islamic life; you will have no worries like this.

For example: a woman's place is in the home- to see to the children and family.

She can do khidmat of Deen from her home but that too not at the cost of her family and children, even if she is an Aalima.

This is her true Islamic life, in this there is peace for her.

Fading...

Like how the beauty of a flower fades away, so too does the beauty of a woman fade away. Give your youth in the path of Allah and do not waste it.
The more you destroy and waste your youth the earlier old age comes in, and you will then suffer the consequences. All the eating out and cosmetics- the natural beauty Allah gave you?!- you thought you were making your life but you were destroying it.

So let every soul see what he has sent forward for tomorrow for the Qabr, what will meet me there?
