Problems..
Moulana explains: When you throw a stone at a low animal such as a dog, it even knows that he should fight with you, the thrower of the stone, not with the stone. So, when problems come, we should realise that it is from Allah Ta'ala just as the dog was intelligent enough to realise who is behind the stone.Find Allah....Love Allah...Jannah!
Those who found Love of Allah Ta'ala, all their problems are gone. They are free of worries because Allah Jalla Jalaaluhu will attend to all their worries, Allah Jalla Jalaaluhu takes over their affairs completely.
If you found Allah , you have found everything and if you ask for Allah, you ask for everything, becauase Allah Jalla Jalaaluhu IS everything.
Allah wants us to find him, but you have to be really desperate, then only will you find Allah. Tests will come, but Allah won't give you something you can't handle. Allah Ta'ala gives you a test that you CAN past.
So strive...and when you do find Allah Ta'ala, you will experience Jannah in your heart!!
Sacrificing our Desires
.jpg)
When you sacrifice yourself for Allah, your sins fall off like leaves falling off the trees in autumn, you don't even need to shake the branch. Sins will just fall away and you will develop dislike for it. You won't enjoy associating with the kuffaar, you'll hate it and will have to force yourself to do business with them.
There will be pleasure in giving up sin and it will no more be Mujaahada.
.jpg)
We have to sacrifice our haraam desires and the desires of our wives and children. Like let's say your child wants a play station-and it was brought to Moulanas attention when Moulana was in Cape Town- there is a game where you have to kick at a book, whoever kicks the most will get more points and when you look at the book closely , it is actually the Qur'aan Shareef. In other games you have to kill and when you see it is Muslims that you have to kill. In another game there is a sound , a sound which is a big nuisance, when you hear closely it is the Athaan. These games are not so innocent, and to keep our children busy they are poison, putting hatred for Islam like this without even us realising.
Dajjaal will come like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, if we didn't prepare ourselves we will just follow.
Your kids, you have to be with them, family is not instruction of laws on the fridge, you have to do this, you can't do that, no a family must be together, as one. Giving haraam clothes and toys is not love, true love is that you save them from the fire.
May Allah make us understand the reality of this, Aameen.

The downs in life--any problem or something which goes against our comfort and pleasure; is because of our sins. What goes wrong in our lives--realise--it is the result of something wrong we did. Things don't happen just like that, there is a reason behind it's happening.
However for the pious Auliyaa, Allah Ta'ala tests them with difficulty, hardship and problems. And as a result of this, their ranks are raised.
So when we experience problems, we should look at ourselves and check, "what am I doing to displease my Creator?" It is only because of my evil that Allah has placed me in such a situation. I need to rectify myself.
Sins are worse than urine and stool. But you can flush it down--then all is clean. When we commit sins, we are inviting the Athaab-the punishment-of Allah Ta'ala. How can we EVER find the enjoyment of Halaal in Haraam?!?!?
But when we see others in problem and difficulty then we should have Husn Thann---good thoughts---about them. That Allah Ta'ala loves them and is testing them like this, so that their ranks may be raised.
To become a Waliyullah(Friend of Allah): Just make taubah.
Because:
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!?!
One example Moulana Rumi Rahmatullah alayh gave; an ant, a small insect; walks up on a grape vine, comes right till the top, whole life it stays on the leaves, you see holes also on the leaves, it's eating it, and whole life. Moulana say if that ant could find a Sheikh to tell it "you made lot of effort you, from the bottom you came till here, whole life you spending, you eating you living on the leaves, if you just went one centimeter higher and you got one drop of the grape juice, your Subhaanallah should come out from inside."
Just like that as a student you did alif, baa, taa, thaa you did..... you did naazara, you did Hifz, you did Qirat, you did adab, lughat, Aalim,
everything, you become an Aalim you are now giving fatwas, you're a Mufti, you are doing Qiraat, you are giving bayaans, you are living on the leaf. If you go just get that one centimeter up and you get Allah's muhabbat, Allah's Ma'rifat, your Subhaanallah will naturally come out from; Ma Sha Allah, now my efforts have realized the fruit for what I toiled so long. So in Sha Allah do that.
~Hadrat Moulana abdulHameed Sahib, daamat batakaatuh
Graft it with the high quality mango by fastening the two branches tightly together, then see what you will get out of that.
Similarly we should fasten our weak hearts with someone who has a strong heart, very stiffly. Don't worry about comments, criticisms etc. Your heart and your Imaan will also become like the one you graft it to.
We need to graft our hearts; connect our hearts with one who has connected to Allah Ta'ala. Our weak hearts will become strong, {and we can graft our hearts even if we are far away too}.
Everything will change, like the mango, it is no more a weak mango, the price now is even different, the name of it has also changed and the taste too.
The Downs In Life
When a person realises that "I am faulty, I am the worst of all"; when he thinks low of himself, then Allah Ta'ala loves this. When a person realises "I'm wrong", then this is actually progress.The downs in life--any problem or something which goes against our comfort and pleasure; is because of our sins. What goes wrong in our lives--realise--it is the result of something wrong we did. Things don't happen just like that, there is a reason behind it's happening.However for the pious Auliyaa, Allah Ta'ala tests them with difficulty, hardship and problems.

Bi IsmiHi SubhaanaHu wa Ta'ala
We should always remember that Allah is the king of the day of Qiyaamah. He is not a Judge (Qaadhi) of the day of Qiyaamah. A judge that sits in court is bound to the law and the evidence that he gathers. He then issues a verdict accordingly. On the contrary the owner has the free will to do as he wishes without any restrictions whatsoever. He is not answer able to anyone. When Allah is the owner of the day of Qiyaamah then he has the ability to forgive whomsoever he wishes without being questioned. Another quality of Allah is that He is Most beneficient and Most merciful thus He forgives as He wishes, therefore we do not know the condition of another person.

How To: Become a Wali
To become a Waliyullah(Friend of Allah): Just make taubah.
Allah Ta'ala then puts the crown of Wilaayat, the crown of friendship on you. Now you just got to look after it, don't let it fall off, but then even if it does- no big worry, just make sincere taubah (then you'll get it back again!)
التائب حبيب الله ~The One Who Repents is the beloved of Allah. and
التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له ~The One Who Repents from sin is like One Who Has Got No Sin on Him!
Learn the Love, Mercy and Kindness of Allah Ta'ala- and this is from the Friends of Allah Ta'ala.
May Allah Ta'ala grant us all the Taufeeq,

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

To Become a Great Aalim
Moulana Thanwi Rahmatullah alayh; what a great Aalim He became; when his friends asked him, that we studied together, same Kitaabs, same Ustaadhs, how come you excelled and went so far? He said, with Kitaabullah; I read kitaabs also; I stayed with Rijaalullah and I learned, I read kitaabullah and I took the knowledge from Rijaalullah; from their heart; that is the main knowledge, Kitaab is to help us but Ilm we take from them.Mango Grafting
As mentioned previously, we need to attach ourselves to the real Allah Waalas to become become an Allah Waala.This is similar to grafting: Let's take two mangoes; one small inferior quality mango and a nice good quality long green mango.
How to make the small mango valuable?
Graft it with the high quality mango by fastening the two branches tightly together, then see what you will get out of that.Similarly we should fasten our weak hearts with someone who has a strong heart, very stiffly. Don't worry about comments, criticisms etc. Your heart and your Imaan will also become like the one you graft it to. We need to graft our hearts; connect our hearts with one who has connected to Allah Ta'ala. Our weak hearts will become strong, {and we can graft our hearts even if we are far away too}.
Everything will change, like the mango, it is no more a weak mango, the price now is even different, the name of it has also changed and the taste too.
Become an Allah Waala
How to become an Allah Wala?
It comes in a Hadeeth {something to this effect} that for everything there is a mine, so what is the mine of Taqwa? The mine of Taqwa is the hearts of those who have found the Ma'rifat of Allah Jalla Jalaaluho {the Aarifeen}, those who have connected themselves with Allah Ta'ala and who have found who Allah Ta'ala really is. Just ponder, how Allah Ta'ala is giving Rozi (sustenance) to the whole world, how Allah Ta'ala is nourishing and sustaining everyone! Automatically You will fall head-over-heels in love with Allah Ta'ala. So what we need to do is associate with the true lovers of Allah Ta'ala and we will also get the Love.
Now if we look at our palms (look into your bowl), we will see the two numbers (in Arabic) 81 and 18. Try adding these two numbers and we get 99 which is the number of the Beautiful Names of Allah Ta'aala. So here Allah Ta'aala gave us the keyboard of His Names, all 99 switches in our hands. So whatever problem you've got, just press the correct button. Whichever one you press Allaah Ta'aala's Tajalli of that quality focuses on you. So if you say 'Ya Ghaffaaru, Ya Ghaffaaru, Ya Ghaffaaru' then Allah Ta'aala's quality of forgiveness focuses on you. If one wants to be hidden and not seen and he recites 'Ya Baatinu (one who is hidden), Ya Baatinu, Ya Baatinu' then he will be hidden away.

Automatically You will fall head-over-heels in love with Allah Ta'ala. So what we need to do is associate with the true lovers of Allah Ta'ala and we will also get the Love.Our Bowl
Together with the effort we make on this path, Duaa is also very necessary. Allah Ta'ala takes charge of ones Tazkiyyah (purification). We have to make effort according to what is within our capabilities. The one who turns to Allah Ta'aala, Allah Ta'aala pulls him towards Him. Du'aa is a Great weapon.
All of us are registered Faqirs and we can't come out of that. All people; with whatever intellect they have. A beggar needs his begging bowl to beg. We are 24 hour Faqirs and we have our begging bowls with us all the time. Just put your hands together. Allah Ta'aala gave every person this special bowl.
The correct Aadaab when using this bowl; is to keep it in front of our chest with a little gap in between so Allah Ta'aala can see that this is a broken bowl and if He puts little all will fall out, so Allah Ta'ala has to fill up our bowls to their brims.
Then coming back to these two numbers, if you subtract 18 from 81 you will get 63, which was the age of our Beloved Rasul SalAllahu alayHi wasallam when He salAllahu alayHi wasallam left this world. So we got to bring the Sunnats of Rasulullah salAllahu alayHi wasallam in our lives.
Just be sincere to Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'aala will make us experience Jannah in this life of Dunya. May Allaha Ta'ala grant us all the Taufeeq, Aameen.
In our Kalima of Tauheed, the words "La Ilaaha" (there is NO Diety) come first then "illAllaah" (except Allaah), but if you think about it; Allaah should come first. So why is this such?
The reason is that first we have to take out all the filth from our hearts. How dirty our hearts are inside; how can we ever expect Allaah Ta'aala--who is Subhaan (Pure)--to come into our hearts?
When we say "Laa Ilaaha" try to take out all gunas. Clean your heart up. Then put Allaah Subhaan waTa'aala in.
We got to just put the matchstick of love in our hearts. Connect to one whose heart is already burning with the love of Allaah Ta'aala.
Just be sincere to Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'aala will make us experience Jannah in this life of Dunya. May Allaha Ta'ala grant us all the Taufeeq, Aameen.
True Love
We have to want to find Allaah Ta'aala as well as be sincere in this quest, then we'll see how Allaah Ta'aala comes into our hearts.

Hadhrat Shams Tabrezi Rahmatullah alayh made Duaa to Allaha Ta'aala; He did not want to die with this fire of love, he needed to transfer it to someone else first. So He went along as a rice merchant..............and.........as soon as His eyes met with Hadhrat Jalaaluddeen Rumi Rahmatullah alayh's eyes.....there and then the pure love of Allaah Ta'ala; which started as a ball of fire of love of Allah Ta'aala; was transferred to the heart of Moulana Jalaaluddeeen Rumi Rahmatullah alayh. From here what was brought forth? Thousands of lines of poetry inspired by Allaah Ta'aala--The Mathnawi Shareef.
Allah's Pleasure
The displeasure of Allaah Ta'ala is worse than the fire of Jahannum and the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala is better than the pleasure of Jannah. All enjoyments are secondary, and the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala is fundamental. If Allah Ta'ala is displeased, then everything goes wrong, and that is the worst thing.
The thought should come; that "is Allaah happy with me?"
We should repeat the Duaa of Rasoolullah sallAllahu allay hi wasallam; " wa lakal 'utba hatta tardha"; that I will keep on pleading and begging till You become pleased with me.
Think: O Allah I'm walking, hearing, seeing everything. Make shukr to Allah Ta'ala for all this.
"Bihamdikan saraftu wa bithambi'taraftu"(with Your praise i follow my way and i confess my sins) O Allah I ask your pleasure only, I have no desire for dunya. I seek Your forgiveness on the Day of Qiyaamah.
Make these Duaas with feeling and understanding.
May AllahTa'ala grant us the taufeeq, Aameen.
