Living on a leaf¿

Living on a leaf¿¿¿

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

Understand Tasawwuf

Understand Tasawwuf 

Moulana Thanwi Rahmatullah alayh said there isn't a single Aayat, a single Hadith in which there isn't Tasawwuf but He says people haven't understood Tasawwuf. What many people; even good, learned people understand Tasawwuf to be? Karaamat. What is karaamat? Honor, Allah gave you honor. But technically we say, karaamat, something out of the ordinary. Like if we have to hear somebody; there's some Buzurg and he flies in the air, all of us will say, "we must go make his ziyaarat, what a great Buzurg!" But the fly also flies in the air and nobody will say a fly is a big Buzurg and "Mr fly please I want to become Bay'at with you, you will give me Ma'rifat of Allah you will teach me, that you fly in the air, what a big Buzurg!" or a mosquito, hey, infact you kill the flies and mosquitoes and if karaamat is to walk on the water, then a fish swims in and how it swims also. So that is also nothing, if we hear some Buzurg is walking on the water, hey he's a great Buzurg man, but it's nothing that.

What is Tasawwuf? Moulana Thanwi Rahmatullah alayh said that Ma'loomat; what you know; Ma'loomaat, make it Ma'moolaat; practice on it. That is all what Tasawwuf is, that you have to practice on it.

To become a great Aalim

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.

Grafting

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...

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.

The 'Ibrat

Spiritual Constipation

(Part 3)

The important thing for us now is 'ibrat, the point of lesson: 

When the animals-fowls are given struggle and all Allah's Rahmat then stops coming on you; and this is the condition of treatment with animals; then those people who treat the creation of Allah-mankind{Muslim or even non-Muslim}, whether it's your worker or your wife {who is like a prisoner in your house, she's in your Nikaah and she can't run away if she wants to}, what will happen? or your parents especially when they are aged, they brought you up, they put you on your feet, they gave you your education, now they are old and you treat them in a bad way?! 

This is the cause of our problems in many many cases; treating other creation of Allah in a bad way and thinking we are better, this is where our problems come. So we have to be very careful. We have to make Taubah and where possible go ask those people for maaf, and where not possible, give some Sadaqa and pass the Thawaab to them {even if they are non-Muslim, they will get the benefit in Dunya}.

When just for the fowls that was the condition, then for these people what will be the condition??? Take a lesson!

Be very very careful in this, it is very important that we have respect for the creation of Allah Ta'ala.

May Allah Ta'ala assisst us all, Aameen.
