Safety from Hidden shirk

A Dangerous Disease

There are two diseases which a very few people are saved from. Even the pious are caught up in it. They are:
*Gheebat
*Shirk-e-Khafi (minor shirk)--doing things for show. 

More faster and deeper than a black ant crawling on a black stone on a black dark night Riya kari {to do things for show} comes into a person. It enters so subtly; in everything. A man might just mention to his wife that he gave a R10 to a poor beggar. He wants her to praise him, that's all. Riya kari is very very hidden and is a very dangerous disease. A person himself doesn't know. He sells his A'maal for little praise.

Until you don't come in the company of the pious you won't get sincerity. 

So Abu Bakr RadhiyAllahu anhu asked Rasoolullah SallAllahu alayhi wa sallam as to what is the way out(how to be saved from this?)Rasoolullah SallAllahu alayhi wa sallam taught Him a Dua so that we may be saved from the little of it and from the lot of it, from the big of it and from the small of it.

اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّي اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَ اَنَا اَعْلَمُ وَ اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا اَعْلَمُ

"O Allah, I seek protection in You from that I ascribe partners to You knowingly and i seek forgiveness from You for those things which i do not know"

Sometimes nafs overpowers you and you do want praises. Sometimes you do it knowingly and sometimes you don't even realise.

A person who reads this regularly will have guranteed safety from shirk, inshaAllah Make sure to make it a point to read this Dua every day.

May Allah Ta'ala grant us the Taufiq, Aameen.

Great Days

Great Ibaadaat for these Days

We have now entered into the blessed days of Thul-Hijja. Most Hajees are in Ihraam now, we are to copy them in a way--we should not cut nails or remove hair till our Qurbaani is made.

Allah Ta'ala does not love to be worshipped more in any other days, than in theses first ten days of Thul-Hijja. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “There is no virtuous deed carried out in any day of the year that can be equal to the reward of (that  virtuous deed) carried out in these ten days of Dhul Hijja”. The Sahabah asked, “Not even Jihaad?” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied, “Not even Jihaad, except for the one who endangers his life and wealth (in Jihad) and does not return with anything (i.e. the Jihad carried out in the ten days of Dhul Hijja is more virtuous than Jihad during the rest of the year except for that Mujaahid  
who gains martyrdom)

The greatest wazifa for these days is the fourth kalima in abundance. All the Ambiyaa (alayhimusalaam) would read it. In a Hadeeth--the Ibaadah for these days is the recitation of the third Kalima.

Each fast during these first 10 days of Thul Hijja is equal to one year's fast. If you can not keep all then try your best to keep the fast of the ninth of Thul-Hijja, as sins of one past year and one future year are forgiven. 

The reward of the Ibaadah in these nights are equal to the reward of Ibaadah of Laylatul Qadr. Minimum Ibaadah--read Esha and Fajr Salaah with Jamaat. Try and perform Tahajjud after the Esha Salaah. Try performing Salaatut Tasbeeh.

May Allah Ta'ala grant us the ability, Aameen.

Greeting

Assalaamu alaykum...

Before starting the day, one should make Niyyah (intention) that he will make Salaam to as many people as possible. One who makes salaam with twenty people then passes away on that day will enter Jannat. By just making the Niyyah one will get rewarded whether one greeted the twenty people or not.

Benefit of this Silsila

Benefit of The Silsilah

In this weeks Tuesday majliis, Moulana Daamat Barakatuhum mentioned that Haji Imdaadullah RahmatullahAlayh made Dua that whoever enters into this silsila Allah Ta'ala should give them a good Maut (death).

Alhamdulillah the acceptance of this Dua has been clearly shown; Our Friend Moulana Ahmed Seedat (known for his excellent recitations) passed away last Friday. 

SubhanAllah! and what a death! About fifteen to twenty minutes before leaving this world, Moulana was repeating the Kalima-As'hadu allaa Ilaha IlAllah....Then Moulana raised his hands and said {something to this effect} "where are you going, take me with you" Moulana's Mother then said something to which Moulana replied with an answer which clearly showed that there was a third-party present. Who could this have been? Allah alone knows but it appears as if Moulana was conversing with the Angels! SubhanAllah! and to complete the excellence; it was The Mubaarak day of Jumu'ah! 

Allahu Akbar! Allah is truly the Greatest!

May Allah Ta'ala bless us all with such a Wonderful Ending too. May Allah Ta'ala raise Moulana Ahmad's ranks  and elevate Moulana's status, May Allah Ta'ala transform his grave into a garden from the Gardens of Jannah, and grant Moulana's family a good reward and sweet patience. Aameen, thumma Aameen.

A Priceless Supplication...

A Priceless Dua

The greatest Dua to make is Duaa for Aafiyah, Moulana instructs us to recite the folowing Duaa daily:

اللّهمّ اِنِّي اَسْئَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ وَالْمُعَافَاتِ ادَّائِمَةَ فِي الدِّيْنِ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ

SACRIFICE

Sacrificing our Desires

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.

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.

A loss indeed...

إنَّا لِلّهِ و إنَّا إليهِ راجِعُون

We have indeed suffered a tremendous loss.

Yesterday, 2nd June, 23 Rajab, after Maghrib , Hazrat wala, Shaikh ul arab wal Ajam, Arif billah Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Rahmatullah Alayh)  departed from this world and returned to His Beloved Master and Creator; after several years of sickness; in Karachi Pakistan.

This was the Beloved Sheikh of our Hazrat Moulana abdulHameed (Daamat Barakaatuhum). Moulana was in Cape Town and gave heart-rendering Naseehat spurred by this incident, which truly should make us all ponder.

To listen, click on the following link:

NASEEHA ON DEMISE OF HADHRATWALA RAHMATULLAH ALAYH

Hereunder we also present Hazratwala's (Rahmatullah Alayh) humble yet profound Wasiyya , just so that we may ponder. What a great Man, what a great Wali He (Rahmatullah alayh) was.

May Allah Ta'ala bless Hazrat (Rahmatullah Alayh) and grant Him the highest stages in Jannah. May Allah elevate His ranks and stages and grant Him eternal bliss and happiness.May Allah be pleased with Hazrat, and may Hazrat be pleased with Allah Azza wa Jall. 

May Allah also enable us all to follow in Haratwala's (Rahmatullah Alayh) footsteps and carry on His mission. May Allah bless us too with that priceless love which Hazratwala had, which turned dust into something so valuable, more valuable than gemstones and rubies and diamonds. That which is given only By His grace and mercy, on whomsoever He wills, O Allah! Do make us amongst them! Grant us that love which dwelled in Hazrat's heart making Him ever so precious and valuable, bringing to Him so much honour and respect, and most important of all, Your Divine Pleasure. Ya Allah! Light up the flames of Your Love in our hearts and use us to light up others hearts too, Ya Allah, grant us eternal success, make it such that whatever we do, we only do it for Your pleasure, make us understand the reality of this world and make us work for our Aakhirat, and O Allah, make us prepare for the day when death shall overtake us, verily that is something that we can never escape from. Ya Allah! make us desirous of maut, make us want to drink from the cup of death, so that we may meet with You , oh our Beloved Master, make it a day that a beloved will meet his Beloved. 

Ya Allah, bless us, have mercy on us and please accept us, we are totally unworthy, but You are so merciful and Kind, please do not reject us.

 ربّنا تقبّل مِنّا اِنّكَ اَنتَ السّميعُ العليم و تُبْ علينا اِنَّكَ انْتَ التّوّابُ الرّحِيم

 Aameen, Ya Rabbal Aalameen.
