ummtaalib Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Any good that exists in the heart will make its effect apparent, just as a bottle of musk emits its fragrance. Nobody is really free: either you are a slave of Allāh subhaanahu wata'ala or of your nafs. Dīn is not about doing things to please yourself; Dīn is about pleasing Allāh subhaanahu wata'ala Detaching yourself from the love of the world will attach you to the love of Allāh subhaanahu wata'ala at-tazkiyah.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummtaalib Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Allāh subhaanahu wata'ala puts humans through trials to wake them up from their slumber, so that they may mend their ways. Hate the sickness in a person, not the sick person himself; hate the bad qualities in a person not the person himself. Evil always has a far greater effect than good, just as a single drop of impurity spoils a whole container of clean water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummtaalib Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 To work hard in acquiring knowledge is in your control, but to preserve that knowledge is not. Allāh Subhaanahu wata'ala looks at how hard you try and rewards you accordingly. When reading books or listening to lectures, make sure they are works of authentic, reliable and pious scholars, for reading people’s material or listening to their lectures is like sitting in their company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummtaalib Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 We are slaves of Allah subhaanhu wata’ala and if He says perform salaat on time in Leicester, we obey and if He says delay Maghrib salaat on the day of Arafat till Isha time, we obey. If He says do not worship or revere a stone, we obey, and if He says circumambulate the brick building (the Ka’bah) and kiss the Hajare Aswad (Black Stone), we obey because our maqsad (objective) is not the stone, our maqsad is the Creator of the stone we obey! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummtaalib Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The True Effect of Dhikr “Some people, when they start to carry out the prescribed practices, dhikr etc. expect to undergo extraordinary feelings and to enjoy certain spiritual highs. This is all a misconception. The true effect of dhikr is that inclination towards the World lessens and inclination towards the Hereafter increases.” Source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummtaalib Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 "A person is mindful of every penny despite being wealthy. If he drops a ten-pence coin he will search for it and retrieve it. Yet the person is completely unmindful of the valuable asset of time. He will spend hours, days, weeks, months and even years in Laghw!" *Laghw is those actions which even though they are not sinful, they are non beneficial in this world and in the hereafter and therefore a waste of time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummtaalib Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Our hearts are the same hearts which were given to Junaid Baghdadi and Abdul Qadir Jilani because Allah is just. They made effort at purification and became Shaykh Junaid Baghdadi and Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani. We have in our minds that we do not have the capabilities and therefore we do even make the effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummtaalib Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Utilising means other than the dhikr of Allāh ta'ālā to acquire peace of heart is akin to brushing your difficulties under the carpet. The unease, despite being masked, is still there. It is just like being under anaesthetic; as soon as you ‘wake up’ you will realise that the pain has not gone away.

ummtaalib Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thermometer of Ikhlās A thermometer of ikhlās (sincerity) for those engaged in the service of Dīn: if you learn of someone else also doing or progressing in the service of Dīn, and this news makes you happy, you have ikhlās, otherwise not.

ummtaalib Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Muhammad Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam - The Best Shaykh Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh The Greatest Favour After the gift of Imaan, Allah Taala has not conferred upon us a favour greater than including us in the ummah of the greatest Nabi, Muhammad Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam Clear Sign A sign that our religion is complete and comprehensive is that there is not a single aspect of human life that our beloved Nabi Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam did not address in his twenty-three years of Prophethood. Special Ṣadaqah Everything related to Deen that has reached us, including every noble quality and trait, is a sadaqah of our beloved Nabi Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam. Without this gift, our lives would not be much different to those of animals. It is therefore necessary to send Salat & Salam upon our beloved Nabi Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam in abundance. Sincerity in Salat & Salam We should convey Salat & Salam upon our beloved Nabi Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam with great reverence and love, with the thought that although we have not sent forth much by way of good deeds for the hereafter, maybe this deed will secure our salvation. Rights Restored Rasoolallah Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam restored the rights of every sector of humanity, especially the weak. Sirah is Sufficient When talking to non-Muslims about Islam there is no need to go into detailed matters of fiqh; the exemplary Sirah of Rasoolallah Sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam is sufficient.

ummtaalib Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Allāh ta‘ālā has made certain things obligatory. He first gave humans the ability to carry them out, and then ordered them to do them. lf it wasn't possible to do them, he would not have made them obligatory.
