Finding Your Way: Stop Living a Dream

Bismillah..

Assalamu'alaykum..

Just finished watching a GOOOOOD video. MashaAllah. You've gotta watch this too!

Specially for those who are still in search of the truth- not knowing which path to take, how to trace and how to stay on that path you are convinced to be- TRUE. :)

FINDING YOUR WAY by Bro Nouman Ali Khan (NAK) with Bro Eddie in The Deen Show

"I  used to go to pub, disco, have girlfriends, doing this  haram thing and doing that... etc..."

Now you want to change. Or you are changing and improving (alhmdulillah!)

But one thing bothers you a great deal:

"Which path should i take? How to start? How to remain on this path i'm taking?"

You see, when we ask for direction, it means we are asking for guidance, agreed? And..... there must be people before who sincerely asked this same direction (that you are now asking for too). And...... there must be other people who led these to this direction/path. Uhuh. THERE MUST BE.

But the issues here:

• Some don't follow that direction given to them (but they asked for it before) tho' they are SHOWN the direction clearly. They see the truth but DISREGARD it, they IGNORE it.
• Some accept the guidance, wanting to follow the direction but they add 'FLAVOUR' to the guidance according to their own wimps, lusts, desires. Thus get confused and deviated (!)
• Some accept the guidance as the way it is, trace the path as directed and walk upon the same path of those sincere people who looked for same path.

May Allah protect and save from becoming those who deviate and increase in guidance. Amin!

Bro NAK's advice to finding your way to the truth:

• Be sincere to your Creator.
• Accept HIM as your Lord.
• Ask HIM (sincerely!) to show you the path; and
• Ask HIM to show you those who walked down the same path and succeeded.
• Ask HIM to keep you away from those who walked down the path but then get LOST-went astray or earned God's wrath.

What are our 'measuring stick' to know, maintain our search in truth?

Well.. you have to watch to know more!

SIMPLE FORMULA (yet dofficult for some people to do) to find and stay firm on the path of truth:

• Sincerely put time (and effort!) into doing this.
• Take yourself AWAY from distractions and delusions that take you away from this quest of truth.
• Since you have asked sincerely to your Lord to show you the way, BE READY to whatever you will get (be submissive), put your ego on the ground-as you might find the truth opposed to your desires and wimps.. (i believe this is the toughest part. May Allah give strength! amin)

Great analogies, stories and explanation he gave especially the one regarding our best asset in life: TIME.

It's scary to discover the real fact about time. SubhanAllah!

Brothers and sisters- WAKE UP.

"Once you have OPENED your eyes, don't let them SHUT again.."

A reminder specially made for me, before others...

Wassalam.

A very captivating, motivating, iman-boosting lecture! MashaAllah..

Few GEMs from Syaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda (You gotta watch to learn more!):

"..As you continue to increase your public presence; to raise you voice and talk out and speak to people, engage with the people-make sure yout INTIMACY WITH ALLAH also increases.."

"If i'm working a lot more with the community but i'm not also gradually increasing my time that i personally spend with Allah whether that be in prayer or that deep in thought or that be making zhikr or that be reciting Quran, just sitting there and thinking.."

"Find time for yourself with Allah alone"

"Your (personal) relationship with Allah, NOBODY can define that for you.."

"Hard to love without knowing.. 'Who is Allah?'.."

"Don't you EVER (DARE!) to despair from the Mercy of Allah.."

World in the Hands, Allah in the heart

Assalamua'alaykum!

A must watch video~

******************************************************

Ever wonder why muslim ummah nowadays incompetent with the non-muslims? Why are the Jews so successful, wealthy-in all aspects? Why not us to have the worlds, in our hands?

Ever think of struggling in becoming the wealthiest person in the world but having the thought "I shouldn't. Islam teaches us to be ZUHUD!"- are you sure that's how Islam defines zuhud? Or you are just confuse?

Ever wonder why we are taught to teach our children 3 things: archery, swimming and riding the horse (where most people probably say, "Preparation for the war, of course"...? Unnecessarily true. That's not the main reason!

To know you gotta watch this lecture!!!

(So excited and motivated! MashaAllah. May Allah bless syaykh Tawfique Chowdhury. Aaaamin.)

Muhammad's Company (salallahu 'alayh wasalam)

By Fatima bint Barakatullah

(A student of Islam in London)

My heart yearns to be in your company,

Proclaim your call, setting shackled minds free,

Defend your person, fulfill every decree,

Fight at your side, repel each enemy,

See your face, with its moon-like quality,

Would that this honour be given to me,

Yet, regret I must, I am not worthy,

Unfit to be in blessed company,

Of those for whom Jannah was destiny,

The chosen few, who were exemplary,

Hand-picked by Ar-Rahman, honoured to be,

Friends travelling with you on your journey,

Companions of your blessed history.

I swear, as long as there is breath in me,

In your footsteps will I traverse patiently,

Striving, longing for the day that I may be,

United in your blessed company.

How Do I Excel? Let Me Tell (Ramadaan) 3/7

Bismillah

ASssalamu'alaykum~

It may seem normal for us to say "i remember Allah, i mention Allah, invoke HIM at most time.."

Fine. Not a big deal.

But..

What if Allah says HE remembers you and MENTION you?

It's a GREAT deal for HIM to mention you out of all people!

Oo Allah, make us all among these people who YOU call and mention to YOURSELF!

Aamin.

Let's establish our relationship with the Book of Allah (Al-Quran)!

Let's race for the best aite? :)

Gotta Work Hard! inshaaaa-Allah

Assalamu'alaykum!

How many of us are DISTRACTED from doing what we've planned to do specifically during this Ramadhan?

Sometimes we need time for ourselves to just sit back and ponder(self-avaluate) upon what have we achieved so far..

Telling this to myself-first and foremost-before others..

Yup. We all want to go Jannah! inshaAllah!

But jannah IS NOT CHEAP..

Gotta work hard for it!

Think 'INVEST' not 'SACRIFICE'

Whatever we do, do them sincerely for HIS sake alone and in correct manners (based upon profound knowledge!)

Best asset one has=TIME

(So don't waste our time!)

Thank Allah that HE gives us chance today to work on our eeman. Alhmdulillah!

Let's booooosst it up more during this special month of 'SOUL-RESURRECTION'.

(As we are refraining ourselves from permissible acts. E.g. EAT and focusing most on important acts)

InshaAllah!

MAy Allah 'azza wa jal accept all of our du'a(s) and good deeds..

May Allah give us chance to dwell in HIGHEST palace in Jannat ul a'la..

May Allah build for us gardens near to habeebuna Muhammad salallahu 'alayh wasalam's gardens and dwellings..

May Allah save us from being among those who HE deprives from all the un-amaginable rewards HE stores for those people of success in the hereafter..

May Allah be pleased with us fiddunya wal akhira and save from HIS scary punishment(!)

May Allah blessed us all in this month of Ramadhan and give us grade A+ for graduating SUCCESSFULLY and with EXCELLENCE from this school of tests and struggles!

(A loud) Aaaaamin!
