The Sufi gratitude

Whatever happens in your life, no matter how

troubling things might seem, do not enter the

neighbourhood of despair. Even when all doors

remain closed, God will open up a new path only for

you. Be thankful!It is easy to be thankful when all is

well. A Sufi is thankful not only for what he has

been given but also for all that he has been denied.

Muhammad (S.A.W), The Perfection Of Character

The personality of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is the best example for us in every aspect and dimension. So when you study the Seerah of the Prophet(S.A.W.) you get a complete picture of perfection of human character. His beautiful character, social life, bravery and courage, patience and perseverance, truthfulness and trustworthiness, thought and vision, justice and jurisprudence, benevolence, and mercy paint the picture of an ideal human being. 

The student of Seerah will see the Prophet (S.A.W) as the great leader , flawless thinker and administrator, a great judge and provider of justice, unmatchable law-giver and legislator, exemplary leader of war, the most trustworthy businessman, a perfect citizen, the best husband and head of the family, a successful head of the state and thus a perfect human being in every possible way.

(Muqaddima Seerat-ur-Rasool (S.A.W) by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri)

When you Spoke the truth, they hated you!

It was always like this. When you spoke the truth,

they hated you. The more you talked about love, the

more they hated you.

How we see God is our reflection..

A quote from Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

Beautiful words describing the character of a Sufi..

A Muslim's connection with his Beloved Prophet (S.A.W)

If we compare the times' before and after the Prophet hood Of Muhammad (S.AW.), humanity entered into a completely new era. The humanity entered a new era of awareness, Culture and refinement that was never seen before.

The worst conspiracy against Muslims was to weaken their connection with the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. because this very connection was the driving force of the Muslim community and source of unity among them.  At a very personal level as well as at the social and national level, love and connection with the Prophet (S.A.W) is the lifeline of Muslims.

Who  Faaqa kash ke maut se darta nahiin zara

Rooh-e-Muhammad us ke badan se nikal do

This was the strategy to weaken muslims.

Man fears to confront...

Then again, that was how she was. She

never confronted the death of anything, be it a habit, a

phase, or a marriage, even when the end stood right in

front of her, plain and inevitable.

(Forty Rules of love (Elif Shafak)

That's what we are like manyatimes in our life. We don't confront things that we are sure going to come. Some call it hope but more than hope it is non-acceptance. Hope is when we know that we'll survive the storm, not expecting it not to come!
