Love of the Beloved of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) Mercy for the multiverse.

Beautiful tale of the Love of the Beloved of God, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), The Mercy for the universe and Multiverse, How the Prophetic Companions (Sihabah) loved him.

A companion came to meet the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) and said: " Oh Prophet of Allah! By God! You are dearer to me than my own life. You are dearer to me than my own family. And you're dearer to me than my children. Whenever I am at home and do not see you, it becomes difficult for me to endure, so I come to see you. Whenever I think of the time when you and I will pass away, It disturbs me that You will be among the Prophets in higher abodes in jannah and even if I enter jannah, I will not be able to see you."
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) did not immediately reply him and soon this Ayah was revealed:
(Nisa:69) "وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا
69. اور جو کوئی اللہ اور رسول(صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) کی اطاعت کرے تو یہی لوگ (روزِ قیامت) ان (ہستیوں) کے ساتھ ہوں گے جن پر اللہ نے (خاص) انعام فرمایا ہے جو کہ انبیاء، صدیقین، شہداءاور صالحین ہیں، اور یہ بہت اچھے ساتھی ہیں

And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) are the people who will be in the company of those (spiritual dignitaries on the Last Day) whom Allah has blessed with His (special) favour: the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the most pious. And how excellent these companions are!

The possibility of achieving the highest level of actualization exists only if we are surrounded on a regular basis with others moving towards higher consciousness.

In the face of overwhelming challenges all around us, the only thing we can do is make our little corner of the world more safe, welcoming, friendly, kind, caring and loving.

Don't hold grudges!

"Don’t hold grudges, even if you feel you are being treated badly, be the first to apologize.Don’t let the dunya (life) and little things hold you back, keep reminding yourself of your destination and where you want to get to. 
The heat and the fire of revenge you feel in your heart is the biggest whisper of Satan, don’t ignite the fire further put a stop to it. 
Don’t be a stone, become water, that changes directions when obstacles are put in its way and always reaches its destination."

-Shaykh Muhammad Saqib bin Iqbal al-Shaam

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

a single word can brighten the face..

A single word can brighten the face
of one who knows the value of words.
Ripened in silence, a single word
acquires a great energy for work.
War is cut short by a word,
and a word heals the wounds,
and there's a word that changes
poison into butter and honey.

{Yunus Emre}

Ya Nabi (S.A.W).. a beautiful naat

kamli walay mein qurban teri shan per,

sub ki bigri banana tera kaam hai,

thokrain kha ke girna mera kaam hai,

her qadam pe uthana tera kaam hai

Faiz jari tera ta qayamat rahay

teri nabiyon pe qaayam imamat rahay,

teri naatain sunana mera kaam hai,

mere gham ko mitana tera kaam hai ..

Saaqiya jaan qurban tere jaam per,

ho nigaah-e-karam apne khudaam per,

chor di hum ne kashti tere naam per,

ab kinaray lagana tera kaam hai.

tu ne qatray ko dekha gohar ker diya,

tu ne zarray ko dekha to zar ker diya,

tu ne habshi to rashk-e-Qamar ker diya

ulta sooraj phirana tera kaam hai. 

Never lose hope

My dear friend never lose hope
when the Beloved sends you away.

If you're abandoned if you're left hopeless
tomorrow for sure you'll be called again.

If the door is shut right in your face
keep waiting with patience don't leave right away.

Seeing your patience your love will soon
summon you with grace raise you like a champion.

And if all the roads end up in dead ends
you'll be shown the secret paths no one will comprehend. { Jelaluddin Rumi}
