"In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful.Muhammad (May Allah be pleased with him) said

"Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:)
'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64).

Pakistan - Its Just The Beginning

Ever since the day the border line was sketched with the blood of more than 5 million+ Muslims on the subcontinent which brought the Kalima reciting Muslim Rajpoots on one side of the border and Brahma and Vishnu worshipping Rajpoots on the other side – Same ethnicity, same color, same language speaking people, while crossing wild river of blood were laying the foundation of such a state , of such a division which was highlighted by Allah the Almighty at the time of creation of this universe that there are two groups in this world. One is Hizb-Allah i.e., the Allah’s group and the Hizb-ul-Satan i.e., the group of Satan. Ever since that day, the haters who despised Pakistan, wanted to destroy this unique and fascinating nation.

In those days, dozens of countries of the world were formed in such crooked methodology that it was hard to believe why it was done in the first place. The Kurd who used to speak one common language and were together under the Ottoman Empire, were divided amongst Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran. Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Tunisia who stayed together for centuries, had same language, same religion, same ethnicity, but were forcefully divided. But the strange thing is that the country, whose creation lead to the talks such as: it will fall apart; it can’t stay on the world map for long; It had been formed on wrong basis, is none other than Pakistan. And those talkers including “ mighty intellectuals”, historians and writers, who thought that nations are made on the basis of ethnicity, color and language, their limited brains could not comprehend the fact that how was a country created on the basis of religion in such unnatural scenario?

Although, Allah the Almighty only categorizes this very division as natural and history has proven it on every turn. If today, you go to any “civilized” and “developed” country, after 9/11 circus your identity is neither Arab, nor Iranian, nor Pakistani nor Afghani but you’ll only be known as a Muslim. They now divide you amongst various groups on the basis of you being a Muslim, e.g. “Terrorist” Muslim, “Fundamentalist religious” Muslim, “Moderate” Muslim, and if you have got yourself blended into their lifestyle then you’re “American or European Muslim”. All the major books which have been published during the last 10 years, all the surveys carried by Rand Corporation, Broking Institute or any other large Think Tank, all of them are on the basis of this very Two Nation Ideological Division. One Nation is Muslims, and the other Nation is the “Humanitarian World”. Whether it is a Christian from Philippines, a Jew from Israhell, a non-religious person from China or a Hindu from India, all of them are one nation; “civilized”, “developed” and on the other side, we have Muslims.

Due to the fact that 50 years ago from today, the purpose was to divide the Muslims, all researchers were on the basis of ethnicity, color and the name of xyz tribes. “These are Iraqis living in Babul”; “These are the generation of Pharaoh living on the bank on Nile”; These are the Iranian generation of Cyrus the Great” and “These are the Indians Representatives of the Sind Civilization”. The whole world ranted nationalism on these basis and it was so deep rooted that even those who thought of communism as the system of entire mankind, even they kept teaching in their universities and research institutes for more than 70 years that the way to communism goes through nationalism. The term “Colonized Nation” was coined and was first of all used for refuting the ideology of Pakistan. The poverty of human beings or the capitalism was not even discussed rather it was said that some xyz nation has held back your rights. Even if 99% people of that nation are themselves being crushed in poverty, but still that nation was presented as a ruthless, rights violating colonial nation. Once this is done, then everyone is free to abuse that nation the way he wants, to kill their people wherever seems fit, and once ethnic hatred sparks a war then it ends like Hitler’s war which took with it more than 6o Million Human lives.

Another way how the enemies of Pakistan showed their hatred against Pakistan was by ranting that Pakistan was made on the basis of economic reasons. Muslims were poor in India. Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah was secular, he wore English dress. The ideology of the leader, on the basis of which more than 5 Million Muslims sacrificed their homes, business, lives, families, children, daughters, and even their parental towns, got themselves divided on the basis of religion, a country got created totally unique and different from the rest of the world, that man was tagged as secular, only because he wore pants and coat. If this is the criteria then hundreds of thousands of English men who embraced Islam over the years, all can be tagged as secular, which is nothing short of Grade A rubbish. If the division of India had to be taken under economic grounds then hundreds of millions of Scholars and Dalits (untouchables in Hindu Caste System) who had been living in extremely miserable animalistic conditions in India for hundreds of years, their country would have been formed a long time before Pakistan came into being.

Then the enemies of Pakistan say that “Quaid-e-Azam wanted to live with India by accepting the Cabinet Mission”, they don’t realize that it was great blessing of Allah on Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah due to which he was given the vision, the power and courage otherwise the creation of this country had been decided in the heavens way before it actually came into existence physically on the World Map. It was revealed by the Lover of Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam, Allama Muhammad Iqbal (R.A) during his address at Allahabad, where he did not the Muslims to run a campaign to make a state. Instead he simply announced a spiritual prophecy:

Those regions which are inside India and carry the majority of Muslims, an Islamic state is their destiny.” He added, “This country will become the resource of freedom for the occupied Muslim State of Central Asia.

And verily history proved this prophecy as true. This country took a head-on collision with the arrogant super power of Russia in Afghanistan. A great super power of its time was disintegrated and 6 Muslim Central Asian States got rid of the slavery of the USSR.

If we study history, we can clearly see that whoever tried to harm Pakistan, their end was made horrible by Allah the Almighty. For reference, you can see what happened to those three major personalities who were behind the separation of East Pakistan from West Pakistan. Even their families have been devastated and it is crystal clear in the pages of history. But still, this is the only country in the World whose “Intellectuals”, “historians” and even politicians rant the same rhetoric day and night that Pakistan can’t survive. If someone does this or that, Pakistan will disintegrate. They don’t realize that in the entire world, the very existence of this country is directly linked to the pudecity and dignity of Allah the Almighty.

This is the region, when its creation was initiated; the Seers and Sufis of this region formed the frontline force of the mighty Pakistan Movement. Enemies of Pakistan also take pride in their shamelessness by saying that if this country was created in the name of Allah or Islam then why did scholars oppose it. What a preposterous baloney! The majority in this country is of the Brelvi School of Thought and each and every one of the Brelvi scholars and Sheikhs were with Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Ehl-e-Hadith School of Thought were with Pakistan. Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Uthmani and Zafarullah Ansari from Deobandi School of Thought were with Pakistan. And even if they had not been with Pakistan, the Muslims were still with Pakistan except a handful of those who still today, keep thinking as they sit and stand, about when on earth will Pakistan disintegrate?!

Indian Pundits had said that this country Pakistan is in the crossroads of stars and the direction of Venus will nullify it within 60 days. 60 years passed by and Pakistan is still standing, getting more and more powerful day by day despite the most corrupt and incompetent CIA backed democracy sucking on its blood and resources. Now if you go and see any of the books written by these Indian Pundits, they are terrified. They are now making fortunes that in the end of 2011, the most powerful and dominant era of Pakistan will begin and collapse of India, till the time in 2013 when Pakistan will successfully attack and cause the fall of India. Although I don’t believe on these Pundits, but those Muslim Saints whose eyes can see into the dimensions of amazements, they say that the decisions of destiny are now becoming evident due to their crystal clear signs. It seems that in Allah’s Pakistan, the cleansing season has arrived. This season comes on every nation at that time when its conditions are about to be changed completely. Those who despise Pakistan’s existence and ideology are now bound to be removed from the scene. The nation which just would not pray to Allah, will now suffer from such horrible tests that each and everyone will scream at the top of their voices asking for Allah’s help.

This is about to happen. Each and Everyone will now ask fro Allah’s help. Each everyone will now ask forgiveness of his sins from Allah and my Lord is the most Merciful and the most beneficial of all. In such times, people are granted whatever they pray for, whatever it be leaders, peace and stability or prosperity. This is just the beginning. Those who are talking about patient’s death at the time when the operation is being started will be miserably disappointed.

Durood Wali

ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADININ NABI YIL UMMI YI WA AALIHI WABAARIK WA SALLIM.


"O Allah! Send blessings on Muhammad, our chief the unlettered Apostle and his Family Thy favours and thy Salutations."

Hazrat Shah Wali'ullah Dehlvi (radi Allahu anhu) said that his father commanded him to recite the above Durood Shareef as it was the best one.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu), a close companion of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), has said that if a person recites this Durood eighty times on Friday (after evening prayers), then his sins equivalent to 80 years will be forgiven.

This is a very important Durood Shareef which brings forth immediate success and satisfaction to the heart and the mind.

Hazrat Zarar bin Auzar (radi Allahu anhu), another companion of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) says that he used to recite this Durood Shareef and fight with the non-believers. In every battle, he saw that success kissed his feet, and he never lost any battle on any day.

Durood Sadaqah

ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIN ABDIKA WA RASOOLIKA WA SALLI ALAL MU'MINEENA WAL MU'MINAATI WAL MUSLIMEENA WAL MUSLIMAATI.


"O Allah! Shower Thy blessings and beneficence on Muhammad, Thy creature and Thy Messenger, and shower beneficence on all men of faith and women of faith, and Muslim men and Muslim women".


This Durood Shareef is a special one. Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (radi Allahu anhu), a close companion of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), says that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said: "Whoever does not possess wealth to give in charity, should recite this Durood in his Du'a. It will become a source of (spiritual) cleanliness for him".
Hazrat Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) says that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said: "Allah has said, 'If you spend I shall spend on you'". This means that if you spend your money on others - the poor, sick, needy and the orphan - Allah will give you in abundance. But, what if a man has nothing to give in charity? By reading Durood-e-Sadaqah, it will suffice.

Duroode Qurani

ALLAHUMMA SALLI WASALLIM ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI WA ASHABI BI ADADA MA FI JAMI'IL QURAANI HARFAN HARFAN WABI ADADI KULLI HARFIN ALFAN ALFAN.


"O Allah! Send your blessings and peace on Muhammad, our Master, and on his Progeny and his Companions according to the number of every letter in Quran and let each letter carry thousands of blessings and salutations in it".


This Durood Shareef is a very sacred one. If it is recited after every prayer, it is said that the reciter will receive the Sawaab equivalent to the recital of the entire Holy Quran. After reading the verses of the Holy Quran, this Durood Shareef should be recited 3 times.

Dorood-e-Tunajjeena Salawat Tunajjeena

ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI SAYYIDINA WA MAULANA MUHAMMADIN SALAATAN TUNAJJINA BIHA MIN JAMI'IL AHWAALI WAL'AFAATI WA TAQDILANA BIHA MIN JAMI'IL HAAJAATI WATU TAHIRUNA BIHA MIN JAMI'IS SAYYI AATI WATAR FA'UNA BI HAA A'LAD DARAJAATI WATU BAL LIGHUNA BIHA AQSAL GHAAYAATI MIN JAMI'IL KHAIRAATI FIL HAYAATI WABA'DAL MAMAATI INNAKA ALA KULLI SHAY IN QADEER.

"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our Master, and his Family such blessings by means of which Thou may relieve us of all anxieties and calamities. Thou may satisfy all our needs. Thou may clean us of all evils and thanks for which Thou may grant us high position and high rank and status in Thy presence, and Thou may lead us to the utmost limit of our aspirations and capacity in whatever is best in this world as well as in the world Hereafter, as Thou has the full Power over everything".


This Durood Shareef is always a cure for all calamities in the world of worldly affairs. It was taught by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) himself. To recite this Durood Shareef 70 times during days of calamity, turmoil and trouble, is a must. It works wonders.
The great Scholar, Saint, Jurist and author, Imam ibn-Faikihani (radi Allahu anhu) says that there was once a pious man called Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu). He embarked on a voyage by ship. Due to a heavy storm, the ship started sinking. All the passengers on board started crying and clamouring, but Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu) went to sleep. He saw the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) in his dream and the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) directed him and the passengers to recite Durood-e-Tunajjina 1 000 times. Sheikh Moosa Zareer (radi Allahu anhu) got up and started the recitation. As soon as he finished 300 Durood Shareefs, the storm subsided and the ship was saved. The other ship on the high seas sank, but this ship reached its destination safely and soundly. This miracle was a sufficient eye-opener for the members of the ship. It was by the Grace of Allah Ta'ala and Durood-e-Tunajjina that all were saved.
All the Saints have unanimously given verdict that Durood-e-Tunajjina is the best cure of all ills and all calamities of this world.

Durood Davami Salawat Davami

ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN ADADA MA FI ILMIL LAAHI SALAWAATAN DAA'IMATAN BIDAWAAMI MULKILLAH.


"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad, our master, in the number that is in Thy knowledge such blessings as may continue for ever eternal as Thy Kingdom".
This Durood Shareef is of a very great value. If it is recited only once, it amounts to all the rewards of all the Duroods. By reciting this Durood, one gets peace of mind and success in this world as well as in the next. After reciting this Durood Shareef, the reciter can claim that he has recited almost all the Duroods which are in this world known to the people. During days of upheavals, this Durood Shareef brings relief, success and true happiness. It is mostly the Saints and very pious people who recite this Durood after every prayer. They also recommended this Durood Shareef to all the needy.

Durood Shafiee Salawat Shafiee

ALLAHUMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIN KULLAMA ZAKARAHUZ ZAAKIRUNA WA KULLAMA GHAFALA UN ZIKRIHIL GHAFILUN.


"O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad and his children whenever he is remembered by those who remember him, and shower blessings on Muhammad and family whenever he is not remembered by the negligent, and grant him peace constantly in abundance".

This Durood Shareef is called Durood-e-Shafi'i because Hazrat Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhu) used to recite it constantly and he received glad tidings of Jannah in this world. This Durood Shareef is of a very great significance. It brings tremendous prosperity, health, happiness and success in this and the next world.


Hazrat Allama Sakhavi (radi Allahu anhu) has written in his book that Abdullah bin Abdul Hakam saw Hazrat Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhuma) in a dream after his death and inquired about life after death. Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhu) told him that because of the continuous recitation of the above Durood Shareef, Allah Ta'ala gave him the most exalted position of the highest grade in Heaven and forgave him. Hazrat Imam Muzni (radi Allahu anhu) has also narrated exactly the same story.
This Durood Shareef is of a very great significance. It brings tremendous prosperity, health and happiness and success in this world and the Aakirah.

DUROOD-E-FATH Salawat -e-Fath

The excellence of reciting Durood Shareef


DUROOD-E-FATH

ALLAHUMMA SALLI WASALLIM WABARIK ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADINIL FAATIHI LIMA UGHLIQA WAL KHAATIMI LIMA SABAKA WAN NAASIRIL HAQQA BIL HAQQI WAL HAADI ILA SIRAATIKAL MUSTAQEEMI SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WA ALA AALI WA ASHABIHI HAQQA QADRIHI MIQDAARIHIL AZEEM.

"O Allah! May Thy grace, peace and blessings rest on Muhammad, our Master, who opens that which is closed, and closes that which is preceded, who helps truth with truth, and who guided mankind to Thy straight path. May blessings of Allah be on him and his Family and Companions as according to his exalted position befitting his merit and his high rank".

Actually, this Durood Shareef is in the Holy Quran; but then it was kept a secret. Hazrat Abu-Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu), the first Caliph of Islam, used to recite it daily without fail. Some narrations say that it is because of this Durood that he was awarded the title of "Siddique" which means "Testifier to the Truth".

Hazrat Abul Muqqarab (radi Allahu anhu) says that a man's total sins will be washed away if he recites Durood-e-Fath for forty days continuously.

Hazrat Shaikh Muhammad Bakari (radi Allahu anhu) says that the recitation of Durood-e-Fath once a day relieves the reciter from the Fire of Hell.

Hazrat Syed Ahmed Hillam (radi Allahu anhu) says that Durood-e- Fath was the most favourite routine of Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam, Sheikh Abdul Qaadir Jilani (radi Allahu anhu) of Baghdad Shareef.

The great Saints also say that Durood-e-Fath is actual and real light.

Hazrat Sheikh Yusuf Bin Ismail (radi Allahu anhu) says that this Durood Shareef is the greatest mystery of Allah. It brings 100% success and happiness to the reciter. In fact, this Durood Shareef brings prosperity and favour and solves all the complex problems by the Grace of Allah. When a man recites this Durood Shareef, the Angels of Allah surround him, mercy covers him and peace starts descending on him.

THE BLISS AND PLEASURE OF LOVE

THE BLISS AND PLEASURE OF LOVE

after the

HEAVINESS OF STRUGGLE

THE STORY OF RABIA AL ADAWIYA'S STRUGGLE

Rabia al Adawiyah is a famous lady in the Muslim world from the time of the tabi?in (The
generation immediately following that of the Sahabah or Companions of the Prophet on whom be
peace) upto now; since the thirteenth century she has been a well-known personality in Islam.
She had the honour of being a beloved servant of her Lord, Allah Almighty, and we are honoured
to mention her name here and we are asking for her barakah, her blessing, for us also.


Look at those who are asking to be with their Lord; How they were. I am saying this so that
when ladies say, We are always in the background, men are always upfron ? no; Allah
Almighty gives you honour. Sometimes you may be upfront, also. That is Rabia, may Allah bless
her. Every night, from sunset to sunrise, she would pray one thousand rakats. Yes, she had
pleasure in being with her Lord Almighty always. But we say our prayers quickly, to run away,
if we even come to pray. Now in our time more ladies pray than men; if you look, you can find
that at this time they are more than men double. It is for this reason that the Prophet
Muhammad (sal), said that when the time approaches for Qiyamah, the Last Day, you will be
able to find more religious people among ladies and more among villagers than city people.

Rabia prayed every night, never becoming tired. The Prophet Muhammad (sal) said, My Lord
made me love prayer, salat, as I love my eyes. As he said, Prayer is Mihraj (that is, for each
individual worshipper, salat, the Islamic prayer, has the significance of an ascension to the Divine
Presence similar to the Holy Prophet's ascension to Heaven and to the Presence of his Lord
during his Mihraj) for Allah?s servants. He gives them the honour of Mihraj when they pray.
These are such people as understand what honour is, the perfect honour, and perfect pleasure
and perfect satisfaction and peace. When a person is with his Lord, he gives his whole life to be
with Him. For this reason earlier people (among Christians more than among Jewish people)
built monasteries on mountains. For what? To be with their Lord (that was at the beginning;
later they enjoyed themselves and fell down). Therefore, the perfection of religions is in Islam
and perfect pleasure for mankind is in praying. To the extent that people can pray, can worship,
that way is going to open to them.

Rabia would sit in the desert and around her deer were sitting and listening, yes; as a cat comes
and sits in front of you, in that way they were listening. They know the good people and also the
bad people, and the cruel people as to who they are. She sat reciting the Holy Quran and they
listened. Don't be surprised that those deer came and listened to Rabia al-Adawiah. Allah
Almighty says in the Holy Quran that when David (alai) recited the psalms, the mountains and
everything on those mountains and the birds would come and listen to his heavenly recitation. In
such people there are examples for you, O Sons of Adam, O believers. The path is correct; you
can go on it. But we do not go on it; we go after our egos. It is tasteful, going around after our
egos!

Of what are we in need? We are in need to be patient. People have lost patience now; therefore
they do not come to pray. Praying needs patience; if no patience, you can't pray. You must be
patient so that you may pray and you may taste. Without being patient you can't reach that
pleasure. Everything is going to be difficult at first, not tasteful, but afterwards it is going to be
tasteful.

Hu Rabbi! Rabia al-Adawiyah said, At first, when my sheikh gave me the zikr Allah Allah Allah
Allah Allah Allah Allah it was so heavy. But I never gave up my wird and my dhikr, as my
grandsheikh had ordered me. Allah Almighty sees when you are bearing that difficulty for the
sake of the love of your Lord. He opened to my heart from His divine love. I left everything else
when that pleasure came. Now no zikr can be tasteful to me except to say Allah Allah Allah.

What does it mean? O my Lord, I like to be with You, to be with You. But people of no mind
are objecting, What is dhikr? Animals do not understand about dhikr. There is a well-known
saying, The one who does not taste does not know. The one who tastes it, knows. All of you
are mature people except this boy. This boy does not understand what mature people taste; as
yet he does not know. Therefore, those people who object to dhikr, to tariqats, are still like a
little boy, children yet, not understanding. May Allah make us to know, to taste.

Now people are of two kinds. Some of them reach maturity and taste during this life. The
second kind of people do not taste; they go, they die, before maturity. They can't get into the
first group. The first kind of people are going to be with their Lord forever because they say, O
my Lord, I want to be with You. For this reason we say, Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah or we
say, La ilaha illallah, la ilaha illallah, la ilaha ill-allah, and dunya calls us, our nafs calls us,
Come to us, and we refuse, saying, No! La ilaha illallah, la ilaha illallah. I am asking for no one
else. When we are victorious, we will say, Allah Allah Allah, and everything will say with us,
Allah Allah Allah, the whole universe making dhikr. That is sultan adh-dhikr (The repetition of
the holy Name Allah is referred to here as the King of dhikrs or litanies of remembrance of
Allah Almighty). May Allah give us His dhikr's pleasure.

There was a lady, also, They are telling me to say for the pleasure of our daughters and sisters,
Grandsheikh Abdullah's mothers sister-in-law. She was always saying, La ilaha ill-Allah. La
ilaha Illallah. La ilaha illallah. La ilaha illallah. La ilaha illallah. La ilaha illallah, and if anyone
said something to her, she would say, O my son! O my daughter! May Allah also make as
tasteful for you as He has made for me this La ilaha illallah. Tasteful, sweet, La ilaha illallah.
La ilaha illallah. La ilaha illallah. La ilaha illallah. La ilaha illallah, with the rosary- tasbih (The
repetition of Allah's Name, generally using a string of one hundred beads (also called tasbih or
subhah) to count or maintain concentration). Even at the time of sleeping, her fingers were
moving, never stopping and still she is in her grave like this. May Allah make His dhikr, His
remembrance, tasteful for us, also.

The End

From Being Bored of Life to a Life of Spiritual Adventure in 3 Steps

Being bored of life is one of the greatest dangers in our life and our spiritual health. It is a symptom of spiritual stagnation, and is not taken seriously enough and seen more as a nuisance than a problem that needs to be addressed. Being bored of life will often be accompanied by depression and apathy, which are sure fire ways to get stuck in the spiritual mud and lose our way. Removing spiritual stagnation will eliminate being bored of life and lead us to the amazing lives of purpose it is our destiny to live.

Is Your Real Life Eluding You?
It is too common to let ourselves get stuck in leading lives far below our potential, in situations not worthy of us. Do you feel frustrated in a dead end job, a bad relationship, or just a general sense of feeling trapped or going nowhere in life? Do you feel like you have more to contribute, that your real life is eluding you, that there has to be more reason for us being here than to be cogs in a machine or a consumers? I know the feeling. We are a free and beautiful people that have been made bored of life by a lack of spiritual vitality. We must awake, must awaken the sun of our souls to illuminate our lives and the lives of those around us, to show us the way out of the prison we have created for ourselves.

The Way Out
The way out is to unleash your spiritual destiny. Conquer being bored of life and all of its siblings in your inner life, and they will be eliminated from your outer life. We conquer being bored of life in our inner life by always making progress and taking joy and pleasure from the new spiritual horizons that open up in front of us.
The problem many of us face when trying to make spiritual progress is a lack of energy and motivation, or zeal. We actually already possess all the energy we need, it’s just that we waste it in negative, mechanical, or unproductive thoughts and emotions. We must be like attentive gardeners and remove these weeds from our hearts and minds as soon as they appear, without sympathy or mercy for them, and throw them onto the rubbish heap. This will give us enough energy to make progress, and our very progress will generate more energy on top of that to create a snowball effect of inner growth that will cure being bored of life. Your inner life will become an adventure to an unknown country, a never ending challenge that gives never ending rewards.

Stop Being Bored of Life
Here are some action steps for you to take to hasten your freedom from being bored of life.

Step One: Recognize being bored of life as a symptom of spiritual stagnation.

Step Two: Stop wasting spiritual energy in negative, mechanical, or unproductive thoughts and emotions, learn to conserve it.

Step Three: Use the spare energy you now have and apply it to your spiritual practices, like meditation and inner growth, to create a snowball effect of energy that will carry you on your spiritual adventure.

Once you have captured this dynamic in your inner life, and all of your attention and effort has become laser focused on your goal of not being bored of life, your outer life will become a game. You will feel how small it is compared to the world you have discovered in yourself. You will find that the material world and everything chases you, instead of you chasing it. Problems due to being bored of life will be made small and unimportant, and answers will become clear to you because you will approach them from a higher level of awareness bigger than your everyday experience. Make this shift now and start a new life.

10 Prophet Muhammad Quotes: A Taste of Honey

Sufism is one of the great mystical traditions in human history, and has produced countless numbers of enlightened beings through the centuries.

“It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words.”

Supplication of Courtesy to Parents



In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Praise be to Allah, who commanded us to thank parents and to treat them well, and enjoined us to seek every opportunity to be courteous with them and to do good in their presence. He obliged us to lower the wing of mercy upon them out of exaltation and esteem, and He counseled us to show compassion towards them just as they did in our infancy. O Allah, be merciful with our parents (3 times), forgive them, and be content with them in a manner that permits Your divine pleasure for them, by virtue of which You grant them the abode of Your generosity and security, and the regions of Your pardon and forgiveness. Drench them in the subtleties of Your goodness and of Your perfect extension of beauty.O Allah, forgive them in an all-comprehensive manner that effaces their past sins and evil. Bestow upon them a kind of mercy through which their final resting abodes are illuminated and by virtue of which they are shielded on the day of terror when they are resurrected. O Allah, show compassion when they exhibit weaknesses, just as they showed much compassion to us in our times of weaknesses. Be merciful to when they break ties with You, just as they showed immense mercy when we broke ties with them. Care for them just as they ardently cared for us when we were young. O Allah, preserve the love that You poured into their hearts, the compassion that You filled their chests with, and the kindness that You occupied their limbs with. Reward them for the efforts they exerted for our sake. Recompense them for the struggles they underwent for our sake, and for the care they displayed towards us. Let it be a recompense that exceeds what is given to those who strive to rectify and to those who are sincere in their care and concern. O Allah, be good to them over and above the good that they showered us, and gaze upon them with the eye of mercy just as they used to lovingly look at us.O Allah, grant them what they omitted from the rights of Your mercy due to their pre-occupation with the rights of our upbringing. Overlook their deficiencies in true service to You due to their desire for being in our service. Pardon them for the doubtful matters they indulged in for the mere purpose of earning enough for us. Do not take them to account for their prejudice due to the passionate rage that overcame their hearts because of their love for us. Bear the wrongs that they committed due to the sins perpetrated on our behalf and that they sought after for our sake. Be gentle with them, in a place where one withers, in a manner that far exceeds their gentleness with us whilst they were alive. O Allah, any acts of obedience that You have guided us unto, and any good deeds that You have facilitated for us, and any acts of endearment that You have decreed for us, we beseech You, O Allah, that You grant them a potion and a fair share of it. And whatever evil we have committed, or wrongs that we have earned, or consequential misdeeds that we have burdened ourselves with, we implore that You do not attribute our sins to them nor take them to account for any of our misdeeds. OAllah, just as You made them happy with us in life, then make them happy with us after death. O Allah, do not allow news about us that brings them sorrow to reach them, and do not burden them with our sins that weigh heavily upon them, and do not allow us to disgrace them in front of the army of the dead through the shameful acts that we have innovated, and the reprehensible deeds we have done. Make their spirits happy with our deeds in the assembly of souls, just as the righteous are prone to be happy with the children of righteousness. Do not gather them on the plains of exposure because of the evil sins that we commit. O Allah, whatever recitations that we recited that You purified, or prayer that we prayed that You accepted, or charity that we expended that You made flourish, or good deeds that we performed that You were content with, we entreat You, O Allah, that You make their fair share of it greater than our share, their portion of it larger than our portion, and their lot more abundant than our lot, as You have indeed commanded us to treat them well and be thankful to them, although You are more deserving of goodness than those that do good and more right to maintain ties than those commanded. O Allah, make us the coolness of their eyes on the day witnesses take the stand, and allow them to hear from us the most beautiful call on the day of the call. Make them, due to us, parents who are the object of envy because of their progeny, until You gather us, them, and Muslims, altogether, in the abode of Your generosity, and the dwelling of Your mercy, and theplace of those You have befriended [

], alongside those whom You have blessed amongst the Prophets, the Veracious,the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And what magnificent company they are!
