Welcome



"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).

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.
