Solace

The heart finds solace
in knowing
that Prophet ﷺ loves one

State of life…

Too hurt to stay away from you ﷺ
Too embarassed to come closer to you ﷺ

I am sinner

I was ashamed.

I told Him,

“I’m a sinner.”

He replied,

“And I am the Most-Forgiving.”

Humanity and service

We owe it to ourselves to embrace humanity regardless of color, religion, region… We should remember that the price we pay to be inhumane is huge for those who understand.

As Muhammad Ali has said “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth!“

Journey

To read is the travel

Some journeys bring forth so much for the seeker

The proclamation of love

The lover’s proclamation of love seems meaningless compared to the Beloved’s decree of being loved by the lover.

Who is Dillu Ram?

Dillu Ram was a Hindu poet who wrote odes of praise and love in honour of the Prophet ﷺ. His pen name was Kausari.

Hindu Backlash
Both, Muslims and Hindus read the works of Dillu. As he began to increase in his devotion to the Beloved ﷺ, the Hindus accosted him.

They said, “What is the matter with you? You have disgraced the name of Hindus! You are a Hindu and yet you sing praises of and write poetry praising the Prophet ﷺ!”

He replied, “Do not stop me for I am compelled by my love!”

He wrote a beautiful couplet explaining his love:

Kuch ishq e Muhammad ﷺ mein nahin shart e Musulman!
Hai Kausari Hindu bhi talabgaar e Muhammad ﷺ!

Being a Muslim is not a condition for loving Muhammad ﷺ!
Kausari, the Hindu, is also a seeker of Muhammad ﷺ!

The Miracle
Towards the latter part of his life, Dillu became very ill and bedbound. News of his deteriorating health spread throughout India via newspapers and magazines.

It was narrated that on his deathbed, whilst surrounded by loved ones, he kept gazing at the door. After a short while, he stood up with his hands folded and asked those with him to stand.

Astonished and perplexed, the people asked, “What is the matter?” Dillu wept and replied, “The one whom I have spent my whole life praising has arrived! The blessed Father of Fatima ﷺ is here! And I have not even accepted his ﷺ religion! How generous my Beloved ﷺ is!”

The Shahadah
Dillu began to weep and conversed with the Prophet ﷺ. The Beloved ﷺ said, “Dillu Ram! Your time is almost upon you. Azrael is almost here! I do not want anyone who has praised me like you have to go to hellfire! I wish to take you into Paradise with me!”
He recited the Kalimah and then said, “O Master ﷺ! You have taught me the Kalimah now also give me a Muslim name of your choice! I can feel the Angel of Death is almost upon me!”

Dillu was then named Kauthar Ali Kauthari. Soon after, his soul departed from this temporal abode.

Salawat is necessary

“‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said, ‘Supplication and prayers are suspended between Heaven and Earth. No part of them ascend to Allah until prayers are sent upon the Prophet ﷺ.’ [Sunan al-Tirmidhi]

“It was also narrated that supplications are veiled until the supplicant sends prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ. Ibn Mas’ud said, ‘Whenever one of you wants to ask Allah for something, let him begin by praising and extolling Him as He deserves, then let him send prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ, then let him ask, for this (way) is more worthy and better suited for a reward.'”

Imam Husayn & tragedien i Karbala

https://soundcloud.com/profetensvej/imam-husayn-tragedien-i-karbala-shaykh-imran-bin-munir-husayn

På en skæbnesvanger fredag, 10. Muharram, i Karbalas hede ørken blev Profetens (fred og velsignelser være med ham) højtelskede barnebarn, muslimernes leder, Imam Husayn (må Allah være tilfreds med ham) og hans ledsagere, martyret på grusom vis, af den forbandede Yazid og hans tropper.

Hvem var Husayn ibn Ali (må Allah være tilfreds med ham) og hvordan har hans rolle i Karbala stadigvæk en indflydelse på mange aspekter af det muslimske samfund og tankegang? Hvorfor ofrede han alt for Islam? Hvad kan vi lære af dette? Få svar på disse spørgsmål i dette foredrag som blev afholdt i forbindelse med programmet “Husayn ibn Ali – Ahl al-Bayt og slaget ved Karbala!”.

After Kufa, such a wind blew to our hearts;
We never trusted any letter ever again.

Sufi’s book

The Sufi‘s book is not composed of ink and letters: It is naught but a heart white as snow. The scholar‘s provisions are the marks of the pen. What are the Sufi‘s provisions? The footprints of the saints. – Rumi (p. 131)

― William C. Chittick, Sufi Path of Love: The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi ―

Al-isrā’ wa al-mi‘rāj

From Heaven did Nûr Travelled to the Haram (Makkah)
Information about my sins reached the Karam (Prophet ﷺ)
Your ﷺ Mi’raj was such that no knows where You ﷺ went
My Mi’raj is that I have reached Your Blessed Feet ﷺ

A new Biography of the Prophet (salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)

I was very honoured to recieve this book in the post today – I must say that I am speechless. The beauty of this book is breathtaking and I am so honored to be able to have this gem in my collection.

There were only 313 copies printed and distributed, each of which had one of the names of the great 313 Sahaba (companions) of the Prophet ﷺ from the great battle of Badr written into each book.

I got a book that was dedicated to Sayyiduna Aws ibn Khanli ibn ‘Abdillah (radi ‘Allahu ‘anhu)Whoever managed to get a copy of this masterpiece is very fortunate indeed.

May Allah reward Love’s Pilgrim: A Spiritual Journey for presenting the life of the Prophet ﷺ to us in such a beautiful way.

The Islamic Year

The crescent

The Islamic Year begins with sacrifice and ends with sacrifice.

Dr Allama Iqbal beautifully writes:

غریب و سادہ و رنگیں ہے داستان حرمنہایت
اس کی حسین ابتدا ہے اسماعیل

Strange, mysterious and unique is the sacred journey,
it begins with Ismail and ends upon Husayn!

Storm is needed

Khuda Tujhe Kisi Toofan Se Aashna Kar De
K Tere Beher Ki Maujoon Mein Izterab Nahin

May Allah introduce your soul to a storm
since the waves of your ocean lack passion

– Allama Iqbal –

A traveler

O soul,
remember that you’re a traveler,
so don’t be surprised when your feet ache.

Light

If I cannot see her,
at least I can think of her,
and so be happy;
To light the beggar’s hut no candle is better than moonlight.
