Betapa indah sang Darwis malang setiap hari merintih,
Penyesalannya di pagi hari pun terdengar oleh
dosa lainnya lagi.
Segenap ikrar kami hanyalah kosong belaka,
Segenap sumpah kami sentiasa berubah-ubah,
Taubat atas pemberian-Nya tetaplah tegar,
Dan mantap tak tergoyahkan
Rabiah al adawiya~ Sa'di (w. 1291 M.)fii Bustan~
"Sedekat2 seorang hamba dengan tuhannnya dalam ketika dia sedang bersujud"
(Riwayat Thabarani).
Bertawakkallah kepada Allah agar meneruskan kita berada pada golongan orang2 bersolat.Solat itu adalah jalan.Maka lalui jalan itu sebab itulah yang Dia telah tunjukkan.Seperti kata Shaikh Abdul Qosim al Junaid:
"Jalan yang membawa aku kepada tuhanku...tidak sekali akan aku tinggalkan"
Di mana sahaja kamu merasakan kamu berada dalam zikrullah,maka sesekali Allah itu sentiasa berada bersama....
"So remember me,I will remember you!"
Hanyalah Allah itu sebaik2 penjamin bagi kita,dan sebaik2nya yang dicintai.Maka berkata seorang sahabat kepadaku
"Orang yang tahu itu tidak sama dengan orang yang faham,orang yang faham itu tidak sama dengan orang yang mengerti".
Maka untuk sampai kepada Haqq-al-yaqin,segala jalan mujahadah itu adalah keperluan,seperti orang yang menginginkan buah yang ranum,tiadalah ia akan mendapatnya jika tiada siraman air yang menyuburkan pada sebatang pokok yang diinginkan.
Ibn 'Ata illah al-Iskandari says:
"If you were to only reach Allah after the end of all your bad points and the erasure of all your thinking pretensions you would never reach Him. Rather, when He wants you to reach Him, He covers your trait with His trait, your worthlessness with His worth."
O Allah,guide me to reach your love,no other than You,no other than Huu
innas solaati wa nusuki wa mahyaaya wa mamaati lillahi rabbil 'alameen
verily your worship,your sacrifices,your very life and death is for Allah,Lord of the
universe.Everythings starts with Huu and ends with Huu.Huu Allah.No you,only Huu.
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call
Qul hu Allah hu Ahad.Allah hu ssomad.Lam yalid wa lam yuulad.Wa lam yaqullahu ku fuwan Ahad.
Surah al-Ikhlas
A'udhu billah hi minassyaitan nir rajeem,
Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem,
La hawla wala quwwata illa billah hil aliyyil azeem
There is one thing in this world that must never be forgotten.If you were to forget all else, but did not forget that, then you would have no reason to worry.But if you performed and remembered everything else, yet forgot that one thing, then you would have done nothing whatsoever..

Say: Shall we tell you of those whose efforts have been wasted in this life in respect of their deeds? Those whose effort have been wasted in this life,while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works.
Al-Kahfi verses 103-104
Should you worry?
-Peace be to you-
Our death is our wedding with eternity.
What is the secret? "God is One."
The sunlight splits when entering the windows of the house.
This multiplicity exists in the cluster of grapes;
It is not in the juice made from the grapes.
For he who is living in the Light of God,
The death of the carnal soul is a blessing.
Regarding him, say neither bad nor good,
For he is gone beyond the good and the bad.
Fix your eyes on God and do not talk about what is invisible,
So that he may place another look in your eyes.
It is in the vision of the physical eyes
That no invisible or secret thing exists.
But when the eye is turned toward the Light of God
What thing could remain hidden under such a Light?
Although all lights emanate from the Divine Light
Don't call all these lights "the Light of God";
It is the eternal light which is the Light of God,
The ephemeral light is an attribute of the body and the flesh.
...Oh God who gives the grace of vision!
The bird of vision is flying towards You with the wings of desire.
(Mystic Odes 833)

"It is said that after Muhammad and the prophets revelation does not descend upon anyone else. Why not? In fact it does, but then it is not called 'revelation.' It is what the Prophet referred to when he said, 'The believer sees with the Light of God.' When the believer looks with 'The believer sees with the Light of God.' When the believer looks with God's Light, he sees all things: the first and the last, the present and the absent. For how can anything be hidden from God's Light? And if something is hidden, then it is not the Light of God. Therefore the meaning of revelation exists, even if it is not called revelation."
Fihi ma fihi [Discourses of Rumi]
quoted from William C. Chittick, The Sufi Path of Love:
The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi
Ya Huu
Berkata Sayidina Ali r.a :
Kenalilah Islam dahulu barulah kamu kenal manusia, nescaya kamu boleh melihat kebenaran dan kebatilannya.
Jika kenal manusia dahulu baru Islam,nescaya kebenaran Islam hanya dilihat melalui kata-kata dan perbuatannya walaupun ia adalah batil (tidak benar).
Ya Huu
O brother, Wisdom is pouring into you
from the beloved saint of God.
You've only borrowed it.
Although the house of your heart
is lit from inside,
that light is lent by a luminous neighbor.
Give thanks; don't be arrogant or vain;
pay attention without self-importance.
It's sad that this borrowed state
has put religious communities
far from religious communion.

Go with the flow.or should we? nowadays it seems to be a catch phrase of sorts to simply "go with the flow".What it means this poor soul has yet fail to understand.From what little can be made of it,it simply means to relent to what is the norm in a particular society.Whether it is right or wrong is none of my business to say.But lets remind ourselves that not every stream flows to the sea.Some might end in the sewage and stagnate, creating an awful stench.We are mere drops of water hoping to reach the ocean.May God lead us to the right path (sirat al mustaqim) with His Love(Wadood) and Compassion(Raheem) lest we are unable to bear His Majesty(Jalal) and severity (Qahhar).Only He knows.
be the drop that became the ocean.in the ocean no drops remain,all are the same.annihilation.unity in the vastness.endless.

A'udhu billah hi minassyaitan nir rajeem,
Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem,

Only those who are at peace can make peace.
Only those who have love can give love.
If you want mercy be merciful.
Mercy is spread by those who are mercy full.
Hadrat Abdul Qadir al-Gaylani q.s. says, "My son, first educate yourself, put yourself on the straight path, then to the others. You know that you yourself, are in need, how can you satisfy the needs of others. Your eyes can see only the distance one step away, while you are trying to lead the blind.
How many times have we heard these kinds of sayings(i.e:those conveying the same message).We constantly say it is so "cliche","oh I've heard that like a thousand times" etc,etc.But maybe the actual question is "have I ever ACTUALLY understood the meaning?".Maybe what we need is not something new,but a fresh perspective.Is it not the window that determines how much sunshine that gets to our room.And remember the lost is our own. Realise that the sun does not stop shining even though we close our eyes.
May God grant us the decency to open our eyes and see.
For: He is the Light of the heavens and the earth
"Allahu nurussamaa waa ti wal 'ard "
and: He leads whomever He wills

"O people who take pleasure in a life that will vanish, falling in love with a fading shadow is sheer stupidity." - Ibn al-Qayyim

A'udhu billah hi minassyaitan nir rajeem,
A'udhu billah hi minassyaitan nir rajeem,
Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem,
La hawla wala quwwata illa billah hil aliyyil azeem
Oh Servants of the Lord… don’t be like slaves rowing in the galley of a ship. If you pray, you must pray with love.
You must be fountains of love, Or springs of love,
Or taps of love Or rivers of love or seas of love or
Oceans of love.
The Lord - our Lord, your Lord, their Lord – is One.
-Peace be to you-
The morning light is by your countenance
And the splendour of the nights by your plaits
The master is a treasure of grace
The master is a treasure of mercy
He is the guide of the whole community
And the one who shows the way of the Sacred Law
They (sheep) came upon the gesture of a finger
Stones from the Hijaz began to speak
And the moon was split in two
By a single gesture of the finger
On the night of the Ascension
The Archangel Gabriel came with tidings of God
Allah called him to the heavens
(And) bestowed upon him the honour of intimacy
Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us.
We taste only sacredness.
Suatu hari seorang telah melihat Shaikh Abul Qosim Al-Junaid membawa tasbih .Lalu ditanyakan kepada Syaikh:
"Engkau dengan segala ketiggian(maqamat dan ahwal kerohanian),masih lagi membawa tasbih ditanganmu?"
Jawab Syaikh Abul Qosim;
"Jalan yang telah membawa aku kepada Tuhanku,tiadalah aku akan berpisah dengannya".

Saying of Prophet Muhammad,
Oh Allah! I come to you because you know all, even what is hidden.
If what I am doing is good for me and my religion, for my life now and later, then let the task be easy and blessed.
If what I am doing now is bad for me and my religion, for my life now and later, then keep me far from this task.
