Do you Love?

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the universe, who created us from nothing and granted us life and death. Innal hamdulillah wa salaat wa salaam 'alaa Rasulillah. Subhanallahi wabihamdih, subhanallahil azheem. Astaghfirullah hal azheem.

Allahu Rabbi

Dear brothers and sisters, may Allah grant everyone the sweet taste of iman and the beautiful musk of as-sabr wa salimul qalb. Insya Allah. Masha Allah, It had been 5 months since I arrived in this warm country and yet, I am still adapting to this beautiful watan where Allah grants it as a shelter to myself in a hectic city (that Allah grants rain almost daily - masha Allah, la hawlawala quwwatailla billah) and my family back in my kampung also my fellow brothers and sisters in creed. As I peruse some of my old notes, I come across this beautiful hadith and I thought of sharing this with you as a token of love. May it benefits us in the hereafter. Insya Allah.

Abu Idris Al-Khaulani (May Allah had mercy upon him) reported: I once entered the mosque in Damascus. I happened to catch sight of a young man who had bright teeth (i.e., he was always seen smiling). A number of people had gathered around him. When they differed over anything they would refer it to him and act upon his advice. I asked who he was and I was told that he was Mu`adh bin Jabal (May Allah be pleased with him) The next day I hastened to the mosque, but found that he had arrived before me and was busy in performing Salat. I waited until he finished, and then went to him from the front, greeted him with Salam and said to him, “By Allah I love you.” He asked, “For the sake of Allah?” I replied, “Yes, for the sake of Allah”. He again asked me, “Is it for Allah’s sake?” I replied, “Yes, it is for Allah’s sake.” Then he took hold of my cloak, drew me to himself and said, “Rejoice,! I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, `Allah, the Exalted, says: My love is due to those who love one another for My sake, meet one another for My sake, visit one another for My sake and spend in charity for My sake”.

[HR Imam Malik]

So, my brothers and sisters, I would like to tell you that I love you, for the sake of Allah! Lets spread love and the spirit of islam to others and let them feel and taste this rejuvinating trinkle of Light that warms the heart and clears the mind. Ana uhibbukum fillah! Alhamdulillah wa syukrillah. Fawathiqillahumma rabithotahaa.

Caravanserai

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

This is our journey

Talib al-Habib - Caravanserai

And so this traveller
Lost and weary wandering far from home
Came at last upon your caravanserai
And were the oceans meet the sea
In grief and anguish he did weep
So long I've wandered and yet still I know not what I seek
And yet reflected in your eyes I see the truth that splits the night
So can you whisper to me
The secret of what worship is
So you said to me: La ilaha ilallah Allahu Allahu

You cannot worship until you love
You cannot love until you feel
You cannot feel until you understand
You cant understand until you learn
You cannot learn until you have been found
Can't be found until you seek
You cannot seek nor find, until you yearn
And you will not yearn till you remember
So remember
La ilaha ilallah Allahu Allahu

The traveller's heart stood and awoke
And born aloft on wings of hope
They held a deeper mystery glimmering beneath your words
He cast himself before your feet
And know that, that of which you speak
Cant only find by seeking
But only seekers find it
Yet in the footsteps that you make
I see the path that I must take
So may I follow you and learn the secrets that you keep

You said: Remember and you will yearn
Yearn and you will seek
Seek, seek you will be found

And when you're found then you will learn
When you learn then you will understand
Understand and you will feel when you feel Him
Then you will love
And when you love then you will worship
Then you worship
La ilaha ilallah Allahu Allahu

اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ سَهْلَ إِلاَّ مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً
وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَزْنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً

Ya Allah! Tidak ada kemudahan kecuali apa yang Engkau jadikan mudah. Sedang yang susah boleh Engkau jadikan mudah, apabila Engkau menghendakinya.

[Kitab Hisnul Muslim,Sheikh Said bin 'Ali bin Wahf Al-Qahthani]

The du'a is like a shield, like a medicine and like an icing on the cake. We recite du'as at all time, it is like dhikrullah, we supplicate to Allah when we are happy, we supplicate to Him when we are in distress and we supplicate to Him for everything. May Allah bless us with maghfirah and His divine Rahmah so that we are always given the blessings to remember Him and supplicate to Him. Insya Allah.

'Abdullah ibn Umar r.a. said: Allah's messenger s.a.w never failed to use these words in the evening and the morning:

"O'Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the next; O' Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion and my worldly affairs, in my family and my property; O' Allah, conceal my faults and keep me safe from the things which I fear; O' Allah, guard me [from all evils] from in front or behind, from my right or from my left, and from above me; and I seek refuge in Your greatness from receiving unexpected harm from below me."

[HR Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah]

May Allah shrouds us with His divine Mercy so that we can attain His Love that enables us to follow the footsteps of the prophets, sahabahs, tabi'in, and the salaf as-soleh who fought and taught in the name of Allah. May Allah accept our deeds, forgive us and increase our iman. Ameen ya Rabbal 'alameen.

Faghfirly ma qaddamna, wa ma ak-kharna, wa ma asrarna wa ma a'klanna. Ya Ghafur, ya Salam, ya Halim, ya Fattah, ya Muqit wal-Mubdi.
