Nazme Aalam badal rahaa hai

Below are some excerpts from the Bayan of Moulana Sajjad Nomani in Qadariya Masjid, Bangalore

Sunte hain sunte hain lekin badalte nahi ...Mufti Shoebullah Khan Sab

Mufti Ameerul Hussaini worked a lot..during creation of Israel ...but no one listened

Nazme Aalam badal rahaa hai
Allah jaante hain hamare liye kya muzir hai aur kya achcha

Gaza ke shaheedon ka aur baitul muqaddas ka waasta deta hun kya ab bhi hum tauba nahi karenge

Gunahon ki wajah se Allah ki madad ruk jaati hai

Drawing room me baith ke islaah nahi hoti

Apni islaah ki koshish..aur Allah se kareeb hone ki hum kyon koshish nahi karte?

Aaj hum bayaan sunkar mumtahin ki tarah bayaan karne waale ko pAs ya fail karte hain

Apni ghaltiyon ko chun chun kar khatam karne ki koshish karen

Ittehad paida hota hai nafs ki islaah se

Apni  zindagi ka meeyar ko saada karo

Bachcho ki barbaadi ka bahut bad a sabab maa baap hai

Apni fuzool kharchiyon ko kam karo

Baith ke socho apne gunahon ko, Khud!

Commentary karna bahut aasaan hai
Gaza ka haalaath commentary karnewalon se nahi badle
Jaan ki baazi laganewalon se badalte hain

Sorrow of existence

Gham-e hasti ka Asad kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
sham'a har rang me~ jalti he sahar hone tak

Except death, O Asad, what healeth the sorrow of existence,
The candle, in all shades burn, till the dawn breaks

Advice of Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jeelani (Rahmatullahi ‘alaih)

One mureed, after having spent many years in the company of Sheikh Abdul Qader Jailani (Rahmatullah ‘alaih), requested some parting advice, before taking leave from his Sheikh. Sheikh Abdul Qader Jailani (Rahmatullah ‘alaih) told him :
“Do not claim Divinity and do not claim Nabuwwat (Prophethood).”
The mureed asked : “Does Hazrat think that after all these years in Hazrat’s company, I will make such a claim ?”
Sheikh Abdul Qader Jailani (Rahmatullah ‘alaih) explained to his mureed that, “Do
not claim to be Allah.” means that do not wish that everything happens according to your will and desire. If you do so, then you are claiming to be Allah; whereas
whatever Allah Ta’ala wills, will happen, for it is HE who makes the final decisions in all matters. As far as we, human beings, are concerned, if we feel that our whims and fancies have to be fulfilled as is, then we are claiming to be Allah.

“Do not claim Nabuwwat.” means that no matter how much of piety and Taqwa you acquire with Islaah and Tazkia, don’t make the claim that you are sinless and never in the wrong. This is the sifat (attribute) of the Ambiyaa (‘Alaihimus Salaam), for they are ‘ma’soom’ (sinless) and ‘mahfooz’ (protected from sin). Therefore, no matter how much of time you have spent in the suhbat (company) and khidmat (service) of your Sheikh and no matter what high rank you attain to, do not think that you are like the Rasul of Allah and that no slip can occur in your life. Do not claim that you will never err because of the years spent with your Sheikh and because of the Wilayat conferred upon you. Being human beings we are prone to slip.

Aqwale Zareen - Hazrat Ali Radiyallaho Anhu's sayings

1) Bewqoof aurat Apne shohar ko apna Ghulam banati hai aur khud Ghulam ki Biwi ban jati hai..
Jab ke aqalmand aurat apne Shohar ko Badshah banati hai aur khud Badshah ki Mallika banjati hai..

2) Agar kisi ka zarf aazmana ho to usko zyada izzat do... Woh alaa zarf hua to aap ko aur izzat dega aur kam zarf hua to khud ko AALA ZARF samjhega...

3) Zindagi ke har mod par sulaah karna seekho. Kyun ke jhukta wohi hai jis me jaan hoti hai. Akadna to murday ki pehchaan hoti hai...

4) Dua mangte raho kyun ke mumkin aur na mumkin to sirf hamari soch me hai, ALLAH (S.W.T) ke liye to kuch bhi na mumkin nahi...

5) Apni ghaltiyon se taqdeer ko badnaam mat karo kyun ki taqdeer to khud himmat ki mohtaaj hoti hai...

6) Dua dastak ki tarah hai musalsal dastak say darwaza khul hi jata hai...

7) Dukh me tum kabhi bhi pachtawe ke aansu na bahao kyun ki tum wo khush naseeb ho jise ALLAH ne aazmaish ke qaabil samjha hai...

8) Jo tumhe khushi mein yaad aaye, samjho tum us se mohabbat karte ho aur jo tumhe gham me yaad aaye to samjho woh tum se mohabbat karta hai...

9) Rishton ki khoobsurti ek dosre ki baat ko bardasht karna hai...Be-aeb insaan talash mat karo warna akele reh jaoge...

10) Agar tum use na pa sako jise tum chahte ho, to usay zaroor pa lena jo tumhe chahta hai kyun ki chahne se chaahe jane ka ehsas zyada khoobsurat hota hai...

11) Logon ke khauf me aa kar haq goyi se na rukna, yaad rakho na to koi maut ko qareeb kar sakta hai aur na rizq ko door kar sakta hai...

"Is he not from the Ummah of Muhammad SAW?

Sultan Murad IV, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623-1640, would often anonymously go into the midst of the people and see their state. One evening, he felt an uneasiness in himself and the urge to go out. He called for his head of security and and out they went.

They came to a busy vicinity,and found a man lying on the ground. The Sultan prodded him but he was dead and the people were going about their own business. Nobody seemed to care about the dead man lying on the ground. The Sultan called upon the people. they didn't recognise him and asked him what he wanted.

He said, "Why is this man lying dead on the ground and why does no one seem to care? Where is his family?"

They replied, "He is so and so, the drunkard and fornicator!"

The Sultan said, "Is he not from the Ummah of Muhammad
SAW? Now help me carry him to his house"

They people carried the dead man with the Sultan to his house and once they reached, they all left. The Sultan and his assistant remained. When the man's wife saw his dead body, she began weeping. She said to his dead body, "Allah have mercy on you! O friend of Allah! I bear witness that you are from the pious ones."

The Sultan was bewildered. He said, "How is he from the pious ones when the people say such and such things about him. So much so that no one even cared he was dead?"

She replied, "I was expecting that. My husband would go to the tavern every night and buy as much wine as he could. He would then bring it home and pour it all down the drain. He would then say, "I saved the Muslims a little today." He would then go to a prostitute, give her some money and tell her to close her door till the morning. He would then return home for a second time and say, "Today I saved a young woman and the youth of the believers from vice." The people would see him buy wine and they would see him go to the prostitutes and they would consequently talk about him. One day I said to him, "When you die, there will be no one to bathe you, there will be no one to pray over you and there will be no one to bury you!" He laughed and replied, "Don't fear, the Sultan of the believers, along with the pious ones shall pray over my body."

The Sultan began crying. He said, "By Allah! He has said the truth, for I am Sultan Murad. Tomorrow we shall bathe him, pray over him and bury him." And it so happened that the Sultan, the scholars, the pious people and the masses prayed over him.

We judge people by what we see and what we hear from others. Only if we were to see what was concealed in their hearts, a secret between them and their Lord.

"O you who believe, abstain from many of the suspicions. Some suspicions are sins. And do not be curious (to find out faults of others), and do not backbite one another. Does one of you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful." (49:12)
