To have Complete Faith in God...




Waqas says:

brother my question is... to how to have complete faith in GOD?


Aamir says:

good question


Aamir says:

did i talk to u about this few days back too ?


Aamir says:

when i said the best way to know God is to know urself ?


Waqas says:

yes


Waqas says:

and...


Aamir says:

i told you to gaurd stricktly your habbit of prayers


Aamir says:

salaat is one thing, if it becomes proper then everything becomes proper


Waqas says:

yes... so to have complete faith in God, salath?


Aamir says:

yes


Aamir says:

in the beginning of surah baqarah ALLAH says, Aliff Laaam Meeem, This book has guidance for those who have faith , those who believe in UNSEEN and those who ESTABLISH THEIR PRAYERS


Aamir says:

Love and faith in God is based on something which is more superior than material world .. we see our beloved (i.e our girlfriend or whatever), but for divine love the criteria is different


Aamir says:

Love does not require proof, Love does not require anything .. Love is a feeling which you cannot understand untill you fall in love yourself


Waqas says:

right..


Aamir says:

i see boyfriends and girlfrieds doing all sorts of wierd things, even giving their lives


Aamir says:

what is that love ? .. who created that Love ?


Waqas says:

yes...


Aamir says:

why not love the one who creates love


Waqas says:

true.


Aamir says:

this is the realization which we need to have


Aamir says:

look at your emotions, look at your desires


Aamir says:

thats exact proof of God itself


Waqas says:

yeah, deep


Aamir says:

but at the same time Quran does not ask you to believe blindly, Quran says over and over again that this book has guidance for those who ponder


Waqas says:

yes right.


Aamir says:

i was lost in material love myself


Aamir says:

Islam allows you to learn .. one of the greatest revivors of Islam , known as Proof of Islam through the world .. Abu Hamid al Ghazzali belonged to a wrong sect


Aamir says:

but he went through a phase and pondered, he left the material world and concentrated on ALLAH alone .. he ggot best of guidance


Waqas says:

SubhanAllah


Waqas says:

but i cannot leave this material world, can i? have to stay in here


Aamir says:

the west recognizes him as Gazale, the west itself says that when everyone was lost during medivel times, such great muslims rose the world high


Aamir says:

when i say leave the material world i dont mean to say go to jungle or something .. hehe


Waqas says:

than..lol


Aamir says:

what i mean to say is that love the divine more than world


Aamir says:

no obedience to creation in disobedience to creator


Waqas says:

right very right.


Aamir says:

u have to live in this world .. but still leave the world


Aamir says:

understand my point?


Waqas says:

yes i do


Aamir says:

heard the song everystep you take , I;ll be watching u by sting?


Waqas says:

nope


Waqas says:

i dun listen to music


Aamir says:

so dont i


Aamir says:

but i remember the song from my past


Aamir says:

and i mentioned it for a reason


Aamir says:

the idiot singer attributes the watching thing to himself


Aamir says:

which is his lie


Waqas says:

lol yeah


Aamir says:

but look at the lyrics and ponder that its ALLAH whos watching u at every step


Waqas says:

yes very true.


Aamir says:

faith = even if u stand at traffic signal at 2 am and nobody is watching u, u will not break the
signal


Aamir says:

because Lord is watching u


Aamir says:

even if other cars pass by and the person sitting on rear seat laughs at u


Waqas says:

yeah true


Aamir says:

Islam is less of a religion and more of perfection


Aamir says:

religion ends at La Ilaha Il ALLAH Muhammad Ur Rasul Ullah


Aamir says:

rest is all duniya


Waqas says:

SubhanAllah very right.


Aamir says:

in 1 hadith al Qudsi (words of ALLAH in hadith) ALLAH said this world is like his Kunba (family)


Aamir says:

so be nice to all


Aamir says:

dont take the word Family literally, its a metaphor


Waqas says:

yes


Waqas says:

PLEA....

Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.

Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.
-RUMI

You are happy, happy, but I am a thousand times happier!Whom have I encountered in my dream last night? I know not.I am so happy, I cannot be contained in the world;
But like a spirit, I am hidden from the eyes of the world.If the foot of the trees were not tied to earth, they would be pursuing me;For I have blossomed so much, I am the envy of the gardens. - Rumi

Love is the Master

LOVE IS THE MASTER

Love is the One who masters all things;
I am mastered totally by Love.
By my passion of love for Love
I have ground sweet as sugar.
O furious Wind, I am only a straw before you;
How could I know where I will be blown next?
Whoever claims to have made a pact with Destiny
Reveals himself a liar and a fool;
What is any of us but a straw in a storm?
How could anyone make a pact with a hurricane?
God is working everywhere his massive Resurrection;
How can we pretend to act on our own?
In the hand of Love I am like a cat in a sack;
Sometimes Love hoists me into the air,
Sometimes Love flings me into the air,
Love swings me round and round His head;
I have no peace, in this world or any other.
The lovers of God have fallen in a furious river;
They have surrendered themselves to Love's commands.
Like mill wheels they turn, day and night, day and night,
Constantly turning and turning, and crying out.

Love Love Love

"Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover. The way of our prophets is the way of Truth. If you want to live, die in Love; die in Love if you want to remain alive." - Rumi

Hazrat Abu baker (May God be pleased with him)

One day the Holy Prophet to his companions appealed
“All who have wealth should give some in God’s cause”

One hearing this command Umar rose in intense happiness
That day he had acquired several thousand dirhams1

He was saying to himself that certainly that day
He would excel Öiddâq by far that day

At last he brought the wealth before the Holy Prophet
Starting the action is a prelude to the necessary sacrifice

The Holy Prophet asked him, “O Umar!
To whom God’s Love is the solace of the heart!

Have you kept anything for the family?
Muslim is responsible for family’s rights

He exclaimed “Half wealth is the son and wife’s share
The rest is made a present to the Ummah in sacrifice”

Soon after, that friend of prophethood also arrived
On whom the foundation of Love is established

That man of proved loyalty brought with him
Everything which is creditable in the world’s eye

All that right hand possessed, in cash, kind, chattel
Beautiful horses, camels, mules and donkeys

The Holy Prophet said, “You also need to care for the family”
Replied that secret-keeper of Love and Fidelity

“O you who give light to the eyes of the moon and the stars
Who was made the reason for creation of the universe 2

Lamp to the moth, flower to the nightingale is sufficient
For Öiddâq only the Prophet of God is sufficient!

Unconditional Love

To the deepest essence of the word, LOVE is nothing but the most enhanced level of liking something or somebody. One doesnt expect anything in return when he simply likes or dislikes anything or anyone neither can one explain it or the reasons behind it as its just a feeling - originated and governed by the heart - instead of a deal that is originated and governed by mind.

A human mind always take things analytically and assess everything in the universe on material existance, fame and profit/loss scales while feelings (heart) doesnt bother about reasonings or any of the attributes required for mental satisfaction.

You love somebody ONLY when you dont expact anything in return and when you do expact anything in return then it more falls under the definition of a deal which is filled with terms and conditions. Love is always unconditional, if not then its lust rather than love.

The most purest form of the love found in this universe is the one of parents for their children. Do they love their child with any conditions? Do they love their child only when the child love them back equally or till the child abide by their orders, rules and instructions and do as has been asked to?

Allah, The Almighty, loves us 70 times more than our parents so you can imagine the extent of His love for His creatures even when they dont abide by His instructions and most of them not even recognize Him as their God and creator.

If He can love us to that extent without any conditions then how can a human think of defining conditions for loving Him; be it the condition of acceptance of prayers or progress, wealth, fame, recognition, popularity etc in this mortal world?

A Prayer for Someone special

"I pray 4 thee...Let his love be thy saviour...wen thy heart filled wid pain n anguish his love fill it wid eternal bliss... wen thy heart in turbulance, let his pure love fill it wid peace, let his luv be a tap on thy shoulder, wen thy stop...let it put a smile on thy face, wen thy give up...let it wipe off thy tears, wen u r down n out...i pray dat u Feel the presence of Allah’s love in every air that you breathe, Feel the might of His power in every drop of hope you grip n i pray dat Angels of heavens welcum u finally.... n wid dat i walk away from thee...

O' you who complain of the cruelties of the heavens,
You whose glass cries out at the injustice of the stone,
How long will you wail, cry and lament?
How long this prepetual beating of the breast?
The pith of life is contained in action,
The delight in creation is the law of life,
Arise! and create a new world...

[Allama M. Iqbal]

Luv, lust and Hatred

How cud God allow 4 luv widout evil? it iz desired to feel da real love relationships, Love iz a choice n God desires a real love relationship wid his creation. Love ain't real, unless one has da ability to not love. God kne dat in da world of choice there'd be much evil, to not to choose love iz evil by definition. Evil is a side effect of love. Suffering and death are a side effect of evil, dis side effect iz only 4 a time, evil serves da limitied purpose of establishin real lov relationshops b/w creation n creator, and evil shall be done away wid wen da purpose if achieved. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever.

Gems from Amer Bhai's profile

One I seek, One I know. One I see, One I call. He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward; If once in my life I spent a moment without thee, From that time and from that hour I repent of my life. If once in this world I win a moment with thee, I will trample on both worlds, I will dance in triumph for ever.(Jalal ud din Rumi from Divan al Shams)

The Divine love turns copper into gold and makes the bitter sweet. It humbles a king and gives life to the dead, similar has been my journey towards Truth
