A LOVE THAT NEVER IS..

Assalamu Alaikum,
What can you say about a person who praises his wife for everything but forgets to be her husband! He holds her in high regard, talks sweet and does every kind of help- works hard, earns and spends money for her. But in that attempt he forgets what she actually needs.

A PILGRIM’S PROGRESS..

Assalamu Alaikum,
Once I visited the shrine of Khwaja Bande Nawaz (May Allah Sanctify His secret) at Gulbarga, India with my Usthad and Shaykh. The shrine was built by a king as his present to Khwaja in his lifetime itself. The journey, I later understood, was a lesson for the journey towards Allah. I [...]

THE BRILLIANT STAR IS HE…

Assalamu Alaikom..
‘When I seek peace, He is
the kindly intercessor,
And when I go to war,
the dagger, that is He;
And when I come to meetings,
He is the wine and the sweetmeat.
And when I come to gardens,
the fragrance, that is He.
When I go to the mines, deep,
He is the ruby there,
When I delve in the ocean,
the precious pearl [...]
