"Reflect on this. In the Qur’ān, Allāh jalla wa ‘alā says: “They ask you about the crescent moons...."

“

Reflect on this. In the Qur’ān, Allāh jalla wa ‘alā says:

“They ask you about the crescent moons. Say…”
“They ask you what they should give. Say…”
“They ask you about fighting in the prohibited month. Say…”
“They ask you about intoxicants and gambling. Say…”
“They ask you about menstruation. Say…”
“They ask you what is lawful for them. Say…”
“They ask you about the Hour, ‘When will it happe…n?’ Say…”
“They ask you about it as if you were eager to find out. Say…”
“They ask you about the battle gains. Say…”
“People ask you about the Hour. Say…”

Every single non-repeated honest question in this form in the Qur’ān, is followed by the command from Allāh jalla wa ‘alā to: SAY…

Except for one verse.

Allāh jalla wa ‘alā said: “If My servants ask you about Me…I am near.”

Amazing. He never told the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) this time to, “Say…”

Why? Because this is about du‘ā. There are no intermediaries needed such as previously like the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam), when it comes to du‘ā.

This is about the slave of Allāh wanting to speak to his true Lord – a Lord who doesn’t need appointments, loves to be asked, loves those who make constant du‘ā to Him, loves those who don’t depend on anyone but Him, loves that there are no intermediaries between Him and His slave, and loves to respond directly when spoken to directly and sincerely.

Allāhu Akbar. This really is a breath-taking point to consider from the amazing splendours of the Qur’ān.

The most striking thing about the beauty of an authentic orthodox Islam as practised by the Salaf, is just this direct, pure and immediate access to Allāh when you want to speak to Him.

There are no Catholic Priests, or in a more orthodox Christian light the Son of God, or indeed various gods from a polytheistic angle such as Hinduism, or special intermediaries in Sufi mystic orders and tarīqahs, or certains Imāms with the Shī‘ah, and even the use of the Prophet within some Sunni Muslim sects, that are required to carry your message, plea or request to Allāh Almighty Himself.

No. It’s just you and Allāh. Speak to Him directly to your heart’s content. And now after realising just how easy Allāh makes this and wants you to come straight to Him, I hope you will do so even more now. Du‘ā truly is the weapon of the Believer. Don’t be stingy or delay using it ever.

“Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, ‘When a person curses (something or somebody), the curse ascends to heaven, and the gates of heaven are closed to it. Then it comes back down to earth and the gates of earth are closed to it. Then it looks right and left, and if it does not find anywhere to go, it goes to the one who was cursed, and if he/she/it deserves it (it befalls him), otherwise it goes back to the one who uttered it.’”

“No amount of guilt can change the past & no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah’s decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee ..”

“Banyak mata yang berjaga malam, banyak pula yang tertidur lelap. Memikirkan persoalan yang sudah atau akan terjadi. Tinggalkanlah rasa duka semampumu kerana memikul beban duka boleh mendorongmu hilang kewarasan. Kelmarin, Tuhan telah membantumu. Percayalah esok Dia masih akan tetap menolongmu. Bersangka baiklah kepada Allah. -Imam as-Syafi’e rahimahullah”

whatpath:

Dear Son & Daughter of Adam.

How are you?

I guess you haven’t thought about me for a while have you? Maybe for a month or even a year?

I think about you every single day.

I am full of darkness, so when you visit me bring the light of your Salaat.

I am a place full of fear, so bring with you the peace of Quran.

I am full of snakes and scorpions, so bring with you the Sunnah.

I am full of punishment so bring your charity and sadaqah.

Dear Son & Daughter of Adam, you will soon be visiting me. That is an absolute fact.

Undeniable.

I am waiting for you. Have you prepared the above?

From,
“The Grave”

““Jika engkau memperoleh seorang teman duduk yang mengingatkan engkau kepada Allah dengan melihat wajahnya dan perjalanan hidupnya, maka rapatilah dan jangan engkau berpisah daripadanya!! Rampaslah hatinya dan janganlah engkau memandang hina kepadanya!! Kerana itu adalah rampasan bagi orang yang berakal dan barang hilang bagi orang Mukmin.. Dan yakinlah, bahawa teman duduk yang sholeh itu, lebih baik daripada sendirian.. Dan sendirian itu, lebih baik daripada teman duduk yang jahat..””
