According to Abu Dharr (ra), the Prophet (saws), said, reporting the words of Allah (swt)

O My servants, I have forbidden injustice to Myself and I havemade it forbidden amongst you. So be not unjust to one another.

O My servants, all of you go astray except the one whom I guide.

Ask guidance of Me, and I shall guide you.

O My servants, all of you go hungry except the one whom I feed. Ask Me for food, and I shall feed you.

O My servants, all of you go naked except the one whom I clothe. Ask Me for clothing, and I shall clothe you.

O My servants, you transgress by day and night, but I forgive all misdeeds. Ask forgiveness of Me, and I shall forgive you.

O My servants, harming Me is beyond you, so you cannot harm Me; and benefiting Me is beyond you, so you cannot benefit Me.

O My servants, if all of you – first and last, man and jinn – were like the one among you with the most devout heart, that would add nothing to My kingdom.

O My servants, if all of you – first and last, man and jinn – were like the one among you with the most ungodly heart, that would take nothing away from My kingdom.

O My servants, if all of you – first and last, man and jinn – were to stand on the same level and address Me with your requests, and if I were to give each one what he had requested, that would not

diminish what is with Me, any more than a needle diminishes the sea when it enters it.

O My servants, it is solely your deeds that I take account of, and it is by virtue of them that I will repay you. So let him who finds good, praise God, and let him who finds other than that, hold none but

himself to blame.

Recorded in ibn ‘Arabi’s Mishkat al-Anwar and in the Sahih Hadith collection of Muslim

On tawbah (repentance) and istigfar (seeking forgiveness)

The Prophet pbuh.gif reported that Allah allah.gif says:

‘O son of Adam, as long as you call on Me, I shall forgive you of what you have done, and think nothing of it. O son of Adam, even if your sins were to reach up to the clouds in the sky, and then you were to ask for My forgiveness, I would forgive you and think nothing of it. O son of Adam, even if you were to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and then you were to meet Me after death, not worshiping anything besides Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as the earth.

Awesome opportunity!

Habib Umar Morning lessons through Sunday!!

From today's lesson

“Travelling the path to God is knowledge; the intellect is the guide; God is the goal; and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) is the guide.” Habib Umar quoting a distinguished scholar…

“Sternness” with disbelievers refers to remaining firm on one’s religion, not that one is harsh or hard in one’s relations; nor that one upholds anything but excellence in dealings… Never did the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) ever frown at anyone, nor insult, nor revile *anyone*… even his enemies

Anyone want to give me feedback on my convert resource page? It's been awhile since it was loved, and needs some attention.

  • Is it getting to be too long and non-user friendly? I’m thinking of breaking it up into subpages
  • It needs updating. I’m looking both for new sections that may be helpful and new resources to go into existing sections. Web pages, audio, video, and real life resources are all acceptable. Also, if I’ve written an especially helpful blog post that you remember, let me know that too, and I can include a direct link to that as well.

FYI, I'm an unabashed pro madhab, pro tasawwuf neo-traditionalist. I tend to recommend resources from that perspective, and definitely do not take kindly to madhab and/or tasawwuf bashing.

I like this explanation:

“The ibtidaa (beginning) of Tasawwuf is:

Innamal a’amaalu binniyyaat

(verily actions are judged by the intentions).

The intihaa (ending) is:

An ta’budullaaha ka-annaka taraahu

(Worship Allah as though you see him)”

~Shaykh Muhammad Zakariyya Khandalwi (ra)

Hey... anyone want to...erm...share conversion stories? I feel stuck between Christianity and Islam and would love to hear from people who have been there. PM or whatever, not asking to talk about personal stuff on the sometimes volatile and crazy MENA board. Thanks in advance.a

Mine is here. I prefer to keep control over it, because I feel a conversion narrative is something that is constantly evolving as I continue in the deen. I think it's something intensely personal and complex, and not something easily explained. It's also probably due for another read through and update.

And, my page for convert/interested in islam resources. Also in need of an update and some major reorganization. If I have a chance to take a week off this summer, I plan to do some major revisions and maybe set it up as a mini website.

It's almost Rajab! That means only 8 weeks to Ramadan. Best to start fasting a day or 2 per week now, cuz you don't want to jump into the deep end of the pool without warming up first, especially in summer.

on the recommendation to fast mondays and thursdays
