Life after Death

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Silence

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

"Silence is a prayer, without labour;

Awe without domination;

A Castle without battlements;

Victory without weapons;

Rest for the Guardian Angels;

A Fortress for the pious;

A Characteristic of the humble;

The Rulers use it to overawe their subjects;

It is a treasure-house of Wisdom;

and it is the only answer to the queries of the ignorant."

He Knows...

Caution for students of knowledge

1.)         Criticising others,

2.)         Praising themselves,

3.)         Not teaching Ilm, and

4.)         Not practicing what they know.”

More beloved than his knowledge

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

 “We used to sometimes go to a Scholar, and what we 

learnt of his manners, was more beloved to us, 

than the knowledge we took from him.”

Hardest on the nafs

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

When Hazrat Sahl ibn Abdullah at-Tustari (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh) was asked, 

"What is the hardest thing for the nafs?"

He said: "Ikhlaas! Because the nafs has no share therein."

Your burial shroud
