Path of Seeking Knowledge for Allah (swt)

1. Zuhud - Not in leaving material things alone, but for one's heart not to be attached to worldly matters. Renunciation - Leave excess matters (that which is beyond/without benefit). Strive to liv

e hadith of Prophet (pbuh) “From the excellence of a man's Islam is to leave that which does not concern him." Look at your day/week and what things are wasteful? leave it! Prioritise and leave most wasteful things first. Renounce that which doesn't benefit.

2. Knowledge - You need to know what you need to know. Know knowledge! Know the way of knowledge and purpose of knowledge. Purpose of knowledge - seeking closeness to Allah (swt). Pursue with purpose and benefit. Stages of seeking knowledge.

3. Tawakul - Has several aspects. Ignore what people say and focus on what benefits you. Remember Tawhid. You are weak and Allah fulfils all needs. Take means and having full tawakul in Allah. Must hang your heart to Allah. Attach heart to Allah. Striving yourself doesn't lead to success but Allah is the one who grants success - by taking the means. Serve with excellence knowing it’s only through Allah (swt). Will get many doubts but keep tawakul. Seek mentors who can advice. 

4. Certitude - Have complete trust. Prophet (pbuh) said; 'Allah has guaranteed paradise for three - one is seeker of knowledge'. Suspend those doubts. Follow the Sunnah and you will benefit in allsorts of ways. When reading book from scholars of past then have adab as though you are sitting in their presence. Have a point of connection with the Prophetic message. Attend gatherings of knowledge. Take online classes. What Allah and His Prophet have said is correct. Have conviction. Only speak with certainty and it will have impact.

These four above require nurturing.

(Notes i took whilst watching the assembly and insha'Allah they are correct and Allah knows best!).

I AM!

These are two of the most powerful words. Add another word next to it eg; 'I Am a Genius' and if you're inner core really believes it then it'll work wonders for your confidence and self-esteem.

Go on, try it! :)

Remember - your inner core, the depths of your soul need to believe it and once YOU believe it, YOU can achieve it!

{Lesson I learnt from my 'Emotional Healing Workshop' that I attended in the weekend.}

GUILTY! Until Proven Innocent!

...If we can't trust our own country, the officials and authorities who are appointed for our care, safety and well being then what of that country and its laws?

But the law of the Creator of the Heavens and Earth - the entire Universe is Greater than any law.

He created man from a mixed fluid - lowest of low and gave him honour. And now man thinks he's greater than his Creator? Man challenges the One who created him?

Allah's true servants have and always will be tested and the most tested were the Prophets. Who are we next to the chosen ones? Nothing! But Allah's true ones will be tested.

Proof - there is life to come - which is better than the life on earth because earth is also a creation of our Creator.

Never despair in the mercy of the Creator of the Universe as only He holds the keys to infinite wisdom.

Let us work harder - day and night - me and you. Let us work harder for the life to come insha'Allah...
